Warner Bros. Unveils Poorly-Timed Man of Steel Collection

As part of their new tenure leading the DCU, DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran confirmed that Superman will be rebooted without Henry Cavill playing Clark Kent. This came as a massive disappointment for fans who had waited to see Cavill return to the role, which finally became a reality in 2022.

Upon the release of Black Adam, fans got the chance to celebrate Cavill's comeback, as he appeared in the movie's post-credits scene alongside Dwayne Johnson, marking his first canon appearance in the DCU since 2017's Justice League.
