* PresumedFlop: With the DCEU dying by with a string of flops, many have blamed this film for setting a bad foundation, and think it did poorly as a result of the association. It was also often unfavorably compared to Marvel's contemporary output. In reality, ''Man of Steel'' was a massive success by almost any metric: following decades of flops for Superman (and non-Batman DC in general) it grossed $668 million in 2013 USD.[[note]]$900 million in 2023.[[/note]] Not only is this more than most MCU films (including the first two ''Iron Man'' films), it's Superman's second highest grossing movie adjusted for inflation.

It also seemed to leave a good path for future films if anything, as the next few DCEU films all had very high opening weekends (notable in the case of ''Batman v Superman'' as it quickly dropped off in it second weekend, implying goodwill from this movie was initially present and then dispelled by the bad word of mouth of that one).
