Excuse me lady but what you are rambling about is not success by skill, but by hype, marketing and DC's supermans reputation.

- **Man of Steel (2013)**: Production $225M (~$313M in 2025), marketing ~$100-$150M (~$139-$208M), total ~$452-$521M. Box office $670.1M (~$932M). Profit ~$43M.

- **Superman (1978)**: Production $55M (~$264M in 2025), marketing ~$2.8M (~$13.4M), total ~$277.4M. Box office $300.5M (~$1.44B). Profit ~$323M.

- **Superman (2025)**: Production $225M, marketing ~$150-$200M, total ~$375-$425M. Box office $217M (opening weekend, global). Break-even ~$562.5M (2.5x production). Profit unknown, but needs ~$700M for success per industry standards.

**Comparison**: *Superman* (1978) had the lowest total cost and highest adjusted box office, making it the most profitable. *Man of Steel* had similar production costs to *Superman* (2025) but a higher adjusted gross.

*Superman* (2025) faces a high break-even threshold due to modern marketing costs, with early box office ($217M) suggesting a strong but uncertain path to profitability.
