Lex Luthor isn’t Superman’s strongest villain. Darkseid’s Omega Beams allow him to inflict serious pain on the Man of Steel, while Doomsday’s fists are enough to knock the hero down for the count.

"Superman" is well-liked and should play for weeks in the U.S., but DC's path back to tentpole powerhouse status will take time.

James Gunn's Superman came flying and surprised everyone. The biggest thing here was to fill the shoes and the impression that Henry Cavill's Man of Steel left on the fans.
