Part 12/15:
The episode then veers into the financial potential and prospects of Superman. Predictions early on indicated a moderate $130–$135 million opening, with international markets lagging behind due to spoiled reviews and marketing mishaps. The panel predicts that if the film garners around $700 million worldwide, Warner Bros. will consider it a success—despite criticisms about its quality and the risk of it being a superficial smash.
They express concern that Warner Brothers might interpret early box office success as license to repeat the same mistakes, producing more shallow, humor-driven, low-stakes superhero movies. The consensus is that the film's heavy focus on hype, early reviews, and online fan debates masks the deep-rooted issues: lack of focus on the hero and an inconsistent tone.
