Director Richard Donner’s Superman: The Movie, which premiered in 1978, is a classic piece of cinema that continues to shape the superhero genre today. Most recently, it led the way for writer-director James Gunn to release Superman, a more modern imagining of the Man of Steel’s adventures, with David Corenswet portraying the titular hero.

Superman is off to a great start at the box office. James Gunn kicked off his reboot of the DC Universe with the second best opening of his career, and the best ever for a solo Superman movie.
