3) Man of Steel (2013) – $225 million
This movie might not have performed as good as all the other DC and Marvel films, but it did pretty well, and so DC decided to give it another shot.
The short story? Well, Clark Kent, one of the last of an extinguished race disguised as an unremarkable human, is forced to reveal his identity when Earth is invaded by an army of survivors who threaten to bring the planet to the brink of destruction.
And now they are making a new Superman film where he needs to fight Batman played by Ben Affleck.
The film will be laying down the groundwork for Justice League films to compete with Marvel’s popular Avengers franchise because they need to, of course.
