Brace yourselves for a brand new era of superhero films. With Superman, we don't just get a new version of the classic superhero's journey; we get the launch of an entirely new version of the DC Comics universe. Say farewell to the DCEU and hello to the DCU.
David Corenswet stars as the titular superhero in Superman, one of the most anticipated films of the summer. It also stars Rachel Brosnahan as reporter and love interest Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult as evil villain Lex Luthor, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern Guy Gardner, Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, and María Gabriela de Faría as the Engineer. Plus, there's Krypto the Superdog, who might just steal your heart.
If you missed the Man of Steel in theaters, there are now a few different ways to tune in from your couch. Here's everything you need to know to watch Superman at home.
What is Superman about?
James Gunn's Superman follows Clark Kent/Superman (Corenswet) as he struggles to balance his average life as reporter Clark Kent with his fight for truth, justice, and the American way as Superman. It's not an origin story re-telling, but instead focuses on Superman in his third year of protecting Metropolis. He already has an existing relationship with Lois Lane (Brosnahan), who disagrees with his actions in stopping a war. Meanwhile, Lex Luthor (Hoult) is plotting to take him down.
Check out the trailer for a sneak peek:
Is the new Superman worth watching?
There was a lot riding on Gunn's Superman, and for the most part, it delivers. Mashable's reviewer called it "big summer fun" and "a promise of something greater on the horizon." It's not perfect, but it's certainly a breath of fresh air in the superhero realm. It drew in a massive $615 million at the worldwide box office. That not only makes it the highest-grossing superhero movie this year, but the third-highest-grossing film of any genre domestically in 2025.
Superman is also receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews, scoring an impressive 83 percent critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 90 percent audience score.
Mashable's own reviewer sums it up nicely: "In Superman, Gunn has created what may be the single most Silver Age comic book saga ever put to screen."

Stream Superman on HBO Max
As a Warner Bros. Pictures film, it was only a matter of time until Superman made its way to HBO Max — the Warner Bros.-owned streaming service. The movie will officially start streaming on HBO Max on Sept. 19, 2025.
HBO Max will also feature an in-app Superman takeover at the time of launch. You'll see a transformed Daily Planet-style homepage and interactive features like a fan-focused The Fortress of Solitude page with themed curations and hidden portals throughout the homepage that transport you to Lex Luthor’s Pocket Prison.
HBO Max subscriptions start at $9.99 per month, but there are a few different ways to shave a few bucks off your plan. Check out the best HBO Max streaming deals below.
The best HBO Max streaming deals
Best for most people: Save 16% on HBO Max Basic annual subscription
Opens in a new window
If you choose an annual plan and pay upfront for a year of HBO Max, you can save about 16% compared to a monthly plan. The Basic plan with ads typically goes for $9.99 per month, but if you go annual, that cost drops to about $8.33 per month — a yearly total of just $99.99. We think this is the best HBO Max streaming deal for most people.
Best HBO Max deal with no ads: Save up to 16% on a Max Standard annual subscription
Opens in a new window
For those who prefer an ad-free experience, you can sign up for either the annual HBO Max Standard or Premium plan and save about 16%. The Standard tier costs either $16.99 per month or $169.99 per year (about $14.16 per month), while the Premium tier costs either $20.99 per month or $209.99 per year (about $17.50 per month). While both tiers offer ad-free viewing, the Premium tier goes a step further with 4K Ultra HD video quality, Dolby Atmos immersive audio, and the ability to download more offline content.

A DashPass membership gets you $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible DoorDash orders all year long, plus free streaming (with ads) through HBO Max. You'll just have to activate your HBO Max Basic subscription through your DoorDash account to get started. If you'd rather watch ad-free, you can upgrade for a discounted rate.

Best bundle deal: Get HBO Max, Disney+, and Hulu for up to 38% off
Opens in a new window
Check out the Disney+ bundle deal if you want the most bang for your buck. It includes Disney+, Hulu, and HBO Max for only $16.99 per month with ads. That lineup of streamers would usually cost you $25.97 per month, so you'll keep an extra $9 in your pocket monthly.
The ad-free bundle will run you $29.99 per month as opposed to $48.97. That's up to 38% in savings for access to all three streaming libraries — arguably the best streaming deal around.
UPDATE: Sep. 16, 2025, 7:00 p.m. EDT This article has been updated to include the latest streaming information and pricing details available for Superman.
For years, Elon Musk has talked about colonizing Mars. Now, he's talking about building Looney Tunes contraptions on the moon instead.
The New York Times reported that Musk told employees at xAI on Tuesday evening that he wants to build a factory on the moon to construct AI data center satellites. Not only that, but Musk wants the factory to include some type of gigantic space catapult, called a mass driver, that would then launch the satellites into space, purportedly for the sake of powering xAI's artificial intelligence network.
"You have to go to the moon," Musk reportedly told employees, per the Times.
In case you're wondering why this plan involves xAI and not just SpaceX, it's because the two just recently merged at the corporate level. Musk said that the merger was necessary to help xAI build AI data centers in orbit around the Earth.
While these plans sound like something straight out of science fiction, Musk does have an impressive track record with SpaceX, which has accomplished many engineering firsts.
Of course, Musk did not elaborate on how, exactly, this facility would be built, or on what sort of timeline it would come together. Musk has spent decades talking up the notion of using SpaceX to colonize Mars, but he recently pivoted to the moon instead. Musk often talks about the importance of making the human race interplanetary.
As Mashable has reported previously, Musk has a history of making bold announcements that don't come to fruition.
