Superman & Lois Proved The DCEU Was Right About 1 Major Hero Choice
Superman & Lois has featured a unique iteration of the DC Universe hero, and the series" success has validated one of the major choices that was made in the now-defunct DCEU. While the DCEU franchise had many movies, the series was a mixed bag of failures and successes. Following the colossal box office failures of films like Shazam: Fury of the Gods and The Flash, the universe has now collapsed, and audiences eagerly anticipate a reboot with James Gunn"s Superman releasing in July 2025.
The DCEU was essentially built with the films of Zack Snyder, and this was a controversial choice. While Snyder has been a popular filmmaker with a unique visual style, his films have always been darker and more vicious than what is generally expected from superhero cinema. While many enjoyed his now three-year-old Zack Snyder"s Justice League, the real legacy of the DCEU is in some of its more unique choices, which have recently been reflected in the series Superman & Lois.

However, by aging Superman, and putting much of his crime-fighting career behind him, there is more of a character there for audiences to connect with. Rather than being plagued by the conflict of his double life, this older hero is established in both his personas, allowing for a more fleshed-out character to exist.
