Superman has a big history in superhero world since 1948 when
first Super man movie was released for audience. It has been influential for decades.Three years later DC released black and white movie Superman and Mole man based on Man of Steel genre just to examine the influential strength of Superman series that is for seasons.
DC is growing day by day and keeping in view its growth it may let Kal-El to quit the supporting role despite being famous character.
As compare to previous versions Today's Superman is full of character and loosing its originality.
It is true that disputes are integral part of any great movie included every film, but Superman movies have many conflicts like display of Super powers in weird manner. Internal disputes are the difference between ordinary movie and super hit movie.
As far as Kal-El is concerned his biggest weakness is his perfection not Kryptonite. He is very struggling that he pays good right to every given character whatever the plot is, he always connects audience with character.
Man of Steel tried to make version of him but in the end Superman was needlessly emo and brooding. Anyhow Darker version of hero put itself in difficulty to concise it in two hour's movie.
Marvel learnt valuable lesson faster than DC, it happens sometime that your main character may not get famous and successful all the times. Then you must have to put something ordinary in that place to see the experimental results.
In Marvel case it was Hulk it did not give the best results in two movies. They thought it must be supporting role for the big guy and results tremendously were in a same way that they were expecting.
The same case is with Superman and there is similar burden on it.
The real threat to Superman is to be a protagonist and without this threat there is no way to have real story. In fact there is not a story.
The days of the solo superhero flicks are seemingly
numbered. Even the titular A-list heroes like Captain America aren't alone in their respective franchises once you get past the origin film, and even then they may have super-pals tagging along (case in point: Deadpool had Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Colossus). Considering the source material itself is ripe with cameos from other hero types, it makes sense that the films would follow suit.
The first sign that Supes may be regulated to costar status was the news that Man of Steel 2 was on "permanent hold" (a more recent, officially unconfirmed rumor claims the movie is back on). Next was the rumor that the studio was so happy with Affleck's Batman that they requested his part be increased in Batman v Superman. Following the film's release and critical response, WB announced it was making changes to its film slate. Noticeably absent: another standalone Superman movie. From the looks of it, DC may be choosing to let Superman lead the Justice Leaguein lieu of helming a solo film anytime soon.
The decisions studios make will always come down to money—specifically, how to make as much of it as possible. And DC's Holy Trinity—Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman—are arguably three of the most famous superheroes in the world: Batman and Superman are so popular that DC has relied heavily on the two of them since day one. Of the 30 movies based on DC characters that have been made since 1951, only 11 haven't Superman or Batman. Of those 11, guess how many did well at the box office?
However, even when it comes to their two top dogs, DC has really only had one character who's consistently generated loads of cash at theaters and overall merchandising, and that honor goes to Batman. Two of The Caped Crusader's movies (The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises) made over one billion dollars each worldwide, making the films some of the most successful in Warner Bros.' history. By comparison, every Superman movie since 1978 has made a combined gross of $2,389,808,930, and that includes Batman v Superman. The Batman franchise is thefourth most successful franchise in film, behind Star Wars, James Bond, and the entire MCU and ahead of Harry Potter. Superman is in 13th place.
All that being said, there's always a powerful bond between a studio and its proven brands, and even if he hasn't been as consistently super at the box office as some of his peers, few franchises are as time-tested—or instantly recognizable—as Superman. There are plenty of solid reasons not to make a standalone sequel to Man of Steel, but according to our current Lois Lane, Amy Adams, the studio's still "working on a script," so you never know what might happen. He made it from Krypton to Earth as a baby without needing his diaper changed, so you never know: maybe he'll end up flying in another solo adventure after all. Stranger things have definitely happened.
