The $225 million-budgeted tentpole has the lofty ambition of relaunching the DC Universe after the last iteration of the comic book universe had flamed out with a string of costly bombs, including “The Flash,” “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom,” “Shazam: Fury of the Gods” and “Blue Beetle.”

WBD and DC Studios launch their newest attempt at a shared superhero cinematic world, as "Superman" makes its increasingly strong play for summer season box office crown.

Will DC's highly anticipated relaunch fly with Oscar voters? These are the categories where it will be most competitive.
