Summary
Did Netflix just accidentally confirm that Superman underperformed at the box office? 🤯 On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down comments from the Netflix CEO that have fans questioning whether SUPERMAN's early digital release was driven by disappointing performance — and what that could mean for DC Studios moving forward.
We also dive into a surprising shake-up behind the scenes of SUPERGIRL, as the film reportedly replaces composer Ramin Djawadi with a longtime Zack Snyder collaborator, sparking debate about tone, continuity, and the future sound of the DCU.
On the Marvel side, Chris Hemsworth is pitching a massive Thor and Storm team-up for AVENGERS: SECRET WARS, and fans are already losing their minds over the potential crossover. Plus, WONDER MAN may be closer than ever to getting a Season 2, with reports saying Marvel Studios is "very close" to giving it the green light.
And with the Super Bowl approaching, we discuss DC Studios' reported plans for SUPERGIRL — and why they continue a troubling trend that started with SUPERMAN.
A packed episode full of big swings, big rumors, and even bigger questions about the future of DC and Marvel.
