But he\u2019s an independent guy our Clark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The exchange began when a fan noted that Hawkgirl claimed Superman was not on the team because Guy Gardner did not want him to have a vote. The user asked Gunn if it would be \u201cout of character\u201d for Superman to join such a group. Gunn suggested the corporate backing of the Justice Gang could affect Superman\u2019s willingness to officially align with them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Another user pointed out that Superman effectively functions as part of the team even without membership. He fights alongside them, shares his identity, and receives their help. Gunn acknowledged this but emphasized Superman\u2019s independence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In a separate conversation on Threads, Gunn dismissed claims that\u00a0Superman\u00a0needed to earn $650 million at the box office to be considered a success.

Anyone saying that doesn\u2019t have an understanding of the film business \u2013 and we would be idiots to make a first-in-a-franchise film that would need to make that much to be profitable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Earlier reports suggested $500 million was the threshold for Warner Bros.
