The movie's plot revolves around Superman facing challenges both at home and abroad, with his actions being questioned. The film has received positive reviews and is performing well at the box office, with an estimated opening weekend revenue of $115-150 million.

Superman has been praised by critics, with an 82% score on Rotten Tomatoes based on 340 reviews. It is expected to be available for streaming on HBO Max around September or October 2025, following its theatrical release in July.

Before arriving on HBO Max, the film will be available for purchase or rent on digital VOD platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. The exact timing of its digital release will depend on its performance in theaters.

The standard 45-day window after the theatrical release suggests that Superman could be available for home viewing as early as August 25. Keep an eye out for updates on when the film will be accessible on HBO Max and digital platforms.
