Supergirl’s disappointing opening weekend at the box office and its unfortunate drop-off obviously weren’t the most celebratory outcomes for DC Studios’ second movie. A stumbling block like that isn’t going to send James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU toppling down, though, especially not with Man of Tomorrow set to release in 2027. So let’s forget about all that so I can address why I absolutely need Clayface to crush when it hits theaters this year.
Just like Gotham City’s dark and danger-filled streets stand apart from all the sunlit worlds that Kara and Ruthye went to, my hopes and dreams for James Watkins’ body horror are only tangentially related to Supergirl’s financial situation. I’m already thinking about what the future will hold, and how much attention Warner Bros. will be eager to invest in it all.
