Thirty films deep, the Superman catalog splits into three tiers. The 1978 original (7.2) and Superman II (6.8) set the standard before the theatrical run collapsed into Superman IV (4.6). The modern live-action era hovers in the low 6s, from Man of Steel to Justice League. The quiet winners are the animated features: The Death of Superman leads the whole table at 7.5, with Superman/Batman: Apocalypse, Red Son and Man of Tomorrow all above 7.
Start with the 1978 film for the myth, then skip ahead to the animated line for the best-rated storytelling. One telling detail: Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut (7.4) outrates the 1980 theatrical version by a wide margin. In games Superman barely exists, appearing mostly as a cameo in LEGO titles and MultiVersus, and Superman Returns: The Videogame (5.2) explains why nobody asks for more.
The Superman franchise spans 1 games, 30 movies in the CrossBinge catalog.
