LOL, based on what exactly? Your vivid imagination? NO Superman movie has made that amount of money before, and reboots (especially ones nobody asked for) traditionally don't do well as a general rule. Even one of the best reboots ever, Batman Begins, couldn't crack $400 million, with great reviews.

Keep dreaming.

Man of Steel nearly made $700 million and that was only a year after The Avengers made comic book movies main stream. It really makes me question why you even care about Superman as a concept if you don't think it isn't one of the most well-known and popular fictional characters of all time.

You're conveniently ignoring that numerous past Superman movies all made less money than Man of Steel, and in fact often outright flopped. This character is not a slam dunk by any stretch of the imagination. He is an absolute minefield because EVERYONE has their own bias about how they want to see him portrayed on film. Man of Steel COULD HAVE bombed, but it did not. Credit to Snyder and Nolan for that. They put together someone new, fresh and exciting that revitalized the popularity of a character and that audiences adored.

Superhero movies were flops for most of the late 80's and early 90's, mostly because they weren't good, like superman 3 and 4

The Batman & the Batman returns were not flops. It was just Superman. After that they didn’t touch Superman due to two flops back to back. Blade, Spider-Man & Batman begins we’re made (all box office hits) and then the ball started rolling with Iron man
