James previously described Superman as the hardest movie he had ever made.

"This was the hardest movie I’ve ever made," the filmmaker said on the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast. "The next hardest was probably the first Guardians. With Guardians, you were building a corner of the universe that felt completely different from everything else Marvel was doing at the time."

"Here, I was reorienting something everyone already thinks they understand. Strangely, it’s the most comic-book-driven thing I’ve ever done. More than any of my other superhero films," he continued.

"Everyone in the world thinks something different about Superman. Everybody knows who he is," added James. "There were all the eyes on us — on DC, on the DCU, on everything. That pressure was real.
