I was able to catch the film a couple days early thanks to a partnership between Amazon Prime and Fandango

You can read my review of James Gunn’s first DCU film right here

Admittedly, I was not particularly impressed by Superman

It felt strangely generic for a movie that needed to be a soaring triumph

It also felt too much Gunn’s other superhero movies, but with less heart and fewer memorable characters

I maintain that Gunn would be the perfect director for a Justice Gang movie where his sense of humor and quirky direction would shine – but someone else should have taken the director’s chair for Superman

In any case, the question you’re here for today is whether or not the movie has end-credits scenes

There’s one brief mid-credits scene and one slightly longer post-credits scene

Before I explain what happens in them, let me answer your next question: Are they worth sticking around for

Okay, that’s actually difficult to answer

If you loved the movie, by all means stick around

The mid-credits scene is very adorable and the post-credits scene is funny

If you didn’t love the movie, there’s nothing in either scene that sets up a future movie

The scene that does that takes place at the end of the movie just before the credits

Okay, onto spoiler territory

The mid-credits scene is more of a moment

You may have seen this picture already:Superman and KryptoCredit: Warner Bros MORE FOR YOU Well, this is the mid-credits scene except instead of sitting next to each other on the moon, Krypto is giving Superman a big hug

It’s, as I said, adorable

It also makes me wish this entire movie had actually been Superman & Krypto, a story a man trying to get his dog back without all the other overstuffed plot mechanics

The post-credits scene (spoilers again) takes place in Metropolis after the cataclysmic events partly destroy the city

Superman is standing next to Mister Terrific looking at building that still has a crack running through it, and Superman makes a joke how it’s not quite perfect

Mister Terrific, who is not a humorous man but is very funny because of it, gets very huffy over Superman’s jibes and storms off

It’s a bit longer than the mid-credits scene, but that’s all it is

I think the Supergirl cameo would have fit better here

And that’s all you need to know the end-credits scenes in Superman

I hope you enjoy the movie more than I did
