Overview

  • The mid-credits scene shows Superman and his superdog Krypto sitting on the moon as they gaze at Earth in a tranquil, character-driven moment.
  • In the post-credits gag, Superman points out a crack in a repaired Metropolis building, prompting Mister Terrific to storm off in comic frustration.
  • Gunn has said he deliberately avoided setting up future DCU storylines in these scenes, framing them instead as a thank-you to audiences.
  • A surprise cameo by Milly Alcock’s Supergirl at the film’s end teases her upcoming standalone movie without revealing narrative details.
  • Contrary to pre-release rumors, no hints of Brainiac or other major villains appear in any of the credit sequences.
