An early "Superman" teaser shot was mocked online for its depiction of the hero's flight. James Gunn said the shot "kind of got by" him.

Opinion is sharply divided as to how high the superhero pic can fly when it hits theaters, with some suggesting a much lower range of $90 million to $120 million.

DC Studios co-head and "Superman" writer/director James Gunn has finally responded to online controversy over a shot from the very first teaser for the film. Gunn says the shot in question didn't have finished visual effects and was one he had taken out of the movie.
