Yeah, I don't get the "bad start" narrative, quite frankly Warner Bros should count themselves lucky after they've spent the past 10 years dragging DC's name through the dirt, releasing a bunch of shitty films and box office flops, it's a credit to James Gunn that he has came out the gate strong despite all of this and this is only the start of repairing DC's image.
WB will be happy, hence why they're already rushing Gunn through what is next, the dude is an absolute machine, Lol. As long as something is profitable it's all good, but what we should care most about is the actual quality and there seems to be a bit of an obsession with Superman's box office performance and trying to spin it as a bad thing against the film when in actual fact it did well both commercially and critically and by comparison Suicide Squad made $749m at the box office but it was dog shit, Lol.
