Amazon’s hit superhero satire, The Boys, appears to be taking direct aim at James Gunn’s Superman marketing in its final season. A newly spotted Homelander poster from Season 5 Episode 6 has fans comparing the two characters online, with many debating whether the parody is clever, hilarious, or a little too accurate.
The Boys’ final season spoofs 2025’s Superman with Homelander poster
A new poster shown in Season 5 of The Boys has quickly gone viral because of how closely it resembles promotional artwork for Superman. The poster shows the milk-obsessed Homelander flying upward with one arm raised, mirroring the heroic pose used in posters featuring David Corenswet’s Superman.
Fans immediately flooded social media with reactions after noticing the similarities. Some joked that “both are the same,” while others compared the personalities of the two characters. One fan wrote, “Superman: Look Up. Homelander: Look Out… he’s behind you.”
Another commented, “Give him a movie, it’d be better than Superman.” Several viewers also pointed out that both characters struggle with approval and emotional instability, though in very different ways.
The parody fits perfectly with the tone of The Boys, which has spent years mocking modern superhero culture, corporate branding, and celebrity obsession. The series first launched in 2019 and became one of Prime Video’s biggest originals thanks to its violent action, political satire, and darker take on superheroes. The show currently holds strong audience scores on sites like IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes, with fans praising its unpredictable storytelling and humor, as well as its over-the-top gore.
The final season continues the growing conflict between Billy Butcher and Homelander as the world edges closer to chaos. Antony Starr’s performance as Homelander remains one of the biggest reasons fans stay invested. His version of a Superman-like figure looks powerful on the outside but hides anger, insecurity, and instability underneath.
The new poster moment may only last a few seconds on screen, but it has already become one of the most talked-about visual jokes from the season. Considering The Boys has never been shy about mocking superhero franchises, fans were not surprised to see the show take another shot at DC’s biggest icon.
