A few members of the press, influencers, and a few die-hard DC fans (one even turned up in a cape) were invited to see james Gunn's reboot of Superman at the first showing yesterday.  If not from this preview screening, then from the amazon Prime ones that occur a few days prior to Superman's July 11 release in theaters, spoilers for the film were bound to surface online.  Heck, test screenings have already made the most of the narrative available online. 

Details of Superman's post-credits scenes were recently revealed by @MyTimeToShineH, and it appears that Gunn wasn't joking when he stated that they wouldn't necessarily be utilized to build up the DCU's future—even with Supergirl and Lanterns coming our way next year. 

"Superman has two post credits scenes, one is Superman with Krypto on the moon looking at the Earth," the insider says of a sequence featured in a recent tv spot. "The second is Superman and mister Terrific looking at a giant crack in a massive building because the ground split in half during the finale and Supes says it’s crooked and Terrific gets all annoyed and walks away and kicks a rock. It's a funny scene."

Are they worth the wait?  If we're being honest, probably not.  That second stinger is provided without context, though, and is likely a payoff to a major scene early in the movie.  Nevertheless, these are probably going to be viewed as a letdown by fans—and casual moviegoers—who are used to post-credits scenes there especially to hint at the future.
 
Gunn has consistently stated that he is not seeking to turn every DC Studios picture into an advertisement for whatever comes next, and he has reaffirmed that his next DCU film will not be a Superman sequel.

Rather, these films and television programs are designed to be both self-contained and to contribute to a larger story, mostly through the use of characters that will organically appear in this environment.  Guy Gardner, for instance, will be introduced to us in Superman before Peacemaker gives us a glimpse of his role in the "Justice Gang."  He will then join john Stewart and Hal jordan in Lanterns.
 
 It's a different way of creating a shared world, but Gunn doesn't seem to be aiming to be the MCU 2.0 and appears to be secure in his concept.
