["Jeroen T. Vermeulen" <jtv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, in this case, it gets even easier!  There's no need to run an external command.  You can call a management command in-process:

from django.core.management import call_command

...

    call_command(
        'createsuperuser', username=ADMIN_USER, email='example@xxxxxxxxxxxxx',
        noinput=True)

And then you can just trust that that has created the superuser you wanted.  No need to catch exceptions or use get_or_create.  If the superuser hasn't been created, you're more likely to want to know about it than to want to proceed oblivious.  (Or if you're guarding against some specific known problem, document it in the code!)
