You should use the method decorator for your superuser check, just as you do for login required.

Since a user must be logged in to be a superuser, you can remove the login_required decorator in this case. 

superuser_required = user_passes_test(lambda u: u.is_superuser)

@method_decorator(superuser_required, name='dispatch')
class UpdateAdminView(TemplateView):
    template_name = "admin.html"

You may want to look at UserPassesTestMixin as an alternative for class based views.
