Can DC movies survive Superman vs Batman Underperforming?

[Lakers Offseason]

I will be watching, but this no comic relief idea they're going on is a bit misguided. Them making their movies more "serious" alienates the casual fan who just want to go see a movie to have a good time as well as the younger audience who may not like serious movies. I can understand they want to differentiate themselves from Marvel, but they're completely missing the point as to why those Marvel movies are successful.

Question: Is this what some of you want to happen? Do you want the movie to fail or what?

There's a certain group of fan boys who hate everything DC and Fox related

It might get ugly in here in 2016. And the Film Room will really look like The Arcadium

Which is going to suck. That place is damn near unlivable. We actually have thoughtful discussion here lol

What do you have higher expectations for.

BVS or Civil War?

Why?

I feel like Civil War will more than likely be better BvS.

Thor flicks were wack, I really don't care much for that Character at all.

he's better on pages and in animation the movie version has been made too weak

Say what you want about the quality of recent DC films, but I actually really like that they don't have an abundance of comic relief. They seem to have a serious tone (at least the Batman films did, and MoS towards the end) so I'm expecting the same from Batman vs. Superman. No way will it flop

Avengers, Thor 2 and The Amazing Spiderman (1&2) are all wack as fukk tbh. They have no replay value whatsoever. Age of Ultron looks better though and I have high hopes for all the future Marvel movies.

When Guardians of The Galaxy 2 drops, it's going to dwarf everything.

I personally like the darker tone instead of Marvels casual approach. Mostly because Marvel tends to add some corny ass dialogue/scenes in their movies. Iron Man 3, Thor 2 and Avengers all come to mind.

DC doesn't necessarily execute the dark tones effectively but I appreciate their effort. Like, The Green Lantern seemed to try and mix the dark tone with the more lighthearted/comedy stuff and it failed horribly.

I wasn't even expecting to like it. I didn't even see it in theatres. My homegirl put me on when I came over. She asked if we wanted to watch it and I was like that shyt looked weak....nobody wants to watch that...

By the end I was like .

It was one of the best movies i've seen in a long long time. i regret not seeing it in theaters.

I agree I get real tired have how modern day moviegoers want everything to make them laugh some stories should just do what needs doing. However there is nothing about superman that indicates it should be serious and broody flick, it was a cheap tactic to try an imitate DC's most successful franchise style and I don't think it worked


Ps nolan's batman had jokes it just wasn't slapstick or cheesy
