I like how actual extras are used in the funeral scene. Feels like some classic pre cgi Hollywood ish.

They had Cavill I’ll signed to three movies at least they could have fit MOS2 and JL under that.

If the movie made a billion like Aquaman they would have given him free reign like Wan and Jenkins got. Instead it was foot on neck season.

Suicide Squad flopped with great reviews for Gunn but Peacemaker is a hit with talk of season 2 and another spinoff series.

That’s what success looks like.

Because of JL and BVS debacle they had no idea what direction to take Superman in

The movie was a commercial success

Man of Steel sucked. End of story.

I didnt want to hate but 1.5B without China during a pandemic is really making other movies look bad ouchea. Thats a high ass bar....putting just a bit of pressure on DS2 and BP2.

Doc Strange probably isn't hitting those numbers so I don't even see that as pressure. Strange isn't spider-man, regardless of the Marvel's overall popularity.

Strange isnt touching Spiderman no how no way....... but to guarantee a quick Strange 3 which we want.....which we need.......I feel the bar has been raised a bit now. Its going to have to do a Billion....which it will.....Fingers crossed.

If they had faith in Superman as a character after Man of Steel they wouldn't have let Snyder kill him in BvS. Like you said, they were building a universe to try to compete with Marvel so they would want their prime time players front and center. They sacrificed Superman's potential for a universe because they didn't think he had much after his decisive solo movie.

Well, 'killing him' was a cheap move to garner sympathy since everyone knew he would rise from the dead in JL to be fair.
Some people love MoS, some think it's OK (me) and other people think it's trash. It was a divisive movie. And really they didn't do more with him because Cavill was trying to get paid after MoS & BvS to reprise the role. So there are outside factors why he didn't get that much burn as well.

Im getting Nolan vibes, not sure if that is a good thing.

All the aesthetics and brooding Dark vibes are whatever but I think this will have an interesting and new Batman story/theme we haven't seen on the big screen. That's what I am looking forward to.
