Report: DC Cinematic Universe may be in trouble

[Brandeezy]

Dude who actually knows cats at WB said that they're not worried about the film's quality but rather how it'll be received by the general audience who are use to the Marvel flicks since this is a different tone. So basically they think its too deep for an comic book movie. Which explains this Rumor Patrol: ‘Justice League’ Movie Script ‘Too Complicated’ for Average Moviegoers

too deep for comicbook movie. ..these dudes really think high of themselves with these superheroes

 

[Ain't That Something]

I don't know how people are comparing Cap America to Superman. Captain America is an underdog story at its core. Superman is a literal Alien with God like powers. Which character you think is going to be more relatable to the public

I always felt that leading with the Justice League movie was the wrong move

Now if it's terrible nobody will want to see the soli movies

Atleast if they did the solo movies first and built hype people would overlook the JL movie being mediocre the same way people overlook those 2 mediocre Avengers movies

They actually have a point. Whether the complex story is executed properly is another discussion.


But to be concerned because they decided to make the story a little more complex and edgy compared to the watered down Disney trash that marvel is pumping is completely valid.

Remember when RDJ was shytting on The Dark Knight because of the complex story? Marvel wasn't as prevalent as they are now.

If it doesn't connect with the audience it wasn't executed properly. The End. Has nothing to do with what Marvel did prior.

What are you talking about, what JL movie? But yeah put out solo movies first so everybody and their mama can say "DC is copying Marvel hahaha" in every conversation? Naw

You fukking idiots wanted another Batman origin film?

fukk outta here with that shyt. These origins can be touched on in flashbacks but they do not need to be full length feature films. Everyone knows the story.

Not sure why people are saying this movie won't "flop"

A "flop" isn't just based around what it cost to make + what it cost to market compared to what it makes...but also what the studio projects it to make...

If it cost a total of 300 million and they make 800 million and they roughly keep half of that for 400 million...but they projected the movie to make a billion...the studio is going to consider that a flop...200 million less than what they expected..

Their entire upcoming DC movie franchise is riding on this one film...if it doesn't make what the studio thinks it should then everything outside of Ben's batman movies could be up in the air...

And that is probably the most critical part of the movie...are people going to watch this and just view it as a single batman superman movie...or are they going to watch it and then be interested in watching the rest of the DC Universe? Because it's not about getting people to see this one movie...it's about getting them to see the 8 movies behind it...

Personally I've got some serious trepidation about what they are trying to pull off...they felt they needed to add batman to a superman movie, so it doesn't seem like the studio thinks superman is a strong enough character to stand on his own...or did they feel they needed to add superman to a batman movie...because they don't feel like batman can stand on his own?

Now they stuck trying to tell a superman story...a batman origin story...a wonder woman origin story...all in the same movie...and this has to at least start leading to the formation of the Justice League...that is a lot of shyt to try and do in at most 2 and a half hours...

It is head scratching to me that they continued on with this and are releasing this first over at least one Batman reboot movie just for logic's sake...to me the batman movie is already screwed logically...it is going to be hard to show batman struggling with a real villain in his own stand alone movie when he has already gone toe to toe with at least superman and doomsday...unless it's some sort of physiological battle and while I am not the biggest Nolan fan he hit all 3 of those out of the park with Scarecrow, Joker, and Bane...gonna be nigh impossible to top that...

Also that 300 million i estimated is probably very conservative...I'd be shocked if 300 million covered the marketing cost...

But then again they dropped the ball on the Nightwing movies after Nolan tossed them a layup so...

Excellent breakdown. Yeah I was also a little confused why they chose to do this before a Batman stand alone. At first I thought it was because it would be so fresh on the heels of Nolan's Batman trilogy. But yeah after this movie, Batman going back to more typical villains may seem weird. But I think Batman looks like the best part of the movie, so I'll be checking their Batman stuff down the line no matter what.

They're not.

I will be extremely disappointed if this is an awful movie.

Man of Steel was looking like an epic movie in the trailers and marketing but ultimately it disappointed.

The marketing for this movie isn't nearly as good as MoS, but there is so much material to work with they really have to be dumbasses to fukk this up.

I can't for the life me understand why WBs just won't look at the DC animated shows/movies and use that as a template. Those animated shows are so good.

that first teaser alluding to an arthouse superman

"you're gonna have to make a choice..."

I use to work for the company and the film department hasn't had a major hit in a while, I wouldn't be surprised if Time Warner gets sold in the next couple of years.

Why would it get sold?

 

[ltheghost]

There is no way this flops. Just off the name alone the numbers should be good enough for a sequel. But damn they are getting shook already? WTF
