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.
I've always said I'm not sure how a 13 y/o sits down with the Nolan trilogy and enjoys it.

Yes they do. We already know who batman is and his origin. We don't need to see again

Yea, we don't need another origin story. These ain't B tier comics like the Avengers were at the time. Batman and Superman are iconic enough where people who don't read comics know the back story. They could do an Incredible Hulk intro and get right into it. A lot of people want DC to follow Marvels script but I don't think they have the time to. I know I'm not watching 5 or 6 movies for a Justice League movie. I already got superhero fatigue as it is and I haven't been to see a superhero movie at theaters in a couple of years.

interesting article from latino review. my bad if its already been posted.

The LR Scoop On The Apparent Turmoil At DC FILMS Over BATMAN V SUPERMAN

Don't really see anything that will be polarizing in this film. MOS already covered those areas lol, unless Batman straight up murders somebody, Supes kills again or WW goes Xena on everyone, I doubt anything in this film will polarize the audience. Like I said before they're probably worried about the tone, which I don't mind. I need a break from the jokey CBM

One movie can't be judged. If by any chance Batman vs Superman and Suicide Squad flops and or bad movies, then you have a point. If they do succeed by quality and financially, the Marvel will have competition.

Remember, the same situation happened back in the animated DVD back in the mid 00s. Marvel got the Ultimate Avengers on deck, but DC came through later and kicked them out on what they started.

I can see it happening to Marvel in a lesser extent when DC gets their foot in the game.

So this movie has been finished since December 2014 but WB is just now worried when the film screens in about 4-5 weeks, yeah makes total sense :stopitslime:
hollywood cares more about screen testers than fukking restaurants breh


you know how many movies have been scrapped or changed completely at the last moment based on a few testers voting the wrong way

People have to stop overreacting it's Superman........AND Batman.........AND Wonder Woman.......AND even Aquaman is supposed to appear in this as well:damn::damn:. Superman did 600mill by himself while getting mixed reviews people are crazy if this doesn't challenge The Avengers movies in sales.
and did they rush to make superman 2.... nah


y'all have to understand that movie companies aren't very bright... they go off what fans say and what people say... even over money... which is stupid to us, but somehow smart to them

This movie will not flop, but honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it's not a giant blockbuster like some of the top Marvel movies. I think it'll probably do more along the lines of the last two Superman movies. Successful but considered a slight disappointment. Hope I'm wrong though.

and that's what they fear... that's their direct comp


they are putting the two biggest comic book heros worldwide in the same fukking movie together


if they can't outdo marvel's b and c list avengers movies, what is that going to say about what's coming next... the top 2 can't outdo marvel's bottom 8, and y'all think that's a good look for them?


yes... as the article said... they will keep churning out the movies... but then what will wonder woman do if bvs does 600-700 mill? 200-400? then lets say suicide squad flops... uh oh.. now you getting into trouble... cause your LOGO starts to be equal to "second rate comic film" while you got d list deadpool breaking matrix numbers and shyt with the marvel stamp

If Suicide Squad flops, say bye bye to Will Smith's career.

For the same of him and Margot Robbie, it better do well. Most likely it will due to the fact that the acting is superb and buzz is already crazy for this film.

i don't think any of these movies will "flop"

flop would mean breaking dead even or doing less than.... with international sales and dvd/bluray sales... hardly any movie really flops


but what wb/dc wants is what marvel has. they want to be able to drop the shyttiest of characters, that nobody cares about, and still come out doing 500 mil when it's said and done

then when they put the A listers together, do a billy or damn near that



what they definitely do not want... is their top tier characters doing 600 mil.... cause where do you go up from there? lets say bvs gets terrible reviews and fans hate it/are disappointed and it does 700 mil.. well what's the next step.. you already used up BOTH your most popular characters and didn't even crack a billion.. what you think you gonna drop 2-3 more lower movies and then put it all together and reach that??



and this isn't in some bubble... nah.... while you're doing your subpar numbers... your direct rival is out here breaking record upon record... and about to unleash civil war and infinity war 1 & 2, right along side whatever else you got coming



that's what these execs are worried about.... i don't think anyone is scared they will flop and do 200 mil or something.... they are afraid by this time next year... the fans will be :scust: whenever they see a DC logo at the beginning of a trailor... remember this is supposed to match marvel's 10-15-20 year movie plan


this is why stan lee said dc had a lot of catching up to do and dc tried to skip the damn near 10 years of work being laid down for Infinity War
