That's faulty logic breh..Die Another Day made more than Casino Royale but which one do you feel like resonated more with people and which one was the cause for a complete palate cleanse of a franchise?

Hell yeah, going to the movies was hella cheaper back then so comparing the box office is useless.
And they also had zero competition for their dollars. Tv was complete ass and the internet didnt exist. People also had more money available to them as the cost of living was WAY lower.
Sorry but I cant take you seriously if you think superman 3&4 were bigger than man of steel because of inflation.
Next you gonna tell me howard the duck was bigger than furious 7.

No more ppl want to see superhero movies in general with superman just being one of many. Don't know why you are getting emotional, are we not just discussing?
you mean inflation
that's what called taking a phase of action. Probably led by the fact the first real superman movie in 30+ years spearheaded by the ever so overrated Christopher Nolan didn't do the billion worldwide they hoped
36 million doesnt = 668 million because of inflation. Sorry.No more ppl want to see superhero movies in general with superman just being one of many. Don't know why you are getting emotional, are we not just discussing?

Movie releases are more worldwide now more people have an opportunity to see them in theaters many more countries. That works in favor of Man of Steel's #s.And they also had zero competition for their dollars. Tv was complete ass and the internet didnt exist. People also had more money available to them as the cost of living was WAY lower.

It's obvious the studio is marginalizing him in favor of Batman, that would never have happened in the 80s.
Except you know in 1989 when Batman was released and made 411 million more than any supes film
How old are? Im geniunely curious. Because in the 80s and 90s and 200s superman was
That was the rise of darker comics and anti heros. People were sick of superman and his boy scout behavior. In film nobody was interested in him anymore. Thats why 3&4 flopped.Man of steel was made for people that were sick of boy scout supes. And it worked. It was polarizing because it alienated the 13 donner supes fans left and was a new take on the character.

I don't know where that 36mill came from but if superman 1 was released today it would have made 485,307,701 and II would have made 309,657,502 domestically, how much did man if steel do in NA 294,662,789? Kind of throws your statement he's more bigger now than ever out of the water don't it
bu bu but I thought he was the most iconic superhero ever. We are currently in the superhero movie boom, they basically begged Nolan off the heels of his last 2 flicks doing a billion worldwide to come in and produce a team and you think the goal wasn't to top avengers? KAnd you knew WB internal projections
36 million is super man 4s box office
80 million is superman 3s box office.
Inflation doesnt account for any other social and economic factors,its flawed and not accurate. Its like saying gone with the wind is the biggest film of all time with a straight face. And why are you only listing domestic gross. Oh you want to give superman 1&2 all the benefit of adjusting inflation but dont want to include mos foreign gross because itd be higher than superman 1&2s worlwide grosses adjusted to inflation. You aint slick
And Nolan approached THEM about doing man of steel,they didnt beg him for anything
their goal is to make money. You think they expected to top avengers when superman returns only made 391 million? 
Iconic does not equate to popularity across all mediums. Mario bros is the most iconic video game series of all time, howd that film turn out box office wise.

why are you changing the direction of the conversation into irrelevant statistics no one requested? Those were bad movies at the time that no one cared for then and today, I mentioned the 2 real superman movies everyone remembers and produced the adjusted box office if they were released today and they would have made more than man of steel who you say is more bigger now than ever before
you mean the Nolan that wanted no part of doing a TDKR because he was done with the whole concept and guilty over ledger's death that guy went to WB saying let me produce your superman movie? Ok
yeah I am sure all the producers and studio execs greenlit the project with the thought in mind let's go small after all look what superman returns did
has there ever been a video game movie boom? If the answer is no then what the fuk are you talking about? Oh more irrelevant examples to anchor another weak point

Superman 4 flopped so THEN they moved on to Bats.
In the 80s I 6-16 years old, superheroes was a huge interest for me. Superman was HUGE in the 80s. 90s and 2000s he was not you are correct.

The interesting thing is that car is an Infiniti G35 coup (either from 2003 to 2007)
For Joker to be driving that car.....unfortunately I think Batman's scenes are only flashbacks and I guess he did retire for a bit before BvS.

Uh, The Force Awaken trailer didn't do 50 million views in its first week. It's still in the 50's over a month later.

Check out these lying ass nikkas. The OFFICIAL Force Awakens trailer is at 56 million views and it was released on April 16th. That article said it had 58 million in the first week
And before anyone say "well, maybe he meant combined views from all sites" that wouldn't make sense as his comparison is taken from WB's official trailer release with nothing else added to it.
