1. WB aka James Gunn and Zaslav thought people would forget about Ezra's foolishness. But nope. They stayed home because of him.

2. Even if he wasn't a lunatic, Ezra just isn't a big box office draw. And never has been.

3. Keaton hasn't been Batman in 30 years.

4. No one cares about Supergirl.

5. The movie itself is mediocre.

So if they had focused on Ben Affleck as Batman, brought in Cavill as Superman, possibly Grant Gustin as the Flash, and possibly Aquaman the movie would have done 90-100 Million for its opening weekend.

Instead of 55 Million :scust:

Nah, this movie was going to tank regardless. Doing all that would've just increased the budget. There's no reason for anyone outside of DC loyalists to be invested in a story that's not going anywhere. The casual audience checked out a long time ago.

If Blue Beetle flops and Aquaman doesn't do big numbers they might as well just stick to Batman for a while to get away from the stench of the DCEU.

I'm pretty sure it's because of Ezra's crazy shyt and that they publicly said that Gunn is going to reboot the universe, and that killed any momentum for the DC Snyderverse movies afterwards

Star power doesn't matter with superhero movies. People go for the characters. Now if the actor has been in a lot of negative press that could negatively affect the box office.

I LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX!
This thread became toxic and got overrun and ruined by the Marvel fans coming in, celebrating, causing arguments, and acting like children but now it seems to have calmed down. I enjoyed the movie, but I guess I'm easier to please. I particularly liked the scene where Flash saw other universes like Christopher Reeve's Superman and Adam West's Batman. Keaton was great as always and I liked the actress who played Supergirl. It's a shame that it flopped, because that put the kibosh on the Batman Beyond movie. As I was telling a Snyder-verse troll, who still believes this cinematic universe can be saved, on social media today; I would’ve loved to have seen what the Snyder verse had to offer in the future, especially when it came to Darkseid (who would’ve made Thanos look like a saint) and the Knightmare universe, but this series has had more misses than hits recently and there’s too much of a mess to be undone. The reboot is for the best and I wish them all the best.

I think you're overstating number one. The average person isn't is as online as us or follows the industry like we do and probably doesn't even know about that shyt.

And people go for the character and not the actor. I guess I thought Flash was a bigger deal.

Most recent example is Tom Holland. No one is seeing his non-Spider-Man movies. Also most people never seen him in anything before he appeared in the MCU
