They projected "The correlations aren’t perfect, but as things stand on Monday morning, Batman v Superman‘s soft Friday-to Sunday hold suggests a final domestic box office gross closer to the $409 million earned by Iron Man 3 than the $623 million earned by Marvel’s The Avengers." That surmise a tentpole failure to you? What is considered success then? This is only the second movie in the DCEU. Wait for the final cume. You don't expect DC to be on par with Marvel overnight. The latter took years to build up the hype surrounding Avengers inherently having a marketing advantage.

Nolan again. I'm not about to recycle nor discuss your juvenile nitpickings. :s13:

Got reports say they need $800 million just to break even for this movie, and under $1billion worldwide will be a disappointment.

How come so much? Why did they call it a $250million film then, shouldn't they add all the cost inside. Strange.

I watched, and think the movie was very nice. Much better than avengers in fact. Avengers plot is worse, total mash up with just action and the highly paid actors to justify the movie. Whereas BvS it feels well paced with careful character development. Don't feel childish too. If compare with deadpool I rather watch BvS coz deadpool seemed to be trying too hard with lots of lame scene and the plot is so much worse.

+1 on the sucide squard. Look like a fun and crazy film. But not much scene of the Joker from the trailer. I am very curious on the comparison between the new Joker and the one by Heath Ledger :)

Best way to enjoy is not to compare and just enjoy it on its own :o

Not really a Rumour, has been known for quite some time already. It's based on the death in a family arc, where the joker tortured and killed Jason Todd.

But then he got revived and became the red hood and came back for revenge against joker and batman. Tiagong they're doing the red hood arc in the batman solo film as well. Was even incorporated in the Arkham Knight video game.

Not saying they should just talk for most of the movie. My point is their different ideologies should be the main focus of the movie, and motivation behind their fight. Look at batman begin, where ra's al ghul and bruce wayne talk about their different ideologies in the monastery and the wayne manor. In both scenes they talk and argue until it elevate into an exciting action scene.

The audience finds this movie boring because it has a weak and confusing uninteresting plot, that goes nowhere, and the excessive boring slow-mo scenes.



Well the point is, it has shown that people are find to embrace this movie even though its not a marvel universe movie :o and the reason people dont like batman v superman not because it is not a marvel movie, but because it sucks.

I agree wif u to a certain extent that its weak and confusing at times but not to an extent where audience would fall asleep.

BvS is of coz not the best superheroes movies out there but it doesnt warrant these much level of hate. Juz look at the rotten tomatoes score 28% even lower than past most hated superheroes movie like wolverine origins. It certainly does not deserved such ratings when there are ppl who enjoyed the movie.

I think people expect more when you put Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman on-screen together, just like Avengers and upcoming Civil War movie.
If a standalone film of Batman but with Sup and WW making cameo's, I guess the movie rating might actually go up.
But cramping so many things into a 2hr+ movie when they could have split them up and do separate movies for greater character development but didn't is kind of disappointing for DC fans...

You can't have more character development with Superman now that he's dead.
If you resurrect him, it will be a different storyline liaoz...
Injustice storyline or Dark Superman likely...

Snyder did mention that it would be interesting to explore what kind of person will he be when he's back. Like will he be a totally different person or any change in powers or personality. So yea I think they're gonna expand on that.
