Mary Poppins is doing fine.
There's so much potential in Superdad, and they could get there. Justice League ended with Lois and Clark getting engaged. If they don't care about the timeline, they could skip ahead to them being married with a 10 yo Jon.All DC need to do to make Superman work on screen is adapt the current version of the character from Rebirth including his son.
I dont even like Supes really and I love his Rebirth comics
And yeah Batman needs to lean hard into the detective / noire side of things
Just need crowd pleasing movies man.Imagine the juice Justice League would've had after these solo films
Hoping this marks a new phase of good solid DC movies. Forget about the past, they were a bad nightmare or somethingJust need crowd pleasing movies man.
People already love DC characters, as Aquaman's success is showing.
This is the most awesome combination of any two movies everI don't think people want "smart" Batman, it would be "boring" to see him working a case for 2 hours.
Though an adaption of Arkham Asylum... where it's essentially Batman: The Raid could do gangbusters
Kevin Feige should hang his head in shameInsane that 900m - 1 Billion is in play for a Aquaman movie of all things.
Between how well Wonder Woman and Aquaman have done it just shows how seriously DC fucked up with their portrayals of Batman and Superman. Imagine how successful films about those 2 should be in the modern era
It's amazing we are even talking $1B scenarios for a movie about Aquaman.
It did?! I have no memory of that at all :lolThere's so much potential in Superdad, and they could get there. Justice League ended with Lois and Clark getting engaged. If they don't care about the timeline, they could skip ahead to them being married with a 10 yo Jon.
Don't follow international box office too closely, but it seems kind of low in many places and mostly held up by China

Raid inspired Batman would be madness. It's literally what fans want, that and the detective element.This is the most awesome combination of any two movies ever

Disney selling Marvel to WB in 2019 confirmed
I guess we won't see X-Men and the Fantastic Four in the MCU after all...
But seriously, what kind of reality do we live in that fucking AQUAMAN might be the first DCEU movie, and the first DC movie since The Dark Knight Rises to make a billion dollars?
Could pick up over the next few days.Done really badly here in the U.K. but it looks like almost everything is.
Check out Batman Assault on ArkhamRaid inspired Batman would be madness. It's literally what fans want, that and the detective element.
Double Toasted said that WB should've just ripped off Assault on Arkham instead of whatever tf they did for Suicide Squad (haven't watched either yet)
Someone, namely Frank Miller with "The Dark Knight Returns" planted the idea that Superman is an outdated, boring character in the public's mind, people who never liked the character started parroting it, and WB believed them. Almost every move DC and WB have made with Superman since then have been trying to "fix" the character.It did?! I have no memory of that at all :lol
I don't know what WB's problem with Superman is. It's like Donner showed them 40 years ago a path forward on Superman movies, and they've gone out of their way to do everything but that ever since. And clearly WW, Aquaman, and Shazam show that it's not like that kind of tone and direction is totally alien to WB. Hell, Nolan's Batman movies, for all the talk they get about being dark and gritty, are still entertaining crowdpleasers. Yet when it comes to Superman, the decisionmakers at WB just can't help but make the wrong calls on movie after movie.

Looks terrible from the trailer but we will see
I highly doubt Snyder's version could have been worse than the animated version.Because Zach Snyder is an edgelord who was drawn to the edgiest stories.
Imagine Zach Snyder's The Killing Joke
:shudder:
The Dark Knight Returns portrayed Superman as a tool of the government. That no matter what Superman stands for he's nothing more than a puppet for the rich in charge and he will always be on their side. Frank Miller never made him a boring character.

But I say it all the time. People like Superman. People have always liked Superman. I'd say the overwhelming majority of people have some fondest for Superman. Stop trying to convince us. Superman Returns tried it by being all "Member 1978?" Man of Steel, BvS, and Justice League basically called us all ungrateful jerks for disliking Superman. Neither approaches exactly set the world on fire.
They need to get a writer and director team that understands why Superman as a character and not a symbol works and can translate that without the cynicism or desperation.
I'm talking less about Miller's intentions and more about what people took from it. The idea that Superman is a boring boy scout and outdated symbol of Americana started with his portrayal in TDKR and continued from there as Batman's popularity reignited in late 80s - early 90s. That may not have been Miller's intent at the time but it was a side effect of the story.I highly doubt Snyder's version could have been worse than the animated version.

I know I'm terrible at match but is it still possible for Aquaman to reach a billy or even 900 million? Didn't exactly blow the doors this past weekend. I know legs can be crazy around this time but crazy enough for get another 450 million?
You're aware how word of mouth works, right? Most people get to know that movies exists through marketing and people they know or follow, either through WeChat, Weibo, Youku or what have you. People use Maoyan to order tickets online. The fact that you put a great emphasis on aggegrated anonymous reviews is laughable.

Marwen is an embarrassment of a movie. It portays the main character as a complete creep and is really sexual and violent for no reason. There's a scene where the movie lingers on a doll with exposed breasts for a good 10 seconds. Every scene with violence is over the top, and not in a fun way. Just...for no reason. The final act of the movie is so oddly paced I went back and forth between 'we have another 45 minutes' and 'this is over in 2 minutes' constantly.Is marwen bad or just not standard popcorn flick? Looked great from the preview.
Please go and see Bumblebee. One of this year's most enjoyable and heartwarming films. So happy to finally get a good Transformers film. The opening 10 minutes is my favourite of any film this year.
Really hope Travis Knight gets Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 now. If he can produce quality like this in first live-action film then the sky is the limit.
No.Bohemian Rhapsody - $667M
That is the most impressive number this weekend. Who saw this coming?
Disney is a lowkey shitshow without Marvel or Star Wars tbh.
Green Lantern Corps had the Johns backing so it was gonna happpen regardlessi wonder if Aquaman success means Cyborg and Green Lantern corps will actually happen

It's horrible. It's insulting to the person the movie is based on. It's disturbing. It's fucking BAD.
Warners' marketing plan worked: Aquaman grossed $105.7M over the five-day holiday (including previews), winning females over in a big way with F25+ giving the DC superhero pic its best gender score of 84% on ComScore/Screen Engine's PostTrak plus its best definite recommend of any gender demo at 71%. Moms turned out in greater numbers than Dads, 56% to 44% and enjoyed Aquaman more, 91% to 85%. Women also graded Aquaman with an A- CinemaScore, a number that was equal to men.

Learning about Moms 4 Momoa has been an extra treat
Paramount does Transformers.The best movie I seen in quite sometime.
Universal should have released this 5 years after The Last Knight.
I am sure Bays movies affected Bumblebee. What an amazing movie being tarnished by the dark timeline of the movies.

The only DC film that felt like it tried copying Marvel was Justice League, mostly due to Whedon.It's amazing all they needed was actually say fuck it and copy Marvel instead of Synder trying to be dark and edgy or copying Nolan.

Aquaman and WW feel distinct, even from eachother.
