That sounds like such a huge crock of poo poo.

It most likely is, like pretty much everything Warner was "leaking" before BvS was released.

At this point for them it is likely less about consistently beating Marvel and more about cranking out 2 high grossing movies a year. If they panic just because they aren't making Marvel money right out of the gate then they're incredibly foolish and they won't be able to maintain a consistent franchise for the next decade anyway.

The biggest problem with BvS is that it used up so much material for one film, they litteraly could have made 2 or 3 flicks out of it. And that's without accounting for the potential "build up" movies.

Who wants to see Batfleck fight scarecrow or the riddler after he beat superman and helped beat Doomsday? Its a no contest, not that it really ever was.

They really didn't think about it long term, they wanted to cash in right now, wich they will but they lost a lot of potential money in the long term.

edit: Theres always reboots, DC comics reboots happen every few years so most fans will be ok with it. As far as I know, Warner didn't have the main cast sign life contracts either so its probably in the plans already.

Plenty of people enjoying Captain America fighting a dude with a mechanical arm after he helped take down a massive army of aliens led by a god. Many of us preferred it. And get this, in both cases the latter was when he was teamed-up with another god, whereas in the former he was mostly on his own.

Winter Soldier was Captain America's equal, pretty much. Not a living god. Avengers beat loki and ultron, not Cap by himself...

Why is it the only way a lot of people seem to envision a challenge to a superhero is "how hard can he punch? He punched that hard? Ergo he wins every fight why would anyone want to see anything less?"

You can have a superhero being out smarted but still need splosions... And if you go by MoS and BvS(or the nature of these films), Warner likes them explosions.

Riddler and Scarecrow were kind of bad examples too because the nature of those characters means that any conflict with them really won't be a question of whether Batman is strong enough to punch them out or not. A psychological enemy is pretty much exactly what I want to see Batman Ben Affleck dealing with.

Yes they were bad examples, I have to agree. If you look at it that way. Replace those names with any punchy rogue Batman has.

What's funny is thanks to Flash, DC has more of a chance doing that now than Marvel ever will.

Marvel is probably going to need heroes to fill frames for Infinity Wars, so they might show up then.

Expecting TV actors to have roles in major blockbusters is not very realistic though.

Yeah he said that suspiciously close to just after the news that Ike Perlmutter would have nothing to do with movies anymore.

This was the rumor back when it came out.
Who comes any close to RDJ other than Evans in popularity in the cast?
It would be very dumb of Disney to keep him dead.

edit: not to mention that Evans is still one of cheapest actors on that cast for some reason.

None of that takes into account the budget, wich Nolan's Batman flicks were a whole lot smaller.

Theres no way of looking at BvS and saying it performed well except for that first week-end when no one knew what the gently caress.

edit: Rises is at 250? Thought it was smaller. Still significantly smaller than BvS
