Yeah when the heck did Batman lose steam?
One IM movie grossing more doesn't make IM bigger. In fact if you account for ticket prices you'll probably find more people went to watch TDK and TDKR anyway.
If IM can make over a Billion again, then you can make that claim. But for now Batman's still No. 1.

Good point. Probably not. But then let's face it, without Nolan the next Batman won't make a Billion either. But still probably more than an IM without Downey. Because your right Batman IS the bigger franchise not being dependant on any particular actor..

Nolan's Batman is the highest grossing trilogy in super hero genre, which will probably be surpassed by the Avengers, which IM couldn't do.
As for the next Batman Superman movie, I think it will do a billion. It's a marketing team's wet dream. MOS could have done more money if it was released at a better release date and was better. Seeing that Affleck is going to have a hand in the script, I think it's only going to improve.
The release date is on the 17th, which doesn't have as much competition as MOS did.
YES! They just annouced Bryan Cranston will play Lex Luthor!!
"The only choices they have?" Really? Is there a shortage of white male actors who look decent bald in Hollywood?
There's probably a thousand small time/unknown actors who would love to do the roll and would do it well.
That comment just re-affirms my point. WB are rushing these movies, and relying on star power is one of their strategies. They're going to throw as many big names at this franchise as they can.
