remember this is WB we are talking about

I know, but something has to give. If BvS😄OJ sucks, they will have to look at themselves in the mirror. The DC Cinematic Universe and future reboots hinges on this movie.

Let's be real. Even if BvS sucks, it's still making a shit ton of money. Only problem is the hype for justice league would suffer.

Could that excuse really fly when Marvel is throwing out decent to amazing movies with every franchise they have rights to? WB will have to admit they aren't the best at spearheading comic book movies without DC involved at some point if they keep screwing up.

Well it was surprising they came out with that excuse for Green Lantern when it came out just 2 months after the box office success of Thor. And Thor was more successful than their last Superman movie even.

It was just a retarded though in the first place. Anyone with half a brain knows that GL flopped because it was just a really bad written and directed movie. You can't write off the character (and all DC characters) until they actually make well written and well directed movies featuring them which still end up flopping.

The whole reason they are rushing to Justice League is because Marvel is showing that these movies are viable. I just wished they rushed to complete solo film plans before Justice League.

So do I. I don't see what's so difficult in making a Flash movie and a Wonder Woman movie first. I mean B v S isn't even out for another 2 years, so it's not like they don't have time. They could easily do those 2 solo movies first and still keep to their Justice League schedule.

It's just sad, it really is.

Stan Lee still wants to cameo in Batman v. Superman.

No. Just no.

Lol at the first comment...

"DC
could probably make a lot more money with Superman and Batman if they
announced that I'd have a cameo in it! People wouldn't believe it –
they'd have to go to the theatre to see it!"

STFU you credit stealing fame monger!"

Some people REALLY take this whole internet thing to seriously

lol, Stan trolling everyone.

Stan Lee : 1
dc diehards : 0

Stan belongs to Marvel. Any DC involvement he has is blasphemy.

I know. its just funny that its an obvious joke but DC diehards are all raging about it (not just the link you posted but other sites that i read that story on as well).

Still lets say he did do a cameo on a DC flick just for fun. I dont think it would be so bad. Maybe it will kill off this stupid thinking that its either marvel or DC but not both. Might ease off this imaginary war and just enjoy comic book movies from both studios.
lol some are hating on him like hes the guy that killed their parents or something 🙂

That excuse from WB worked, because it was before The Avengers and Marvel still had to prove a cinematic universe worked.

The Incredible Hulk financially flopped, Iron Man 2 was a letdown compared to Iron Man, Thor was mostly decent, and Captain America: The First Avenger was more decent. Iron Man was the only film out the pre-Avengers Phase 1 films that could stand next to the Dark Knight in terms of quality. Add in that The Dark Knight made more than all Marvel Phase 1 films except The Avengers and you can understand WB being comfortable with only Batman and Superman.

Now, Iron Man 3 grossed over a billion, Thor: The Dark World grossed over $600 million, Captain America: The Winter Soldier is over $700 million, and Guardians of the Galaxy will have a strong brand name behind it to make sure it has a solid world wide gross. Combine this with Avengers: Age of Ultron sure to make over a billion with Ant-Man getting the brand boost and WB can't compete with only Batman and Superman.

The excuse truly wont fly this time.

Lol I bet he wasnt even serious, probably just wanted to get a rise out of the dc warriors and they walked right into it.

So apparently Fox put in an $80Billion bid for Time Warner. Looks like Fox is eager for a Wolverine V Batman movie.

The bid however was rejected. Still though it's interesting.

Rejected again?

wow...they're eager.

Don't monopoly laws prevent things like that?

Why? It's not like they would own even a majority of the market if TW had sold.

But Fox and Warner Bros are the two biggest film studios in Hollywood based on revenue. It seems like it would be sort of a monopoly in the film industry. Other than Disney, Universal and maybe Paramount, the would be no competition.

Yeah, but those studios are around...

The larger monopoly issue would be Fox owning Fox news and CNN if the acquisition happened. But the article says part off the deal would be for Fox to then sell off CNN.

Rupert Murdoch's massively increased media influence would be the main issue for me. But as for this thread/board I'm betting Fox would sort out DC movies.
