BvS needs to be huge. SS and WW just need to be well received.

But all 3 of them need to work to build the same kind of anticipation for JL that Avengers 1 got. But if even 1 of those 3 screw up that could be fatal to the Dc movie verse brand building. They can't screw it up in that first Phase.

WB is certainly building the hype already. BVS already has 47 M views on youtube (3rd highest in history) in one week alone and the reactions are overwhelming positive, despite what some articles have been saying.

actually despite the millions of views on youtube, the teaser has garnered mixed reviews.. if you or david koresh err campea want proof just click on the link i provided and read

Youtube doesn't count multiple views on one computer. Nice try. 😛

We won't know whether it will be a disaster until the final product comes out, but IF Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad is huge, then that will more than likely create a snowball effect for the future films.

WB is taking chances and that's a good thing overall. If they pull it off, they can break Marvel's 7B dollar record, which is on pace for sure.

How do that break Marvel's $7 billion record? When BvS comes out, Marvel will be at $8 billion and into it's 3rd phase of their franchise. The 4th phase will be around the corner a handful of sequels. They still haven't taped the Runaways, X-Men, Fantastic Four.

I'm just speaking about their first 9-10 films, which made 7B. We're talking Marvel Studios only and MOS made more money than Marvel's phase 1 movies, sans Avengers. BVS will be an even bigger hit.

BvS will make around 1.2 billion, I'm predicting. BvS will make under Avengers 1 because it probably won't be as re-watchable or appeal to as broad of an audience. Who knows though, Batman fans can get tenacious.

A billon would still be pretty damn good for DCCU second film, with hardly any buildup. Then again, it's Batman. :/

Nah a Billion's expected with these 2 huge icons together. The last 2 solo Batman films made a Billion each. So Anything less than that for this and they've done something majorly wrong.

And it's the DCCU's own fault if they've had no build up to this. They've spent the last 2 years teasing this instead of putting other films out there.

Joss Whedon had actually written a Batman movie script that got rejected by WB

http://www.businessinsider.com/joss-whedon-rejected-batman-script-2015-4

There was a lot more in Whedon’s take, about the orphaned Bruce Wayne as a morbid, death-obsessed kid. There was a scene—Whedon used to well up, just thinking about it—where young Bruce tries to protect this girl from being bullied in an alley, an alley like the one his parents were murdered in.

“And he’s like this tiny 12-year old who’s about to get the s— kicked out him. And then it cuts to Wayne Manor, and Alfred is running like something terrible has happened, and he finds Bruce, and he’s back from the fight, and he’s completely fine. And Bruce is like, “I stopped them. I can stop them.’ That was the moment for me. When he goes ‘Oh, wait a minute; I can actually do something about this.’ The moment he gets that purpose, instead of just sort of being overwhelmed by the grief of his parents’ death.”

The script also featured a new villain instead of one from the Caped Crusader's vast rogue's gallery.

"In my version, there was actually a new [villain], it wasn’t one of the classics -- which is probably why they didn’t use it," Whedon told MTV in 2008. "It was more of a 'Hannibal Lector' type -- he was somebody already in Arkham Asylum that Bruce went and sort of studied with. It was a whole thing -- I get very emotional about it, I still love the story. Maybe I’ll get to do it as a comic one day."

That's because those 2 movies were already established. Also, Heath's death and the Joker in general already gave it a bump. Batman Begins didn't even make close to that and that was the first in the series.

Batman Begins was coming off Batman&Robin being the last Batman movie. But it got people excited again which lead to the mega success of the latter movies.

Much like how IM is the best of the IM film, which along with Avengers lead to IM3 making over a Billion. And how X-Men FC is better than DOFP but lead to the excitement for that much bigger movie.

Everyone says that about Heath Ledger, and yet the next movie made more without Ledger, even though the majority of people consider it the worst of the trilogy. So again it's Billion was down to the excitement caused by BB and TDK.

But the Heath thing is well overstated. I don't remember Robin Williams films making a Billion after he died. Don't get me wrong, it made a difference for sure. But that film was always going to make big money, and TDKR still would have made a Billion.

Nah, DoFP is slightly better than First Class imo

Robin Williams didn't play one of the best villains in history. 😛

I honestly believe so.

Putting things in perspective, MOS made $660 WW. Just given that I'd say a sequel with Batman would make a good $800-$900mill WW.

But then factor in the last 2 Batman films made over a Billion dollars WW. I know those movies were Universally loved, and this Batman will be a rebooted version, but some of that love has to swing over to this Imo.

And then we're getting the first Big Screen take on Wonder Woman as well.

And honestly, I think this is potentially the biggest movie WB/DC could give us. I think this has more potential than JL. But it all obviously depends on the final product.

I don't know if Batman vs Superman is going to make a billion. I would probably think that it would, but mostly because of Batman. Superman doesn't have the draw he once did. It really depends on if the movie is good or not.

Avengers had alot going for it when it came out...almost all of the heroes' solo outings were huge hits, and people wanted to see them all on the big screen together for the first time. It was an epic experience. This movie hasn't really established anyone except Superman in it's current setting......so it will be interesting to see what happens.

That being said, I do feel a billion dollars is somewhat likely.

you sure we will get Wonder woman on time lol?

I'm surprised Golgo isn't all over the Wonder Woman promo pic that's been leaked.
