What does that mean?

That's not news. I'm just surprised Supes is still beating heroes like Thor, Spider-Man, and Captain America in the U.S.

Why are you surprised? Superman is (has been) more popular to the general audience than any of those marvel heroes.
Even if a sub par movie is released featuring superman or batman, the general audience will still see it and it will make money.
IMO- Dark knight rises , and MOS were sub par. General audience still ate them up.

Exactly only Spiderman is on that Superman/Batman level, maybe Robin aswell but he was done so poorly by Schumacher

Spider-Man got 92 M this weekend and will finish even lower than Cap domestically. Looks like there is a little fatigue in the franchise. That or people aren't all that crazy with how the reboot is going.

Nah, I think there's a good number of people who are fatigued of bad comic book movies in general. Cap is doing some much better because of the hype from Avengers, word of mouth, and critic acclaim. Thor 2 just sucked and wasn't Iron Man is probably why Cap beat it. Had Thor 2 been almost as good as Cap 2, I think it do a lot better. Cap 2 is running on good word of mouth by this point.

Superman still has more die hard fans (some who don't even read comics). Was there ever a year when Superman didn't have a movie or on going TV show in the last two decades?

92 mil for a weekend is good for any movie.
Based in reviews the movie is not very good it seems. I'll see it soon and be the judge.
Anyhow based on money, 92mil this weekend is a successful movie no matter how you look at it.

92 isn't nothing to sneeze at, of course. But hardly doesn't compare to the old Spidey movies, especially when you factor in inflation.

Probably fatigue. They ideally needed to wait a few more years for the reboot bit couldn't due to the rights issue.

However I feel this series is far superior to the Ramai series in terms of plot, characterisation and overall direction is going. Just think the general audience were not ready for an immediate reboot.

anyone know when we will see the new batsuit, as well as Supes' new duds and Wonder Woman's costume?

Snyder says he has all the promotional stuff done, its just a front office decision at this point. I'd guess it will be out to undercut Gotg.

That it not be directed by Zack Snyder so it could really be a classic? 😉

MOS was a re-write away from being a super hero classic, IMO. So glad they got someone who could hopefully turn that around.

Has it been confirmed yet if Affleck will direct JL?

It's Snyder, not Affleck. Supposedly Affleck hasn't signed on to do that Batman films, either. If true, I think the story will hand the mantle to another, younger Batman. Could be wrong, of course.
