Why is it over budget?

easily, already it was said in Detroit alone WB was spending $130 million which is not counting over places they will go.. next since this film is being delayed that cost money, money they will have to pay each and every worker involved in this.. also that isn't even counting all the cgi that will be added as well, plus ADR work or if they have to go back and re film stuff

It's not extreme at all. They've been doing all the pre-production stuff for this film since mid 2013.

Days of Future Past and TASM 2 are not even out yet, but still sequels to both are confirmed for around the same date as MOS2 (the new date that is).

Something is definitely wrong here. Especially when they had a confirmed date in 2015. Either they're scared of the 2015 competition, or they're starting from scratch with the script and pre-production.

I totally agree with you Darth Power

They're not mainly using Detroit?

So what are they going to do in the mean time? Nothing? Does it really take so long just to put 2 superheroes together. Marvel in the space of 5 years introduced us to Iron Man, Thor and Captain America, gave us a Hulk film and IM sequel and the Avengers.

They had a much more difficult task because they're characters were not well known and they had to give them exposure.

Whilst WB is now taking 3 years just to put Batman and Superman together with no solo movies for anyone else? And then what? They're just going to jump into Justice League?

I really can't be bothered being excited for this anymore. Give me Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America 2, Avengers 2 and Ant-Man news instead. Because that's 4 exciting crossover films Marvel are giving me by next year. Whilst WB just keep working on putting Superman and Batman together.

It's a valid assumption. They usually do take risks with their budget for DC films. For Superman/Batman it's almost certain they will.

I told you so.

Shut up quanchi! I'm annoyed because I was all hyped up for this movie and where WB/DC was going on the big screen over the next couple of years.

I'm annoyed as a fan.

But nothing justifies your blind hatred.

Also listen to this guy from 5:35 to 6:25

Because it's pretty much how I feel on the whole Marvel/DC movie thing.

You have come full circle to exactly the same position I shared initially. You know it. You even said basically make mine marvel. Once again told you so.

There's certainly more to be excited about from Marvel. Winter Soldier and GOTG this year, and Avengers 2 and Ant-Man next year. WB/DC are giving us nothing for the next couple of years, so nothing to get excited about from their potential films.

Seems Warner Bro's wants to best Marvel

WB's plan, is to end each of their films with a cliffhanger, setting up the next film in their cinematic universe. WB also wants to do short films for their lesser known characters. These short films would be played at the end of each film. That's a pretty interesting way of taking on Marvel's trademark post-credits scenes.

They will fail.

Hard to take such a claim seriously with what's going on, (Or more what's not going on).

But still, competition's always good. Aim for the stars and they might get somewhere half decent.

I've grown up with Marvel. They are taking the lead, but the unfortunate distance between their properties is vast. Spiderman, mutants ect.

DC are playing the turtle, they are planting their seeds for a fortuitous outcome.

Marvel needs to take advantage of television with their street level characters. And need to seek unison with Sony and Fox with their properties or separation will be their downfall.

DC have played the waiting game, but are too cowardly to venture into their more cosmic characters with confidence.

Marvel has made an incredible move with Guardians of the Galaxy.
I once thought an Avengers film impossible but this? Mind-blowing.

This film will be the origin film DC wishes for. A new start for Batman.

Marvel needs to unify in order to cut off this film.

Well besides TDK trilogy, DC's films haven't exactly been anything to rival Marvel. Green Lantern was horribly panned and MoS (while entertaining IMO) wasn't nearly the success DC wanted it to be (at least as far as critical acclaim goes). If the S/B film is anything like MoS, I don't see how DC can come out on top over Marvel, especially since Marvel is shelling out multiple films every year. This S/B film must be a masterpiece, otherwise Marvel will throatphuck them.

Well Marvel did have Joss Whedon direct Avengers...just saying they had that going for them. But yeah DC isn't doing so hot on the big screen: though they are kicking ass on the small screen for what its worth.

But I'm not sure how MoS 2 is going to pull this off especially with the delay they have now.

F*** beating Marvel. Just give us more quality films I say.

But we're not getting anything from them for over 2 years now, so screw them and their pointless statements until there's something to actually be excited about.

Because forget Marvel, right now they're not even competing with Fox or Sony on the superhero front.

That is the point. The delay.

Guardians of the Galaxy will push forth the cosmic genre of the medium whereas DC's Green Lantern failed.

And DC is venturing into Arrow and his connected characters.

Yet Marvel is about to venture into their street level characters like Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones. Dare Devil is also rumoured.

But then again unification of FOX ownerships and Sony's are necessary for a complete takedown.

If that happens then there is no stopping Marvel.

Are you kidding me? Marvel Studios are crushing Fox and competing against Sony's Spiderman and FOX's X-men franchises quite well.

TBF, Fox are very well known for being greedy phucks, so I don't see an alliance with Disney happening any time soon. That being stated, even without X-Men or Spiderman, Marvel's still got a huge ass roster to choose from, and if GOTG is a success, it'll be the gateway to introducing virtually any B-List superhero they choose. DC is having trouble re-introducing Superman, their most famous superhero. Every attempt to introduce Wonder Woman has been panned, and Martian Manhunter hasn't seen the light of day since the DCAU. Batman is the only DC big-name to have any undisputed cinematic success, and even that is being questioned with the casting change (TBF, I'm rooting for Affleck). GL was an utter failure, and while Arrow, and by extension The Flash are doing good on the small-screen, unless there is a direct crossover (like Marvel is wisely doing with AoS, although I'll admit it's not as good as Arrow), I don't see how it will help DC in the cinematic sense. As stated before, the only way DC has any chance is if the S/B film is a masterpiece, like, serious Oscar-level.

Talking about DC. Maybe I didn't word that right. I meant forget DC competing with Marvel, because right now DC isn't even competing with Sony or Fox.

😂

It's just so hilarious to me that DC is losing this battle, when they have the far more famous characters.

That's not gonna happen. Fox and Sony will never let go of those properties. And even if they did, Marvel would have to prioritize their products then. We wouldn't be getting as many superhero flicks, because there' no way Marvel could produce an X-Men or Spider-Man every year on top of everything else they're doing.

Does Marvel get any percentage of the profits of the Spidey/X Men films? If not, how much did they get sold for?
