Batman Begins didn't even come close. And TDK didn't initially make a billion until it's re-release. There were many factors that made TDK to Crack a billion, it wasn't just Batman.
Batman Begins was fixing the franchise, and contributed to TDK making as much as it did.
And 1Billion World Wide was a heck of a lot more in TDK's day than it is today. Just look at TDK's domestic gross. Those "many factors" pushed TDK up well beyond today's 1Billion when you adjust it.

My point is that not every Batman movie does a billion, good or bad.
TDK had a lot of factors going into it, that made it cross a billion. True, in terms of today, it would have done Avengers money.

Of course Batman movies were not doing a Billion 10 years ago while trying to fix the franchise.
That's my point as well. That TDK in today's terms made approx Avenger numbers (with some extenuating factors). But then TDKR accounting for lack of 3d sold approx same number of tickets as IM3 or more. So hitting 1 Bill for Batman in 3d and in today's money should not be this difficult.
Given all that it's not encouraging that this film has devalued Batman so much.

TDK is an outlier, though. Even TDKR sold less tickets than 89 Batman.

So like this is their 3rd controversial movie where they ****ed up their characters. I think they should scrap whatever plans they had and do a Justice League: Crisis to reboot their whole cinematic universe.
What was the third one? Green Lantern? Because if you meant TDKR, I have to disagree.

They should have used Metallo. The guy in the wheelchair should have been John Corben and Lex should have given him cybernetic upgrades to turn him into Metallo.
That would have been great! Would have made Batman more useful in the end fight as well, given they're fighting a Kryptonite powered villain.
No idea why they went with someone as big as Doomsday.. Well actually I do. For the
Spoiler:
Death of Superman ending.

I think Snyder will be exploring more for DD in JL.
