Avengers: Age of Ultron vs Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justic
Avengers 2 has a release date of May 2015 whilst Batman v Superman has a release date of May 2016 which'll be year later obviously. So my question is, which movie do you think will do better? I know Batman v Superman isn't the JLA movie...but it kinda is. I know we're still quite a while a way from both movies but there's no harm in getting the ball rolling a little early and this thread was bound to pop up at some point.
Quality-Wise Avengers 2 should be better. Whedon said part one wasn't anything spectacular and plans to do a much better job on the second. If whedon considers The Avengers unspectacular, I can't imagine how ****ing amazing part two is gonna be. Also, Bats v Supes doesn't inspire much confidence.
Box Office wise idk. Everyone will have to watch Batman vs Superman, while the Avengers hype would have died down. Avengers box office should have longer legs if it's better quality though, and I think it will be.
Only the smallest fraction of fans cared about the EU. Plus they are die hards and are pretty much guaranteed to see the new films anyway.

Oh, Avengers will make way more than Star Wars. After those shitty prequels, Star Wars hype is at a low
You are seriously underestimating the power of nostalgia and the OT cast returning. These movies aren't sequels to the PT but are direct sequels to the OT. They will pull in a ton of money.

Not to mention the retconning of the EU
I understand that they said its no longer cannon but the way I look at it is that its just a separate...and better universe lol
I think Avengers will make a lot more then Dawn of Justice. Granted im sure there will be a good bit of people that see both but unless Dawn of Justice is spectacular and merits everyone going to see it more then once it wont even be close imo.

Star Wars hype is NOT at an all time low. What planet ate you living on where no one gives a crap about the announcement of Episode VII? The real Question is if JJ Abrams has what it takes to make a movie that should easily make A Billion Plus World Wide.

I never said Star Wars hype is at an all time low . I said Star Wars hype is at a low - which just means that it's relatively weak. Still massive, but not at its epitome, or not teaching its potential. Lots of people were put off by the horrid prequels. Learn to read bro. Those stress wrinkles must be distorting your vision.

I don't care if you're claiming it's at an all time low, or just very low.
You never implied at all that it was still massive. Don't try and make out you were saying something completely different now that you're being called out on what you said.

Strange because I don't remember the first 2 "horrid prequels" stopping Revenge of the Sith earning money, but suddenly the new film following what's generally considered the best of the prequels, and a film which is bringing back the OT Cast, has suddenly got really low hype due to the Prequels? Sure.
But I'm not surprised since it is quite a rare occurrence for you to actually make sense.

Learn to think about what you're writing before you write it. Oh and.. Just learn anything at all useful.
I never said Star Wars hype was very low, I said it was at a low. The hype is still very high, but relative to other huge blockbusters, especially Avengers 2 and bats vs supes, it's weaker. Makes sense now?
Also, the first two horrible prequels put a sizable damper on the box office of Revenge of Sith. RoS earned a meager 380 million worldwide. Those numbers can't compete with a box office Mammoth like Avengers or the first on-screen pairing of bats, supes and WW.
