If the movies don't find their footing, that failure can crossover to other media. Green Lantern: TAS was great on its own, but because the movie bombed, the ratings for the toon never took off to CN's liking. (To be fair, I don't think CN was all that invested in it to begin with, but that also might've been because of the movie.)
If not, then they should have been. They had the head start with Superman and Batman being cinematic icons long before Marvel got started. And they also had control of all their properties as opposed to Marvel losing rights to many of their biggest, some maybe even permanently. JL has no reason not to be as big as Avengers. And comics have been around for 75-80 years. A cinematic universe based on DC is something else that satisfies a different desire. Comics can do stories and character development over the long term far better but you can't match live action for spectacle.
2 characters that they'd already had success with decades ago. The Nolan Batfilms were amazing but DC have a universe of properties and great characters beyond those 2 that they can give to fans on film.
Not sure I understand why it's relevant what WB are laughing about. Aren't we just talking about DC films here? Of course WB can get great success making movies that are nothing to do with comics but that's not the conversation.
They were great films. I can't see any solo comic film touching TDK for me in a long time. But DC has a lot of fans of characters beyond Superman & Batman. And I'm sure they want a successful cinematic universe too over independent solo films, or there wouldn't be WW & Bats appearing in this film. Hopefully this is successful enough to lead to big things down the road for the company.
No but they were the subject of conversation. WB's success outside of comic films won't ever be relevant unless it's a studio comparison thread. And I don't see this as a "Vs". The films have been far more complementary and supportive than competitive products (except when they decide to launch big films on the same day that is!
).
What Marvel Studios which was just born recently Vs the behemoth Warner Bros? Lol. Make the comparison if you want, I'm no policeman, just didn't think you actually meant it.
I don't think many people would be giving a damn about shared universes if at the very least we were getting solid and and consistent output on the DC front. We're about ten years in now from when WB decided to step back into the superhero game, and Nolan's trilogy is really the only one that came out unscathed.
Go ahead mate!
I'm going to sleep now anyway but thanks for your concern.
