Man of Steel Box Office Prediction Thread - - - - Part 13

[DarthSkywalker]

So if Bale doesn't reprise the role, it would be a different Batman from Nolan's universe. Do they have to explain his origin at all or just go on with it?

You don't need to tell Batman's origin at this point.

 

[Marvin]

if this is true, 2015 is officially..pretty darn big. I mean doesn't that year close out with James Cameron?

Can't wait to hear which studios pick which dates.

 

[JangoNate]

Don't think I want Bale as Batman for WF. If they did, a lot of time needs to be spent on explaining why he is Batman and fixing the end of TDKR (and making it pointless, too). Start fresh for this new DCU and trust the audience not to need another origin story.

 

[Bruce Malone]

I give this a 30% chance of being a legit story. Way too many similar rumors have been popping up for 2015 and WB/DC.

Until I hear it announced by WB I'm not buying it.

 

[JOE]

If Bale doesn't return I don't see this being as successful as people think it will be...

 

[Stephen K. Hone]

RDJ got 50M if I remember correctly, do you think Bale would get that kind of money?

No, but $15 - 20 million upfront and points on the back end for a movie with the BO potential of WF would not be unreasonable. I think RDJ's $50 million is including points.

 

[Rowsdower!]

If Bale doesn't return I don't see this being as successful as people think it will be...

It will still be huge. People really like Bale as Batman, but any Batman movie that gets the character right will almost always be a hit. Hell, even movies that f***ed up the character horribly (Batman Forever, B&R) still made money.

 

[Ms. Marvel]

I'd like the response to be short, sweet and end in 'off'.

Hahaha

 

[spider-neil]

Superman - 'Ra's, Dent, Talia...

Batman - 'Technically I didn't kill Ras, Dent or Talia'

 

[Liam_H]

"....I just didn't have to save them".

 

[Stephen K. Hone]

WB need to go with July 24th 2015. If they go with the 17th someone will take the 24th and only give it one week without serious competition. The latter date could give WF weeks to go without being seriously contested by another tent pole movie.

 

[spider-neil]

I'm torn which Batman I want for WF.

On the one hand, Bale facing off to Cavill would be epic (but no question that would be only one movie). On the other hand a new Batman would be new and fresh and hopefully closer to the comics.

 

[spider-neil]

I'm a Marvel guy but I think WF would definitely give Avengers 2 a run for its money.

 

[Ms. Marvel]

Batman - 'Technically I didn't kill Ras, Dent or Talia'

He pushed Dent off a roof. He may not have meant to kill him but he did.

WB announced it already and showed the logo

looks like wb takes another con.

Only if it's better.

 

[Stephen K. Hone]

[rayc1971]

[TheNextNolan22]

Unless /DisneyMarvel or anyone else truly has something massive up their sleeves, I gotta agree.

Unfortunately, I gotta agree with this.

 

[Marvin]

Shareholders just called Disney, told them to call Marvel and in turn told them to call RDJ to double confirm that he's going to be available for Avengers2. Or else....

 

[rayc1971]

Unfortunately, I gotta agree with this.

thank you no one is seeing this but me and you

They announced it as a sequel to MOS.
