The Daily Planet Vol. 2: Superman News and Speculation Thread (🚨TAG SPOILERS🚨)

There is no way this is making $700m WW to 'break-even'.

There's no way your biased opinion matters.

All joking aside but why some folks want to hate on the Superman movie so much. Every time someone posts something positive on the site there is like a follow up negative post reaction. I find it odd. I saw a posting that all Superman needs to do is make $500 million world wide million to be a sucess at box office but then the writer wrote it will need $700 million to make the fans happy. That seems odd.

It just means that haters nowadays will create any discourse to hate on something. So even if it breaks even at $500M , people online would still be moving the goalpost.

Anyway, the movie will do what it'll do.

Did you read the article? That’s not the “break even” number. That would be $500mil. $700mil is the “unqualified success” number.

Well, Mandon Knight just proved the article's point about haters setting the "unqualified success" number. Lol.

Recommend reading this. It was fun, and feels like it gives a pretty good sense of the characterisations they are going for in the film.

Took me a few hours to finish and I'm not a super fast reader.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Sorry but this is stupid. By his definition the Batfam could be considered Metahumans

Yeah, this movie is attracting so much attention. It’s good for business either way.

[Gu3ree]

I mean Batman cheated death, traveled through time and killed Darkseid so..

BTW i have heard it theorized (badly) that Batman is a meta.

 

[Herolee10]

When it comes to Batman, I always found it funny whenever people said that he was easier to relate to when compared to Superman. Despite technically being "human", I could never relate to someone being a billionaire with a genius intellect that mastered all forms of human combat across the globe.lol

Although Superman is a powerful alien, it's his upbringing and dilemmas that I found more relatable in comparison.

Same. Batman's supposed "relatability" has never come across for me. You can say he "has no powers" all you want, but that doesn't explain a great many of his feats and the things he's survived. He's as superhuman as anyone for the purposes of the plot tbh. And psychologically, I can't relate either. When my parents die, I don't have a lifelong obsessive crusade against crime in me to avenge them. Sorry mom and dad. I'll mourn and move on like most people have to do. What it comes down to for me is, if I were a billionaire with all the resources in the world, I could not be a Batman. If I were a Kryptonian with powers granted by a yellow sun, I like to think I could be a Superman. He's just a regular guy who's trying to help out like a good neighbor when it's within his abilities to do so while still living his life the best way he knows how, with the same day-to-day life struggles as anyone. Supes has just always been the actual relatable one to me.

 

[Black Narcissus]

We dont know anything, and pretending we do is ridiculous. Man of Steels BO wasn't exactly stellar plenty of bad movies passed it and if Superman is good it can easily do it. Your bias is blinding you buddy.

We aren't WB we dont have to care about the universe, we just have to care whether we as fans enjoy it. This "it needs to make this much or its a disaster" nonsense is clickbait bs and it is ruining fandom.

Nah, your enthusiasm is blinding you, son. Hell, I didn’t even say anything negative. Following bo is part of these very forums, I don’t understand the defense mode on your end. Clickbait bs does ruin the fandom, but actual numbers do not. Kinda how I’m bummed that was the last we possibly seen of George Millers’ Mad Max films, at the very least ones made by him in his lifetime at this point. Like it or not, BO has a lot riding for Supes for the near future. Especially if the film is great, it be a bummer to never see a sequel, which we haven’t had since the Donner flicks. I can’t go one entire page on here without some of yall mentioning that ‘’cult’’, so yes, the fandom as a whole still has a lot to improve on. Having said that! I will be there opening weekend. Granted, I wont pay for an actual ticket, but I’ll be there.

 

[donuts]

Yes.
Box office is important for future sequels. People's opinion on the box office online is not.
Also, get off the high horse with the seeing it without paying for a ticket thing maybe, fella?
Trying a little hard with the "cool" persona on a superhero movie forum.

 

[J.Drangal]

These character poster are great, but I would also say they give some big WW85 energy!

I'm really looking forward to Metamorpho. I love that they've gone for a practical look.
Same for Terrific. The fact that I'm drawn to these two characters I'm not familiar with means that something is clicking for me.

Just negative posts for no reason. I don’t get it. Comparing Mad Max to Superman or Gunn to Miller. This is mind boggling….

 

[donuts]

To be fair, the Mad Max and George Miller part I agree with. It is a bummer that Furiosa didn't do better and that we may not get at least the planned The Wasteland.

The relatable part about Batman is turning grief, sadness and darkness into something good. It's the heart and soul that matters. And that is present as much as it is in Superman (and many other characters).

 

[DyeLorean]

What I find odd as of late is how the topic of movies has completely shifted to box office numbers, "what it needs to break even" and all that financial side of the business that should only matter to the studios. It's boring and it really doesn't add anything to the quality of the film. When we look back at the films we love, nobody cares or remembers how much money it made.

Yeah but Batman is the “most realistic” superhero.

Because as we know, billionaires at birth always use their money for altruistic reasons.
