Wonder Woman has surpassed Suicide Squad and BvS domestic Box Office
- Thread starter Slayven
- Start date
Aquabro is going to make mad money. I think audiences will latch on to the whole bro thing.
Shoot, WB should bring him on over so they can have at least one without Nolan cross that line too while we're at it.
Lol get back to us when a DC movie makes a billion.
See you in November then.

It's a better movie and Diana is the best DC superhero

BvS may have been critically lambasted, did less numbers, and just wasn't as good as Wonder Woman, yes. But hating on the movie is a boring and tired cliché at this point.
So Wonder Woman told an inspiring tale featuring a powerful immigrant freshly introduced and seeing our world for the first time, and that's good, and people needed it.
BvS told a dark tale of an immigrant who has always been here, was a part of our world from the inside and felt he belonged, who then revealed his true power, and lost that sense of belonging when he saw how the America around him recoiled in fear.
I have the sense that if these movies grow shallow and weary the audience of their escapism, people will look back on BvS more kindly.

No doubt, but it's all relative, and a movie with Batman AND Superman should have made more than just "a shit ton of money".
I don't get why Suicide Squad was such a big hit considering it had no real brand cache prior to release. I blame Millennials.
Because fanboys will be fanboys
As long as it's decent, look out.
Exactly.
If you closed your eyes and covered your ears, it couldn't actually kill you.
Well, okay... a few people still died,

Who would have thought when the started the DCEU that Wonder Woman would do better than Suicide Squad and BvS?
Well-deserved. Easily the best DC movie since The Dark Knight.
WB has fucked up so bad that Iron Man is a bigger box office draw than Batman and Superman together. What kind of gargantuan L is that?

Rich people don't drink Coronas.
Yes they do X___X
No one in the GP knew what a fucking Iron Man was, now he's a bigger draw than the second most popular hero in the world and another top 5 well known hero. That's...just wow

So glad people are eating crow on Wonder Woman.
Told y'all she'd surpass the other films if the reception was there.

I think so, and it wouldn't be surprising at all. Cartoon Network probably had it in the worst timeslot and it probably didn't have much advertisement.
I don't think so.
Episodes air really sporadically. 26 so far, and I believe 52 have been made.
People with tastebuds don't drink coronass

congrats on the success
I love that Holland looks like he's laughing at Lego Batman
my head cannon is that Lego Batman was talking shit to Affleck about being in the superior Batman movie

I wonder if WB would be willing to make a Trinity movie. It would be amazing if it's half as good as the Rebirth comic.

Imagine how much Batman v Superman could've made if it had been good.
This is what I keep saying...

I meant again. It's been a while.
I think Batman v Superman would technically count. Trash execution but Wonder Woman is more than a cameo.

That is not acceptable. Besides only Batman and Wonder woman actually had any iteration.

"This thing is from another world - my world"
"I've killed things from other worlds before"
and Wonder Woman sort of glances at Superman's corpse.
So ... Trinity.
MH, you're my number one guy...
BvS will never stop being hated on because it's a piece of shit, and it's not going to look any better just because we've cleaned it off our shoes.BvS may have been critically lambasted, did less numbers, and just wasn't as good as Wonder Woman, yes.

Glad to see Wondy showing the boys how it's done: make a good film. I'm so tickled at the performance.
Yep. It's been damn near a decade, but I'm sure everybody will be done with all this cape nonsense by.... let's say next week? Yeah, that sounds about right.
Let's say after Infinity War that will sure to kill the industry

This is the goods
Yup.
The thing about super hero movies is that they aren't all even in the same genre.
