No vex...

Bro if Liverpool fvck up today I'll find you

VerifiedStalin:
"The Batman," I reiterate, will not be a financially successful film. In a recent interview, Pattinson stated that the film will be depressing, and that Bruce will be an oddball.

Like when has Bruce ever not been weird? The man is a multibillionaire who moonlights as a vigilante dressed as a bat, fighting criminals with his fists and mentoring juvenile soldiers. Bruce Wayne has always been a weirdo, and the Batman films have always been depressing. It's a trope we've seen many times before.

Ergo, The Batman, based on what I've seen so far, including trailers, synopses, interviews, and leaked images, isn't going to be new or particularly original; it'll be more or less like its predecessors, but slightly more boring.

It's a flop waiting to happen, I can't wait for March.

webhead:

You're exaggerating

SMUAG:
Abeg, make we dey calm down with all dis our shoot for the star guesstimation for The Batman. I think with what I have seen, I really want it to do perfect numbers at the end, but that shouldn't blindfold me to start making some hyperbolic predictions and when it doesn't measure up I'll start blaming covid-19 and the rest....
We should not forget that No Way Home was released at the perfect time - a time when "people just really want to catch fun", no matter the obstacles in front, why The Batman will not be having that luxury....

VerifiedStalin:
There's a lot more to it than that. I won't get into specifics, but it entails conveying a deep and emotional personal story while weaving in multiversal Spider-Man characters, yet navigating through the mayhem to deliver a more than adequate end product.

SMUAG:
Ye, but all your points were possible for the mainstream audience to really binge (in the context of multiple views) on it because of the luxury time/period it was released. I bet you No Way Home will not do the numbers it has done (now) if it was released in Feb or March.

Note: I had to take my younger ones to see it too because they were out of school during that period....

LordTheus:
You're sounding a little too confident here. Your points might be valid but I don't necessarily see how this would translate to a poor box office outing

VerifiedStalin:
I'm not. I believe Pattinson subconsciously wishes for the film to fail, as he does not exude confidence whenever he talks about it.

VerifiedStalin:
NHW is simply a fan service masterpiece that brazenly exploited our nostalgia by bringing our favorite characters to life. Suffice to say, it wouldn't make much of a difference if it was released in February, March, or June; it would still do similar numbers.

webhead:
You have a point sha....

But, judging from what we've seen in the trailers, I think the movie is going to be a bit unique from previous batman movies–the movie feels very similar to the daredevil Netflix series
(I wonder which trailers you're watching by the way)

SMUAG:
Holidays are one major factor that really boosts cinemas tickets sales, brother.

VerifiedStalin:
Infinity War and Endgame would like a word.

SMUAG:
I take exception to a few. Those movies were the climax of over 20 (stand to be corrected) movies, so it will definitely get the hypes...

Bratking:
You're wrong. I won't set the BO on fire but it won't flop either.

VerifiedStalin:
After realizing that both were indeed released over the holiday season, I made some changes to my post.

@bolded, the same argument can be made for NWH, as it is the climax of three separate Spider-Man films and so was bound to be warmly received.

SMUAG:
Yes, but not as anticipated as the Avengers' climax.

But on a good note, I am only watching out to see if WB has truly learnt its lessons.

Hail Snydra!!!

Nickshrapnel:
They’ve learnt, they let Gunn did his thing with The Suicide squad and Reeves with The Batman.

AnfieldFan:
Batman will comfortably do 800M and possibly north of a billion...

This is Batman we are talking about here folks, it doesn't even need to be good, just by virtue of being Batman, it will do numbers...As bad as BVS was, it did 872m and even though it was disappointing considering they A list heroes featured, those are still solid numbers. I for one think this Batman will be different from others as it seems this one will have a detective vibe, a lot of mystery, gritty violence and actual competent Choreography.
Also, from the novel, this Batman loves Chemistry, takes samples, residue and what have you(In essence, a Batman that is smart)..
They can't fu*k up this movie, WB has given everything and gone gung ho on Marketing...

VerifiedStalin:
Moviegoers would sure love to spend three hours in a theater watching a CSI Batman collect samples and obsess over DNA residue. That would be an engrossing viewing indeed!

AnfieldFan:

Makes for engaging cinematic experience

But seriously, the only drawback (I don't even know if it is one) is it's run-time....
Every other thing is going for it plus it has no serious competition for close to a month (both before and after)...

abduleez1:
The marketing of the movie ehn dey fear me sef .... I see The Batman everywhere online.

Twitter, everywhere.
In the US ppl see th Batman everywhere, from Pizzas, Coffee Mugs, shops, billboards and the likes.

I'm beginning to think even as WB aggressively marketed DUNE, The Batman seems to surpass that push. It looks like the biggest promotion EVER WB has undertaken since BVS.

This is the reason why I'm solidly confident of the movie whether it's good, bad or average.
Besides Matt Reeves already has a track record of good movies and crowd pleasers. I don't think he'll go a tad wrong in this project — His Biggest!!

This movie will easily do $650mn at worst... Pandemic or not!! Profit nonetheless.
The last time WB was this confident and aggressively promoted a DC flick was a MASTERPIECE!! — Joker. And I don't think I'll be disappointed now.
Even the worst DC movies (remember SS, BVS) that had over $100mn debut domestic weekend has never gone below $650mn. So Stalingrad, I think you just pained here.
No be now wey DC don get some leverage and some faith na em box office go crash on us. Besides... I'm Batman!! and I'm VENGEANCE!!!


Who wan cry make e continue dey wail....
