WB would rather make a teen titans go movie then a real teen titans movie and a superman sequal. They must think joker sells more than batman. it's like the person behind the scenes is a 70 yr old fart who thinks he knows what people want. Yes Joker movies! Thats what the kids want. Rated R harley movie. YES! **** the characters that made us millions. joker and Harley are our main focus. Two characters that work best with batman. It's like Sony is sleeping with WB and they both give eachother buissness adivice. Bad advice. It's crazy how the MCU is making everyone else fumble with comic properties. Fox and DC were killing it back in the day.
I disagree for quite a few reasons, First Class did quite well and that was while MCU was still young with only TIH, Thor, IM, IM2, and CA: TFA; which honestly all did mediocre except for Iron Man (box office wise, I enjoy all of them). Days of Future Past did pretty well especially considering how they had a great team flick that released after both Avengers. As for WB, BvS was not a failure. Sure they wanted to hit 1B, but MCU did that AFTER making 5 solo movies before teaming them all for the Avengers. BvS did all that with only one film, which was conflicting for the audience. Honestly, yes they went too quick, had they did MoS, and WW, and probably a Batman flick, BvS would have been up there next to Avengers. Release a Flash and Aquaman film, then JL, you would have gotten something close to IW in my opinion. I mean honestly, none of the DC movies did horribly, box office wise, except for JL.
I see nothing wrong with them building this type of universe, as Fox-Men did it with having the original cast of X-Men and now this new younger counterpart, which if Apocalypse did a bit better, would have been fantastic. I'm all for a new Joker, considering I find it hypocritical and hilarious that I see so many people ***** about it, yet also hate Leto, and then when there is no Joker, they get pissed. So which is it? I mean, Phoenix will probably be a more Jack Nicholson/80's Joker, so that should satisfy all those wanting a classic Joker. Love Leto's take, but I'm all for seeing Phoenix as well.
Allowing these duplicates also allows for potential in multiverse and time travel arcs, yet I bet when Avengers Pt.2 comes out and has time travel undo most of the event, everyone will give it a pass, but **** DC for trying to introduce their stories?
