 While I know that this movie has made money for the studio (3.8x production budget), it failed to reach the monetary levels of Batman V Superman (is sitting about $120 million behind, which it will not fully make up since it has gone to streaming).  Since Batman got top billing in BvS and also was in at least 1/2 the movie, I'd say it was at least as much a Batman movie as it was a Superman movie.  So serious question, is the "studio" (especially the new owners) disappointed in how this film did?  I mean Spiderman did damn near $2 billion, so I dare anyone to throw out the "pandamic thing", that excuse is played.  I feel that Dr. Strange is going to make at least $1 Billion, so why didn't Batman, the flagship DC character not make $1 Billion, or even beat the box office of the last "Batman" film in 2016?

Honestly I don't think Batman is seen as kid friendly.  I saw Spidey and Batman in the theater, Spiderman was half kids half adults and when I saw Batman there were, count them, zero kids in the theater.  

Was just browsing around on whatnot today.  I'm flabbergasted at the prices some of these people were paying.  Watched books I can regularly buy for 5 bucks selling for 30 to 50.  I have to assume some of these buyers are people the dealer knows that are trying to become their best friend lol.  The one dealer has a good idea, get a pretty girl to do your auction and men will bid thinking she might date them, at least that has to be why the quarter bin books are being bought up from her.  

It didn't make a gazillion dollars What a failure!!

Does the book sit flat ?  It appears to look wavy....

It was on a white cardboard that was wavy 

Maybe not the best pics but mostly wondering how the minor foxing affects the grade.  Only a couple small spine tics but the foxing is what worries me the most.  Thanks in advance.

What are the people that always complain about a movie's length doing with that hour they could have back??  I'm sure their time is soooo important.  I really hate hearing about a films length.  You know ahead of time and if you can't sacrifice the whole 3 hours of your time maybe stay home.

Very nice work.

Yeah I like it.  Magicnerd was unsure as well but he said he had previously purchased it from Shadow Images.  Maybe he would know!!

Got this as part of my mystery box from Manicnerd.  Any idea who the artist is??

Talk about killing the value of a book fast.  Not sure what his thoughts were unless he's happy with $10-20 a book.  If he played it right he could have made much more in my opinion.

Ok the link didn't work but some guy threw 50+ copies of Fist of Khonshu 2 up at a starting bid of 9.99 each.

Sorry wrong place

Dont worry I have plenty of Strawberry Shortcake, Barbie, and Sleepwalker issues in there
as well. They might be hot in 10 more years. 

 

Lol Sleepwalker is hot now.

Yes it is I believe.  

What's the top grade you believe this can get.  It has this single one spine tick and it's hard to see the bottom right corner but it has a faint line where it must have had a fold.  

The only thing I find wildly fanciful in this thread is that silver has friends. 

Thanks.  No doubt they were legit I just wondered if they were included.   I see it in your description now so I guess I don't read well lol.
