Avengers VS Batman

[Kevin76]

"He's still human after all"

 

Batman 89 is so awful, I didn't like it that much when I saw it in the theater. Same way I felt after Spider-Man 1. Didn't live up to expectations. Spider-Man 2 however did.

#144 Batman $411.3 M (Prince rules!!!)

 

Watched this the other day on DVD. It still is a great movie!

 

 

Yep.

 

It's such a fun movie.

Batman Begins got messed up by Batman And Robin. A lot of people are less inclined to go out to the movies when the previous entry is so bad.

 

Also, with the older batman movies, international box office wasn't as big back then. If you compare the domestic adjusted for inflation numbers, Batman is a lot closer to TDK, $498 mill to 588.

I remember Batman as being the first movie that I went to that was playing on multiple screens at the same theater. Before it, all the big movies ended up with crazy lines. Now they just show the blockbusters on more screens so you rarely have a real pile-up.

 

It was huge for its time.

Batman v The Joker. The biggest pulling téte à téte in comicdom.

They created the "12 cert" especially for this movie and it remained ever since.

Also, Iron Man is a billion dollar plus property.

 

Makes the $4 billion that Disney paid for Marvel seem like a helluva deal in retrospect.

 

The Marvel movies in this thread alone have grossed roughly $3.5 B.

Really good point!

 

Disney bought a portfolio of proven and world-recognized characters that they can tap into for years ahead.

 

All they have to do is apply what they learned between the non-Marvel movie efforts (e.g. John Carter) and Marvel-focused movies (e.g. Avengers build-up movies, Avengers), and ensure the Marvel characters go down the right path.

Will Disney do anything to try and get hold of the other Marvel licences, i.e. Spider-Man, FF & X-Men?

I think the other studios have a deal where if they don't put out a new movie in a specific amount of time, the license reverses back to marvel. But of course Sony already has the next two spideys planned and fox has the wolverine and xmen first class 2 planned.
