If this film achieves $800-$900M as a new standalone franchise they are in a really strong spot. China sounds to be less of a large-scale contributor at this point.

But people (including myself and others here) are indeed seeing it multiple times. On the second viewing: Action scenes are cooler. Movie drags a lot. So, in my experience, the movie doesn't really improve with a re-watch. The good parts feel more awesome, and the bad parts just feel worse. It just feels like a much longer movie the 2nd time.

eastriver400 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 I wonder if it wasn't going to HBO if it would have eventually reached a Billion WW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman hit 2.5x ($500M) as of yesterday. It will clearly break on through past 2.8x and then some. It does not have to hit $1B to be successful at this point in its franchise lifecycle. eastriver400 and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke as a Joke Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Saw this over the weekend with the family. It was long and I was quite bored at times. Pattinson didn't work for me, wife thought the same. Kids liked it so I guess it was worth going but I have no inclination to rewatch it. Still waiting for the definitive Batman movie.

theCapraAegagrus Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Pattinson probably would have worked perfectly for me if; A. He actually got buff, or they excluded the shirtless shots, and; B. Bruce Wayne had a personality and/or developed one during this movie. When Pattinson was wearing the cowl, he was great. It's just such a mixed bag of a movie for me.

chrisco37 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 He looked to be in good shape to me. He wasn't jacked, but he was lean/cut up. What did you think of Michael Keaton? He didn't look like he could kick anyone's arse and he played Batman. jsilverjanet, Larryw7 and Bosco685 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 Okay, that's a first if my memory serves me right. The actor immersed himself so much in the Riddler role, he has written a comic book entitled Riddler: Year One. eastriver400 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
