I do think they need to fasttrack DCU Batman or merge him, let's hope other projects are good and great and do better and merch for new movie seems to sell so we good for now.

I think if they do cast Pattinson as the DCEU Batman, they need to put him in a different enough looking suit and hint enough at his Gotham being different from the Reeves films that people aren’t confused and still get that it’s an alt universe. Trying to make The Batman and The Penguin’s timelines fit into a universe with tons of existing metahumans is a really bad idea.

That's a dangerous thing to do in the business world. Shareholders will sue if they're led to believe something that isn't the case. A CEO's purpose is to make if it's a publicly traded company and they have to keep the shareholders happy. They don't make as much money as possible or mislead shareholders than they can get sued or forced out. That's why businesspeak is always about downplaying problems or ignoring them. Now he could be happy with the box office for now but if it slows down then he can change his tune later. But he'd still have to let the shareholders know, especially if he's asked by one of them.

never understood this argument, batman in the comics goes from gangsters and crimebosses to having a kid sidekick and eventually more superhero esque

what is the problem with battinson eventually following the same route? the entire point of the world's finest is the dichotomy of their different tones.

It makes sense to a degree. I would never recommend anybody else see a DCUwhatever movie after Man of Steel.

I know at least three people who will ask me if they should see Superman, and I'll be able to tell them yes, without reservation. Keep the core fans happy, and it helps spread it.

Not surprisingly, like most 'basement video game chair analyst' here, you are more wrong than not. Physical media still sells well for genre shit, like SF, fantasy and yes, cape shit, and even to some normies, especially now that they are realizing that shit they may want to watch over and over is not going to stay perpetually on, even with Netflix "originals" or "made" for for Hulu/Disney+ "originals." While you are right, that they don't make the money in sales that they used to to cable channels, selling to Prime, Netflix, even to fucking Ruko and Tubi still nets money. Which is why and how The Batman has ended up on all of those and for sale on Apple iTunes, Google, etc.

And you are again wrong at 'hate rejected' - I won't even argue how since others have already in this thread and other threads this weekend, even if they didn't reply specifically to your stupidity.

>>149382859
>loot the shareholders
Y'all really need to stop talking about shit you know nothing about it. Shareholders loose out when they don't make as much money as they should in dividends and when their stock is depressed. Superman (and by extension DC Studios) doing well and this being recognized publicly should help shore up the stock price, and move it from it's depressed current value. The fact that WB is generally doing better this year, with Minecraft and even by distributing F1 for Apple, and in smaller ways with Sinners, etc., all bode well for the stockholder's stock price. People like Zaslav LOOT the actual company, by taking a $200 bonus payment from WB just for the DISCO joint venture agreement being signed and for getting a bonus for 2024 when it was disastrous for the cable channels and otherwise for the company, Barbie and a few other things notwithstanding. That's partially why his pay was voted down. But that's not, per se, looting the stockholders, especially since it had no impact on dividends and his bonus didn't specifically impact the stock price.

And then he shifts to say "you are killing us" after Superman says he's protecting them. Who does Lex Luther mean by "us"? Why does he say that with anger and desperation as he says that Superman, again, is saving everyone? He didn't mean humanity, he meant him and his peers. The economic and political elite, the only ones Superman has threatened in this movie.

He's not coping in that moment. He already said the bit about envy. He's being honest, no need to dress anything up. Saying "you're killing us" isn't fancy, it's just a lie. A weird lie considering everyone is seeing Superman saving everyone. The only way it's true is if Lex is pointing out what's been happening throughout the movie and what the US government guys grumble about in the end; the corporate and political elite are losing relevance.
