Wb has now confirmed that Superman doesn’t need to make money for it to be a success, it just needed to rebuild turn in dc.

If making money is not a goal why did they can the previous DCU?

>>212706481 (OP)
The DCU being separate from The Batman and Penguin is enough for me to never watch it. I like good cinematography and good actors in my cape slop, which is the complete opposite of what Gunn delivers.

>>212706481 (OP)
Yes it doesn't need to make a dime, they're just making it for the love of film making

>If making money is not a goal why did they can the previous DCU?
They were flopping big time towards the end, and I guess cause they wanted BvS and JL to do one billion and when they didn't viewed the films themselves as the flaws and this go around a sub 500 million Superman gets pinned on brand tarnishment from Snyder era.

>>212706510
Because WB cares more about online reviews than making money

>>212706635
The DCEU started to bomb after Geoff Johns and Gunn got involved and tried to make it more Marvel-lite

>Superman doesn’t need to make money for it to be a success, it just needed to rebuild turn in dc.
Here we go again

>>212706481 (OP)
I can't wait for the next entry to make less money so they'll feel like they're back at square zero, again. WB is run by retards.

>>212706643
Which is the way all studios should be run

>>212706510
>why did they can
ESL pls go

>>212706710
Why was the best-performing DCEU movie the one that was the least like a Snyder movie?

How did you condense three words into one, Ranjit?

Let me play the devil's advocate.
As long Superman isn't a Flash-tier bomb, "a modest success" that just falls short of breaking even, with positive social media buzz is good enough for Warner, because it shows that they have an audience who wants more content, which pays off in the long term. They can tank a loss if it means they can build a stable "consumer base" like the MCU has which translates in bigger successes in the future.

is this a caricature?

>IT DOESN'T NEED TO MAKE MONEY TO BE A SUCCESS

>The audience has superhero fatigue
>No one is interested in Superman
>People won't see a non-MCU James Gunn movie
>No one will be buying advance tickets to Superman
>The theaters will be empty like some recent films
>The critic score on Rotten Tomatoes will be completely rotten
>The audience score on Rotten Tomatoes will be completely rotten
>The box office will be a disaster on the first weekend
>Superman 2025 will do badly in the domestic market opening week
>Superman 2025 will not make the same amount as Man of Steel's opening week

What's the next copium now

>>212706481 (OP)
It never needed to make money, just restore the brand.

>>212706481 (OP)
where in the OP pic does he say that?

>>212706481 (OP)
Based zaslav

>>212707028
Supergirl also doesn't need to make money because it's just a spinoff

>>212706635
SuperPaedo won't make a billion dollars either.

>>212707028
What brand lmao

>>212707081
And Clayface doesn't need to make money because it's just another villain movie like venom.

Really no DC movie needs to make money because they're not made by Snyder

>>212707003
>The audience has superhero fatigue
Correct
>No one is interested in Superman
Correct
>People won't see a non-MCU James Gunn movie
Correct
>Superman 2025 will do badly in the domestic market opening week
Correct
>Superman 2025 will not make the same amount as Man of Steel's opening week
Correct

Just because Snyder's movies were terrible does not mean Gunn's are any better, Rajesh. Keep coping, though, while all true Superman fans are rewatching Donner's movies as we speak.
