Yep. All of the bad reviews, criticism and it still out did a very popular X-Men franchise this year. Obviously Batman's cameo and Joker's very small role had something to do with it, but I think money talks. DC movies can and will make money.

This should be good news if you're a DC fan. Whether you like the movies or not. For those that like them, that's great. For those that don't, you can hope for changes in the future. I do know that they hear the VERY LOUD complaints and that changes have been made. Whether they're the right ones, we'll have to see. I will continue to show optimism for the future and look forward to DC movies coming out next year.

Wonder Woman looks great.

We haven't seen much of JL, but I like what I've seen. The new Batman cowl, more color, and Flash being clean cut are some very minor things that can help. Now, on the other hand, Cyborg looking much more straight forward than the freak of nature they had planed for him was a nice improvement, IMO.




Now we have:


And the absolute #1 reason to continue to have faith, ZACK SNYDER has a VERY limited role in things right now.

We've already seen recently a big announcement with Doug Liman doing Dark Justice League. Expect more real soon. Expect more news for the Man of Steel sequel very soon.


We'll just have to see. As I've said, I will always have faith.

Only time will tell, though. For those that really care about the characters, here's to hope:

How much did they need to break even?

Agreed - i mean if DC can weather the shite storm people put the last 2 movies in, they have a chance to recover rather solidly and make great superhero films.

I only hope that DC eventually makes a teen titans movie. Then I'd be super excited about DC compared to marvel. However, I am very excited about JL.

The changes they made hurt this movie. I want to see David Ayers' original version. They need to hire good directors and let them work, or hire a Kevin Feige type guy with a singular vision that can guide the entire DCU. I still liked Suicide Squad but it could have been better.

I'm not surprised. It wasn't a great movie, but it certainly isnt as bad as some people made it out to be.

I hope DC does well enough to give me another Green Lantern. Justice League just feels odd without Hal.

I'm really surprised it did this well.

Maybe now that DC has dodged the box office bullet from BvS and SS, they can settle the frick down and try to make good movies.

I think 600 million is break even territory. And Wb don't make these films to barely break even.

DC is the Walmart of movies.

Big, impersonable, lacking in quality, and flocked to by hordes.

Meh,

Everyone was beating their dick off to it crushing the August opening set by Guardians of the Galaxy.

Now it looks like it will fall 100 million of it. 600 Million is nothing to turn your nose up at, but considering the opening it had this film should have done better.
