So it should have made almost 200 million more than Civil War made domestically?


You must've missed the previous threads on this. Suicide Squad features Batman and Joker which should result in a billion dollar revenue base

Totally disagree here. I'm upper 40's, was a huge DC fan growing up, and I like superhero (and other blockbuster) movies.

That said, Marvel has the marquee characters and actors right now. I don't really care about Batman nearly as much as Chris Evans' Capt America or Robert Downey's Tony Stark/Iron Man.
I wasn't that impressed with the way Nolan ended the last Batman trilogy, and this isn't even the same character. If anything, I like Affleck's Batman more than Bale's... but I'm not yet invested the way I am in the Marvel characters. I'm interested in the way the DC characters will develop, but I'm HUNGRY for the continuation of the Marvel guys. And that's as a DC fan.

And besides, Suicide Squad doesn't "feature" Batman and Joker, it has cameos of them, to tie them into the broader story. It's like saying Ant-Man "featured" the Avengers because he raided their base and Falcon made an onscreen appearance, or Deadpool featured the X-Men because of Colossus (or whoever that guy is).
