Film's made over $500 million since its release and likely going to do well till mid-April due to lack of competition.
Already broke a few all-time Warner Bros studios records so far. Quote:
Ben Affleck also teased recently he's currently working on a script for a new Batman film not part of the two Batman-related films already announced. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/ben.../1100-6436151/ |

Thought I read it was confirmed the script he and Geoff Johns were working is in fact a solo Batman outing. I'd love something similar in tone to The Town.
Glad to hear he may be on board for a solo adventure as, despite having a bad characterization, I found Affleck to have done pretty well in his Batman debut. |

Think he's been doing it as a side project but right now Warner Bros only has him guaranteed for Bats vs Sups film and both Justice League films. Doubt they are going to reject his script offer unless both Justice League films tank badly.

I'd think they'd be more hell bent on pushing the script through if JL did bomb based on both Affleck being universally praised for his performance and the fact that his personal projects have been stellar of late.

I'd like to see them play with the multivariate. If superman was to go bad and they had to go to another universe and get another Superman. Could use the Superman from Supergirl since his face hasn't been on the show. Probably just wishful thinking though.

I could see it being referenced in a Flash movie or something but as far as TV Flash showing up on the movie screen I can't see that. Would be cool though.

It's the Flash, dude can run through different universes, it not out of the realm of possibilities that he mentions seeing another Flash or something like that. They exist together in the multiverse.

DC's chief creative officer said that the multi-verse is a thing. That they look at the TV shows, movies, etc as all existing in the multi-verse alongside one another. I wouldn't be surprised to see DC try dipping their toes in it at some point, especially since they seem to want to differentiate themselves from Marvel. Besides we've already seen multi-verse stuff in the TV shows. If they were willing to do it there I don't see why they wouldn't be willing in the movies.

Just got back from seeing this, I really enjoyed it but feel they tried to cram far too much into the two and a half hours. Affleck was a decent Batman but no where near the best (Bale is IMO). Wonder Woman didn't do much for me other than provide eye candy, wouldn't have missed her if she wasn't in it.

Twas very stuffed indeed.
On the multi verse stuff, I think that's just lip service to the fans. They've gone out of their way to dismiss Green Arrow, who fits well enough into this darker, more brooding D.C. universe, and Flash, who's fun and likeable. They'll probably play with that stuff in animation but mine and Kalyx's dream of three supermen going after rogue Dean Cain is likely just that. Twas also confirmed via Affleck's agent I believe that he has indeed penned and finished a "really cool" Batman script. Kevin Smith claims Affleck avoided all of the pitfalls of BvS and took reviews to heart. If true, I'd imagine WB will give Affleck the Nolan treatment and auto green light any passion project Affleck wants to do if it means he'll poor his heart and sole into Batman. |

Say what you will, but Affleck is a really good writer and director. I'd like to see his take on Batman.

Going to watch it tomorrow; I get the impression that if I go in with low expectations, I will enjoy the film.

You will. Thanks to rotten tomatoes that's how I went in and I did enjoy myself.
I don't think anyone will deny Affleck is a strong film maker. |

Didn't like this. Too boring in the beginning. They didn't make it an epic moment when Superman and Batman first cross paths. The fact that they tried cramming too much in the first half made it not interesting to the point where stuff wasn't making sense.
Did Lex luthor have the Jokers mannerisms in the comics? He reminded me of the Joker with the hair and all. Gal did better than I thought, she has that perfect face for wonder woman so no problem there. |

Saw it yesterday. Beginning is slow build (understandable) I did enjoy Affleck's Batman but there are a lot of things that that felt rushed or squeezed in.
Overall I liked it ok I didn't have a huge problem with Batman ditching his one rule. Luthor was....interesting not really like the joker IMO and he does have unsettling moments in his quirkiness. Its actually a really dour film while I like that but I can understand why other people want levity in their Superhero films. If we could just splice Nolan and Snyder. |

Made less that $60 mil over the weekend, US box office. Set a record for one of the largest percentage drops. Also had a near record opening weekend drop from Friday- Sunday.
It had zero competition this weekend. |

Was talking to people at work about the film and we all agreed that there is no reason to see this film again after seeing it the first time, which seems to be the general feeling.

Blockbuster shut down man. Repeat views WITHOUT PAYING the late fees is why we can't have Blockbuster. Bee Kind, Please Rewind (for Shisen's sake).

Yeah, Destor is right. I went in expecting to hate the movie and came out with one of the most positive views on it on this entire forum. If you set your expectations as low as humanly possible you'll have fun... That sounds so fucked up that you can say that about a Batman vs Superman movie.

Apparently a deleted scene for the film would have made Superman seem more darker as a character since it would imply he's very selective on who gets saved from danger and he needs to be in the mood to do so.
Zack Synder tried to imply Superman would probably be dealing with mental breakdowns if he was always in a life saving mood. http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/zack...g-too-dark-760 |

One of the few ideas of Zack I agree with. Clark can't literally save everyone but he could very much hear any emergency in Metropolis. The only logical end is he does choose based on whatever criteria he feels is a 'Code Superman'.
And if anybody wants to rip the scene; Bryan Singer filmed exactly this in 'Returns. |
