Wasn't this rumored at only being 100-120 prior?

185 was TDKs budget. That 185 sounds more realistic than 100-120

That's more like it.

Hate Mendelson but if Forbes can't get access to budget numbers no one can, and this sounds reasonable. The idea that WB would spend less in The Batman than in The Suicide Squad was always insanity.

The COVID stuff and delays could have boosted budget on this, I don't know

I think it will increase a lot the interest to see the movie on the first week. Or maybe because of spoilers.

There’s no better way to increase interest in a movie than to let positive word of mouth spread.

People latched onto that 100M number but for a movie of this size with all those Covid delays, that always seemed way too low.

$185 is actually quite low for 2022 tentpole film. TDKR was $250m ten years ago.

that was the blockbuster finale to a highly successful franchise with TDK being the most successful - critically acclaimed, highest grossing superhero film ever(at that time 2011). this is the first film of an entirely new franchise so $185m is fair, also this film is more of a detective/noir film heavy on dialogue, and TDKR was a straight action film- had several explosive set pieces for a finale. Also they had to pay the stars more - Bale, Hardy, Hathaway and Levitt, Freeman, michael caine & cotillard were at the very top ensemble possible, this film doesnt have any big name stars or a big ensemble to that extent. Lead pattinson is still relatively young, inexpensive and been in a lot of indie films, lead villain isnt an expensive to hire actor- paul dano, lead actress zoe kravitz's first lead actress blockbuster role(she was a minor support in mad max previously). colin farrell has a minor role apparently.

... Isn't this pretty much exactly a social media reaction?

This tweet got over 3,000 likes. I wouldn’t be surprise if WB allow social media reactions some time this upcoming week.

£90-110 million. £, not dollars.

How does this movie cost almost as much as No Way Home?

Well, it looks way better than NWH.

I get the feeling this will be like the Joker, with Batman depressed and all that stuff. I think that will help the movie break out more. Pre sales are good, but once the great reviews are released, this could really explode
