I'm wondering about the re watchability factor. The dark tone of The Batman may stop some people from attending multiple times. Also, the family factor...do you see families clamoring about a dark batman?

 

TDK wasn't considered a family friendly Batman either but it made 158m 14 years ago. If it's not an R rating, it wont detract from audiences I dont think. Superhero movies open a lot higher in this day an age too and i think the lack of any big event movies near it will help the same way it did for NWH. Those trailers are epic too

Locked to open over $100M, yes. Over $200M? Not at all.

Granted nothing should be called a lock these days. Im predicting good reviews will increase buzz before release.

I didn't realise this poster was official. It's pretty damn ugly. Why can't studios do good posters anymore?

 

Anyway, it occurs to me I'm most looking forward to Carrell's Penguin, of all things. He looks like he's having the time of his life.

Do you think The Batman can beat The Joker INT numbers? (738m)

Thoughts:

 

-Covid means the return of true EVENT FILMS and this will help the Batman as it helped Spider-man. The lack of weekly/bi-weekly blockbuster releases creates a much ore special "event" status for the big ones - feels similar to the 1990 here. This will 100% help BATMAN.

 

-THE BATMAN has had incredible posters aside from that horrible floating heads fan made photoshop.

The "90s VHS Cover" vibes from that poster are off-the-charts. I know nostalgia is all the rage these days but...

Nope. 20-30% less.

Still can't believe that that is Colin Farrell. Wonder if this could win Makeup at the Oscars next year (its better than The Darkest Hour Churchill makeup).

Definitely. It will be among the top contenders. All they will have to do is have Farrell introduce the makeup. Choosing him to play the Penguin is definitely so they have a seasoned awards campaigner push the nomination.

All the other posters are solid. This is the only bad one.

High level execs at Disney did really think that though.

Yeah I’d be in disbelief over that Chloe Zhao script, too

Imagine taking serious that idi#t, he's always getting clowned.

His meltdown over Spider-Man not getting a PGA nom was amazing this past week

 

 

No idea why he was so in the tank for it, but it was crazy.

But it's clear they did believe they had something good in their hands. They sent the movie to a film festival 1 month before it got a wide release, they lifted the embargo early, they were basically putting up an Oscar campaign before the thing came out. They just didn't realize the film would not be that well received.
