Maybe some people should remember that 4 Batman films beat the OW record. I actually agree, only if it’s Phoenixs joker obviously. I’m not sure we’d see a 300m opening lol but if the Batman receives good reactions and wom is good a movie with those two would be huge even though it will never happen.

BruiseCruise Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 The Flash movie causes ripples in the multiverse and joins up timelines which leads to Joaquins joker landing in Pattinsons gotham, boom there's your chance at catching no way home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he's not getting cast and it's annoying people keep saying "lol Joaquamole Phoenix needs to beat up Battinson in the next one". They're from different timelines, and I don't think Joaquamole would say yes anyways. It's just irritating people keep saying they want something that will never happen. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, it is absolutely annoying that people on a box office forum speculate about the insane financial potential of Batman facing Joker using the characters 2 most recent actors... You're "I don't think Joaquamole would say yes" is every bit as speculatory as those thinking it could happen. It could 100% absolutely happen, and the opening weekend would be insane.

excel1 Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Uncharted big over performance just reinforces the notion that movie goers are starved and event style films are going to overperform bigly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you know The Flash makes it possible. Anyway, I agree that it is extremely unlikely. Maybe 1% possible. Or less. But just imagine for one second it could happen... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21C Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 8 hours ago, Macleod said: She's doing that entirely on purpose, of course, to intimidate the Penguin into working with her -- and yes, because she's clearly not operating at 100% sanity. It's probably also a reference to 1942's "Cat People" -- where the lead character, who is mentally disturbed, kills her own bird, then feeds it to a panther. Catwoman was introduced in the comics just a year or two prior. While some could argue that that Batman Returns contains elements of camp, I would argue it is not "extremely campy"...at least not in tone. Nolan's movies contain equally strange elements. Take another look at the scene between Joker and Two-Face: two extremely disfigured crazy dudes, one dressed in a nurse outfit, discuss their trauma/worldly philosophies? Tom Hardy's Bane is also pretty flamboyant in personality! You need to understand these films in their historical era/context. But practically no one disagrees that both of Schumacher's follow-ups ARE extremely campy in overall tone, mise-en-scene, and aesthetic, and consciously so (and that doesn't necessarily make them inferior, just...very different.) Catwoman's origin in Batman Returns is that she gets resurrected by cats. There's nothing in the Nolan films as strange and yes, campy, as that. It's dark camp but it's definitely camp and that's what makes it enjoyable. Are you seriously gonna argue that a climax that involves penguins with explosives marching through the streets is not campy as hell? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragoncaine Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) If Uncharted is heading for $400-450m, is anyone here still doubting that The Batman grosses $800m WW at the absolute minimum?

But agreed, she was good. Michelle is just peak though. Iconic. Looking forward to Zoë. Just watched Kimi and she’s excellent. Harry Potter isn’t for me, but I’ve seen her in Big Little Lies, Mad Max, Rough Night etc. A couple of short scenes for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker did almost the same as NWH in countries like Germany and France and even more in Spain, Italy and Netherlands (according to BOM and TN). The biggest difference in the continent was in the UK: Joker $73M and NWH $126M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a bit optimistic but like, it wouldn't even be super surprising if it hit these numbers. My personal numbers are a bit different but not much (370, 550, 130). Also they equal $1.18B and not $1.16B 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
