No not any movie but its certainly more common now. It really depends on what the writers idea of a mega hit is, so it's hard to write off an opinion like that

Uhhhh besides NWH literally nothing has done a billion. We're not in 2019 anymore, otherwise The Batman probably could've done a billion in a healthy box office era.

I was just paraphrasing lol. What she actually said was even dumber like "The new goalpost for blockbusters is 2 billion, not even 1 billion anymore"

If it costs 350m to produce and advertise then she is right going by the general rule

Its only been half a year since cinemas have been at full capacity and in that time we've had NWH only miss 2b due to a non china release. No other movie released during that time frame was ever looking like it could top 1b, even in 2019. In hindsight, The Batman was clearly never making 1b after the stigma of Snyder, just like how TSS suffered from its predecessor. It had nothing to do with the era and this will be proven when DS, Thor, BP and maybe JW top a billion this year too, followed by a 2b+ grosser from Avatar later down the line.

There's no way to compare The Batman with these films mentioned, Marvel is making a big effort for Doctor Strange 2 to cross the 1 Billion mark, it will fill the film with cameos to repeat the success of No Way Home.

Thor Love and Thunder making 1 billion? Remembering that to reach this mark it took 4 films, let's see if they'll make it

 

The Batman is a solo film, with no support from "universes".

Pretty sure most of the marketing budget got covered with tie ins and such, even eternals got 100mil from that, batman definitely got that much atleast

This was like... 100x better than the scene in the film lol. 

[AnDr3s]

they should've add this scene to the original cut 100%

does it matter 3 minutes more just delete the other joker scene and we good

[MOVIEGUY]

Not a bad scene. I like the dynamic they have there but the performance feels a bit Ledger-y

[WittyUsername]

Yeah, I don’t see why they scrapped this scene in favor of the one we got in the finished movie,

Not a bad scene on it's own, but I think it was a smart decision (narrative wise, not box office wise) to cut it. It's too derrivate in my opinion.

[TheDude391]

Really dislike this Joker so far. Reminds me of the New52 run where they’re trying SO HARD to make him grotesque and scary but it’s just lame and try hard. 

[BruiseCruise]

Honestly there's no need for Joker in the Reeves movies, use the others in the rogues gallery

[Lucas]

I see people saying they should've scrapped the scene in the movie and go with this one instead and it's like... the point of the scene in the movie isn't that character, it's the narrative conclusion of the other character.

[MrGamer]

This Batman can solve many of his problems by pushing that dude down some steps.

[Coneilg93]

Trending #1. Joker is a big sell. WB testing the waters to see how people will react to this new joker. They could’ve easily waited for the DVD release.
