WittyUsername 2,311 Posted July 23, 2020 From what we know about this movie so far, it seems like more of an October film than a December film, but it’s up to WB. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
belblazer 929 Posted July 23, 2020 I would love to see this on Xmas. Now I'm curious for the new Aquaman and Black Adam dates. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WittyUsername 2,311 Posted July 24, 2020 I say just keep this in October at this point, unless filming gets pushed back even further. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m guessing we’ll hear more about release dates at the Fandome event. Technically if black Adam could finish filming in March they could keep the December date as well but I doubt they’ll wanna do that also. Interesting times we’re in now lol 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That said, WB should still put The Batman there. Spider-man will move. Still just crazy, though unsurprising, incompetence by wb here.

excel1 1,737 Posted July 24, 2020 WB needs to just sell DC at this point. They get Batman right occasionally by luck with director picks. Everything else is a mess. Waited months hoping Christmas would open up only to fucking blow it? This is sad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are conflating what you want with what they want. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They should want to position the film to maximum dollars. So much rides on the financial performance of these movies - poor release strategy is totally inexcusable. We saw how poorly chosen release dates dramatically affected the box office Batman Begins, Superman Returns, Man of Steel, and Justice League. We saw how drastically things quickly changed - for the worse - when Man of Steel "underperformed" in the awful release date it was given. To think we almost did not receive THE DARK KNIGHT because Batman Begins was a disappointment, obvious to the fact that sandwiching it between Mr. and Mrs. Smith and War of The World hurt it severely. I won't make excuses for wanting these films to make maximum dollars and expecting the studios to show competent ability to position the film to do so. Disney has had no issue doing it with their Marvel films, it is simply inexcusable and unacceptable for WB to not do the same. And to anyone who may say "BUTBUTBUTBUTBUT Joker just made $1 billion in that spot!" And? The Batman is 2021's most talked about movie by a mile. Claiming the 12/17 release date basically cements it as the biggest hit of 2021 domestically and very likely globally too. Opening it on October 1 is a ridiculous limitation of its huge potential. I've followed these long enough. I don't know why WB even bothers with this shit if they're not interested in making maximum dollars. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grim22 68,714 Posted July 24, 2020 @excel1 everyone gets your point (even if they don't agree). Drop the "This should be a Christmas release" rant going forward, or you will be threadbanned for derailments. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

belblazer 929 Posted August 7, 2020 He'll probably show some official looks for Batman, Catwoman, Riddler, Penguin etc. But trailer only in December I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
