Btw, an R-rated Director's Cut has been confirmed!
A bit off topic but I keep hearing how Deadpool was the first rated R comic book movie. But there was The Crow, Blade. And I believe that Spawn was also rated R.

I doubt it will add any real maturity to the story though. It simply means more blood and Batman may drop a few F-bombs. And we might see Aquaman's bare bottom.
You'd rather have Joss? (No thanks.) Shane Black...?! (Oh, HELL, no!) The guy who made that Dark World clusterf*ck?
All of those hampered by studio notes. WB is slowing free reign, almost too much and a reliance on a huge second film rather than hitting doubles and singles.
Yea, but it is also collectively their 15th big screen appearance, with no cinematic build leading into the premise.
The only "build" you need is found in the title. Oh, PLUS two more words: Wonder Woman.

That's what they say about CBMs, and then another comes out and makes a bunch of money.

Most people feel otherwise, from what I gather.

I don't think Spider-Man is bigger than Batman, not at this stage. They shuffle back and forth. Marvel pulling silly stunts like Superior Spider-Man and Spider-Gwen is proof enough.
If you don't think Star Wars fatigue will ever set in, you just wait until Disney's cranked out enough of those. They plan to not let a year go by without releasing one. I don't know about you, but I tire of the "chosen one/padawan" tropes. Maybe Rogue One will be more interesting.

I think Game of Thrones showed Jason's rear, if you want to check that out, Mark. I don't judge!
Yes, it'll be more violent, but I don't think it'll be about F-bombs.

Don't forget, people have raved over both Suicide Squad trailers. And then there's Wonder Woman. There's plenty of interest in the DCEU.
The Avengers happened after four movies: Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Thor and Captain America: TFA.
Justice League will also follow four movies: MoS, BvS, SS and Wonder Woman.
Relax, Fans: 'Batman V Superman' Won't Flop, Despite Rumors

Let’s skip box office for a moment and go to merchandising, to make a point. On home entertainment release worldwide, there will be Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital-HD sales and rentals. Let’s just use the figures for Man of Steel, which got mixed critical and audience reactions — that film snagged perhaps $200+ million in global sales for Blu-ray and DVD alone. Digital-HD sales, plus all rentals for the film across platforms, should add at least another $100 million to the tally (these aren’t precise figures in every case, I’m extrapolating and relying on other data I’ve seen, and using conservative estimates). So we’ll go with a simple $300 million for home entertainment.

With about $400 million invested, Batman v Superman theoretically needs a worldwide box office cume in the neighborhood of $800+ million to break even.
No problem.

Well, since fans love comparisons, try this on for size: Man of Steel made more money than any of the solo character Marvel films up to that point, except for Iron Man 3. To date, only three of the entire non-Avengers slate of Marvel films have made more box office than Man of Steel — Iron Man 3, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Guardians of the Galaxy. The other seven Marvel solo character films all took less than Man of Steel, and that’s despite the advantage of having an entire universe built up and sequels and Avengers coattails. I’m not trash-talking Marvel, as I love Marvel and they clearly are the champs of superhero cinema right now, and they’re success is phenomenal. I’m just saying, for anyone who likes to imagine Man of Steel was just some failure upon which no success could be built, that’s nothing but a fantasy.

Nope. If a filmmaker wants me to care about two people punching each other, then I need to care about the people first. Otherwise, it’s like watching a video game. Which pretty well describes your average Zack Snyder movie.

Spider-Man is the world’s most popular super hero. The competition doesn’t even come close. He buries everyone else and then some.
Batman is DC’s most popular super hero, but he is far, far, far behind Spidey.
Batman V. Superman will be a success, the issue is the degree that it will be.
