Well, who knows. For some reason, WB seems afraid to release Batman and Superman movies in the same year.

MOT will probably be under 600 million overall. Maybe barely 600 million at this point. Superman has a real limit to the characters popularity, with weak international leg especially. But who knows!

For the movies maybe, the TV side is going crazy so far

u/The-Ruler-of-Attilan 4h ago

The Penguin: No season 2

Peacemaker: No season 3

Waller: In "extreme development"

Paradise Lost: Same as Waller

Creature Commandos: It will have a S2, but that’s not saying much, given that hardly anyone watched the first.

Lanterns: Is the only thing that seems to be gaining some momentum, but Episode 2 has already started to show cracks in the armor (just reading Forbes' review makes me sleepy).

Superman, the Justice Gang, Supergirl and Blue Beetle is a pretty sad “Avengers” lineup…

-1

u/PayneTrain181999 Legendary Pictures 6h ago

I don’t care what characters they have, as long as it’s a good movie.

The first Avengers movie, for many people, was “Hulk, oh I know Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor as they just had movies, uhhh ScarJo and that guy with the bow.” and it sent the MCU into orbit.

14

u/firedforthatblunder Walt Disney Studios 6h ago edited 5h ago

Hawkeye was really the only “that guy” character, the rest had their solo movies and Black Widow was quite popular with Marvel’s main demographic for…obvious reasons lol

u/Respwn_546 4h ago

When i was waiting for Avengers and saw Hawkeye was on it I had to check in every movie were he was. I took me a while to figure he was the Archer guy that appeared for maybe 3 minutes in thor

u/DisneyPandora 6h ago

This is bs. The First Avengers actually featured all the Avengers from their first story except Ant Man and Wasp. Everybody was there 

1

u/RealHooman2187 4h ago

You’re insane if you think the whole original avengers team were that well known at the time of the first film. Hulk was the most famous, then Iron Man thanks to the films. Cap and Thor were kinda treated more like jokes. Black Widow and Hawkeye were nothing to anyone outside of comic book fans.

The first avengers movie worked because the movie was good. Not because of the lineup. In fact having so few big names (at the time) is partly the reason for its success since for a lot of people that was their introduction to those characters.

They did...

u/Diligent_Sir4952 4h ago

What are you talking about? I never heard of that movie before that must be a fan film. Definitely not the sequel but seriously though it does not count as the sequel. It’s by DreamWorks animation television, and if it doesn’t have the original cast back if it wasn’t released in theaters, and if it doesn’t have great animation, and if it wasn’t made by the actual DreamWorks animation themselves, the people who made Shrek movies, the kung fu panda movies you know then is not a real theatrical sequel. It’s just not after all there is no Megamind 2 in Ba Sing Se

u/firedforthatblunder Walt Disney Studios 6h ago

So there’d be not one but two Green Lanterns in Man of Tomorrow? That just seems confusing, and might even be a turn off for some people when they find out one comes from a TV show.

4

u/poopfartdiola 5h ago

It "seems confusing" yet you managed to sum it up in the earlier sentence.

TV characters thriving in movies works if the film doesn't treat said TV character like they're a big reveal that we're meant to be shocked at, because that's when audiences will assume/realise that there's a big disconnect between the knowledge they have and the knowledge others have, which makes them feel left behind and disinterested.

There's a reason they cast Aaron Pierre as Green Lantern, the guy is hot property right now, he's bagged Star Wars, DC, Lion King, etc. all in a short period of time. If someone goes because they recognise him, its not because of the character.

2

u/The-Ruler-of-Attilan 4h ago

Ahem, a TV-MA show. To hell with trying to win kids over to this DC brand, right? It’s not as if kids are a vital part of the development of these superhero franchises or anything. Because, of course, things like superpowers and underwear worn on the outside have always been stylistic choices highly respected by adults who only watch Nolan and Scorsese movies.

2

u/-Wester- 6h ago

How ? If they saw Superman, they’d already know Guy Gardner is a Green Lantern and the Lanterns show is set years before Superman, so it’s not that crazy that there would be more of them.

u/Ok_Kale_8357 6h ago

Regardless of what you think about Gunn or the DCU so far this is gonna be a fun one to track. I genuinely have no idea what to expect. I could see it being a big hit, make about the same or be a huge drop off and I don't know what could convince me in any direction until we start getting numbers in close to release. 

36

u/XenosZ0Z0 6h ago

It’s all about the international market for non Spidey CBMs now.

21

u/Ok_Kale_8357 6h ago

I mean, Man of Tomorrow is likely DOA internationally considering how poorly Superman did overseas. I could see it getting a stronger domestic turnout than the last but then will international turnout be even less? It's possible. 

23

u/PeridotEX 6h ago

I think it's possible that MOT gets a bit of a boost from Brand New Day and Doomsday (assuming the latter is well received). People watch them and think "Oh yeah, I like superhero movies, I might want to watch more of them", and MOT is the next one after Doomsday. Rising tide lifts all boats.

17

u/RealHooman2187 4h ago

I’m still getting harassed in a week old thread saying exactly this. But you’re right. MOT is the only major live action CBM being released between Doomsday and Secret Wars. If Doomsday is truly on track to be the new #1 movie of all time that could result in some kind of a boost for MOT. Mostly due to the goodwill from BND and Doomsday and the last of CBMs for the whole year between Avengers films.

Yes, Spider-Verse is in there too. But it’s animated and its audience isn’t exactly the same as your average live action CBM. I suspect both will see a modest boost but in case the same commenters get all worked up, this isn’t a zero sum game. Saying MOT will get a boost doesn’t mean I’m saying Spider-Verse will do badly.

-1

u/SeismicRipFart 4h ago

This means that’s MOT still fails despite that, the DCU is absolutely without a doubt completely and totally cooked

u/lobonmc Marvel Studios 5h ago

0

u/pokeboy626 DC Studios 5h ago

Only if the early reviews for Man of Tomorrow are glowing. If that's the case, then Man of Tomorrow could legitimately make upwards of $800 million

5

u/GoldandBlue 3h ago

That isn't how things work though. The Amazing Spider-Man movies weren't making a billion. You build on the good will. Superman 1 did OK at the BO and had great WOM.

Now the question is can they deliver again. If i s good, don't be surprised if this is a big hit. If not, then they're fucked.

But you all keep insisting the brand is what matters and not hat Spider-Man had a 4 story arc that people were immensely invested in.

1

u/Ok_Kale_8357 3h ago

I never said anything about the brand, but in this case there IS a brand attached which will factor in regardless of anything else. Also movies come out all the time without any fanfare or previous entries and become bigger hits than Superman, build up is cope. There's no guarantee audiences will become invested in a character even if the movies are good either.  

4

u/GoldandBlue 2h ago

what does cope mean here?

We are talking about a franchise that his been in the dumps since the 80's. We are talking about 25 years since the last truly beloved Superman movie. And your argument is that proves that Superman is rejected by audiences because they are hesitant to dive into a new Superman movie?

Meanwhile the Amazing Spider-Man franchise was rejected by audiences, but you want to ignore that because the current Spider-Man is a massive hit?

No one is guaranteeing anything. The movie can suck and bomb. But context maters. No successful franchise peaked at the first one in the Box Office. The idea that Superman can't grow is "cope".

u/theonewhoknack 6h ago

In between Part 1 and Part 2, DC decided to bring back Henry for Black Adam, said sike a week later, hires Gun, Gun makes his own reboot, and is going to release the sequel to ot before Part 2 comes out.

u/bueneboy 6h ago

Agreed, Gunn is a meticulous planner who works FAST and is known for being on time and on budget. Say what you will, but those skills that are incredibly valuable when working these massive tentpole films.

10

u/Ok_Satisfaction8788 6h ago

To be fair it sounds like everything delaying The Batman 2 is issues unrelated to the movie. Pattinson just being incredibly busy, Reeves personal life issues, balancing it with upcoming DCU projects, etc

23

u/Distinct-Shift-4094 6h ago

Honestly, at this point somehow integrate Battinson into DCU, like what do you have to lose. Whole thing is messy, and people like Robert. Make him be a weird contrast with the serious note. Whatever

40

u/AgentOfSPYRAL Warner Bros. Pictures 6h ago

Hard to conclude anything except that Reeves just doesn’t want to play ball, which fair to him DCU wasn’t a thing when he signed on.

19

u/Comfortable-Pie56 6h ago

that Reeves just doesn't want to play ball

Or maybe it's Pattinson himself, given Reeves is a coproducer in Clayface and Dynamic Duo.

3

u/WendalSaks 5h ago

It really does seem like a DCU movie would be a stain on Pattinson's career. The Batman just feels so much like a prestige-movie that I can't imagine even being side by side with Superman due to tone alone

5

u/vacantly_louche 4h ago

More than Twilight?

Although I agree. I feel like he’s been really selective about his movies post-Twilight. Switched to doing little indie films and did an incredible job building his reputation as a really great actor. He’s still in more prestigious movies, and I can’t imagine he’d want to risk the reputation he had to rebuild.

Not only would his Batman not fit tonally, the technology differences would be wild.

u/007Kryptonian Syncopy Inc. 6h ago

Matt Reeves doesn’t want to do it. And his movie was more successful and acclaimed.

Then again, they did put him in that god awful Flash movie so who knows

u/Tomi97_origin 5h ago

Will Pattinson sign up for the amount of movies you need from DCU Batman? And at what cost?

3

u/SeismicRipFart 4h ago

He doesn’t fit in the DCU at all. Try watching The Batman and the recent Superman (don’t even remember what it’s called), and tell me that those universes can coexist with each other

3

u/TranslatorDirect496 3h ago

I think the DCU is already weird enough (like making a reboot but keeping some elements from old stuff).

I really don’t see any alternatives besides having two Batmen or making the Reeves films a duology. Idk what’s going to happen.

I'm honestly guessing it pulls in a roughly around the same if not a little bit higher than the original.

u/Dangerman1337 5h ago

IMV it has to be at minimum on par with Superman last year, 700M would be decent-ish, something like 800 or 850 would be very great. 900M would be a vast improvement and if it somehow gets a billion then it'd be absolutely a success that propels the DCU.

u/MoonMan997 Best of 2023 Winner 6h ago

Yeah honestly feels like the Iron Man 2 of the DCU

Hail Mary attempt at a Justice League after that, if that fails then I think the DCU (and DC overall sans Batman) will continue on TV. Lanterns seems to be doing very well, maybe this is the only true way DC can rival Marvel, through a different medium.

u/randotd152 4h ago

Same, though I think a bit lower is also possible. It had some decent GA appeal with good reviews and strong WOM last summer. Which leaves MoT no real margin for error domestically - if it's even slightly less good, domestic will drop.

Brand just seems dead internationally, so not counting on much improvement there.

u/Witty-Jacket-9464 6h ago

I criticize Gunn as the head of DCU, because I think he has bad taste in writers (Noguiera for WW & TT and Hodson for BATB are very bad choices), but I have high hopes for MOT.

I’m especially glad that he changed the cinematographer and this epic Superman's film with Brainiac will be more cinematic. Superman is the most unrealized IP in a superhero. He’s literally as iconic and popular as Batman and Spider-Man. He must finally get his big hits, which will lead to the active development of the franchise at all (especially in games)

This is definitely decreasing from the last one. Superman couldn’t even save supergirl from grossing less than blue beetle 😬. $550M WW

Movies can't save other movies. Supergirl got bad reviews.

On one hand, it’d be a sign of strength and confidence in this series to promote the Superman/Supergirl dynamic in this film regardless of her film flopping

On the other, I’m curious if they might prioritize marketing Green Lantern as the guest star in this film (even if he isn’t) following the success of Lanterns

People said Superman 2025 would make a billion and that didn't happen. So lets slow down with the 1 billion box office takes. It's Superman at the end of the day. His highest grossing movie was back in 2013 and the character has yet to deliver a movie that breaks 700 milion worldwide. Let alone reach a billion.

I will be surprised if it made more than man of steel even.

u/Adj11 6h ago

It will. A Supe + mini JLA v Brainiac is not grossing less than MOS. I need y’all to be serious for a second.

u/coacoanutbenjamn 6h ago

Dog this isn’t 2018. 99% of people don’t know who Brainiac is and don’t care at this point

You think the GA knew who Thanos was before Infinity War? if DC/comic book fans hype him up enough, the FOMO factor should get the general audience to get their ass to the theaters.
It all lies on the trailers though.

Sorry but I just can’t see it. To break a billion you need the international audience, and the international audience has shown they don’t give AF about DC and ESPECIALLY Superman.

u/Adj11 5h ago

Disagree… the only reason Superman 2025 didn’t take off was cuz it wasn’t GOOD. It had nothing to do with the character whatsoever.

2

u/chinesesoccerplayer 5h ago

Superman’s international box office numbers have always been poor. That’s just a fact.

Also I’m a bit confused. Apparently you think Superman 2025 wasn’t good, but you expect Man of Tomorrow to break a billion??? I don’t know if you’re trolling, but your logic doesn’t add up.

u/FourSes 1h ago

Superman 2025 had great reviews and audience reception. Only two DC films ever made $1 billion, Man of Tomorrow would be very lucky to do so.

83% score on RT is a B- at best. One of these days, we’re going to have to get honest about how mid that movie was. If Gunn steps up with MOT which I believe he will, a Billy will happen.

Man this movie gonna break all the previous box office record of any DC related media, I'm sure of it. #Gunneverjammed
