Man of Steel made $291M domestic, GOTG is at $255 and counting. One of the two was serious and has been around for 75 years.
The other was lighthearted and fun and nobody had ever heard of. One opened in prime summer, the other in August, where movies are dumped beause no movie had ever opened over $64M.

Funny Devin Farraci tweet Aug 27, 10:14
Does this mean they will leave the joker out of any future Batman stories? {nm} Aug 27, 10:32
Why so serious {nm} Aug 27, 10:33
It's all a joke Aug 27, 10:36
Because the 3 Nolan Bat-films have made over $1B. The serious Batman has made more than every other individual superhero. {nm} Aug 27, 10:43
Yeah.. But the 3 Iron Man movies have also made over $1B Iron Man 3 alone made over 1B world wide {nm} Aug 27, 10:48
If you want to get down to the decimal, the 3 Nolans made $1.2B, so serious has grossed more money than wisecracking. {nm} Aug 27, 10:52
I was including foreign. According to Box Office Mojo. 3 nolan films world total was 2,455,434,075. 3 Iron Man 2,418,696,729 Aug 27, 10:59

WB has what works for them. Marvel has what works for them. One doesn't disprove the other. {nm} Aug 27, 11:08
What works for DC is Christopher Nolan. Marvel has success across the board. {nm} Aug 27, 11:51
Nolan produced MoS. Nolan guided DC as Feige guided Marvel. {nm} Aug 27, 11:57
Diane Nelson is feige's equivalent at warner. Not Nolan. Nolan just directs and produces. {nm} Aug 27, 13:30
It's likely Geoff johns is stepping into that role, but not 100% yet {nm} Aug 27, 13:36
She may have the title now at the Comics, but she doesn't have the creative control over Nolans/Goyer in film. {nm} Aug 27, 13:41
Somehow her bio doesn't give the impression she has the film greenlighting and director firing power of Feige Aug 27, 15:25
shes the closest to feige right now in terms of managing the big picture, but shes not feige {nm} Aug 27, 15:29
That's a bold move, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off. {nm} Aug 27, 10:49
Flash without jokes ? {nm} Aug 27, 10:36
Maybe that doesn't count for tv shows. HAHA {nm} Aug 27, 10:37
Meanwhile, over at Marvel... {nm} Aug 27, 10:36
Their doing the Happy Groot Dance {nm} Aug 27, 10:37
WB is the Dean Wormer of comic book movie studios. NO MORE FUN OF ANY KIND!! {nm} Aug 27, 10:42

In other news from HitFix - JGL will be doing a cameo in Man of Steel {nm} Aug 27, 10:45
He needs the work after passing on GOTG for SINC2. Aug 27, 10:52
What role was JGL going for in GOTGX? {nm} Aug 27, 14:03
Peter Quill {nm} Aug 27, 14:07
Please let it be him playing Morpheus/Sandman...please...and not "Robin". *stares wistfully into the distance* {nm} Aug 27, 17:22
eh {nm} Aug 27, 13:03
Probably DC meant to say their movies would be grim and dark and somber as opposed to Marvel's light and fun. Aug 27, 13:41
HAHAHA Not that big a deal.. if you think about it most DC hero's were more serious than Marvel anyway. {nm} Aug 27, 17:11
DC Supes always seemed more serious to me than Marvels. Aug 27, 17:13
Serious is one thing, somber as a funeral is another. {nm} Aug 27, 18:54
I think it's great that DC and Marvel aren't sharing the same cookie cutter. {nm} Aug 27, 14:16
agreed. and I prefer the serious tone. I do like the Marvel films, but they aren't like the Batman trilogy. {nm} Aug 27, 18:46
