Why so serious {nm}
HF: WB apparently has a "no jokes" policy for the DC Cinematic Universe Aug 27, 09:40
*kicks dirt* Aug 27, 09:55
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 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
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. Aug 27, 11:04
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
2 guys in a lunatic asylum Aug 27, 10:43
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
