Wow, that's impressive! Congrats, DC!

[Blackest Knight]

A DC film now has bragging rights as the #1 worldwide superhero movie opening of all time.

As a DC fan, I could not be happier.

I've seen the movie 3 times already and am going back a 4th time this afternoon.

Go DC!

It is so disheartening to have such a blatantly brainless movie make so much money....

Then you must have found Iron Man 3 to be terribly depressing.

Deadline is also reporting that the repeat viewings were higher than WB expected. This movie is going to be in the black and has a great shot at 1b

I did, but at least that had humour to hide it's wafer thin plot. BvS is just dull.

As a DC fan this means that I pretty much don't have anything to look forward to in the DCEU since MOS and BvS were both craptastic. I'll be selling my comics, any takers?

Which ones and how much

The difference is, Marvel movies use humour to hide their plot, so people leave the theater laughing and feeling like they had a good time. I left the BvS theatre feeling like the Transformers movies just got a moody paint job, which is worse. Snyder uses absolutely nothing but CGI to cover the fact that his plots are not as important as he thinks they are. This movie had the depth of skyscraper.

And just to reiterate my point; Winter Soldier had a more complex plot, so the humour was toned down, as it wasn't needed

So Snyder uses pretty images and Marvel uses middle school jokes. They both are the same thing. At least DC tries not to be the same formula

It seems to be a trend of late. Abrams, Bay, Snyder...
