Collider Mail Bag - Civil War Vs Batman V Superman, Interest in Iron Giant

[@o.w.140]

Batman v Superman will sell more, think about. - Batman and Superman on screen together for the first time. We've already seen The Avengers. - Wonder Woman debut. - Batman v Superman will go 6 weeks without any solid competition. Civil War will eventually meet up with X-Men in 4 weeks. - Batman is literally a money making machine. - The 1 year delay made people more anxious to see it.

[@Mrjonnyjonjon123]

+You Dont E.N.O butiron man 3 made more than any batman film

[@fransiscusdjaja7775]

+You Dont E.N.O why don't we hope both recieve equal money? i know for some fans we side to what we root more then the other... but then again these 2 movies are important for the genre in overall. why? bcoz somehow some ppl in the industry who doesn't like comic book movie especially superhero genre is bring superhero fatique issue for several times now. Now... BvS need to be really success bcoz its stand for the rest of DCEU plan and SS. Civil War need to be success bcoz its stand for phase 3 MCU. So i really really hope both movies are really really success. eventhough i don't really know (little) kids will like BvS tones.

[@pishposh8488]

Prob right it will make more, but 2 things...The Jungle Book may b a huge hit 2 wks later. Also CACW will have its free time at opening of Summer, schools out and all that. that second point may not matter as much, and of course there are other factors.

[@LivinglikeJay-iq3io]

+jonathan vigoa watt, Damm nah then everyone is sucking Disney's dick cause tdk is incredible! no efence

[@Mrjonnyjonjon123]

i know the dark knight was incredible but iron man 3 was coming off of avengers

[@andrewgardiner6127]

John, thank you so much for your dedication to this. With such a long day of casting it would have been so easy to just say no mailbag this week, so on behalf of everyone here- thank you for getting to the office so early to record this for us!

[@benboom910]

John, I didn't walk away disappointed because I was expecting more from the sequel. I walked away disappointed because we see this badass shot of Captain America's shield broken, Thor is laying on the ground defeated (Actually dead but we didn't know that in the trailer). Then we also see a badass shot of Ultron being really intimidating saying, "There are... no strings on me". The movie comes out and we get a singing robot, a robot with quips here and there (Basic Marvel stuff but this was just horrible), and right before he gets his heart torn out he says "Y'know, in hindsight.." *Boom*

[@maestrogoldberg]

+Fuel-For-Life ultron was shit

[@benboom910]

***** Yeah, I'm not talking so much about the movie itself as much as I'm talking about *Ultron* himself.

[@benboom910]

*****

[@benboom910]

John Harrison Guys, this isn't about Age Of Ultron being a bad movie. It wasn't, it was a great movie. Ultron was just disappointing. Also, to the guy who said it holds an 80% rating. No shit, it's Marvel and it's a sequel to the Avengers. Unless the story was absolute shit then it would've atleast had a 60% rating either way.

[@benboom910]

***** That's *too*, not "to". Irony + Ad hominem = failure.

[@Brook11223]

Batman and Superman sharing one movie in live action is cinematic history.

[@feroplayer2739]

I believe Batman v Superman and Civil war will destroy the Box Office.

[@sirquentinross6696]

lol who doesn't?!

[@JackCone]

+Sir'Quentin Ross Fox does; they're releasing 3 xmen films :D

[@sirquentinross6696]

Jack Cone you can kick Gambit outta the door on these two behemothes lol

[@SuperShanko]

+zunkwind You're right. Nobody wants to see two good looking muscle-y menz whipping on each other while the first cinematic super powered heroine will make her debut and probably kick all the ass.

[@sirquentinross6696]

***** Same appeal to the female audience ? Its got Wonder Woman in it, who is the most iconic heroine of all time! You sure about that?

[@Brastius]

"What movie will have the biggest opening weekend, BVS or Civil War?" *sips from Star Wars cup*

[@whiteout0111]

That made me laugh... And he pointed the Star Wars logo towards the camera

[@simbasible]

The animation in The Iron Giant is not dated, it is intentionally old-fashioned and for true animation fans, that is great.

[@feroplayer2739]

Batman v Superman Vs civil war Why not both.

[@feroplayer2739]

+Peter Hernandez i hate only fanboys

[@cutenerd1177]

I want too see both and dead pool

[@Dontuween]

John, you missed one. The snow monster also got his arm chopped off in "Empire" courtesy of Luke. Thank you "Yojimbo" for paving the way!

[@3buddy]

Awesome i've been waiting!

[@QLCHerald]

Civil War trailer got leaked hopefully that forces Marvel to release a good version.

[@advancedgamer1831]

+YT Channel no some gifs got leaked t.co/FLrmL1jeVq

[@QLCHerald]

Go to J.W trailers channel to see it on youtube.

[@QLCHerald]

Oh shit son indeed!!!!!!

[@boo1232able]

BvS actually makes more sense to me at the minute compared to Civil War, even though I'm more excited for BvS I'm still seeing both. :)

[@tongxae2421]

Wayy more excited for BvS!!! Batman and Superman together for the very first time. History will be made. Civil War will be good, but the hype surrounding BvS is what fans have been waiting for.

[@Brook11223]

It's cool to see Finn wielding lightsaber that was passed from mentor, to father, to son and was lost and has now found a new master who will now put it to good use as he faces off against Kylo Ren.

[@DubstepDinosaurs]

Killer job on the intro, both animation and sound production. Tops!

[@sirquentinross6696]

I honestly think both BVS and CA:CW will make a ton of money at the box office, over a billion dollars I'm expecting, anybody who thinks otherwise is really ignorant. But depending on both of the films, the film that I think will make more at the box office is BVS just because of the heroes in the title and the benefit of this being the first time seeing these characters on the big screen. Granted in Civil War we are getting Spider-Man(my favorite Marvel superhero of all time) and Black Panther in the MCU as well and I'm anxious to see them (mostly Spider-Man) in the movie, but the buzz that BVS has been getting is outrageously high. Not saying that Civil War doesn't have the high amount of hype as well.

[@YourMarvelFan]

i agree dude....obviously both will make a billion easy but i do believe that BvS will make more no matter how good or bad it ends up being. However i really dislike people who think BvS will "destroy" Civil War. It'll make more for sure but it won't destroy it i believe

[@sirquentinross6696]

YourMarvelFan Yeah me neither

[@sirquentinross6696]

swanpride Yeah, I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that sorry.

[@ROArecords2]

We also don't know if the scene in the clip isn't misleading. For all we know, the scene with Ren and Finn may very well take place in two different areas of the forest against different foes.

[@tylerneihoff1]

I really liked the first 300, but actually enjoyed Rise even more. The male lead and Eva Green made it for me.

[@aguilacahc000]

Thanks for the show Collider/Jon

[@benboom910]

+aguilacahc000 I like this comment, so nice!

[@cletusvandamme4247]

so you didn't have enough money to bring all the old cast but yet you are hiring?!?!

[@ColliderLadiesNight]

+Cletus Vandamme It's really not that complicated. We were given a budget for Movie News when we came over to Complex/Collider. That budget is very generous, but not enough to bring everyone over who was with us at AMC. Now, Complex is investing in us doing a TV Recap Show network. This isn't more money for Movie News, it's for a separate thing. It's like when your mom gave you $5 to buy comic books, and then $10 to buy a shirt. You don't suddenly have $15 to buy comics. You have to spend the $10 on a shirt.

[@WallyHolland]

douuuuche

[@tamani9553]

+ColliderVideos nice😂

[@tamani9553]

***** did you not read the comment

[@SteveMunguia]

dum dum

[@redluca56]

Can I just say something? Well it's the KZbin comments so I will :P I love the intro graphic. Ever since you guys moved over to Collider, the moving intro graphics have been sorely missed - at least for me anyway - so I'm hoping it stays and I may have missed the graphic for movie talk, but if you haven't been using one for there yet then I hope you do.

[@3kingzs1]

thanks for give use something to get through the weekend, John. Love the show.

[@bannozz]

I disagree with you john on that batman v superman and civil war question, the better film doesn't always make more money than the other. Winter soldier and man of steel were far more great than iron man 3 yet it made more than half what they did at the box office.

[@Brook11223]

Synder loves to always reference various comic book stories, graphic novels, tv shows, animated shows as one story.

[@Zombotron5678]

Every Star Wars film but Episode I (which we can pretend never existed) has had someone's hand cut off. It's a fun little tradition

[@danielbuchanan1564]

J.C. hell yeah! The magic phrase: "Which one is a better film?". That nails it right there. Just make a great movie, please. I'm seeing both BvS and Civil War easily when the come out. But I will be curious as to the final tally on $.

[@EvanTheLee]

I don't think the Academy can forget a movie, but I do think they can forget just how good a movie was. There were a lot of movies that I watch and thought it was ridiculously good, but over time, I sort of forget just how good it was until I rewatch it. An example of this for me is The Avengers. Every time I watch it, I'm just in awe of how good it is, but after a few months, I think it was just good until I rewatch it again and the cycle continues. I've watched that movie 13 times now.

[@SaiyanHeretic]

I don't expect Iron Giant 2 to ever happen, but as I recall, the book it is based on actually has a whole second half in which the Giant defends Earth from alien monsters, or something. Alternatively, the sequel could be about the Giant's creators coming to see what happened to this faulty unit. That could be played either way, for humor or drama.

[@Shady00018]

can't wait to hear what john thinks about lost and sunny in Philadelphia. :)

[@humanhybrid924]

I'm so glad that he admitted that man of steel is a magnificent film, I love man of steel, I don't see why people complain that it has action, most people wanted action but complained, what did you expect?! It's an action movie!

[@toddthegod3222]

+HumanHybrid It had too much repetitive action!

[@humanhybrid924]

+SteveTheDruid it's an action movie! So did mad max but everyone loves that, so what it had action? Actions entertaining

[@toddthegod3222]

Repetitive action for 25 mins is not entertaining! What do you find entertaining about a bunch of superhuman beings punching each other for 25 mins?

[@jcjjcc]

BATMAN VS SUPERMAN IS GONNA BE ON A NEW LEVEL! REASON WHY...BECAUSE WHO EVER GREW UP ON WATCHING BATMAN & SUPERMAN MOVIES, TV SHOWS OR READING COMICS BEEN WANTING THIS TO HAPPEN. 2016 MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE GONNA GET THEIR WISHES!

[@DensityDennis]

Man of Steel is still my favorite CBM to date. It will probably be blown to bits for me by Batman v Superman and the Justice League movies. I am sure of that.

[@dels.april12]

I believe that BvS is going to big! most of my friends who don't know anything at all about MCU and DCU they're more interested in BvS because it's new and they're curious about it. Of course captain America is going to be huuuggeeeeeeee too. Excited for both movies!

[@STARBRAND-n2p]

I'm invested in Civil War. I have zero investment in Batman fighting superman.

[@sirquentinross6696]

Ok.....

[@SteveMunguia]

GOOD FOR YOU *Christian Bale voice

[@liamarnold2452]

I think it goes without saying that you should do Jessica Jones.

[@mk6rfc1]

I doubt that would work since they release all their episodes at once

[@Beastinr0cks]

+Liam Arnold Although I'm really excited for Jessica Jones, it's kinda hard to do Netflix shows don't you think?

[@Wolverine-vs1ge]

+Beastinrocks ya it is Netflix relses an entire season not an epiosde a week

[@noahc1900]

+Beastinrocks They could just review the series as a whole like they did with Daredevil.

[@carloswachuwa13]

+mk6rfc1 that's precisely why it would work, since he is going to about shows you can binge watch.

[@voxnewman]

I thought the same as you in regards to DCCU vs DCEU. But know when you say DC Extended Universe, I've decided I prefer that. It suggests that these movies are more connected to the multiverse of comics, TV, movies, animated movies etc... It also suggests that these characters could potentially interact with the whole DC universe regardless of media.

[@AvatarRishi]

love the new intro!

[@ConnerNielsen6]

You're right John, Boyhood did win a lot of Oscars like Best Supporting Actress and… uh… but at least you're right in the Academy not forgetting about films from the beginning of the year, Grand Budapest Hotel was totally not an outlier. The Academy totally remembered The LEGO Mov--… and Mr. Turn-- oh. Yeah.

[@zero1188]

batman V superman will sell more. man of steel alone outsold most marvel movies. throw in batman and its overkill

[@clored9084]

Man of steel got beat by Guardians of the Galaxy AN UNKNOWN PROPERTY!! Iron Man 3 outsold every Batman movie ever made.

[@maeburekaiser]

Technically most, but only 6 of 11 (Ant Man isn't finished releasing so I didn't count it). Only one of which was released after Man Of Steel: Thor 2, by $14 mil. The other five were part of Phase One. The other 4 in Phase 2 beat MoS. Now, I'm not saying that has anything to do with the potential sucess of BvS, just pointing out the flaw in your argument. Because I'm annoying.

[@maestrogoldberg]

+Colorado =cht muvn man 3 was shit just beacause it came after avengers one it make that and iron money due to anticipation what it contains

[@bulletprooff1k]

+Colton G Competition also affects the box office. After 20 days Civil War is going to get it sales leeched by X-men: Apocalypse which is targeting the same demographic. Then there are the other big box office films releasing in May and June. After 20 days Batman v Superman is going to face off against the Jungle Book for 20 days. So, BvS basically has 40 days of domination at the box office. Civil War only has 20.

[@bulletprooff1k]

disneydevil1 Jungle Book will not kill BvS. The competition Civil War is facing will. WB picked the best date.

[@bluebee]

ULTRON was bad for the simple fact that MARVEL told us as the viewer that the characters are getting sequels, thus there was no worry that any of the characters would die. Take a cue from the Rocky franchise. Start killing off key figures... they're fictional. You can bring them back next year... right Spiderman?

[@peteraguilar7600]

So following your logic, you would then have to also say that WB is telling us that Justice League Part 1 will be bad because we already know the movies coming out afterward that involve the JL characters.

[@praveerkrishna1074]

+Peter Aguilar what? those movies will,in all probability,be origin movies. they will be set BEFORE the events of Justice League Part One,except for ofc Justice League Part Two,and there's no way you can say that all the characters who appear in Part One WILL appear in the next installment. I mean they can kill some of the characters off in the first part itself if they want,so the suspense will be intact.

[@peteraguilar7600]

+Le Stuff Respectfully, I would say that you are not following your own logic to its logical conclusion. Let's follow your logic and say that one of the characters appears and dies in Justice League Part 1, and then we have that character's origin movie. You just killed any chance of that character having a sustained franchise because the audience has already seen the character die. Any suspense in the character surviving to the end of another movie is killed because we know for a fact that the character dies. WB most likely has the lead actors signed for 4-7 movies, so it does not make financial sense to kill any of them in their first movie.

[@bluebee]

Quentin Tarentino.

[@dragonrings14]

+thomas the tank engine They said Quicksilver was signed on for multiple films and yet they killed him off. Your logic is flawed in more ways than 1.

[@fettfan91]

I agree with John, I really enjoyed 300: Rise of an Empire. Personally I found it on par if not better than the original 300, which I also love. A third movie done well would realize one of the best action trilogies ever.

[@jackmoody5174]

Even in the prequels, all of them except phantom menace had someone losing an arm (or in ROTS, an arm an 2 legs). Their may be something in PM, I don't really remember

[@toshinoukyoukochan]

Will Campea himself be on any of the upcoming TV recap shows or will it just be all new staff for all of them?

[@timoyr2954]

Don't know about the opening, but I think BvS will take all-time worldwide box offive. BvS: A shitload of hype, it's something new, 20 days of unopposed box-office money until Jungle Book comes out and then it still has 20days to make money at number 1 or 2 spot until Civil War comes out. Civil War: A lot of hype, but we've seen Cap and Iron Man before, hell, we've even somewhat seen them fight each other. Most people don't know who Black Panther is, but it does have a lot of Avengers, Spider-man and the Marvel name. It has 20 days of unopposed box-office, but then X-Men: Apocalypse (same audience) and Alice through the Looking Glass (first one made over $1billion) come out on the same day. After that, movies like TMNT 2, Warcraft, Conjuring 2, Now you see me 2 etc. start coming out. So, I think BvS will make more money, because it has more time and because it's more interesting (atleast for me). Don't know which one will be better though.

[@WeabeOfficialMusic]

I'm happy to hear about the Recap news!!

[@joe_v_runs]

The way you pronounced 'Ex Machina' made me laugh, John, and also 'Boyhood' unfortunately only won one Oscar for Patricia Arquette's performance. That movie deserved more. Oh well. It was still a great movie that shouldn't be forgotten.

[@AITurkel]

So that opening mailbag graphic was awesome

[@zerocool7088]

Great show john. really looking forward to Blindspot too, how bout an aftershow show for that?

[@deathsdoor07]

Imagine if the apocalypse happens before Batman v. Superman comes out.

[@maestrogoldberg]

+deathsdoor07 nothing will happen still BVS >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Apocolypse

[@deathsdoor07]

maestrogoldberg With the Iran deal happening, who knows?

[@dvngelomorales2451]

Batman V Superman will sell more. It's just more anticipated. It's the first recent crossover in the DCCU that I can honestly think of. After being amazed by The Avengers it really made every other cross over in the MCU not as amazing. Both are gonna sell greatly but it's expected for Civil War to be a crossover film with good reviews while BvS is the dark horse, and very mysterious on whether or not it will be DCCU's first crossover success or failure. This is DCCU's first real step into the shared universe, that's enough to make everyone have its eyes on it.

[@earlchatterton9133]

Woody Allen clearly deserves an honorary Oscar. Has one of those honorary Golden Globes, but not yet the Oscar. Spike Lee's getting one, but he almost seems too young, even though he has been directing since mid-80s. One of the great Oscar moments was when they have one to the late Sidney Lumet, one of the greatest directors of all time who never really became "famous" outside the business despite making some of the best films ever.

[@earlchatterton9133]

Totally aware of that, along with his best directing Oscar for Annie Hall, but talking about lifetime achievement award

[@andrewcole4309]

[@wuiblidluub]

Thanks for taking my question John good show today.

[@wwefanaticjakeschnl]

I have been wanting to see Red Hulk in a movie for a very long time now and hope Marvel has him in a movie soon, also since finding out recently there is a Compound Hulk character (Half-Red/Half-Green Hulk) I really really want to see him in a movie.

[@hardiman84879]

John, I completely agree with you in regards to Avengers: Age of Ultron. It wasn't as good as the first film but it was still an awesome movie. Sequels don't have to better than the original film to be an awesome movie.

[@kalilkash973]

Whoa. Idk about the batman v superman trailer being better than the latest Star Wars one. Even without them pulling out Han Solo at the end, that trailer still gave me goosebumps. Idk, maybe it's my star wars Fandom showing.

[@TheUnnoticedTimelord]

[@Vortvx]

Batman v Superman Opening Weekend - $240Million Civil War Opening Weekend - $215million What are your predictions?

[@619ck154]

I suppose the key hear will be which novelty appeals more, I mean on the one hand you have you two biggest Icons in comic book history appearing on screen together, but on the other you have the most successful cinematic universe in box office history having arguably its most ground breaking film to date, opening weekend I think Batman V Superman will take it because I think it will break 200 opening weekend and I can't see Civil War grossing more opening weekend than Age of Ultron, however I think Civil War will have the lower drop off and may go on to gross more overall

[@sedjohngifts]

Hey can we see the audition tapes of the folks that get cast .

[@hughtubecube]

There's no doubt in my mind that BvS will make more than Civil War opening weekend (as John said, predicting further than that is impossible), but I also think Civil War has the better pedigree and thus the better potential to be truly great. Interestingly, I think BvS could fall into the same category as The Avengers. A very good film considered to be an all-time great because of how memorable it is.

[@YuanMizzle]

I think Kubrick won the Academy Award for best visual effects for 2001.

[@wuiblidluub]

Thanks for taking my question john good show.

[@Alpinenewt]

Sorry John but I found Age Of Ultron quite boring in places. That's my test, "was I ever bored during the film?" . I was quite a few times. However overall I thought it was good.

[@whiteout0111]

Judging by that test man of steel was a zero... I almost fell asleep throughout the entire movie until the last 20 minutes. Adding to the fact that half of it made no sense. Same with the first captain America movie. I couldn't even finish "the first avenger" or even "the dark world". Hopefully bvs. Isn't that boring.... I,don't think marvel will really have any more movies like "the first avenger" besides maybe one or two throughout the rest of their run (hopefully) but I'm really looking forward to suicide squad. That's honestly the only movie I'm really looking forward to in the dceu. I can't imagine that will be boring at all

[@whiteout0111]

I didn't fall asleep, I saw the film in its entirety fully awake... I've watched it about 3 times trying to see what people like about it.. I have yet to see even one redeeming quality in this garbage... I remember the first Time I watched the dark knight and it was late at night and I didn't enjoy that film at all. But once I took the time to watch it when I wasn't dying. It was one of the best hero movies of all time. I usually watch movies a couple times before I get a solid opinion of them

[@kelaEQ2]

The sad thing about calling it the "DCEU" is that unlike the MCU it actually is a Cinematic Universe as it ONLY exists in Cinema*. While the MCU is the true Expanded Universe as it exists on TV, Online, and the Cinema*, *for the first run of the show/movie.

[@roccodigeronimo21]

If the academy sticks with the 10 nominations for bests picture, I will be so mad if mad max doesn't get nominated, if they go back to the 5 nominations then I could understand

[@davidsykes6584]

Iron Giant sequel? Did the first movie loose a lot of money? Granted that at a time where rentals and VHS/DVD purchases could have made a difference, but I'd be very surprised for a 2nd movie.

[@pescigotpepsi129]

I think Civil War will make more money than BvS but only by a small bit. You got Spidey, Black Panther and I think the general audience is more interested in seeing Cap Vs. Iron Man after seeing these characters for nearly 10 years. Also Cap 2 and IM3 made more than Man Of Steel so that clearly shows people are more interested in that universe and those characters. However the addition of the Dark Knight himself may provide a challenge, I still think Civil War will make more. MOS also received more bad reviews than all of the MCU movies.

[@Sefoskiii]

Did you just compare the third Iron man movie and the second Cap movie to the first movie in the DCU? That's...fair...

[@pescigotpepsi129]

+Elmin Legend But Superman is the biggest superhero in the world so I think it is fair.

[@Sefoskiii]

+PesciGotPepsi biggest superhero means nothing when the previous movie was bad (Returns) and this movie wasn't recieved well. I love the movie, but a lot of people did not and it still made 658 million. Imagine if this movie was loved just as much as Cap 2 for example.

[@pescigotpepsi129]

+Elmin Legend Plus Cap and Iron Man were total B-Listers and their movies beat the biggest, most well-known superhero in the entire world. That is a problem

[@Sefoskiii]

+PesciGotPepsi You're confusing the most well known superhero with the most loved superhero. Everyone doesn't love Superman. And Marvel has been doing these movies since 08'. It took a lot of movies for them to outgross the most well known superhero. Still not a fair comparison.

[@csjcsj2906]

The fact is that Kubrick does have an Oscar (for Best Visual Effects).

[@TechnoBacon]

YES! ANIMATED INTROS ARE BACK! FINALLY!

[@donovancastro9729]

I read on the Star Wars 7 news site that Rey is going to be the Luke Skywalker character of this trilogy and that it seems Finn is just on the run with that lightsaber. Plus everyone is just basing this force-sensitive theory based on two pictures and that little teaser. Doesn't mean anything about Finn becoming a Jedi.

[@geraldmunoz8491]

I would want an Iron Giant sequel when i was kid I always wanted to know where it came from and if there are more like it.

[@alexgavieres8293]

what if Finn is Luke's pupil? Alright fine, I'll say the word. Padawan. What if he's Luke's padawan spy? That would be cool.

[@gregshedd7629]

I agree that the BvS trailer was better than the star wars one but thats not a super fair argument because the BvS trailer is just that a full trailer while the star wars "trailer" was actually a teaser so thats a little unfair. Also while I agree the BvS trailer is better overall there were a few parts of the star wars trailer that for me were the best moments ever put in a trailer. One is the first shot because its the first thing ive seen since 83 that felt exactly like actual star wars, and the other is the han and chewy moment which is in my opinion the greatest moment ever in a trailer and it made me cry so there is that haha

[@jrb5892]

[@MrRichardodincopelan]

is AMC TV and AMC Theatres two different company? always thought they were the same

[@bryanrosa9433]

Different

[@peggymoexd]

I loved Age of Ultron and by no means thought that it was a disappointment. I just wish that if they were going to slap that comic title on it, it would be a little bit close to it's source material. In the comics Ultron practically controls everything. The heroes basically live underground for a long time. You could say for an AGE. The movie makes it seem like not a whole lot was at stake and took place over the course of a couple of days it seems like. I feel like it could have been solved in a standalone film with maybe cameos from heroes instead of being an AVENGERS film.

The Iron Giant reminds me a lot of the robot from Laputa Castle in the Sky, the influence is strong in that movie.

I have to reject this notion that Batman and Superman are the two biggest names in superheroes without contest. Spiderman may not have been big in the theaters in the 80's and 90's, but if you're looking globally there's a real argument that Spiderman is bigger than both. I'm not even a Spiderman fan, but I do think it is telling that his merchandise makes more money around the world than any other superhero. People know and love Spiderman, and I'm not gonna say "DC fanboy" because I know it's not the case, but don't discount the guy that can do whatever a spider can.

swanpride Yes he does. Which is why I think he shouldn't be left out of the conversation for most popular superhero.

OH MY GOD, my question made it. Thanks John Campea and you also butchered my name. I agree BVS will have an amazing opening weekend. The trailer got me hyped

I remember when they had slated Jeremy renner to take over the mission impossible series but then after the Bourne thing it kinda seemed to fall through but now I think it would be absolutely genius if after mission impossible 6 Rebecca Ferguson took over the series I think that would be awesome and really smart so I hope so,etching like that happens

Good episode. Nice and short and to the point

In regards to Bat v Sup vs Cap Civil War, you have to take into account the movies that will be coming out after them. Look at Universal for example. All of their movies this year have made a lot of money, but if you look at the other movies that came out on the same day or the weeks after, they have gotten mostly bad reviews. When there's no other good options, then people go see what is popular. Which big movies are coming out on the same days or the following weeks after Bat v Sup and Cap are released? That's when their box office will slow down.
