I know. But I was really surprised at WW's international gross. They didn't take to it as much as the US did. Aquaman is doing this on the back of International audiences.
I don't think it's too much of a stretch to think it won't reach a billion.

Just saw Aquaman.
Most probably the best DCEU movie (along with WW, yet this is more... fun).
And, at the same time, a mediocre movie.
Oh, well...
What pisses me is... you know you have a decent movie and you do not use it to strengthen the relationship between DC heroes?
I mean... even a very little interaction with Wonder Woman would have not damaged the movie.

One unknown is China. Tencent was co-producing the original WW and will most likely return for the sequel. Now back then Tencent was still trying to figure out how to market superhero films in China. After Venom and Aquaman I'd say they have this shit down.

Never seen this guy in anything, but he's got the look to him. Acutely reminds me of Baleman.

Jack is who I thought would've been great for Jason Todd. I can see Bruce, as well. He's def a Bale like actor.
Aquaman hitting a billion. Legit taken aback. I thought Doctor Strange money would be the ceiling. Now he's in the top of the top comic heroes.
Truly Mr. Worldwide

Affleck just needs to go back to directing. And take himself off the screen while he's doing it.
If Affleck channeled Gone Baby Gone, I'd give him the edge over Reeves. But in terms of trajectory and making blockbusters, yeah, Reeves is a step up.
Still have my doubts about Reeves, mainly due to his writing of the upcoming Batman film (whenever that comes out). I would have been more confident had Reeves allowed somebody else to write the script for the film he was going to direct, or if he had worked with Affleck to use the original script that he and Geoff Johns had worked on prior. Nevertheless, I'd think both sides of the Affleck debate would be happy if, assuming that the Batman film is a prequel, had Ben narrating the bookend scenes.
I think that Reeves exercised a lot of power at the time he signed up. DCEU was in trouble and WB needed a strong Batman performer as a back up. Don't feel that is the case so much now and I wonder if they might be having some regrets. Not saying things won't turn out ok but circumstances have changed.
No superhero film is winning anything outside of Best Costume, Visual Effects, or something Sound related. Dark Knight pulled a Best Supporting on the power of Ledger's death, his performance, and Nolan being a serious director with clout.
Black Panther being up for anything near Best Picture is based on A) everyone knowing what Black Panther is and B) Disney campaigning hard for it. The Dark Knight was the last time a studio made such a huge push for a Best Picture nom. Dark Knight didn't even get the nomination. BP could get the nom the way the Golden Globe went, but no way it wins. The nomination itself would be a huge breakthrough for genre films.
Birds of Prey likely won't be a visual effects showcase like Aquaman. So you're left with Film Editing, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Production Design, Makeup and Hair, Costume Design, Original Score.
Good times are here, but y'all need to calm down.
Just you wait until Spiderverse wins best animated picture!

1984. Cold War. Wonder Woman takes down the Berlin Wall and frees the German people!
That's more likely. They've snubbed Phoenix three times, so he could get a gimme depending on the spread.
Golden Globes have given me hope, but I feel like that means the Oscars will snatch it away and give it to Incredibles 2.

It will win or we are burning everything to the ground!
