    I'm quite surprised that Batman V Superman is a box office hit despite abysmal critiques.

      @adiwan a large portion of the superhero fanbase just like superhero films because they're superhero films in spite of their actual quality so I'm not very surprised to be honest

        @tiffany I like super hero films but the DC ones seem to be really crappy. I recently saw Man of Steel on TV and wasn't pleased.

          @adiwan I didn't really engage with any superhero media until last year with Marvel's Netflix shows and Deadpool, all of which I'm much more pleased with.

            @tiffany The Netflix shows are exceptionally good, though I think that Jessica Jones was better than the second Daredevil season. I also watch Agents of SHIELD, which doesn't reach the quality of the mentioned above, but I enjoy it nonetheless. I might like Agent Carter a bit more than Agents of Shield. Sadly the ratings weren't so great.

              @adiwan Oh yeah, Jessica Jones was and is much better than Daredevil, since they have different priorities and JJ is more of a character show than a piece of eye candy like DD is. I can't speak for the other shows

                @tiffany Agents of SHIELD has a weird pacing from time to time and the writing shows sometimes that the major films don't allow bigger stuff to happen (besides the lower budget). I like it despite of the flaws. Agent Carter is set in the 50's, which is not limited by the current events and take full advantage of this. Season 1 is much stronger than the second because the second has a weird love triangle running, which didn't work out.

                  @adiwan Eh, I doubt I'll get around to watching it. I have much more pressing things on my list right now

      @adiwan Well I mean... people have to pay to go and see it before they can critique it

      @adiwan I don't know why you're surprised. This is hardly the first time this happened, nor will it be the last.

      It was a first-weekend hit, sure. I think this coming weekend will make-or-break it from a financial standpoint. It's taken in about $420 million worldwide, but Warner's said that production costs are in the neighborhood of $750 million.

      I think Warner is really worried. A bad second weekend and poor bluray sales could cripple the Justice League movie franchise before it even starts.

        @karl Interesting. I think that they'll end up at a break-even point with the film with DVD sales, TV licensing and merch.
