Why 'Justice League' Cynicism Is Wrong And The Film Will Be A Hit!

http://www.forbes.com/sites/markhughes/2014/04/29/why-justice-league-cynicism-is-wrong-and-the-film-will-be-a-hit/

Someone should do this as a article......there are a few bits are quite interesting.

Let’s start off by just trying to once and for all address the financial myths a lot of fans cling to regarding the chances Warner’s plans will fail in terms of box office. Christopher Nolan’s last two Batman movies crossed $1 billion each, without any help from 3D pricing, and without the inclusion of any other superheroes to team up with. Man of Steel got some mixed reaction from critics and fans, followed a previously abandoned revival attempt for Superman, and still took home $668 million at the box office without the added benefit of other superheroes hanging around.

Putting Batman alongside Superman, adding in Wonder Woman, and releasing in IMAX 3D is going to make these films massive hits, as long as they cross the basic threshold of not being really bad movies that get trashed by critics and early audience buzz. Batman's box office clout is a given, superhero films are consistently performing stronger at the worldwide box office, and teaming up major superhero characters in films has proven lucrative.

There's just no rational reason to expect a Superman-Wonder Woman-Batman movie to do less than $1 billion, and probably much higher. Especially since the marketing will drive home the point this is the lead-in to an even bigger superhero team-up in Justice League. I've been saying that if they market it as "Justice League Begins," they'll reap the financial rewards, and it's clear now that this is precisely what's going to happen.
