MAN OF STEEL Looking To Get A Big Boost From Toy Lines

MOS is gonna crush 2013. And the pathetic haters, particulary a few on this site, who keep on proving how clueless they are about all things Superman.

GordonShumway: Awesome images. Do you have any idea about the size of that Superman figure?

@Jolt17 no idea, it was posted with the Variety article which this article is based on.

@fettastic you can supposedly already buy it, but not online:

ILike how WB are surprised that the most iconic hero of all time sells well.

some people need to lay off the underwear thing big freakin deal. if youre the type of person to let something like that ruin your experience youre an idiot.

KNEEL BEFORE FUNKO POP! ZOD !!!!

Dude, I have that when I was a kid! :)

If somebody came from the future and said to be MOS is making 1Bdollars I'd certainly believe it!

[frick]ing Bring It!!!!!!

WB may as well announce justice league now. Because this is going to make money simply for the fact it's superman. While superman returns didn't make superman type of money, it still made $400 million and that was a rehash and boring as shit. Batman, superman and spider-man movies should make $600 million minimum, simply on they're names.

@tea

unfortunately no, but you just ruined my childhood. LMFAO! thanks a lot buddy ;)

@LEVITIKUZ It has a shot, sure, but right now, it's a long shot. Bay's film made a billion, yes. And it was the third in the series. Man of Steel is a REBOOT. A reboot of a character who doesn't have as much movie drawing power as the likes of Batman or Spider-Man. And back to Bay, his movies make a lot more than Snyder's. Again, you'r fanboy mind is clouding your judgment.

It might be the best CBM ever and it might disappoint. None of us can know until we've seen. So far it's looking as good as anything and better than most. We'll see...

mos is either gonna be the greatest cbm or a cluster[frick] failure of epic proportions. that's how i see it. [frick], i don't even like superman but everytime i watch the trailer and see cavill launch into the sky, i grin like a 4 year old again... it's so goddamn beautiful and inspiring.

Jor-El: You will give the people an ideal to strive towards. They will race behind you, they will stumble, they will fall. But in time, they will join you in the sun. In time, you will help them accomplish wonders.

Gaddamn!!!!

I too think MOS will be a very good film and do very well at the box office, but the competition of the summer is what makes me think it wont cross $1B. I just dont see MOS having the staying power unless theres some sort of oscar buzz for Shannon.

$875 million. That's my bet. (Not what I'm betting! What I'm betting on! Lol)

MOS only needs to make 500 million +, if that happens, we get a sequel.

Its going to be so funny coming back here if it fails dismally. I personally dont want it too but those that refuse to believe will be so funny in their defence of it if it does that this site will be red hot!

@@LEVITIKUZ: I got your back! I agree with you 100%. MOS believe it or not is a sleeper movie. It will catch everyone off guard.

Believe it or not, deep down inside, EVERYONE loves Superman! SR brought in $400MM and it had tons of bad word of mouth. IMAGINE IF THAT MOVIE WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD?!? That number could've EASILY been doubled!!

WB is advertising this movie correctly. They are using the fame Nolan's Batfilms generated by putting his name on all the advertisements! In every trailer, they show Crowe and Costner! People love them! These actors usually ONLY sign on to movies they feel are going to be good so they alone are a draw. Add Snyder's incredible visuals, how can this movie NOT break bank?

Plus Cavill has already sold most of the world on the fact that he IS Superman by looks alone! Wait until they see him act!! (By watching him on the Tudors, it will come so naturally to him that everyone else will be taken aback.) Those who have never seen Michael Shannon act will also be pleasantly amazed.

If it is great, this movie can easily break records. EASILY.

Superman was more popular than Batman until SR ruined everything. That is what? 70 years of Superman reigning supreme? All you doubters will be silenced come June. Mark my words. And if I'm wrong, then I'll admit to it. But I'm good at sh*t like this. I know I won't be.
