As I said in another thread: Snyder is just a symptom. The problem is the dumb execs at WB. Hopefully this debacle gets one or two fired so that some new blood gets put in charge.

This imagery is so brutal.

He really is the standout. He's not what's wrong..
I wonder what this means for Justice League's numbers?
And a superhero movie not being able to top the first Avengers -- one of the biggest films of all time -- is not evidence of a genre in decline. That's an insanely high bar to think should be the standard.
What? Deadpool came out a month before this and was a huge hit.

I watched this shitty fucking movie with my family over the past week and I can understand why it has absolutely poisonous word of mouth. I wouldn't recommend this to the people that I dislike.
Now, as a good christian I don't hate people, I just dislike them. I don't want to see them seriously injured but maybe knowing that they had a good fall to the ground or stepped on a lego block while barefoot...now that is all I ask for. This movie is too cruel even for them.

I'm not sure. Snyder made two dissapoitng DC movies. So he gets the blame for now. If n Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman dissapoint, that's a whole different thing.

Makes no sense.
You know, it's almost like you latched on to one part of my post instead of reading the whole sentiment so you could conveniently ignore where I pointed out that not everyone reads the Box Office thread. Like you'd rather derail this thread to be about why it shouldn't exist instead of discussing the topic at hand.
But I'm certain I'm mistaken.

Oh, I'd say it does.
This is straight-up delusional. MoS made nearly 700 million and the last 2 bat-films made a billion each. This was supposed to kick start the DC universe into high gear and set the wheels in motion for a stable of 600 million to 1 billion dollar grossing films. They basically jumped the whole universe set-up part to make that easy billion.
I can't even understand how you can put Superman and Batman in the same film and not make a billion dollars?!

Good. Maybe finally Hack Snyder will get fired from the DCU.

I didn't ignore it. I suggested you're one of those people not reading, and were you not one of those people, you might have realized this was a (very large) conversation already happening, and had been happening, and will happen tomorrow when the new B.O. thread goes up specifically about this estimated drop.
Are you basically saying my assumption was correct? You just heard about this shit somewhere else and started this thread without even bothering to check anything else first?
Your whole sentiment and mine aren't at cross-purposes. It's more like yours is a sorta weak explanation as to why mine is being posted at all.
That all said: Conversations are happening here, too, so it's not like this is useless or whatever. There's a difference between "unnecessary" and "useless," too.
Disappointing to hear.
The movie was great but was really hurt by a few big flaws. Jesse Eisenberg being the biggest. Such a massive downgrade of a villain compared to Zod.
Snyder and WB need to make this right. Release even more cut footage when it hits blue ray. Don't hold back. Give me that 4 hour R rated cut.

And finally give the world Suckerpunch Too.
Cause there's no way that gets a regular number.
Alright, pack it up, BvS will make a billion and Superhero movies are done, WRAP IT UP.

Truth.
"Jesse, I know you're auditioning for Jimmy Olsen, which is what you're best suited for, but let's take it another direction ..."
Ugh. Horrible casting. And I like Cavill as Superman/Clark: he just needs a director and writers that understand the character.

I would love to know how you think this i gonna happen. I really would.
Ugh, Eisenberg was a way better villain than Zod.

Agreed, especially after the fan speculation of Idris Elba and Michael Fassbender, who would both be the GOAT Bond after of course Connery.
Honestly, WB can't be happy at all these past few years. Last year was full of bombas for them, Pan, Jupiter Ascending, We Are Your Friends, Our Brand is Crisis, Entourage, and more. Most of their successful movies was low budget comedy + San Andreas and whatever take away from American Sniper came.
Now this is the year where BvS is supposed to kickstart their super hero universe and it has fallen flat on its face. LOTR is done with. DCCU is off to a piss poor start. They better hope the new Potter series catches on.

I don't think they can salvage Superman, TBH. Either we reboot completely or we stay with Cynicman.
I'd still rather watch BvS any day of the week than have to endure watching Age of Ultron or Thor 2 again. Now those deserved to flop.
You think anyone's going to be talking about those films still in 10 years time? Even Deadpool is flavour of the month zeitgeist claptrap. BvS will still be on peoples minds wether you like it or not.

Bat v supes will be on everyone's mind in a way that a big wet dump is on a person's mind.
What? What makes you say that?
It's Batman fighting Superman with Wonder Woman and was the lead in to a gigantic cinematic universe to rival Marvel's. Not to mention the fact that hitting one billion isn't the mega-accomplishment it used to be. WB is gonna be pissed if this doesn't reach a billion.
In the year 2016:
