How do we know it’s a blockbuster? I hate this hype of movies. Premature.

I cringe at any attempt to reinvent a great movie. Especially in this age of cynicism and “darkness” and “reality”.

Depends on the movie IMO. Some should have been dark to begin with but due to either PR concerns or the tech of the time, were all ‘prettied up’.

70s/80s Superman movies were of their time and IMO Superman never was that ‘dark’ to begin with. The 80s Batman movies were entertaining, but the new ones to me aren’t even dark enough. The entire Batman story is blacker than black top to bottom.

It just depends.

There’s no way to know how it will perform in the theatres, because it would depend on what it is up against. However, everything I’ve seen suggests that it will break $500 million minimally.

That is blockbuster territory.
