We'll see it at least looks better than Ms Marvel.
The CGI has a chance to improve and I know of many instances of it looking dodgy in a trailer and then fine in the movie itself.

I think the release date didn't help it at all either.
They'd released the three movies prior to it in December and that had worked out really well for them.
To then release Solo in May was too soon, for two reasons being #1....it was too soon, it wasn't even half a year since the last one came out and #2 being that Episode VIII was very divisive and that needed a bit of time to go away a little.
Should have released in December 2018.

Namor is a pretty significant character that's not been used yet.

I wouldn't mind Robin actually, its been a damn long time since we last had him in a movie.
I actually wouldn't be against them having Scarecrow as a villain, he'd go well with this series and while the TDK version wasn't bad he was just a second fiddle villain at that.

Spider-Man is obviously popular enough to be the face of the MCU n own that Iron Man is gone but that will never happen while Marvel Studios don't even have the full rights to him.

I saw it earlier, as someone else said it wasn't the cameo fest I expected it to be or at least the internet seemed to make out. I can't say I'm not a little disappointed by that because I did have the Illuminate roster spoiled for me on Youtube days ago.
I suppose it was cool they had the likes of Reed Richards, Black Bolt and Professor X but in the movie itself not much came of it. I was really hoping the after credits scene was going to do something to set up the Fantastic Four or X-men movies but no just nothing. I can't help but feel it was a bit of a waste.
Aside from that how does Professor X relate to all this? Is there any connection to the X-men movies there? Is the X-men movie series another universe? Is it just a completely separate Professor X who happens to be being played by Patrick Stewart? Much like JK Simmons did for Jonah Jameson?
If other versions of Dr Strange and Christine still look like Benedict Cumberbatch and Rachel Mcadams then why do Peter Parkers look different?
Is there a Patrick Stewart Professor X in the main timeline?
Is the crappy Inhumans TV series set in the main timeline?
All that aside I did like the movie and also that they did tie WandaVision into as heavily as they did and the show wasn't just waved off because it was a streaming show.

I ended up seeing this trailer before it even released online apparently. It did look fantastic on the big screen.

if BvS made 100 million + more and was disappointment , than The Batman underperformed , similar to Batman Begins Not necessarily. It wasn't that much of a disappointment. Deadline estimated that it had a profit of $105 million. It was also a very costly movie with a budget of $250 to $300 million. It ended up making 2.9-3.5x it's budget. The Batman only cost $185 to $200 million. So it made 3.8-4.1x it's budget. That's with the covid and war still having an effect too. Oh and Batman Begins only did 2.5x it's budget.

They really do make some boggling choices.
Venom made plenty sense. Morbius and Kraven...no? Madam Web and El Muerto, just why?
As someone said Spider-Man 2099 would make plenty sense. Maybe Spider-Man Noir. Miles Morales and what not.
Why make movies that just won't make money at all.

I'd love it myself. I'd be more interested in that than any other MCU movie they could make.

Saw it today. I thought it was a very good film but overtime it went from being a 9/10 to a 8/10 for me.
I thought Batman as a character is probably the best live action Batman so far. Didn't get for the Bruce Wayne but an excellent Batman. Action was very good, as was Riddler, the atmosphere etc.
I just feel like it was a bit too long. I'm not sure how long it actually was without the credits but if it had been 20 to 30 mins shorter, if they could have made that work then it's have been a 9/10 for me and a Top 3 Batman movie.

Who would you say they were from most to least?
Obviously Joker is the most famous. Who would be after that though? Catwoman?
Then who after that? I'm thinking Penguin, Riddler, Two Face, Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Bane and Mr.Freeze would be the ones that would surely make it up.
But yeah taking out Joker and seeing as Catwoman is more of an anti villain I'm not sure who would be Batman's most famous villain.

I'll just say from Captain America to Captain America Winter Soldier as nobody else has said it.

They could very well just vanish forever. Such is the eventual fate of all streaming shows. I'm not sure if it's the case in the US but in the UK they brought them out on Blu Ray though unfortunately they stopped with Iron Fist Season 1. You can get Daredevil Season 1 and 2 but not 3.

Possibly but the extended cut adjust felt more needed for Justice League.
With Avengers, all the Heroes expect for Hawkeye had been established and even the villain Loki. You could even say the same for the plot device object the Tesseract too.
Justice League had to debut half its roster, Steppenwolf and the Mother Boxes. It just felt empty originally because it was all glossed over.

Watched it again recently and forgot just how good it was, it's so much better than the original it's just ridiculous.
I don't know even know if I prefer this to The Avengers, in some ways it is better.

Another mini-series on Disney+? How many of those are they going to make? Hawkeye is coming up soon, and also She-Hulk. Are there any others that I should know about? Ms Marvel is the other one this year. There's also Armour Wars starring War Machine and Secret Invasion starring Nick Fury in the making.

I wouldn't mind seeing Venom done right. Maybe combine the plot with Secret Wars somehow and have a mix of other Heroes and Villains.
