For the record, I'm not saying this because I dislike the character, Ben Affleck's performance, or Matt Reeves as a director, but I don't think the movie needs to be made. Batman has already been milked to death. DC is finally starting to give their other heroes their own films, so why go back to Batman? Even in terms of money, Batman doesn't seem to be that big of a cash cow anymore. The Lego Batman Movie hasn't really done that great at the box office compared to The Lego Movie, and the merchandise for BvS apparently didn't sell all that well from what I've heard, and you can't attribute that to poor reviews, because reviews should have no bearing on whether or not kids want to buy some toys.
Honestly, at this point, I don't even think there's much hype for Batman anymore. I think people are getting sick of him. The WW film currently has more hype built around it than the JL movie, which is headlining Batman as a major character.
This also applies to the supporting characters like Nightwing and Batgirl. There's no reason to give those guys their own movies. Let's focus more on the characters who aren't tied to Batman.

I would rather see Shazam!/Superman battle Black Adam or Green Lantern Corps, or Flash etc.. |

Let's focus more on the characters who aren't tied to Batman. i agree to an extent, i still want "The Batman" but nightwing, gotham city sirens and batgirl.......less so, or at least for the time being, because i want a Flash, Green Lantern Corps, a JL: Dark, still curious about the Shazam (even though i'm not really asking for it......) hell i want my MoS2. regarding lego batman, it might be a lego/animated thing rather than a batman thing. also the marketing didn't hit me in the right ways, also they kind of marketed it for an entire year, rather than closer to the release date....i mean they started their marketing right after BvS. i could be wrong, but that's my take on it. |

I'm looking forward to The Flash movie...
But I have no interest in seeing a Batgirl movie, I have doubts if a Wonder Woman film can be successful, and I just have trouble envisioning an entire movie with just Aquaman.
As for the rest of all these DC/Marvel Superhero films coming out, I wish Hollywood would just take a break from them for a while...
There is just so many of them, they are getting hard to follow, and I am starting to get tired of them constantly being constantly shoved in my face... (You have to see them to see the next ones.)
Plus, with so many of them in production, and linked together, I think the movies are not as good as they could be, because they are being rushed into production.
Anyway, that's just two cents worth of my opinion.

As far as MoS2 is concerned, that was pretty much what BvS was. It was a direct continuation of the previous film, and Snyder and Terrio have even referred to it as the second film of a skirt of "trilogy", with JL being the third one. |

I mean it more like a solo film, because BvS is obviously an amalgamation of ideas they had for MoS2 with The Dark Knight Returns. |

The solo Batman movie is the only planned DC movie right now that I think will be good no matter what. Reeves has proven himself to be a good action director AND a good writer. DC needs that.
Not to mention that it's Batman, which should be enough as it is.

Like I mentioned in the OP, I really don't think Batman is a very big cash-cow these days. I think people are sick of him. I can certainly live without another Batman film. |

Would we have gotten all those movies with X-men in the MCU at the beginning? Batman is their fallback and shows what would happen if Iron Man and Thor and Captain America didn't work out. |

Since the X-Men aren't with the MCU, there's not much of a point in pondering that. |

Absolutely agree. Batman has been done to death. I think it's part of the problem with DC...all they have is Batman and they keep doing him over and over and not putting much effort into their other interesting characters.

It's not that Batman is all they have, it's that he's the one who's experienced the most success in the past. Even the widely praised DCAU was very Batman centric, considering that he had 2 spin-offs and no less than 4 movies set in that continuity. I'm hoping Wonder Woman and Aquaman can change things, but I can't be too sure. |

But I am sure of one thing...I am sick to death of seeing solo Batman movies. They've been done to death. |
