If Warner Bros are gonna use "Justice LEague" to introduce the new "Batman" then they're doomed and have gone back to making absolutely stupid decisions with their comic book properties.


Before they can go the Justice League route, they have to make sure their Superman reboot is relevent to the audience.

It won't take much relevance for the audience it just has to make enough money and be good enough, not necessarily well recieved but good enough to warrant sequels, much like Thor, Captain America and The Incredible Hulk.


To be relevant to an audience means that said audience will go see the movie. ¬_¬

And Superman Returns made about the same amount as 2 of the movies you mentioned (Hulk's numbers are abysmal), yet the franchise is getting a reboot. 

WB wants Superman to be a pillar for them. They want to make the character relevant again, like he was in the 80s.  Below 400m isn't enough to satisfy and convince them, judging by how they weren't satisfied with SR's figures.

Yes but we're talking about Justice League here as well, not just Man of Steel. Superman Returns wasn't meant to have a sequel. If you read up on it you will find that it was actually already a sequel or so I read somewhere and WB never had any plans for another one, until Man Of Steel. Now with new plans on Justice League apparently booted up it would only take a modest sum to warrant a sequel say $200-$250, but we all know its going to make more than that anyway. Look at Batman Begins numbers, nowhere near the huge stellar blockbuster category but it still got its sequel and that's without plans for a Justice League movie. Whatever WB does from now on with relation to Justice League it will stick and whatever Man of Steel makes it will warrant a sequel as long as its figures are comparable to its rivals. If Man of Steel only makes as much as Thor/CA/TIH then thats fine because WB knows they will still be very financially successful in the long run with the Justice League tie in. Look at how much Thor/CA/TIH made then look at how much Avengers made.
