Looks like the next film will have Batman and Superman in it.

I'm unsure about how they will make this work, i think a direct sequel would be better but the comic book movie fans will love it.
Some tough competition coming up in the next month, i think Man Of Steel will drop substantially, there might be a chance if it does well in China but i think Superman doesn't have the same international appeal anymore that for example an Avengers film does have.
You can remind me of how wrong...
I don't think it will get anywhere near $800m worldwide, if it does then yes i agree with you it will be very good, my opinion is it will make between $500m and $600m worldwide.
Its good box office but not so good when you look at the overall cost of the production and some other films that have been made in the genre, mind you i have doubts about the claimed budget, i think the studio's do fiddle these figures, i mean a Bond film took over a billion worldwide last...
$113m dollar opening weekend and $125m dollars in total, i think Warner Bros will be happy with that, now let's see if it has legs and continues to make money next week and beyond.
P.S. Spoilers in the last post, you might want to add a spoiler tag, i now know something i shouldn't.
Thanks for the above link, i just read the review, It does seem to be a modern day problem with films in that they need to spell everything out, are audiences today really that stupid, it sounds like they might have forgotten to give this film a heart, that's something the original Christopher...
To answer my own question about General Zod and the others and whether they also have super powers, well the BBFC website was helpful.
"In the second half of the film, General Zod and his allies arrive on Earth to kill Superman. They all have the same superpowers as Superman and their battles...
I think its because he is a natural born Kryptonian, as mentioned above, he is the first born naturally in generations, maybe Zod and the others aren't and because of that don't have any powers, i hope not, i would like Superman to have a real challenge with his own kind being able to match his...
More original than we usually get and i never read the comics and i would argue that most of the potential audience for the film will never have read the comics either.
I think they got some of their inspiration for this new movie from the nineties television show of Superman, in that show they had Kryptonians come to Earth in a spaceship just like we see in the trailer for Man of Steel, i think originality is dead in Hollywood, if it ever really existed...
Just viewing the latest trailer, lots of action but it all seems a bit cold and typical of modern day films to me.

I listened to one called an ideal of hope, i like it, parts of it remind me of the John Williams theme when they are on Krypton at the beginning then it gets to the part with the drums ( snare ? ) and it reaches a crescendo, potentially very good, looking forward to hearing more.
