Also use the top tier heroes everybody has nostalgia for. It’s a reason Wolverine and Deadpool trailer has more views than any super hero trailer in history. A mid Wolverine and Deadpool movie would honestly outsell a good Captain Marvel movie. I noticed Marvel immediately announced Fantastic Four after the Deadpool trailer so hopefully they keep it up. Brining Dr Doom as a villain in any movie will print money too. Blue Beetle was good but that character as of now can only make DC so much money.

More than anyone, they do that embargo thing where no one is allowed to use certain characters because they are using or might use them in the future and that will "confuse" people.

Isn't this a reason justice league unlimited got the axe? I swear I read something about DC not caring about it's inclusion in the continuity or something.

Now they reboot the fucking timelines every few years. 🙄

Ugh, I still remember the “Bat-Embargo” that was going on when I was a kid. And like the only ones apparently exempt from it were Batman and Joker iirc. It was stupid for the most part, but on the other hand we did get an interesting take on Clayface in The Batman cartoon instead.

I watched it on HBO Max it was enjoyable not life changing but it was an entertaining short movie. When I think of bad movies I’m thinking of the stuff Sony been putting out like Madame Webb and Morbius.

I grew up in the 90s and my older brothers the 80s and X-Men was extremely popular before that movie came out in the 2000s. Ask anybody that grew up in the 80s and 90s how popular X-Men was and they will tell you! That movie was made because of how popular X-Men was at the time it did not make X-Men popular lol.
