The more I think about it, the more I missed Clark Kent. You know, the grown-up Clark Kent in Metropolis. He was non-existent until the very end of the movie. I think that would have brought in the charm. Even at the end, he looked more like Hugh Grant than Clark Kent. |

It did well whether serial haters like it or not.
Biggest comic book reboot ever. Stick that in your pipe and find a new hobby. Oh and the overwhelming majority of people I know who saw it liked it with a few who thought it was disappointing, one of them being a comic book geek who hates Superman.
And it actually did well off the back of a poor Superman film in 2006, and with Snyders name attached to it.

Hopefully we see mor Doc him in the sequel. And hopefully they don't make him painfully serious. I don't mean clumsy geek but Cain's Kent would be nice. I like the clumsy geek Kent. I want him to be polar opposite of Supes. |

It HAS been a while since we've seen that. Even Routh wasn't that dorky.

Not sure where the the heck your getting this biggest stuff from. |

I want him to be polar opposite of Supes. Lol the Byrne nerds will call you out for saying that since its not like the "modern" comics. Hey I'd love it but do you really see Snyder and Goyer taking that farther than Routh did? it's interesting but that Clark goes in cycles with everyone who played both roles. Odd numbered live action guys went more for the split. Alyn, Reeve, Christopher, and Routh did that. Reeves, Newton, Cain all went the other way. The more self assured Kent. Rouths Kent was the best middle ground for clumsy Kent IMO. there were two sides to his Clark. I can't remember what John Rockwell did though. It seemed to be more Reeves like but that pilots never been officially released |

It did well whether serial haters like it or not. Biggest comic book reboot ever. Stick that in your pipe and find a new hobby. You keep saying that. BIG FUCKING DEAL. How many comic book reboots are there anyway? 3? How about origin stories? How has MOS, as an origin story, fared against other origin stories? I'll tell you: In terms of tickets sold, MOS sold marginally better than Batman Begins, (which followed Batman & Robin), and The Amazing Spiderman and gets its ass kicked by Spiderman 1, Iron Man 1, and---of course---STM. So how does MOS fare against the superhero genre in general? It ranks #19 for tickets sold. Avengers, TDK, TDKR, Spiderman, STM, SII, X2, X3, BR, IM, IM 2, IM 3, and the list goes on. MOS had a great trailer and did a great job getting people excited, but the reviews didn't help and word-of-mouth fizzled the film's performance. There was a big "womp, womp, womp" after that opening weekend from audiences, and that excruciating 60 some odd percent decrease the following weekend proves it. And now they got Batman to try to cover Superman's ass for his next shot at the boxoffice. Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it. |

When it comes to this "biggest" stuff I don't see how its even close. Spidey probably made what WB was hoping MOS would make. |

Sorry I should have said domestic. Which seemed very relevant when people were asking why it didnt resonate with US audiences. Fucking idiots  |

You said biggest ever. Not just with US audiences. Besides the US is now secondary to foreign markets and MOS didn't do as well as some other films with overseas markets either.

Biggest reboot domestic, EVER. I mean we are claiming it didnt connect with US audiences right? Besides? I'm not interested in excuses sorry. I'm pretty much at the point of being totally fed up reading essays of jilted fanboy bollocks on here. I'll wait for the Blu-Ray, enjoy it, then when MOS2 goes into production you guys can start sweating your balls off and biting your nails until you're sure there's enough there for you to criticize 300 words at a time |

Tow that line, boy. You also said "biggest comic book reboot EVER" before this thread was even created to describe MOS's success. And nobody was talking about the USA exclusively that time. What's your excuse for that? WB loves guys like you. |

Those were the only hard numbers I could find. Didn't realize they were US only when I posted. And the site doesn't have a category for superhero/comic book reboot. If you think about it, it's a short list. What properties have been rebooted? Three I can think of, Superman, Batman, Spider-Man. Everything else has only had one cinematic version, even if you go back to franchises started in the early 2000s like Blade or X-Men. MoS definitely out-grossed Batman Begins, so it's No. 2 on a short list. On a side note, it is amusing that there is a category for sequel to a remake .. with The Mummy Returns as the top US grosser. Ha! |

Box office mojo has domestic and foreign grosses.
Comic book reboots besides the ones you mentioned? There arent many but a few more are The Incredible Hulk and Punisher Warzone which were softer reboots than MOS. Dredd was a reboot. There might be a couple more I'm just not thinking of but the current books only been going for a little over a decade. Not much time for a lot of films to be rebooted. A lot are in the pipeline but haven't filmed yet.

Yep. Thanks to the resources and Nolans name being thrown at it. There was no way it wasn't going to make decent money unless it was god awful. Most of the other reboots didn't have those advantages. Punishers always going to be niche if they do it right. It could be great and still not make hundreds of millions of dollars
