With this weekend
DC's "The New Batman" was released in the mainland
imply:
The remaining 5 DC SuperHero masterpieces
The release on the mainland will be unimpeded.
And whether Marvel can return to the mainland
It's still unknown.
On the viewing scene of "The New Batman"
There are even DC fans who have played
Such provocative slogans:
Marvel, we're released, what about you?
Voting time
Word
DC amplified the move, Marvel panicked?

The new Batman
Standalone film Dark Character
Follow pocket movie Jun video number
After 1 month, we have to do something big, and everyone should make an appointment first
The global box office exceeded $1 billion
is a measure of a Hollywood brand film company
One of the most important indicators.
There are 10 Marvel Cinematic Universe MCUs.
And DC has only 4 parts:
Aquaman $1.148 billion
The Dark Knight Rises $1.08 billion
Joker $1.074 billion
The Dark Knight $1 billion
In all-results-oriented Hollywood
DC chose to walk on two legs at the same time:
1) DC Extended Universe
2) Indie film Dark Wind New character
Obviously, choose Robert Pattinson
"The New Batman", which plays the male number one, is the second kind of project logic.
Batman
The character was first born in 1939.
Cartoonist Bill Finger
Draw nourishment from the popular culture of the time:
Combine Zorro's dual identity with the nature of the strong to help the weak
Sherlock Holmes's cool head and detective talent
The Night Fears the Power of The Spokesperson Dracula
Mash-ups merge into this one character.
Since its birth 83 years ago,
Eight actors have played Batman.
As the 9th Batman in history
Robert Pattinson's screen image is subversive
Create a completely different Bruce Wayne:
His hair is divided in mid-section, full of scars, dark circles, and smoky makeup under his eyes
A dark and decadent Avenger look
He is more like a worried hermit and a night walker
And not a celebrity, a playboy.
apparently
Robert Pattinson, who became famous for starring in "The Twilight Zone."
It is the most Gothic vampire temperament of the generation of Batman.
I've seen it too many times in the past
Bruce Wayne witnessed his parents being killed
This "New Batman" will no longer deal with the origin story
Straight from Bruce Wayne's second year as Batman.
Explored in previous Batman films
Rarely mentioned identity: detective.
Be aware
The full name of DC is Decent Comics.
The whole of The New Batman
Presented to us
Ever
The darkest style of Gotham City:
An opening
The arch-villain Riddler killed the mayor
And very arrogantly left anagram cards
Test Batman's level of intelligence.
As the anagram series deepens
Batman gradually finds himself guided by the Riddler
Uncover the real secrets of Gotham City:
Collusion between officials and businessmen
Originally
The entire Gotham City system collapsed
Celebrities in politics and the political and legal system all work for gangsters
The mayor had to nod his head when he took office.
Have to say
In an age of dazzling superheroes
Batman without superpowers is slightly shabby
You can only rely on Lao Tzu's super money to brush up on the sense of existence.
therefore
Same as we are
Robert Pattinson's version of Batman is also flesh and blood.
The movements are not agile enough, the mind is not smart enough, and the body will be tired.
After experiencing countless darknesses in Gotham City
Still have faith.
The villain Riddler who runs through the main line
Abandoned Kim Carey's pompous and bright green dress
The modus operandi is as secretive as the Zodiac Killer
Wrap yourself up like a real terrorist
And his motive for committing the crime came from childhood
Growing up in orphanages, there was a lack of social assistance
Let his growth be full of suffering.
however
A greater sin than the villain Riddler
It is the systemic sin of Gotham City.
Police, mayors, governments, triads
They are all part of institutional corruption.
Unlike Anne Hathaway's version of Catwoman's mysterious charm
This time Catwoman is very Ji very cool
It is entirely the image of a modern independent woman
Rather than falling in love, I am more concerned about making money
Every film is a footnote to the times.
Directed by Matt Reeves
Create an unprecedented dark psychedelic
Gotham City with a bit of a cyber taste
The composition is beautiful, like an oil painting.
The atmosphere and control are better than the story itself is very cinematic.
The style of the whole movie
It's easy to remind fans of "Seven Deadly Sins"
Dark and full of suspense
really
Superhero blockbusters
There is still an irresistible allure for North American film fans
March 18
After DC's "New Batman" landed in North American theaters
The first weekend of painting was won for $134 million
The global box office has exceeded $598 million
Word of mouth
The New Batman
CinemaScore Score A-
Rotten Tomatoes Freshness 85%
Audience Popcorn Index 88%
IMDb 8.4.
This is a super-British film with brilliant audiovisual language and strong authorial style
It has officially detonated the mainland cinema line.
Douban score 7.7 points
Very worth mentioning
The nearly 3-hour "New Batman"
Not an adrenaline-pumping tablet like Fork Wars Circle.
It's a superhero genre
Further explorations on the films of realist authors:
Maverick detective
A mysterious beauty who is in a hurry
Suppress the dim urban backdrop
A single case involves complex political intrigues and scandals
Typical film noir.
Word
At a time when the epidemic is serious in the country, a large number of theaters are closed
The mainland box office of "The New Batman" has just exceeded 75 million yuan
The trend is very unoptimistic.
The final box office is expected to be less than 200 million.

Black Adam
Popular superstar Charm villain
As the most popular action star in Hollywood today
Calls for Dwayne Johnson to join DC/Marvel have been high.
After years of hesitation
Dwayne Johnson ultimately chose DC.
Because
He was the perfect candidate to play Black Adam
In early DC comics
Black Adam is a simple villain
He was born in ancient Egypt
For saving the vast number of slaves from fire and water
He was imprisoned and sealed for five thousand years.
Five thousand years later
Black Adam was finally able to see the light of day
The fire of revenge that has been accumulated for thousands of years
Determined to destroy all who stand in his way.
And in the new version of the "Black Adam" comic
The character becomes more plump, not simply bad.
If the writers and directors don't roll over
Black Adam is likely to become after the Joker
Another popular DC anti-hero character.
In order to play the stout Black Adam
1 m 95 m tall 118 kg weight Dwayne Johnson
Plus fitness
and publicly stated:
Such a film project is something that cannot be found in a lifetime
I was born to play Black Adam
It can take the DC Cinematic Universe to the next level
And bring the Justice Society of America (JSA) to audiences around the world.
In the movie
Black Adam will become the boss of the Justice Society of America
recruit
Doctor Destiny, Doctor Destiny, Hawkman, Whirlwind, and Atomic Crusher
Join the team
Black Adam has all the powers of Superman
But the difference is that he has magic
seemingly
As long as "Black Adam" is good enough at the box office
future
Henry Cavill's version of Superman
And Dwayne Johnson's version of Black Adam, there will be a battle!

Thunder Shazam! The wrath of the gods
Sand sculpture children against the new gods
Recently, Warner announced:
Shazam 2, originally scheduled for June 2, 2023
It is filed until December 16, 2022.
Instead of "Aquaman 2", it was released on the same day as "Avatar 2"
Director David Sandberg humorously tweeted:
It's going to be head-on with Avatar 2
Poor James Cameron
I must be trembling with fear now...
In 2019, "Shazam" invested $100 million
Grossed $360 million worldwide.
When it was released in the mainland, it was criticized
Childish DC sand sculpture children's film
The final mainland box office was less than 300 million yuan
The sequel is subtitled "Wrath of the Gods."
"Little Fart" Shazam provoked his own source of divine power
Daughters of Atlas, the ancient Greek titan god:
"Sister" Helen Mirren + "Sister" Liu Yuling
Shazam will be unveiled in a cool new uniform
Compared to the small fights in the first episode
Thunder Shazam 2: Wrath of the Gods will have a grander scene.
In comics
There is a lot of intersection between Shazam and Black Adam
Since it was released after "Black Adam"
Will Shazam 2 arrange for Dwayne Johnson to visit?

Aquaman 2
Blockbuster sequel continues
As the world's top 1.1 billion DC box office king
The "Aquaman" series directed by Wen Ziren is quite expected by Chinese film fans
Because of the divorce with Johnny Depp
Amber Hilde, who was in a stormy city
Continue to return to play the "queen of the sea" Mela
Judging from the on-set photos that Wen Ziren posted earlier
This episode will most likely be involved
The story of Aquaman's father Atlan
He was the ruler of the ancient kingdom of Atlantis
It was he who caused Atlantis to sink into the sea.
In the end credits of the first Aquaman easter egg
The black manta ray was rescued from the sea by Dr. Shen
In a nutshell, he wanted to seek revenge on the Sea King.
Presumably, the two of them will have a fight!
As a master of horror films
Wen Ziren's passage in The Trench State in Sea King 1
Water monsters that make dense object phobia uncomfortable are shown
Bridge section with creepy Wicked Valley
Let fans get the cult bad taste of the horror master.
This time "Aquaman 2"
Wen Ziren called himself
Inspired by the 1965 Italian sci-fi horror film Demon Planet.
The film tells the story
The spaceship lands on a mysterious planet
The crew is possessed by an unknown demon.
Whether it is from the IP sellability, or high expectation value
Aquaman 2 is one of the six DC masterpieces
The most promising blockbuster at the global box office to break through $1 billion+

The Flash
Flashpoint Event Hero Linkage
DC is about to start playing parallel universes too!
Same as The New Batman
The Flash won't be an origin story either
In za's edited version of Justice League
The backstory of The Little Flash has already been told
The Flash indie film will revolve around
Flashpoint events in DC Comics unfold
tell:
The Flash Barry Allen
Travel back in time to save your mother
I inadvertently changed history
Plunge the world into war
Justice League is gone
The result is a parallel universe
Met another "Flash", Supergirl
and
Older version of "Batman" Michael Keaton
and the big version of Batman
But there is no Nolan's version of "Batman" played by Christian Bell
It's just that the two bats are in the same frame, not the three bats in the same frame.
The fate of this version of the independent film "The Flash" is really bad
As early as 2014, the project was announced
The earliest is set for 2018
It has undergone N reschedulings
The latest file date is June 23, 2023
Extranet rumors:
Wonder Woman and Aquaman are expected to appear in the film
Form a brand new Justice League
"Spider-Man: Heroes Of No Return" sold $1.88 billion at the box office
A new era of parallel universes in MCU has officially opened
I don't know what kind of box office energy Warner DC's "The Flash" can burst this time.

Blue beetle
DC Version Venom Origin Story
The character of Blue Beetle was born in 1939
It has a long history and can be compared with Superman and Batman.
This "Blue Beetle" will land in the summer of 2023
It was dc's first film to focus on Latin superheroes.
At present, only the director and screenwriter have been decided.
Who the lead actor is is still in the stage of secrecy.
The film will focus on the third generation of blue beetle Jaime Reyes,
Reyes lives with his parents and sister in El Paso, Texas.
The second generation of the Blue Beetle Corde dispatched the Scarab before he died
Go deliver a letter to Captain Marvel
The Scarab thus remained in Captain Marvel's Rock of Eternity.
After Captain Marvel is killed, scarabs land in El Paso, Texas, where they are picked up by teenager Jaime
afterward
The scarab fused into his spine as he slept
Jaime has since become the third generation of blue beetles
It has the ability to change weapons at will.
At this time
Blue Beetles can fly, have enhanced strength and endurance, and are able to translate alien languages.
Like Venom to Eddie Bullock
Gradually
Scarab and Jaime Reyes are also integrated.

After watching dc these 6 projects
The movie Jun felt that the core selling point was not very explosive
All belong to the global level of breaking 500 million US dollars+
Can it break $1 billion+
In all fairness
I'm still not optimistic.
Back in 2016
Marvel has already got the wealth code for the box office sales of super British movies:
Big coffee hugging, hero linkage
"American Team 2" 710 million US dollars
"American Team 3" broke $1.15 billion
Key Selling Points:
Lead the Iron Man PK US team
Thor 2 $640 million
Thor 3 $850 million
Important Gimmicks:
The Hulk teamed up with Brother Hammer
The first 6 "Spider-Man" have never broken the global box office of $1 billion+
Spider-Man: A Hero's Quest $1.13 billion
Spider-Man inherits the mantle of Iron Man
Spider-Man: Homeless $1.88 billion
Core Selling Points:
Three generations of Spider-Man in the same frame
As the film Jun said in previous film reviews:
For the vast majority of viewers
Whether there are three worms in the same frame
On the contrary, it is more important than the plot of the movie itself.
The post-pandemic era
Commercial gimmicks become incredibly important for a blockbuster.
Finally, answer the questions in the title
DC amplified the move, Marvel panicked?
My answer:
There are no recalls in DC
Henry Cavill's version of Superman performs hero linkage before
Marvel didn't panic at all.
