shareThe fallout?
Very few, if any, future comic book movies that take a grounded or experimental approach, challenge the viewer, or are anything different from the lightweight PG-13 movies popularised by Marvel and used by DC after BvS.
This is more likely what WB will interpret from the poor box office. Nothing to do with quality.
What has happened with this movie has now given the studios ammunition to carry on making the comic book movies they usually make.
Using this as an example that R rated comic book movies do not sell, unless they are funny.
It wouldn't surprise me if the people at Marvel and Disney, behind the scenes, use this movie as proof why they make the movies the way they do.
And again, nothing to do with quality. But tone and rating.
