Bosco685 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Not bad results compared to other DC and Marvel movies since 2017. Even topping the recent #Venom run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callaway29 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Surprised the trench spinoff hasn’t been mentioned. Apparently Wan has agreed to do a low-budget thriller spinoff on the trench, excluding the aquaman cast... WolverineX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paperheart Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 final total may come up just shy of the $1.15BB of Cap:CW. #profitsdeeperthantheTrench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimik Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) I wonder if it can hit $810M internationally ($800M seems a given)? That would be a huge accomplishment for a C tier DC character. Edited February 11, 2019 by kimik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you make your tiers very small and say he's in Tier-C with Shazam (who's a wildcard due to his history) & maybe Green Arrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash, GL (although Hal Jordan was my first love), Atom, Hawkman tier b, Wonder Woman is tier A;) and if she was not before Lynda Carter, she is now.

I wonder if to answer this would it make sense to have a common definition what a Tier A/1, Tier B/2, Tier C/3 even means. Tier A/1: Everyone knows their name and recognizes their symbols. Tier B/2: If you have watched animated or live comic book TV shows or movies over the years, you recognize these characters. Tier C//3: Comic book readers would know them. Most probably nobody else. To me, the former are characters used as flagship representatives of a company. Such as with Marvel over the years it always used Captain America, Iron Man, Spider-Man and Hulk on any letterhead, advertising or even company-sponsored fan clubs (FOOM). Maybe we can include Wolverine on this list due to 80's and 90's over-saturation. For DC, I would have to say it is Batman, Joker, Superman, Wonder Woman. Maybe I would include Aquaman.

When I was a kid, I was a DC junkie, not Marvel, so I can only relate to those titles. Superman and Batman and Wonder Woman were the 3 titles I ran to get first. Then GL and the Flash and maybe JLA. Atom and Hawkman and Aquaman were the books you bought if none of the others were new and you still had some money left;) House of Secrets and Strange Adventures were books I'd read if the Dentist had them...unless there were great covers;) Larryw7 and Red84 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And (you might be pleased to know) I still re-read the Wonder Woman story in that coverless/repro copy of Sensation # 1 you sold me every year. That said, my view of A vs. B vs. C-tier comic characters was colored mostly by my experience collecting comics as a kid in the late 80s/early 90s. A-list at that time: Batman, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Punisher, Ghost Rider (the _most popular_ characters) B-list: Superman, Captain America, Wonder Woman, Daredevil, Hulk, Iron Man, the other X-Men, Green Lantern, Flash, G.I. Joe, Spawn, Thor (mainstream, well-known characters that most in the general public would have heard of) C-list: Doctor Strange, Silver Surfer, Teen Titans, She-Hulk (solid characters that may have had trouble supporting their own title consistently since the 1960s -- always around, but not *necessarily* in their own book) D-list: Ant-Man, Hawkman, Jonah Hex, Sub-Mariner, The Atom, Legion of Superheroes, Power Pack, Doom Patrol, Moon Knight (could rarely support their own book, even if they once did) What's remarkable is how the movies have changed this perception. Today, Iron Man is arguably as famous as Spider-Man among non-comic collectors --because he's been in far more popular movies over the last decade. Likewise, Batman still trumps Wonder Woman in overall awareness and popularity due to his multiple film appearances since 2000 -- more than double that of Wonder Woman's. Then there's Black Panther -- who vaulted onto the A-list among among the general public based on a single strong film, and caught a lot of 40-something comic nerds by surprise in doing so. skypinkblu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also include HOM and My greatest adventure in that last group and put Mystery in Space (Adam Strange for our younger members) up with GL, Flash,JLA, If only for the beautiful Infantino covers every month. skypinkblu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the 1950's Superman live TV show, Marvel 1966 animated TV shows, and 1960's Batman TV show, a different media has provided general audience awareness of these characters. Just now it is more massive and widespread than ever before. So gauging by just comic book awareness has outgrown our experiences. skypinkblu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
