So...Summer 2015...

I'm still running on fumes right now, but one of the 'outings' at SDCC has been on my mind:

It's been made clear that the film won't be adapting The Dark Knight Returns...even though they had a guy read from the book to the crowd as the announcement was made.

This shows that DC/WB are taking a different route than Marvel Studios.

With Iron Man, Marvel Studios made a statement. They said "We're making a film with one of our characters our way." And it worked, making over $585 million worldwide.

For their next film, Marvel Studios used a completely different character in a completely different story, but through references, dialogue and eventually a cameo appearance, Marvel Studios made an even bigger statement: "We're building a movie universe."

Over at DC/WB, Man of Steel also made a statement. It said "We're giving Superman a fresh approach." And it worked, making over $636 million worldwide.

That's right folks - MoS has brought in more money than Iron Man.

But just like with Marvel Studios, the second film that DC/WB comes out with is making the bigger statement: "We're building a movie universe one sequel at a time."

Yeah, there's talk of a Flash film in 2016 and a Justice League film in 2017, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they announce the follow-up film to Batman vs. Superman/Superman vs. Batman with another image:
