They could slap some garbage together for $50 million, spend $200 million on marketing it and DCEU fanturds would still flock to see it in their droves and proclaim it is awesome.

Like, if half the JL costs $250 million on their own, how much f#cking money is JL gonna cost?
If you can't defend a movie without bashing another, you will be put on ignore. No exceptions.

They could end up spending well over $400 million on production and marketing costs. That's a waste of money though. Cut production costs and market the sh!t out of it and DCEU fanturds will still flock into theaters like zombies.

Even if it a movie 160 minutes of batfleck grunting
if they market it like suicide squad, with trailers that didn't appear on the movie
DCEU Fan would call it a masterpiece
So.Yeah.Um.Pineapple!

DCEU fanturds would find a way to laud a 3 hour movie shot on a GoPro of Zack the hack dressed in batsuit, pissing into the wind.

"CBR" movies are for the kiddies.
Not as mature as MCU/Nefflix TV shows for the grown ups.

Yes, "DCEU fanturds" support this crap but that's just a drop in the bucket. The $200 million on marketing is the key because it cons real people with actual brains in to the seats in the first two weeks of release. THAT is the key.
