I think BVS has a chance of either being really good, or really weak depending on what style it is made in. If it's like The Avengers, in a way that it tells an interesting story and makes all the characters in the movie feel natural and relevant to the overall movie, then I could definitely see it redeeming DC. But, if it ends up just being a two hour advertisement for The Justice League (Like Iron Man 2 with The Avengers, or Age of Ultron is for Avengers: Infinity Wars) it could honestly do lousy and get mediocre reviews at best, they would need to rely on films like Suicide Squad to carry the universe in ratings.

Definitely going to make some profits though, it's Superman vs Batman for Jove's sake. Any comic book fan would love that stuff! :) Oh yeah, I was talking to a friend of mine(who I cannot name for privacy reasons) about Suicide Squad. This is how it went.

Me: Oh, this looks like a good movie. A team of outlaws must band together to save the day when a crazy psychotic murderer wants to cause destruction.

Friend: Oh yeah, I love that movie! I got it for Christmas last year!

Me: But it hasn't come out yet.

Friend: What are you on about? Of course Guardians of the Galaxy is already out. We watched it last October!

Me: This isn't Guardians of the Galaxy.

Friend: You sure? What's the difference.

Me: Well, it's dark and it's not in space.

Friend: So, it's Guardians of the Galaxy but not in space and not funny?

Me: Pretty much.

Friend: That doesn't sound like a good movie at all.

Me: Well, I just watched a trailer now. It's very suspenseful and scary, and there's a creepy rendition of a classic song that links to the bad guy's charact-

Friend: Oh, I love that trailer. James Spader's cover of I've got no Strings is the scariest thing I've ever heard.

Me: No, this trailer's for Suicide Squad, not Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Friend: For Thor's sake, is there any Marvel ensemble movie this Suicide Squad film isn't ripping off!?
