there have been others that have been penned by the media as "the summer of the super hero", (see: Hulk, Iron Man, Dark Knight in 2008; X-Men First Class, Thor, Green Lantern, Captain America in 2011), but check this shit...
Summer 2012:
The Amazing Spider-Man
The Avengers
Man Of Steel (alleged title of Superman reboot)
possibly Iron Man 3
and
The Dark Knight
Holy christ.
So.... who do you think will come out on top?
Avengers is not really a contender. It will have an ok first two weeks then tank. Iron Man just doesn't have a big enough fan base (comparatively speaking) to qualify him as a big contender. The real battle royale will be Superman VS Batman VS Spider-Man... the three biggest superheroes ever created.
Personaly, I think Spider-Man might make the most money, but Batman will win over the critics. Batman might have a shot at out-grossing Spidey, just because of all the drama surrounding the Spidey-Switch, and the change in tone of the new webslinger as compared to the old.
Superman has potential, however, to really blow shit up if it's done right. But since Snyder's at the helm, it probably won't be.
So it'll most likely come down to The Dark Knight Rises VS The Amazing Spider-Man.
What a fucking year this is going to be.
Yeah I'm a freaking nerdo. Any thoughts?
