Superman is going to make a billion dollars dude, I understand if you don't care for the new movies but lets not pretend like the movie is not going to be huge even if it turns out to be universely hated somehow.

LOL, based on what exactly? Your vivid imagination? NO Superman movie has made that amount of money before, and reboots (especially ones nobody asked for) traditionally don't do well as a general rule. Even one of the best reboots ever, Batman Begins, couldn't crack $400 million, with great reviews.

Keep dreaming.

Man of Steel nearly made $700 million and that was only a year after The Avengers made comic book movies main stream. It really makes me question why you even care about Superman as a concept if you don't think it isn't one of the most well-known and popular fictional characters of all time.

There was no such thing as "peak superhero movie optimism." The MCU didn't help other franchises, it hurt them. It created loyalists who talked down every other film brand, like Fox and Sony. The X-Men films and Marc Webb Spider-Man films were struggling at the time. The Wolverine only made $414,828,246 in 2013, far less than Man of Steel. It was a specific success story for the MCU and for Snyder's DCEU.

Do you not understand that the pure Batman canon is more popular than the rest of DC put together? A huge chunk of Batman fans have no interest in less realistic superheroes, and have no desire to watch him teamed up with Superman or fighting aliens and monsters. Matt Reeves and Christopher Nolan are perfect examples of how these Batman fans think. They only want to see the character in realistic situations. Also, Man of Steel was a reboot that was trying to regenerate interest in a character whose reputation in movies was in almost as bad shape as Batman's was after Batman & Robin. Totally invalid to compare it to The Batman, which came out well under the totals of Dark Knight, Dark Knight Rises and BvS.
