My worst fear is that Dredd will do OKish, and then we end up with one or two crappy, lazy, low-rent, straight to DVD sequels that involve few of the original cast and crew.

In that case I think I'd prefer no sequels at all.


Wouldn't Rebellion -and maybe Wagner at least informally- have to agree to that? Not sure they wish to go down that path.

Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Green Arrow. In other words the central characters of Justice League since Silver Age...  They outsell Marvel.

Those individual characters may have the top of the market ... but overall Marvel have whipped DC for the last 30 years.  That was the whole reason for the "New 52" re-launch.

What is most interesting is that DC felt they had to re-boot many of these "top" characters too.  Maybe they realised that their "top-ness" is now under threat.

These historical graphs tell a very clear story:

So?

I think my point was perfectly clear the idea that Judge Dredd is more well known in USA than Green Lantern was beyond laughable. Green Lantern outsells Marvel characters.

I wasn't giving a big up to DC or putting down Marvel...

'Nuff said', I don't think you win a 'no prize' for this.

Apologies ... got totally the wrong angle on your point, which -- as you say -- is pretty clear on re-reading.

I second that motion your honour, we'll have none of that negativity on this site (unless your name is Scott Nestle, in which case, BUGGER OFF SCOTT!), Dredd is going to be awesome, I predict right here (and y'all can hold me to it) that it will do Watchmen numbers in worldwide box-office takings - around the $180m (give or take a few million either way) mark - and we more-likely-than-not will see a sequel around 2015... and I stand by every word (which I'll probably end up regretting, but my faith in DNA Films is absolute and steadfast)!!!

Agreed....I'm more optimistic than I was at first and am even starting to prefer the uniform redesign.

There's a lot of Judges in this Movie or the two lead characters sweated so much they had to change Helmets [oh er missus] regularly.
