Shocking Batman Box Office Stat Reveals DC"s Hidden Movie Goldmine

Summary

• Batman movies have been the most profitable for DC, with The Batman and Joker earning over $770 million and $1 billion respectively.
• The LEGO Batman Movie outperformed the last three DCEU films, earning $312 million worldwide on an $80 million budget.
• DC should consider tapping into the success of LEGO movies and explore a LEGO DC cinematic universe, with potential for sequels and spin-offs featuring characters like Superman and Wonder Woman.

Batman is one of DC's most profitable properties, but there's a specific stat regarding the Caped Crusader that reveals a hidden goldmine for DC. The DCEU has plummeted at the box office, leading to a reboot of the universe being led by Peter Safran and James Gunn. While the DCEU has hits like Aquaman and Wonder Woman, its recent entries, including The Flash, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, and Blue Beetle were all box office bombs. However, Batman movies have remained a consistent earner for DC.
Despite being outside the DCEU, The Batman and Joker have been the studio's most profitable recent endeavors. Joker grossed over $1 billion and The Batman earned over $770 million. Both of these films are getting sequels, but there is another Batman goldmine that DC may want to pay attention to. Released in 2017,The LEGO Batman Movie performed better than people might remember, and it could be worthwhile for the studio to take a second look at it.
