Who was the Jannetty?
>>
>>19538329
Supernetty.
>>
Batmanetty
>>
Kal-etty and Batmichaels
>>
>>19538329
both
>>
>>19538329
Double Michaels. Only major draws in DC. Wonder Woman is the jannetty because they keep trying to force the trinity but no one gives a shit about Diananetty
>>
>>19538340
>Up and coming star
>Only gets booked in rope matches
>Buried and disappears from the biz for years
>Get brought back as the head of the women's revolution
>Get given a plane
>Big Barda still jobbing on the indies
who booked this shit?
>>
Adam West had 'em in the Michaels range, old Superman movies made it a contest, Tim Burton put the Bat back in the Michaels chair until Schumacher films sent him straight to Jannetty city, Death of Superman drew giga dimes and made waves, Smallville had them back in business in live action, then Dark Knight won and they maybe had a chance with Affleck but now both are whatever and Peacemaker is Michaels
>>
>>19538346
Peacemaker is AEW. The fans pretend it’s the best thing ever while the general public doesn’t give a shit.
>>
>>19538346
>until Schumacher films sent him straight to Jannetty city
Batman was still the Michaels for the reminder of the 90s because BTAS was way more popular and drew more dimes than STAS
>>
>>19538329
>Double Michaels
>>
>>19538351
It's the most profitable DC live action franchise I only saw season one, since 2 isn't on Amazon, but I liked it so far
>>19538354
I forgot about the cartoons. My favorite was Batman Beyond and the one where they are kids was popular but I am still inclined to go with Death of Superman and Smallville making the biggest impact, could be wrong though.
>>
>>19538340
Wonder Woman will sell more merch this year than every wrestler combined has for the last 20 years. Not bad for the comic equivalent of a piss break match.
>>
>>19538369
It’s the only live action franchise DC has unless you’re including movies. If that’s the case how can you even determine its profit, it’s on a streaming service. A service most people use to watch Soorano re-runs that have never clicked on Peacemaker. Aquaman came out in the same time period and the first made mega dimes and the sequel made over a 100 million dollar return just in ticket sales. The show is just a vehicle to try and get Cena over as a star which that actually halfway worked.
>>
>>19538371
Proof?
Comics draw no dimes now and a top manga can outsell the whole industry.
>>
>>19538375
Peacemaker doesn't need to be loaded down with stars, which reduces its budget aside from Cena who got 1m per episode and was number one in the world for streaming for a while, then got rented out to other platforms, and had the highest critic and fan ratings out of any DC franchise. It's also survived the changes in the DC leadership while everything else got cancelled, recast or rebooted.

>>19538329
no matter how often they try Superman will NEVER be interesting
>>
>>19538421
Superman be like
>I win the belt and beat everybody
>>
>>19538427
That's Batman though
>>
>>19538378
I’m not sure if you’re from America or not friend but Wonder Woman comics are the least valuable thing about the franchise. That goes for all the comic properties really. Wonder Woman shit can be found at any big box retailer in droves. There’s a Bloomberg article from 2017 that said WW merch excluding movies and comics would top 1 Billion for the year. Thats 25 percent more than the entire profit for WWE as a whole including their TV deal and live gates. Licensing Letter.com puts the WW 2021 figure at 500 million. Makes sense because the movie came out in 2017. However 2021 was also still Covid going on sales for everything was down. Even if it fell off another 50 percent in the last 4 years (highly unlikely) that’s still a quarter of a billion in merch.
>>
>>19538329
Superman is the foundation of the entire business and effortlessly beats Goku
>>
Christopher Nolans Dark Knight was a cultural phenomenon. The Arkham games were kino as well. Supes hasnt had anything like that this century.
>>
>>19538433
I tried searching for the numbers but could only find the reports of it 'is expected to sell this much'. Anyway, I'll take your word for it and maybe try looking it up again later.
>>
>>19538451
Even if they’re wrong by a huge factor that’s still 100’s of millions just to license out the logo, the name or the image of Diana. I’m strictly talking merch. Clothing, make up, food, any piece of rubber crap they can slap a logo on. If you’re outside the U.S. you may not realize how pervasive this shit is. There’s nothing in wrestling that could possibly compare to the sheer volume of even Wonder Woman let alone Superman and Batman.

When Netflix owns DC, maybe we can get some WWE comics instead of AEW. And instead of Steve Orlando, they'll be written by Netflix's own Mark Millar.
>>
>>19538329
Picrel answered the question definitively
>>
>>19538553
I own the paperback, but they're coming out with facsimile editions of the whole series and I'm going to buy them. It will be cool to read it the way it was originally published.
>>
>>19538553
Frank Miller hated Superman. This doesn’t count.

>>
>>19538764
Hal is Roman because of the massive heel turn before eventually becoming babyface again.

Double Michaels coming through

*is the Chelsea Green of DC in your path*

Why is every DC live action property and post 2000s cartoon Jannetty to the 90s/2000s cartoons?
>>
>>19538329
Superman

Batman is the micheals. Batman has an entire lore and the Bat-family fed is a draw proving his worth as both worker and booker

I'm a bigger Chelsea mark than I am of HQ, but Quinn has the most iconic sex icon look of the 2010s, and is the GOAT valet

DC still had a lot of good animated movies in the 2010s.

>>
>>19539152
they're mostly straight to dvds so that's why they didn't hit the mainstream as much as it should have. DCAMU is dimes, loved everything about it.

I watched that show back in the day but I can't remember him at all.
