Really, just answer the question

>or where did i say star wars is better or worst? i'm stating
>whut is factual and that's as of right now TDK is posted at

>460 million...but next week, TDK is going to surpass that
>mark.

Right, and TDK will never, ever, ever, surpass Titanic.

And before you said Titanic and TDK aren't comparable
since they are different

Why then, is TDK comparable to Star Wars?

Hmmm


>the ONLY other movie that was capable of achieving that,
>regardless of adjusted income and ect. was titanic...you can
>hate all you want, but nobody would of EVER fathom a movie
>like this achieving that

No one fathomed Titanic achieving that either.

And Batman is an American Icon with a successful
franchise that predated it, several of which made
upwards of 300 million dollars each. I'm less surprised
by TDK being a mega success than I was by Titanic.

Dicap wasn't even a huge megastar when it came out.

Its rise to success was far more dramatic than
TDK

Add in the fact that there are no dead actors,
and its box office success is even more impressive
relative to TDK

>the copping pleas is coming from you, because you're TRYING to
>divert the arguement. whut does this have to do with ironman?
>nothing! the FACT remains that TDK is still more popular than
>ironman...the numbers don't lie, TDK is making a historic run
>vs. ironman doing the usual numbers for a blockbuster movie

Right, and Titanic was more popular than TDK is. Titanic
made more than any two films in the LOTR trilogy

The point is that box office success and popularity
have nothing to do with how good the film is relative
to another film that grossed much less

>the 2008 summer movie of the year goes to TDK, not
>ironman...plain and simple

In terms of box office? Absolutely.

In terms of quality? Nope.
