>DC Comics is teaming up again with National CineMedia (NCM) and local comic shops for co-op advertising deals in local cinemas to promote Doomsday Clock. Earlier this year, they did similar for the first DC Rebirth collections, but with November 21st/22nd seeing the launch of the new Doomsday Clock series written by newly independent DC President Geoff Johns, drawn by Gary Frank, and introducing the Watchmen characters into the DC Universe.
>This is the cinema ad of choice, and retailers would have their store’s details at the end.
>Last time around, NCM helped tag stores on DC Universe: Rebirth spots and found prominent and relevant placing in local cinema advertising reels and stores could claim back 50% of the cost., The terms aren’t as clear just yet this time around, but they are likely to be similar with the upcoming Justice League and Black Panther being obvious choices, .

Wow it's almost like they're not actually competing and you're allowed to like both
Brody Morris
>and introducing the Watchmen characters into the DC Universe >shills will defend this
Parker Adams
If you buy Doomsday clock you are part of the problem
Joshua Thompson
Looks like Johns is desperate to have an evergreen to his name. >I'll write Batman. He has quite a few evergreens to his name. >This time it'll be Watchmen. This will definitely get people's attention. Let me even shill it harder.
Andrew Long
Always glad when they advertise comics to the mainstream. It's a better way of reaching new readers than changing everything about the characters. Shame it's Doomsday Clock though. I hope the ads are at least good, the Rebirth ones were kinda shitty.
Jaxon Walker
I've seen 100% more DC commercials for comics than marvel. I'm surprised there aren't more commercials to be frank.
Matthew Murphy
Fuck you Scott Snyder. Metal is the problem. DClock is just a story you can skip. Metal's been shitting too much up and will only get worse by february.
Jose Carter
Exactly. Normal people can barely tell the companies apart. I had to explain to my father when Wonder Woman was starting that she was a DC character and so not part of the MCU.
Every time they get burnt by a DC movie, there is a chance they just won't watch DC movies anymore. Or they decide to quit Superhero movies totally.
The competition is in the actual release dates. But so far Marvel has been winning with those, as Warner a Brothers blinked with BvS vs Cap 3.

They're throwing Thor to the fucking wolves just to in the same release window as Star Wars and Justice League. Simply to try and fuck with JL. God forbid that movie finds legs, theres a real possibility Disney may have to break them just to make way for Star Wars like they did to Hateful Eight... even if that shit was shit.

>Marvel movie promoting a DC comic book
Gavin Gray
Cool, I remember the Rebirth commercials before movies and really liking those.
Chase Gonzalez
Not really. Thor has like two weeks before JL and then another few weeks before Star Wars. So for the sake of the few million at the very last week maybe, they crush JL between them. JL may have BvS legs or even worse.
Carter Watson
JL, in that example, would have to have done VERY BADLY.
if it does even marginally well then my statement about thor being thrown to the wolves would be the truer part. It having legs through a JL success isn't just a pipedream it's impossible.

>DC is capitalizing more off of Marvel's movies than Marvel themselves are
Can the sheer scale of how much Ike has been BTFO'd even be measured?
Kek
Cameron Brown
How? It has basically no effect on the DCU as a whole and won't as most DC stories rn take place after metal and nothings changed
Jaxon Gonzalez
I will gladly scream than geoff johns is a talentless cunt, and that the story will be a cash grab.

Dominic Campbell
Things must be going badly at Feige's house?
>I want to be banned from my local movie theatre!
Benjamin Martin
I wonder if comic books exist in the DCEU?
Colton Hernandez
I cannot accept that Geoff is pronounced like Jeff.
James Gray
>I cannot accept that Geoff is pronounced like Jeff.
Fuck, I thought I was the only one.
Julian Russell
how would you pronounce it otherwise?
Owen Morgan
Ge(as in geo minus the o)-off
Bentley Bailey
>newly independent DC President Geoff Johns What the hell?
Justin Bell
I guess they are counting on normie audiences to have forgotten how meh they were on the Watchmen movie? That thing fizzled out badly in theaters, I remember it had a second weekend in the teens or something.
Jeremiah Lopez
They were barely original IP to begin with, user.
Adam Clark
I hope we see the Charlton/DC characters too.
Brandon Robinson
I still want the Rorschach from the preview to be Vic so he can rip of the mask at a critical moment and revealed that he's figured everything out.
