8 Upcoming Superhero Movies Guaranteed To Make A Billion Dollars

4. The Batman

This movie hasn't actually been officially announced yet, but there are tons of rumours from reliable sources indicating that it's definitely going to happen.

The Dark Knight managed to top $1 billion after being re-released, while The Dark Knight Rises got past that point all by itself (and despite a cinema shooting which analysts agree took a massive chunk out of its opening weekend). Batman has thereby become an expected billion dollar franchise, so his next solo movie not doing similar numbers would be a massive shock, especially as this version of the character will be coming off appearances in both Batman V Superman and the Justice League movies.

With Ben Affleck rumoured to direct and Chris Terrio (Argo) apparently writing, this Batman movie has the potential to be the best yet, especially if comic book fanboy Zack Snyder keeps a watchful eye on things.

The Joker and Red Hood (Jason Todd) have been named as possible villains too, so the ingredients are all there for The Batman to be a massive hit, and common sense says that will be the case.
