Which superhero film are you most looking forward to in 2016?

Any changes after San Diego Comic-Con 2015 trailers for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, X-Men: Apocalypse, Suicide Squad and Deadpool with the last three leaking?

 

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice retains its top spot. I'm looking forward more to X-Men: Apocalpse thanks to the leaked trailer. Great trailer.

Suicide Squad blew me away.  I haven't seen the Deadpool trailer yet, I'm trying to find a decent one to view.   Batman v. Superman is still my #1 but Suicide Squad is right up there.

For me it's still Apocalypse narrowly beating out Civil War (mostly for mythology reasons, since I came to comics at a time when Magneto was teaching the New Mutants and Poc seemed like the biggest threat in the universe) though I'm certainly more interested in the two DC movies than I was a month ago.

Here's my most-to-least anticipated:

1. Captain America 3: Civil War

2. X-Men Apocalypse

3. Agents of SHIELD season 3

4. Suicide Squad (i guess? not really following it but i'm not against it. could be good)

5. Dr. Strange (don't know much about him, only seen him in cartoons)

 

will watch Daredevil s2, but still haven't finished s1.

not interested in Batman v Superman. Not after Man of Steel plus Ben Affleck.

I would've voted for Civil War, but then I saw Daredevil Season 2 and voted for that instead.

I spend a lot of time in shopping malls, which is an unfortunate aspect of my job. Because of the amount of time in said malls, I can assure everyone that Deadpool is probably second to Batman in terms of random merch that you see on people. Granted, it's all on people who look like they might also wear a hatchet man necklace, but sales are sales I guess.

This sums it up.

Deadpool (and to a lesser extent Harley) have caught on with the internet crowd through memes and the like. As such, while their comics receive a modest boost in sales, they're also absurdly popular with people who have probably never paid actual money for a comic but will pay to see their movies when they're out. The general popularity is way higher than basically anyone not Batman and arguably the established movie Avengers.

For comparison, when I was at Niagara Falls yesterday, I decided to count superhero merchandise. Saw one Spider-Man, one general Marvel, one Superman, one Captain America, one Batman, zero Deadpool. (One John Cena.) About what you'd expect.

 

I forgot to mention the other week that I finally saw somebody on the street wearing a Deadpool shirt. So it took less than four month of searching.

Now we're in 2016! Any changes? No changes?

1. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

2. Daredevil: Season Two.

3. Captain America: Civil War.

4. Agent Carter: Season Two.

5. Suicide Squad

6. X-Men: Apocalypse.

7. Doctor Strange.

8. Deadpool

9. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D: Season Three.

10. Gotham: Season Two.

11. Gambit.

Suicide Squad and Deadpool are up two places.

[Jingus]

If I had to rate, it would go something like this:

1. Cap: Civil War

2. Daredevil s2

3. Deadpool

4. X-men: Apocalypse Soon

5. Bats vs Supes

6. Peggy Carter s2

7. Suicide Squad

8. fuckin' huge empty space

9. Gambit

10. Dr. Strange

11. Agents of SHIELD

12. Gotham

Deadpool may have finally eclipsed Apocalypse for me.  My 3 top are still some combo of those two and Civil War (with DD s2 close behind).  Everything else I really don't give a shit about--I will almost certainly enjoy Doctor Strange and Luke Cage, and might very well like the rest of the list, but I'm not *excited* about them at all.

[Johnny Sorrow]

I think Dr. Strange is gonna explode as something different and fun out of nowhere like Guardians did.
