Well, SDCC has sadly came to a close. The exciting and fun convention is now over. Do you want to know what’s even more sad? Christopher Nolan or the Warner Brothers team never came to reveal big Superman/Batman news. 😦 Just like everyone else, I too was looking forward to some big announcements on Superman/Batman. It never happened. Keep in mind, that the SDCC from the past never did anything on “Batman: Begins” and “The Dark Knight” as well, so go figure. So why don’t Christopher Nolan ever bring his Batman or Superman work to Comic Con to celebrate with fans?

Does it have to do with ego? Does it have to do with money? Maybe a little bit of both, ha! There are better reasons why Warner Bros. will not bring Superman/Batman to SDCC.

One of the reasons, Batman and Superman are both iconic and legendary characters. All the stuff that you see at SDCC, the movies being celebrated there are not as huge as Batman and Superman are. The reason for Batman and Superman not being there is because, the two characters would overshadow all the other stuff being celebrated. Another reason for no Batman and Superman is because, it’s too expecting and too exciting. WB’s don’t want to reveal Batman/Superman stuff there ’cause it would get the whole convention all excited. The SDCC is the wrong place for it because it’s too early. Everyone wants to know about the new Batman and Superman flicks. If things were revealed this early, then it would ruin the excitement. They feel it’s better to leave things unpredictable.

I mean, think about it. When the Dark Knight came out, Heath Ledger was revealed to play the Joker shortly after the SDCC around that time. That news shocked the whole world. Imagine if they announced Heath Ledger playing the Joker at SDCC that yaar. Can you see how it would screw things up? Warner Bros. wants to reveal news on both films when ever everyone is not expecting it. That’s how you make a surprise. Announcing it at SDCC it would ruin that surprise ’cause everyone would be expecting it.

These are some reasons why Warner Bros. is forcing us to wait longer for Batman and Superman news. I’m sure they already picked a villain for both films already, they are keeping quiet about them until the time is right. They want it to be huge. It’s a marketing plan. It’s all about marketing. It wouldn’t be good business if Batman and Superman took over the SDCC conventions.

Just be patience everyone, a villain for both Batman and Superman will be revealed when ever everyone is not expecting it. I’m sure we will know more about both films later this summer, hopefully in August.
