It was also, and this is key (since we’re still seeing posts asking if Matt Reeves’ The Batman can “save the DC Universe”), the first Aquaman movie as opposed to the third reboot. Doctor Strange was the first Doctor Strange movie, Wonder Woman was the first Wonder Woman movie, and Venom was the first solo Venom flick. Amusingly enough, I figured Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman 1984 would be the one to break that proverbial drought. It has passed The Dark Knight ($1.004b in 2008, sans 3-D and sans China) to become the second-biggest DC Comics flick behind only The Dark Knight Rises ($1.084b in 2012 sans 3-D). Counting the Avengers movies as sequels, it is the second-biggest non-sequel superhero flick ever.
