Iron Man Film Versus Batman and Superman Films??

So How's The

Iron Man 

Film Faring...

 Against DC Comics' Comic Book Movies?

Well... we've been telling our Blog Readers that the Iron Man  Film was going to be BIG... AND Worth Waiting For,  AND Watching! 

So no surprise to us that  the Iron Man  Film has now reached $178  Million Dollars since its sneak premiere late on Thursday Night on May 1st!

So where does that total place the movie at now?

This blog post will just compare this new Marvel Comics film versus their major competitor in Comics... that of DC Comics films released so far:

Batman ($251 million, #42 all time)
Batman Begins ($205 million, #75 all time)
Superman Returns ($200 million, #83 all time)
Batman Forever ($184 million, #97 all time)
Batman Returns ($163 million, #138 all time)

So Iron Man's start is not bad for a supposed 'second tier' comic book hero from Marvel Comics against the D(istinguished) C(ompetition)'s Films!  

Actually according to the latest stats,  Iron Man  was the 10th biggest opening of all time and the fourth biggest for a superhero movie!

Among nonsequels, it came in behind only the first 'Spider-Man 1', which premiered with $114.8 million!

I had promised our blog readers earlier that I would publish a photo of Tina wearing her Iron Man  t-shirt that was distributed at the Special Iron Man Program at the SDCC 2007 (San Diego Comic Con International)!

I ran that photo earlier, actually 2 photos, showing the front and back of the t-shirt.

So I'm only re-running the photo with the front of the shirt at the top right... and a pic of one of the Iron Man  Film Posters below that for those of you that haven't seen that yet!
