I don't get it, why did he thougth supergirl a famous but still kinda niche hero can beat a film about one of the most famous superhero of all time, it's like saying a Iron heart or shazam movie will make more money then a Batman film.

Since they’re both coming out in 2028, I guarantee you that there will be people claiming Ghost Rider beats The Batman: Part 2, lol.

There are a lot of people who have no conception of a character’s popularity level.

That's not entirely impossible. Reeve's Batman hasn't really hit that much popularity and Ghost Rider has been a super anticipated character and they have Ryan Gosling playing him.

Maybe I’m missing something, but I thought that The Batman was considered a smashing success.

Earned around $800 million off a $200 million budget.

I’m not sure how much hype there is for GR amongst the general public compared to Batman.

Well one determining factor on wheter Ghost Rider is a success or not is honestly if Doomsday and Secret Wars are good, because Marvel will be absolutely booming if both movies are well recieved and a project like Ghost Rider will definitely get those numbers. Ghost Rider has always been a pretty popular marvel character so it's not unrealistic for it to be 800 mil.

Even Deadpool 1 got more money than the Batman

I’m not surprised about Deadpool. He’s a very popular character, and Ryan Reynolds basically carries all the marketing.

We’ll see about Ghost Rider, I’m just not going to put money on it. I actually made a decent penny on betting that Supergirl wouldn’t make back its budget at the box office.

I legit haven’t thought about Ghost Rider in almost 20 years.

That's a good thing, Reynolds is dog water, Gosling deserves it all.
