DC Comics Month-to Month Sales: March 2015 – End of an Era…
by David Carter
Greetings, sales charts fans! It's time once again to look at DC's sales figures.
March 2015 was not a good sales month for DC in the North American direct market.
Average sales per title for the DCU books (28,559), Vertigo (7,055), and DC as a whole (23,466) were all the lowest they've been since the New 52 started back in September 2011.
Most of their sales problems were due to books that missed shipping in March, including their two top sellers, Batman and Justice League, and two other books that are in their top 30% (or so), Wonder Woman and Superman/Wonder Woman. A similar tune plays at the Vertigo label; with Sandman Overture MIA until May, the perpetually delayed American Vampire Second Cycle also not around, and Fables pretty much over (except for the oversized finale coming in July). That leaves Astro City as the regularly-shipping standard bearer for the imprint.

It seems that WB/DC's struggle to get parity in the superhero movie arena with the massive runaway TGV success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not going all that great with a lot of cooks making different dinner plans. No fewer than FIVE scripts have been commissioned for Wonder Woman and three for Aquaman in what sounds like a directionless quest for something that works.
An insider says that have a "filmmaker-driven" agenda for making the 10 superhero movies planned for the rest of this decade. But that approach doesn't necessarily lead to the coherent universe that MCU fans seem to like:
