The Biggest Comic Book Opening of the Summer Might Surprise You

While Man of Steel is expected to headline Time Warner's (NYSE: TWX  ) comic book film slate this summer, the company could see huge returns from a new video game that made its debut last week: Injustice: Gods Among Us.

In years past, video-game openings have rivaled film premieres for how much they've brought in. Think of Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT  ) , whose Halo 4 generated $220 million in first-day sales. Or how about Activision Blizzard's (NASDAQ: ATVI  ) Black Ops II, which took in $500 million worldwide during its first 24 hours on sale?

For all the potential upside in Iron Man 3, which opens internationally on April 26 for Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS  ) , Warner with Man of Steel and Injustice is positioning itself to have as big a summer season as the House of Mouse, or even bigger, says Tim Beyers of Motley Fool Rule Breakers and Motley Fool Supernova in the following interview with The Motley Fool's Erin Miller.

Please watch this short video to get Tim's full take, and then leave a comment to let us know whether you'd buy, sell, or short Time Warner stock now, and why.

It's easy to forget that Walt Disney is more than just the House of Mouse. True, Disney amusement parks around the world hosted more than 121 million guests in 2011. But from its vast catalog of characters to its monster collection of media networks, much of Disney's allure for investors lies in its diversity, and The Motley Fool's premium research report lays out the case for investing in Disney today. This report includes the key items investors must watch as well as the opportunities and threats the company faces going forward. So don't miss out -- simply click here now to claim your copy today.
