>it's another "gritty modern take on a classic superhero" movie
Why do people enjoy this?
I don't understand why so many filmmakers nowadays (more so with DC but Marvel is guilty too) feel the need to make superhero movies darker and grittier and more "realistic". Like, do they sit there looking at the script for Captain America Does a Thing #73 or Batman's Early Days as an Asipiring Editorial Model and say "Hmm, the audience is going to tune out of this narrative about cyborgs and mutants and multi-trillionaires in flying mech suits fighting aliens and psychotic clowns and fallen pagan gods if I don't make it BELIEVABLE"?
I mean, these are movies based on corner-store comic books. They're supposed to be fantastical, zany, and a tad over-the-top. Why don't filmmakers go that route, then?

I agree. I want to see a new Batman film similar to the feel of the Adam West TV show with a joker in the vain of Caeser Romero
>Why don't filmmakers go that route
They do.

Because filmfags have bought into the old lie that true art is angsty, and casualfags have bought into the old lie that gritty or edgy are good realism
The only superhero shit worth a damn is Burton's Batman movies. Just because they create a cool universe and interesting atmosphere.

It's not about "people enjoying it" so much as The Dark Knight made a shitload of money and studios like money.
man of steel is not "le gritty"
>>63133624
I can't think of any besides dark knight trilogy and watchmen, and watchmen was the anti superhero movie

avengers made more, in the top 10 highest grossing flicks ever iirc

because it wouldn't be fucking enjoyable. The comic books aren't even "le so campy XD"

Do you understand that's why we have marvel movies planned out as far as the theoretical heat-death of the universe?

They haven't been like that for a good few decades, m8
So that capeshit fans can say they're not watching cartoony and children's movies that came out of comic books. Also, it greatly appeals to normies who, by the day, like more and more this shitty genre. For some reason, people believe that realistic and gritty movies are actually doted of higher quality and are to be taken seriously, despite their plot being ridiculous.
lmao kill yourself nerd
