Sure, it's a step up from
Batman Forever but people talk about these movies like they are the end-all of all Batman stories when they're largely
still shite. Anyone (Nolan and Snyder especially) who takes an established franchise and goes "you know what, how about we take these fictional superheroes and make them more
real by making them wear makeup and armor and have them kill the bad guys at the end" is entirely missing the point. At least in the Marvel flicks there's none of that pretentious bullshit and they don't take themselves too seriously, which is a large part of their success.
I mean, come on.
Man of Steel was like, "let's take the most uplifting and hopeful character and completely make him ****ing miserable and have a punch out fest for half an hour at the end before he executes Zod. What's more, let's even VISUALLY take out all the color and overlay it with with a complete gray/saturated look just so people know that this is a miserable and exhausting movie, even for the character. Why? Because it's
more real."
