Topic	Joker... Finally a DC movie that is appropriately dark
Skye Reynolds 10/07/19 11:21:13 AM #9:	Godnorgosh posted... Yeah, the grittiness itself is fine, with proper direction. There's a reason it worked with the TDK trilogy. And DC won't be able to outplay Marvel at their own game. I don't think that should be their only approach, though. Do we really need a gritty Flash or gritty Superman all the time? I think more can be done with their characters than "My parents are deeeeeeeeead!" To be honest, it probably would work if Batman and Suicide Squad are dark, Superman and Wonder Woman are heroic figures with a bit of drama, and Aquaman and Flash are straight up MCU characters. Like you said, they can't beat the MCU at their own game. But they also can't realistically make everything grimdark and make it work. "I'm Batman and my life is Hell." "I'm Superman and my life is Hell." "I'm the flashy guy who runs really fast and life is Hell." <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:928453079] in Joker... ...
