It just makes Batman dorkier and Superman darker. No one wants that. There's hundreds of stories that prove otherwise It works in comic book stories. Not in movies that work best carrying a certain visual motif and tone. Mix it all together and it looks shitty. It's been done twice by a bad director. The medium doesn't determine whether or not it works, it's the competence of the person telling the story. A movie can't both be Serpico and His Girl Friday at the same time. Trying to mix tones like that is like dunking cookies in Worcestershire sauce. It doesn't matter how good the chef is, it's not going to made tasty unless you change either of those things to be something they are not. Everything has to be a cinematic universe now, it's a hip thing (and Hollywood loves it because then they can sell you at the end of every movie, instead of giving you a true ending). But if DC actually wants to challenge Marvel, they should do it by making great, standalone movies of different tones. You know, like it worked all of those years before they saw Marvel and then changed everything. <cite>wah_wah_wah posted [p:912715554] in Why was Ju...
