The films weren’t even very realistic, come to think of it.
I fall into a weird category of moviegoers in that I didn’t care that Dark Knight Rises was unrealistic and crazy, but I’m also glad that it didn’t follow the comic books. I love action movies, which is why I also liked the Burton films, which were so weird and nothing like comic books either (I think Batman murdered a few people in both). Superhero movies just aren’t films I enjoy, and I can’t put a finger on why. Most of them aren’t bad by any means, I just don’t care for them. I did like Antman though since it was basically treated like a straight-up parody, which made it a lot of fun for me.
