Filmmakers said The Dark Knight changed how superhero movies would be made in the future, so why haven’t we seen or heard about those new, influenced movies yet? For instance, where’s a good, dark Shazam flick?
I’ll wait for you stop laughing. No, no–take your time.
You know, I have a crazy idea that “darker” doesn’t necessarily mean “better.”
“Mary Poppins is back. And this time she’s got a gun!”
Well, one point the article makes is that perhaps The Dark Knight changed everything and Watchmen changed it all back.
What I’d really like to see is another “Flash Gordon” movie done in the same unapologetically campy way as the 1980 film, though I suppose that would be Space Opera rather than superhero.
