Re: [scifinoir2] Warners, DC Plan Superhero Film Future
DC needs to either go for the kids audience or go uber edgy. But a lot of their titles don't allow for that. I always thought DC's superheroes where corny. And Superman just isn't interesting in tights and a cape. Smallville works because Superman isn't as he is in the comics. He's flawed and REAL and doesn't have all the silliness. Marvel re-tooled a lot of the costumes for X-men. Spiderman works cause they brought him down to earth a lot. So in order to re-boot their icons...they need to make then more accessible like they did with Batman. How would Batman even meet Superman at this point?
