This is a problem that’s plagued the comics for a while, too, especially at DC. “Grim and Gritty” has been DC’s trademark for a number of years, which is okay when you’re talking Batman, but completely the opposite of what you need for Superman. During their “New 52” phase, they essentially tried to shoehorn all of their characters into the template of Christopher Nolan’s “Dark Knight” films.

I haven’t been able to read comics on a regular basis for many months, but it seems DC is starting to improve. Marvel, on the other hand, is turning Captain America into a Nazi, for some damn reason… :/

Yeah…. I’ve read almost everything Marvel has released in the last couple years. The Captain American thing just pisses me off. Its like saying Obama put his birth in the Honolulu newspaper when he was born so he could trick people to run for President in 2008 when he actually was born in Kenya. So Captain America faked out all of these people to be a surprise Nazi - doesnt make freaking sense in the lore of the character. Does that mean the Red Skull was the good guy? Ugh
