re: #422 Targetpractice

DC started from dark and gritty and so basically couldn’t reel audiences in with anything but “Look at all the explosions and carnage!”

DC had serious hits with Nolan’s Batman movies, and decided that was the way to have a hit comic book movie — dark colors, grimdark attitude, very little humor. That may work for Batman, but it’s less effective for a character who’s supposed to be sunny and optimistic, like Superman.
