@Spec: The problem with DC is that they think Superhero Movie is the same thing as Batman Movie. Dark and gritty. Everybody must be a one dimentional cynic.

Marvel doesn't do that. They understand that Superheroes are silly, so they embrace that silliness to a degree. Their characters are multi-dimentional. They are realistic. They have their dark moments, sure, but they are just moments, not the entirety of the film.

(Granted, Batman being silly would be more akin to Adam West's Batman and Clooney's Batman, both of which are better off forgotten.)

DC is stuck in the early 2000's, when a superhero movie was forced to be dark and brooding and completely depressing.

DC wants to catch up? Then it needs to come out of the Dark Ages.
