A New Era for Comic Book Fans

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2016)

Comparing this dark masterpiece with the lightheartedness of Marvel Productions would be a disservice to all that is good about Marvel. DC's characters have had their own charm and persona and bringing them in the same boat as Marvel would be a major folly on part of critics and fans alike. For once, DC has managed to finally firm its roots in a cinematic franchise that is loyal to the comic book mythos. Am not saying Nolan's Batman or the matter of fact Christopher Reeve's Superman were not Gems of the Comic Book Movie Library, but, it would be a disrespect to all these legends as well as modern day artists if we compare the work of old to the work done in the modern era. Agreed the movie lacks humour, Agreed the Batman is forever Sad and Brooding, Agreed the Superman is distrustful and forever questioning his place in the modern world, but this what the DC comics are all about. Watch the DC Original Animated Movies and you might understand what I am trying to Say. Just Go and Watch It. Not as a DC or MArvel Fan, but, as a young child who always wanted all her/his favorite heroes on the cinematic screen and remember the mythos and legends to be told in the future. Because, as my father talks about his childhood memories of all that was sci-fi and comic book adaptations, I plan to continue the tradition and honour all those who worked their butts out for all us comic book fans who had all been denied a decent dose of comic book mythos till 20 years ago.
