The Standard For All Superhero Films

Rating: Null/10 (29 May 2018)

The Dark Knight Trilogy will always be the standard to which I'll hold all superhero films going forward. They did so much right in this franchise, but the biggest thing for me is the inspiration this film exudes and that's what I feel films should always have a message of, hope and inspiration. Batman has to overcome so many insurmountable odds and when he does you feel like you can go out and win too. When I think about it, my top movies that I love all have an element of this; The Lord of the Rings, Shawshank Redemption, Rocky, Alien, the list goes on. Films should always look to do this beyond just being entertaining, in my humble opinion.
