I'm a huge x-men and all things comic book fan but the recent trend in the movie industry is to put out butchered comic book movies just to make the big bucks. The x-men series, the hulk and even the batman and remake of superman movies attest to that. They all sucked, why you may ask, well crappy story lines that deviate from the originals, bad acting, and shitty cgi action scenes. These movies just seem to kid oriented which is good for the people collecting the paychecks (bigger demographic = bigger payday) but sucks for true more mature fans who covet a more sophisticated and grittier cinematic presentation. Dark Knight was a god send and a true testament to how every adaptation of a once thought "kid" genre can make big waves on the big screen. Dark Knight set the bar high and is now what we as fans expect to see every time our comic book heroes cross over to a full length live action movie.
