You can be silly and good, Deadpool has proven it two times already. That movie was terrible, if a complete campfest. Now I'm not saying that he needed to be silly like Batman and Robin was in 1997, the movie that killed Batman as a film franchise for 8 years. He needed to be a more comical character. I remember saying, before this movie came out, that the new Batman needed to be silly and goofy. I had no problem with Affleck as Batman, despite many people's complaints about his casting, what I had a problem with was keeping the same dark tone of Nolan's version. That's why it was immensely disappointing that DC continued with the dark and brooding Bat but with Ben Affleck under the cowl instead of Christian Bale. They're completely different versions of the character, so they can't be judged the same. The comparisons will always be made, I mean it's Batman, but the less the continuation is like what came before it, the more you avoid those comparisons. We already saw the dark and brooding Batman and I don't think anyone can top what Nolan and his crew did with the character, so why even bother? To avoid the inevitable comparisons, you would have needed to move away from that. Having said all of that, as much as I did love the Dark Knight trilogy, I felt that whoever took up the mantle of Batman needed to take the franchise and the character in a completely different direction. And, as a whole, The Dark Knight trilogy is tremendous and, in my opinion (again), no superhero franchise has even come close, MCU or otherwise. It's also one of my favorite movies ever to boot. It is a thing of crime drama beauty that transcends the limitations of the genre. Or rather, I should say, my favorite of them all.

In my opinion The Dark Knight is the best superhero movie of all time. To this day, if you were to ask me who would be my favorite superhero, I'd still say Batman. I dressed up as both many times, mostly Batman than the latter. Seriously though, it should be noted that, as a young boy, my favorite superheroes were Batman and Wolverine. What the fuck is this? I've seen two good DC movies in a row? What? Has hell frozen over, it must have, because this hasn't happened, really, ever.
