But I think it was Marvel who killed off the genre.
There are only so many superheroes with box office appeal: Superman, Batman, Spiderman, and maybe there's room for one or two more.
Marvel tried to shove too many comic book movies down people's throats.
Now DC is trying to do the same thing. They don't get that when these movies are as common as dirt they'll be just as palatable as dirt.
But they’re huge in China, so nobody cares what we think anyway.
