This is very strange superhero movie in that the superhero isn’t due to show up for about two drcades. This is more likely the first supervillain movie.
That is why I did not care for the TV series Gotham. It was all about the creation of all the Batman super-villains and was very dark. I think we were supposed to see all the evil as mildly amusing. I don't care for that kind of stuff as "entertainment". If I am going to see these evil characters, I want to see Batman kick their asses.
That's one of the reasons I like a lot of westerns. There are usually lawless types running rampant and some good men have to put them out of business and establish law and order.
I like the direction DC is taking. Instead of trying to be like Marvel, they’re focusing on movies featuring lesser-known characters. I’ve always felt that DC’s characters were much better than Marvel.
