Isn't this enough?

The Aquaman and SHAZAM trailers recently released at the SAN DIEGO Comic-con gave the DC fans a hope of revival, especially after the badly turned out Justice League. It can be clearly seen that DC is trying to get it together finally.

 But is it too late?

MARVEL (MCU), currently having the absolute monopoly over the superhero genre of cinema, has churned out 18 superhero movies since their cinema debut in 2008. Before that, in the 2000’s, X-MEN ruled in this genre. This franchise too, has 11 movies till date. That’s a lot of superheroes!

And now, amidst this saturation of movies, DC plans to reintroduce or rather reboot their superhero movies under the name DC (unofficially DCEU).

Questioning the ability of DC to lay a strong foundation for their characters is not the point here (though that needs serious questioning).

My point is, isn’t it enough? Are the audience not weary of superheroes? Apart from the visual treat and witty dialogues, superhero movies have nothing much to offer (barring some of the exceptions).

I seriously thought about this when Jonathan Nolan stated that we were in “a glut” of superhero movies and he hoped that people will get sick of them. Now let’s not forget that this man is the writer of The Dark Knight. I think he’s correct. I believe that superhero genre is a trend, and trends wear away. This genre has long enjoyed attention of the audience and also has created records at the box office. I feel, now that they are at their peak, they should stop (sorry DC!) rather than risking their downfall. Their era is golden for sure, and they should leave it like that.

Well, that’s what I feel! What do you think? Is this enough, or are you hungry for more superhero movies? Let me know!

Thanks for your time! Have a good day!
