Antidirectional to the Pattinson Batman initiative, this DC outing seems to be even sillier than Marvel. I only watched about half of it, but the tone was so airy that I couldn't feel anything. Interestingly, that's the same and opposite problem I had with The Batman, which was so bleak that I couldn't feel anything. Superman is so colorful that no one is human and I don't care, The Batman is so gray that everyone is doomed, thus I don't care. Why is DC doing such opposite things at the same time? Aren't we all trying to unify brands these days, creating branded universes so we can incessantly force-feed the same old stuff to the masses? I'm confused about DC's identity; maybe they are too.
Of course, despite all of this, part of me wants to finish the movie. I doubt I will though -- it's so empty for me.
