Yes, but let me explain why. Comic book movies were never really “in vogue” throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s. Oh sure, Superman was seen as a classic portrayal of the Man of Steel, and Tim Burton introduced us to a much Darker Knight than most people had seen in Batman. But these movies were…
Directed by Jose Padhilla. Starring Joel Kinneman, Gary Oldman, Abbie Cornish, Michael Keaton, Michael K. Williams, Jackie Earle Haley and Samuel L. Jackson. PG-13, 118 minutes.
