Indeed, black and white morality isn’t weird in the genre and suits it better. I guess with all the powers, villains and settings it is needed for realism and balance.
The distance thing is a moot point even though it is a point you make: Gotham and Metropolis have been portrayed as being beside each other a bunch of times in the comics in the past.
The drinking thing is super subtle but it’s a nice detail, in my humble opinion. From a thematic point of view, subtlety suits the Dark Knight. I do get what you mean though.
Marvel did a good job executing a cohesive universe, and it was never done before. With that foundation, and the shared universe they have made bucketloads of money and provided great entertainment to a widespread audience.
Wonder Woman was explained in the movie. Lex had something belonging to her; the photo from World War 1. She wouldn’t exactly want proof floating around she was an immortal demigoddess.
It kind of works as a light Roman/Amazon era style piece of light armour. I liked it. Still, movies and entertainment are all subject to individual taste. Then again if she has toughness beyond a mortal than she probably needs lighter more mobile armour.
Executive meddling is the devil, all egos and arrogance leading to the problems you list.
Captain Marvel wasn’t the strongest of marvel movies and Suicide Squad (I loved the comic and the movie should have been on par with Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 1) sucked.
Yeah, Michael Keaton instinctively bailing when he heard how things would progress was a grim sign.
I’d like to think Marvel did their research and looked at what came before and decided when they made Iron Man (before Disney bought them) that they wanted to make a focussed, trye, accurate and artistically true. Possibly as a reaction to some of the worse movies like Daredevil and Punisher that came out in the early 2000s.
I think it is 50/50 with copycats because there has been back and forth over the years. Thanos is actually a rip off of Darkseid. DC has good material, its just the majority of people like yourself only have the movies to go by and haven’t read the comics.
