Speaking of 'fun' superhero film... "Captain America: Civil War" is a 'dark' superhero film, but it still tested extremely well

In fact, the only thing they disagree on is whether the movie tested as well as or better than Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which had previously been the best-testing Marvel movie. Further, my sources tell me that the movie doesn't pull any punches in the third act, and that if Marvel execs had been concerned about the film going dark places, these stellar test screenings have alleviated all those fears.

Civil War is a ton of fun {nm} Moviesnob Feb 13, 20:12

Just because the movie goes to dark places doesnt mean its as dark as BvS. the stakes are serious thats all {nm} Moviesnob Feb 13, 20:15

its not guardians or ant man, but theres humor. Its tone about the same as Winter Soldier {nm} Moviesnob Feb 13, 20:27

This is great news. I think Suicide Squad and Civil War will show that there is a big interest in dark superhero stories. {nm} Willroast Feb 13, 21:02

(not meaning to exclude SvB, just not sold on Afleck pulling it off yet, hope to be wrong) {nm} Willroast Feb 13, 21:06

After reading posts below, I see that folks here seem to think that superhero films have already been dark. Well... Willroast Feb 13, 21:58

well, there's serious/grounded vs fantasy. "Dark" can exist in both in many different ways. The point I was making was the lesson Moviesnob Feb 13, 22:33

Absolutely. I don't see the rating possibilities changing something as mainstream as Superman or Batman. Movies with... Willroast Feb 13, 23:38

IDK, I think Affleck is going to be great as Batman, might even be the highlight. {nm} ~JPV~ Feb 13, 23:12

I've been skeptical since he was first rumored, but if he can keep that stupid grin of his in check as Batman than he may be alright. {nm} Dorfman Feb 14, 01:51

Big if. {nm} VicMackeyYTD Feb 14, 02:06

HUGE. I'll expect is as Bruce Wayne, but not as the bat. {nm} RREYN Feb 14, 06:13
