Absolutely. I don't see the rating possibilities changing something as mainstream as Superman or Batman. Movies with...
the characters, as they have currently been portrayed would not probably work since they are embedded in our minds as the recent flicks have influenced us. A reimagining of them could happen sometime but not so soon I think. And they could both be way darker. Batman is practically a bad guy in some of his stories.
Spiderman and Ironman could be Marvel comps. Regretably with Ironman since there was potential for a dark history with him that was, sadly, ignored.
My bold statement here though is that I think the audience is going to continue to show that "dark" (as I defined my version above) is going to be the next step in the comic franchise golden road. We;ve seen campy, we've seen actiony, we've seen pseudo-dark, I think true dark takes its turn soon. Hopefully starting in '16 with SS, CW, SvB, and several TV prospects.

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

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