Audiences who like superhero movies should know a lot about the styles of the two giants of Marvel and DC.
Marvel's main approach is a relaxed entertainment style, and when we watch Marvel superhero movies, we are amused by some of the lines and plots. The DC side is just the opposite, they are walking in the dark wind, DC's film works as a whole are very gray, some will also reflect human nature, looking more terrifying.
Directed by Christopher Nolan, "Batman: The Dark Knight" has a very gray tone and reflects human nature.
Although not as relaxed and cheerful as Marvel movies, such films seem to be more easily recognized by audiences. The Dark Knight is the world's first superhero movie to break through $1 billion at the box office, in addition to its Douban rating of 9.2 points, ranking 28th in the Douban Movie Top 250 list.
There is also DC's independent film "Joker" launched in 2019, which also exposes human nature, and it is even worse than the previous "Dark Knight".
Similarly, "Joker" was also very popular after its release, with a total global box office of $1.074 billion, and a Douban score of 8.7 points, ranking 234th in the douban movie top 250 list.
Whether it is the earlier "Batman: The Dark Knight" or the later "Joker", although the box office and word of mouth of these two films are very high, they have not passed the Chinese mainland review because they are too "dark". According to this situation, the new version of "Batman" that DC will launch next year may not have the opportunity to Chinese mainland market.
Recently, Matt Reeves, the director of the new "Batman", said that in this version of the movie, there will be the most terrifying Batman in history.
Director Matt Reeves explained the sentence this way, saying, "Because everything Batman does [in the new Batman movie] is horrible, it's never been filmed like this before about this character. This new version of Batman is a detective movie, an action movie, and a psychological thriller."
According to the director, the new Batman also reflects human nature, and the film is both violent and dark, and even a little scary.
In mid-October this year, the new "Batman" released a trailer, through which we can see that director Matt Reeves's words are very credible.
In the trailer, Batman, played by Robert Pattinson, once said a sentence called "I just want revenge", and he was merciless in his fist to the flesh when fighting with the enemy, as if to show the dark side.
Violent, dark, human nature and horror, the new Batman is not so much a superhero movie as it is a crime action film that reflects human nature.
This kind of film will basically not pass the Chinese mainland review.
