The problem with going for realism in superhero movies is that the producers have to have a firm grasp on morality and its subtleties for it to work. It’s the same reason why they can’t write a good Luthor. They don’t understand his moral complexity. I also think that audiences overlook more flaws when the tone is light.

But I was disappointed that the Batmans weren’t realistic or dark, so maybe I ask too much. I’d expect the Dark Knight to be more like Liam Neeson in the first Taken.

Fear of exposure and questioning faith in humanity is a decent start for Supe, though. It’s tough when you’re nigh indestructible. I’d expect arrogance to be a more common moral flaw of his. Why is Supe so humble while so powerful? There’s a good story there.
