And that just doesn't work. Personally, I find the Marvel movies much more accessible and enjoyable because they embrace the outlandish, they aren't ashamed of their origins. While The Dark Knight, especially, wants to present the comic world as being able to actually exist. Totally forgetting we are talking about a bloody grown man wearing a bat suit. I just can't see how a man in a bat suit, an alien, a woman who flies an invisible plane, a man who uses a magical ring and a dude who runs really really fast can be presented as 'real'.
You forgot the Martian who can shape-change and pass through walls (assuming they're sticking to CN canon, which they keep standard for marketing purposes).
And the woman doesn't fly an invisible plane anymore, she's now retconned to do her OWN flying, that's much more realistic. (It's now part of the holy Olympian powers of the suit, and the eagle on her chest isn't the American eagle, now it's Zeus's eagle.)
Warner, like Disney with Pirates, is so awestruck with their ability to pied-piper audiences to a movie by uttering a holy name, they've lost sight that Chris Nolan after Batman Begins was just about one of the rottenest things to happen to the franchise, and just doesn't really seem to personally care about it that much.
Disney found out what happens when you try to give too many things to Gore Verbinski, and Warner's about to find out the perils of giving too many things to the Inception/Dark Knight guy.
