When exactly did capeshit become bad? What was the turning point

After the success of the Dark Knight trilogy which was actually well done.

The only good super hero movies are stand alone films and now producers try to sloppily shove as many characters into a movie as possible to appeal to the largest audience.

early 2000s xmen and spiderman movies made enough money to bankroll all types of shit and then before you know it all the money is just lazy inertia on the part of hollywood

and then somewhere between the success of sin city and then dark knight caused all the <<<gritty prestige>>> capeshit to happen

Ironman. With bolstered help from TBBT. Everything was good before that, even when it was bad.

Avengers decided that the conflict should be an Intergalactic portal that leads to the imminent destruction of the planet.
Kind of hard to do anything to top that, so they don't. You could argue marvel in general, but Iron Man Thor and Captain America were all independent enjoyable movies

the best part about 60s batman aside from how fucking gay it is (there are TWO Liberaces in an episode at one point), is the explicit acknowledgement of how stupid the concept of superheroes are. the show had a lot of fun with that. so much more creative than angsty man babies in kevlar.

It's odd, looking at your picture reminded me of something.
I legitimately prefer Adam West over Affleck as batman. At least he doesn't fucking kill everyone, and he has a lot more charm.

Capeshit died in 2008. Iron Man was the last good Marvel movie, and TDK was the last good DC movie. You can't prove me wrong.

when stan lee got real jewgold behind him. so not the 60s or 70s. Real American Hero feels like the start.

Its only a problem when passed off and praised as kino.

2006

Yeah they put it back on TV here in Aus and it's been a ratings success.

Also I've showed a bunch of people the movie recently and everyone loved it.

Batman 1960s has actually aged incredibly well, it's hilarious as fuck.

This is the correct answer.

After realizing how effective it was and how it rocketed RDJ back into fame producers realized that it can be used to jumpstart new stars, it has everything already written out for them and it fits like a glove into our CGI era.

Granted, Nolan's Batman trilogy was the reason that Ironman was produced but they didn't acknowledge the potential yet.

When Disney bought Marvel and decided they needed atleast 3 films per year for a decade to make up for the acquisition costs.

Adam West portrayed a more positive Bruce Wayne while Affleck is the darker batman who has become overly cynical and brooding, basically just as capable when acting as Batman but still a shadow of the former playboy.

They're too different portrayals of the same character to be fairly compared but I think they both did a nice job with what they we're given.
