I’ll take it, then, that you didn’t read my and leesilm’s in-depth analyses in response to your question?

While not an opera fan, I can see your point. Yes, it does have that operatic feel to it. And definitely agree on the Nolan trilogy (I only really enjoyed the first movie, the second was just too dark for my tastes and it required me to spend too much time watching Bale's Batman, the third was alright. Best part of those movies was Michael Caine's turn as Alfred Pennyworth, in my humble opinion), they are more noir than probably just about any other super-hero movie made in the last 20 years. Yes, I really do think people expect all other comic book movies to be Marvel, Marvel-esque, Marvel-light, or some variation of the general Marvel theme. They forget the FOX owned X-MEN movies with Jackman & co. were also a fair balance of comic and dark, though verging more towards dark than the Disney-Marvel, and they weren't above having some hard PG13 stuff. Or the Tim Burton BATMAN movies, which got quite dark, and somewhat reveled in that darkness. Even the Christopher Reeve SUPERMAN movies weren't quite the bubblegum parade they are written off as. I honestly think MAN OF STEEL was less dark/heavy than Reeve's first outing was. And no worries, I love the SAT words. I so rarely read/hear them these days. Fixed. Keanu Reeves, yes, but Christopher Reeve.
