What the f*ck? I'm disappointed in hearing this, Mark. It's a pretty narrow minded way of thinking.

"...I think it’s really simple: the characters aren’t cinematic, and I say this as a massive DC fan who much prefers their characters to Marvel’s. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are some of my favourites, but I think these characters, with the exception of Batman, they aren’t based around their secret identity; they are based around their super power. Whereas the Marvel characters tend to be based around the personality of Matt Murdock or Peter Parker or the individual X-Men, it’s all about the character.”

Well... yes. I've been saying this for some time now. It's really hard to make multiple movies about a superhero who doesn't have that much of a personality and who's defining characteristic is their powerset... at least for this generation of viewers. Modern audiences like more personality, more intricacies from movie lead characters. This is why Hulk movies have trouble becoming successful. This why Nolan's TDK trilogy became so successful: Because they stopped concentrating on Batman and instead focused on Bruce Wayne being Batman.
