This. Exactly. When the theater dies so will Superhero movies as we know them now. They will be too expensive to make.

I’d like to see some more humble films.

I wouldn’t mind a Batman film where it’s a dark thriller and he’s more of a detective trying to piece together a puzzle.

Maybe have Riddler as a villain. But grounded in reality. Perhaps he’s a serial killer like “The Zodiac” Killler and they call him “The Riddler” because he leaves puzzles at his crimes that give clues to who is next, and who he is. Batman works with Gordon in tandem to solve the crime. Maybe have Joker in Arkham like “Silence of the Lambs” when she works with Hannibal. Maybe Batman has to talk with Joker for help solving the crime.

It wouldn’t cost much. You don’t have to throw 200 million dollars at an over bloated CGi mess to have a good superhero film.

Agreed. I was kind of hoping that is what we were going to get from Affleck when he was writing the script for and directing The Batman. Sad he couldn't make it work.
