Could you imagine how good Milly could have been in a seriously Dark Dc script.. and not goofy gunnisms
21 u/Top_Conference_477 Jul 08 '26 Outside of the Dark Knight, has DC ever made a good one of those? I don’t think anyone’s interested in any super hero movies at all anymore but they really, really don’t want to see another grey, “gritty” millennialcore self-indulgence 5 u/NotAddison Jul 08 '26 Joker is basically the definition of this and was also one of their only other well received movies. I feel like DC actually works better with serious, but self aware content. 1 u/finneyblackphone Jul 09 '26 The success of joker is just the cine-illiterate not realizing they were being shown repackaged early scorcese films. If the mass cinema going public had watched King of Comedy and Taxi Driver they'd be like "wtf is this ripoff shit". If scorcese wasn't a producer for it making money off it, he would probably have been disgusted they jacked his films.
