The 30 day Movie Challenge - Day 21

Day 21 - The most overrated movie.

The Dark Knight trilogie. Fine entertainment, yes. Masterpieces, no. They're over the top, boring and full of plotholes. And please, could they just stop trying to make superheroes "realistic" ?! The guy is putting on a bat costume at night because he's still traumatized by the loss of his parents 30 years ago. He needs psychiatric help, not the indulgence of an entire city.
And yes, Heath Ledger was good as the Joker. But did his performance deserved all that hype. No. He would never have won the Oscar if he hadn't died.

I've never seen The Dark Knight trilogy as they didn't appeal. I prefer my superheroes to be less realistic/dark. Even Arrow was too dark for me at first, and I only stuck with it as I was assured it got better in S2, which it did.

Yeah this new trend of dark and brooding superheroes doesn't appeal to me much either.
