Best known for playing Scarecrow in the Dark Knight Trilogy, actor Cillian Murphy was recently on an interview with Vulture and he was asked about what he thinks of the big comic book movie bloom happening and he didn't say very positive things. "Have they exhausted every single comic book ever?” he asked. “I don’t know where they’re coming from anymore".
He continued, and talked about how Christopher Nolan's films are very much different than the ones today. “It was a different time back when we made Batman Begins. I think that Chris [Nolan] has to take credit for making that trilogy of films. I think they’re so grounded in a relatable reality. Nobody in those films ever had a superpower. Do you know what I mean? It’s a slightly heightened level of storytelling, where New York is Gotham, and no one did anything magical. Batman in his movies just did a lot of pushups and was, like, British. So that’s what I loved about them,".
He also asked about the very-popular Marvel films and he said he isn't very fond of them but his children certainly are.“My kids love the Marvel movies, but I don’t know. I don’t watch them.”
