What 'Batman & Robin,' 'Man of Steel,' and 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2' Have in Common

VIEW ALL TOPICS

These theatrical adaptations have more in common than you think!

Each of these films was a major blow to their respective franchises.

Batman & Robin (1997) was so awful, that it stalled the successive films and almost the superhero film genre. Another Batman film wasn't released until the Christopher Nolan reboot in 2005 (Batman Begins).

Man of Steel was hindered by overzealous, existential storytelling and carbon copy action sequences. It failed to gross even $700 million and caused a major stall in the follow-up films.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was a mindless film, unfortunately. Every trailer leading up to the film showed more promise than the one before, and it seemed as though Jamie Foxx (playing Electro) would steal the show. This was the case, but only because he played the only solid character. The franchise is currently dealing with turmoil comparable to that in the Man of Steel franchise.
