Logan (2017)
"Not with a bang, but a whimper."
When I think about superhero movies in general, I just feel sad about how stupid and bold they are. There are lots of incidents, threats and thrills, but in the end, you know what's going to happen. That especially goes for all of the X-Men movies, I just feel pain because of their obvious stupidity.
That's when Logan comes into the place. There is no life ending threat to humanity, there are just Logan and those he loves. I liked how the villain can't be called a proper villain, who is just a younger version of Logan himself. The characters are not hilariously powerful, Logan is old and irritated and his actions are lot less destructive than before. And his greatest villain is himself.
No superhero movie felt so personal, so intimate to me before. The ending is not the end of the world, but Logan dying with his own heart in his hands.
You can't even call it a superhero movie, it is a whole another level.
The Dark Knight (2008)
Weird and ingenious
The most important character in this movie is Joker, for a lot of reasons. Batman has other villains like Bane, who challenges his strength. Riddler, who challenges his intellect but the Joker is greatest among them because his motivation is anarchy, which does not affects his powers or cleverness but goes deeper, challenges moral values, his own beliefs of justice.
The character of Joker is so dark, so full of anarchy, it's impossible for batman to truly defeat him, ever. That's why this is so confusing about batman seeming mere weak and The Joker appearing to be allpowerful.
