Sorry, I hope you didn't take that first part as me snarkily correcting you, that was more some thinking out loud about the whole "realistic" thing. Because really--who decided that "realistic" paired well with "superheroes"?
I totally forgot about Daredevil, oh my god. Daredevil and Green Lantern are the Superhero Films That Must Not Be Named from everything I've heard about them.
Did dudebros in your class seriously say that Batman does things without sidekicks?? Um. Honestly, I find Batman as a standalone hero completely boring. I would only be mildly interested in Batman if not for all the Robins and Batgirls. And they add so much richness to his story and are really the only way he can move on and move forward. Also, Superman...doesn't have sidekicks? He has buddies and there's a Superfam, but he's not their mentor or partner like Batman and Robin are. Dudebros say the damndest things, huh.
And speaking of dudebros, there was this group of guys in the theater today that laughed at literally anything in Aquaman? But like. In a mean way. Whatever, your spite watch is all green dollar bills to the people who made the movie.
