Lots of great examples of the alternative superhero movie genre in my twitter feed. I won't RT them all, but it's interesting how many.

Superman premiered in 1938 and almost immediately there were not just knock-offs but satires: original Red Tornado, Plastic Man, etc.

Superman creators Shuster and Siegel themselves did a parody of their creation, Funny-Man. So self-parody is intrinsic to genre.

@dsquareddigest Yeah, I feel like the dark and gritty tone has exhausted whatever value it might have had.
