Poll Are DC films Realistic? (48 votes)
Not really questioning whether the films are good or bad but do you regard the modern DC films such as the Nolan Batman trilogy and Man of Steel as realistic?

god like beings moving at super speed and destroying ships? Lol ummmm I think some people might not know what realistic means.lol
The TDK trilogy was realistic. But Superman, Green Lantern, Watchmen, and all other DC movies, are not realistic.
Realistic? No.
More sophisticated? Yes.
(Obviously not counting the terrible flops like Catwoman and Jonah Hex)
Lets just say they are not as over the top.
lol did you see man of steel?
@novi_homines: Lol, did you see The Avengers?
I still don't get the "more realistic than marvel's" comments.
Outside of the Batman trilogy, which is also matched by the Iron Man trilogy/Cap: The First Avenger in marvel in terms of realism, all DC films are just as fantastical. Thor, Man of Steel, Incredible Hulk, Watchmen, Green Lantern, I really don't see the difference in terms of realism. The tonal differences are definitely there though.
Yes, DC films are more realistic, and I hate it. All that realism sucks the life out of what superhero movies are supposed to be about.
@novi_homines: Lol, did you see The Avengers?
lol I did. And they both had tons of action.
the different tones make DC seem real. The world is not as bright and sunny as Marvel makes it seem basically. But at the end of the day DC has Batman. His movies don't include a bunch of people with superpowers so it will seem more realistic.

I don't necessarily agree with this. The world wasn't bright and sunny in Cap: TFA, there was war. In Iron Man 1 stark was held captive by terrorists for months and was on the brink of death. And the incredible hulk was just dark all around. It's just that Marvel mixes in the brighter side along with the darker sides of life with their movies. While DC seems to want to focus more on only the darker sides of life.
The character reactions also affect the tone. Even though stark and Cap were in dark times, they still found ways to be positive about the situation.
It's just a preference. I love both of their movies.
Not realistic but surreal. So far, they've felt like they could exist in a slightly less realistic world than the one they live in. They're darker and take themselves very seriously. But I wouldn't go as far as to use the actual word realistic.
This is a good answer that suits my views as well. They aren't more realistic but it's somewhat more plausible these characters could exist than those in the Marvel films.
It's all about tone. Marvel tone is usually very happy and campy. Marvel movies are usually very fun pop corn movies while DC is more sophisticated. DC takes themselves serious in movies which is why they get more backlash than marvel, For example nobody really cared about the plot holes in the avengers because it was just a fun movie to watch while in batman movies the slightest plot is considered huge. Get what i mean? There is nothing wrong with either style and they both have their place but to answer the immediate question no DC is realistic but its as close to it as possible. As in marvel they don't feel like it part of our world but in DC they do.
Most Nolan related films and Imprint films (Watchmen, History of Violence, V for Vendetta etc) are more realistic than Marvel films.
@novi_homines: Batman's films wern't even realistic. A car that turns into a motorcycle that can run up walls? A leg brace that gives a cripple the strength to kick through bricks, and a nuclear bomb going off near a city without causing nuclear fallout or killing the guy who ejected moments before the explosion. Not realistic at all.
a movie with a billionaire who dresses like a bat and fights crime should not be considered "realistic".
I kind of hate how people think realistic means good. I have a friend and we always argue over The Dark Knight Rises because I say there should have been a real Robin and he thinks it would've made it unrealistic and campy. No, you are wrong.

No comic book movie will ever be 100% realistic.
TDK and MoS is more realistic than Disney/Marvel however (since I feel that is really the question being asked).
MoS is more realistic than Disney/Marvel
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAAH...........................wait..... you're serious? O_o
@tektheninja: Yes. The fact that you seem to think otherwise is what deserves a laugh.
@fallschirmjager: don't get me wrong. MoS was great, but THIS IS NOT "realistic".
@tektheninja: Pleas read what I said again. No comic book movie is realistic.
But MoS is more realistic than Avengers.
Yes it had alien beings flying around with superpowers. But at least it tries to give an explanation as to how they can do it. Avengers doesn't do that.
@fallschirmjager: here is the explanation.
@tektheninja: So you accept that argument with Avengers. But even though Man of Steel not only has the same, but then goes onto detail, its not more realistic?
K.
And seriously. When the answer is "Aliens" or "Magic" or "Cos". They're not even trying to be realistic. DC comes off as realistic because they explain how shit works.
Of course DC movies are realistic. Look at Man of Steel and Green Lantern. Two of the most realistic movies I have ever laid eyes on.

I'm not counting the Nolan triligy when I give my opinion. So, I think it's a mistake that DC is trying to make them realistic. It can't be done. Marvel has at least SciFi wibbily wobbly timey wimy reasons for their heroes gaining powers, a bit of suspecion of disbelief. But Superman get powers from solor radiation how? He flies how? The Green Lantern ring basically grants wishes like a genie. How can you make that realistic? Heck, making it realistic takes some of the fun out.
