It's no secret that Suicide Squad and Batman vs Superman have not been hailed as cinematic successes in the same way Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy was.
Cillian Murphy, who starred in all three Nolan films, has added his voice to those critiquing the latest round of Marvel and DC universe movies.
Speaking to
Vulture, Murphy asked “Have they exhausted every single comic book ever? I don’t know where they’re coming from anymore."
Murphy went on to compare the latest crop of superhero films unfavourably to acclaimed Nolan trilogy. “It was a different time back when we made Batman Begins
. I think that Chris [Nolan] has to take credit for making that trilogy of films. I think they’re so grounded in a relatable reality."
"Nobody in those films ever had a superpower. Do you know what I mean? It’s a slightly heightened level of storytelling, where New York is Gotham, and no one did anything magical.
"Batman in his movies just did a lot of pushups and was, like, British. So that’s what I loved about them. My kids love the Marvel movies, but I don’t know. I don’t watch them.”
