>>93625812I get what you're saying, but I don't necessarily agree. In fact, I think one of the biggest complaints normies had was how unrealistic the depiction of Two-Face was in the context of the rest of The Dark Knight with its attempt at hyper-realism. Also, it's not really the best to bring up Nolan in a positive light when speaking about adapting DC's comics. The Nolanverse was immensely disrespectful to the Batman mythology and has done far more damage to Batman's image for normies than good. Case in point is that they actually thought that Bale's Batman was good, despite the fact that he basically played some other character in a Batman costume.
But regardless, I think you're overstating how much people are able to suspend their disbelief. Especially normies. Why do you think Doctor Strange didn't play it fast and loose with magic? Why do you think Batroc didn't have his purple leotard? Or why Hawkeye didn't have his purple and blue outfit? Even Marvel recognizes when they need to pull back on something. Marvel's problem is they go full steam ahead with the talking Raccoon and yet can't reliably adapt magic or add some purple to Clint's costume until his fourth appearance.
DC is choosing to play it loose by making characters most people, including comic readers, have never heard of and making alien gods look more like alien gods and less like guys in costumes. It's not hard to understand why.
>>93626032The Norse Gods the Asgardians are based on are usually depicted as human, though, so it's easier to swallow for most normie audiences. Give them more alien gods that look like humans, ones without any basis in real-life mythology to draw from, and you're probably going to get more raised eyebrows than Warner Bros. probably wants.
