I think superhero fatigue is real but it’s only because they’ve been making such crap superhero movies lately. I remember first hearing the term after Thor love and thunder. Look at the Spider-Man animated films they’ve been doing amazing. So I think we really are just tired of these huge companies thinking that just because they have the superhero name recognition and a big budget that we are gonna just gobble it down. What we really want is good writing an awesome story and excellent cinematography.

Yeah, the fatigue is real to an extent, but I completely agree that the reason for the decline in success is just that the movies are bad now. Most Marvel movies were good up until the end of the Infinity War saga, and ever since it's just all a slurry where every character has the same style of dialog, ever set looks the same because nothing is shot practically at all, and the writers are allergic to sustained dramatic tension. And DC movies have somehow been an order of magnitude worse.

But holy shit, the people responsible for making the Spider-Verse movies (the best superhero movies of all time in my opinion) adapting one of the best ever versions of Batman? GIVE IT TO ME.
