The handouts extend to real life
Get that syphilis treated.
You can specifically do that first thing with The Winter Soldier.
Not at any moment in TDK do I forget its a cbm when you got a dude dressed up as a bat and a lunatic with a clownface as the main characters.
Meanwhile you can literally replace Rogers with Ethan Hunt to get the same great movie. If replacing the main character is even a thing worth praising.
The bullet fragment talk reads like nonsense.
Much prefer when real life techniques ppl aren't aware of are implemented in criminal investigation to the extent they come off as fiction.

You lost the moment you said winter soldier. Rogers: Superman strong pretty boy, created by an experimental serum, who slept in ice for 50 years. Bucky similar type super soldier/assasin with an arm made of imaginary alloy that’s indestructible. Also took a nap in ice for 50 years.
Yeah both replaceable by an Ethan Hunt type character

I'm not sure I understand you. Believable how?
I don't see what's so plausible and believable about a billionaire who is orphaned and grows up to fight criminals in a batsuit and a man who is an alien from outer space
You can make yourself believe its a not a comic book movie when you watch batman and superman but when you watch the Avengers you mark their movies down because you can't forget it's a comic book movie?
Are you trolling?

These characters origins have nothing to do with the comparison you were making.
It you want to go detail for detail you can not replace Batman with Jack Reacher or John McClane. That's ******* ridiculous. Do you know anything about McClane or Reacher?
Neither are wealthy billionaires who parents murder they witnessed in an alleyway that spurred on their motivation to stop crime.
Let's be serious.
You can't have it one way when you're praising TDK and then get dumb with another movie that is pretty much 1 for 1 in that idea and on point with the replacements mentioned.
Furthermore, McClane and Reacher could not be replaced with Bruce Wayne in TDK. They don't have the skill set or resources. The 2 Jack Reacher movies do not have him avoiding all of law enforcement, taking a trip to Japan to take out one man in a death defying stunt all while trying to prop up a DA for a city so that he no longer has to be a vigilante. It gets even worse with McClane. Do you even Die Hard b? When did he ever take on a bad guy using fear gas? Mans don't even have an origin he's just a cop caught in bad situation doing his best to stop bad guys. Bruce Wayne ain't never had a bleeding wound for near 2 hours while taking on bad guys barefoot. McClane doesn't get signaled by a big spotlight with his face or last name on it at night.
I can go on and on with comic book **** even in Nolan's movies that do not translate to other action films or characters.
Besides that TDK being a movie that you forget its a cbm doesn't make it a better movie. Adds nothing to it.
You failed at this the second you wanted to go in to detail.
Batman is not some everyman character.

I watched Daredevil for the first time time in about 14 years or so. It was even worse than I thought.
I actually watched the director's cut, which I hadn't seen up until now. While does it makes for a better film than the theatrical cut, it still has many of the same problems. The tone is all over the place in this one. It never knows what kind of film it wants to be.
Just look at this ****:
I bet when Mark Steven Johnson wrote (and later filmed) that scene, he really thought it the audience was going to find it hilarious and ****.
It's cringy as ****, 15 years later.
The MTV-style camera angles are terrible.
Daredevil just comes off like some low-rent Batman.
Elektra doing ninja training to Evanescence just screams 2003.
On the flipside, Colin Farrell as Bullseye was fun. And Michael Clarke Duncan (R.I.P.) was good as the Kingpin.
Thankfully, the TV series is much better.

Ok so I may have mispoke in my analogy. I didn't mean characters like Ethan Hunt or Jack Reacher or McClane could in a sense replace Batman in TDK.
What I meant was you could take the "element of the Batman" out of that move and it would still be a great movie that makes sense and IMO it makes it better than an MCU film because of that.
TDK transcends the CBM moniker because if you take Batman and the Joker out of it, you still have a great movie that makes sense without those things. Joker can just be a highly disfigured guy, he doesn't need the face paint. He's not like the comic book version where he's disfigured because he fell into some toxic chemicals, he just decides to wear it.
Again just my opinion and another reason why TDK is the GOAT CBM and tremendous regular movie overall.
Let's not forget it's 8 academy award nominations and 2 wins.

My comparison stands then.
Take the element of Captain America out of The Winter Soldier and what you still have is evil secret organization existing within a public peacekeeping force and their brainwashed assassin with one operative and some allies fighting to stop them.
When I think about it more you can take the element of the main character out of a few other cbm and it would still be great. It works even better for Black Panther. The concept can easily be a movie without any Marvel ties.
Yeah, I don't think it transcends cbms at all.
Like it being a good/great movie outright should be enough.
Nobody is pigeon holding cbms and saying it's good for a cbm.
Its either good or its not.
This is wild fraudulent
This is like empty padding of stats. Please list the nominations and what they actually won for.
This would be like me praising Infinity War as transcending all of film and then adding in some random nugget that it's an academy award winner..... for sound mixing

No you can't because the main hero is an artificially created super soldier who possesses super human strength and stamina (umm he holds on to an helicopter in Civil War), that was frozen in ice for 50 years then "resurrected" . He's the story.
You said backstory has nothing to do with it but it has EVERYTHING to do with it. Capain America is a superhero based on super powers that are in-humanly and scientifically impossible. I don't care how much steroids you jab into someone, you won't get Steve Rogers.
Batman is just a well trained fighter who happens to have armor and weapons that are within the scope of current technology and plausible. Owning them yea that's beyond the scope but that stuff like that exists? Yeah. Take any top UFC fighter that's scary huge and well trained in BJJ, Muay Thai, etc. Give him batman armor and send him out to jam people criminals up.
A Batman is plausible. Captain America is not.

Yes you can.
Cap is not the story.
You either completely didn't get The Winter Soldier or you don't get the Dark Knight as well as you think you do.
Cap's origin is irrelevant to the plot of TWS.
You literally can swap Cap out for Hunt, WS for Keri Russel's character from MI3
This has nothing to do with The Winter Soldier.
If you really think Cap is just the as formula and that's all that defines the character, you don't get it at all
You need to make up your mind whether or not you're talking about the movie or the superhero. Cuz if we're going to talk about Batman in detail there's literally no one else you can bring in to do what he does. Especially not Jack Reacher or John McClane of all action heroes.
That's emphasized even more when we get to the actual plot of The Dark Knight.
No he's not
Batman isn't just anything.
He's a genius in several scientific fields. He's mastered all martial arts. Dude is at peak physical fitness, strength, and health at all times. That's just to start.
Maybe some of the **** Nolan had Bats do you're ignoring or it flew over your head.
Cuz if not you made up this context and when shown an equal comparison go to a bias to try to dismiss it. Everything you're bringing up for Cap can be brought of for Bats to make your point null and void.
Exactly my point.We got one posthumous win and sound editing. Then those noms
Not origins screenplay or adapted sceeenplay, not best picture. Best production design nom though.
That helps the idea that it transcends cbms

Let's be real. A Captain America type is way more plausible than a billionaire orphan that grows up to become a crimefighter
IRL he wouldn't be diving out of planes without a parachute and holding a helicopter still with his bare hands, no...but an enhanced soldier is still way more likely than Bill Gates's son becoming an expert hand to hand fighter
