How DC and Marvel Must Readjust in a Post-Superhero Fatigue World
Nerdist argues that the success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day (the biggest domestic box-office hit ever) and Lanterns (one of HBO’s biggest hits) shows the “superhero fatigue” narrative was exaggerated, but that the studios must adapt to a post-peak era (2012–2019). It recommends DC reserve films for the Trinity and Justice League, and for cheaper takes on lesser-known characters like Clayface. Mid-tier heroes like Flash, Nightwing, Catwoman, and Green Arrow should get prestige-TV treatment, in the Lanterns mold, possibly on other streamers. It says Supergirl might have worked better as a Woman of Tomorrow series. It says Marvel should keep focusing on films, since too many Disney+ shows diluted the brand, and that each release needs to feel like an event again. The author concludes both studios should lean on what worked before: Marvel on movies, DC on TV.
