Subsequent promos seem to be trying to obscure the more "morally reprehensible" elements, so I'm fairly confused about just what the movie is supposed to be saying. Frankly, I'm tired of all the psychoanalysis that has gone on over the last 30 years or so regarding comic books. Comic books have turned into the emo kids of pop literature and Hollywood is reflecting that in movies like Sin City and Kick-Ass. I'm so glad Marvel Studios understands that superhero stories are supposed to be fun adventures and they've given us that with Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk. I was always a DC kid, but with Warner Bros. screwing up so many DC properties, I'm all about the Marvel Studios films now. I was also squeamish when I saw the initial trailer.
