only slightly better? saaaay what? sorry but Batman vs. Superman and Suicide Squad are not medicore movies these are trainwrecks. Utterly unwatchable trainwrecks! X-Men Apocalypse is definitely mediocre but NOWHERE near these horrible, horrible DC movies...ugh!

Yeah, I've maybe been too harsh on X-Men. Scared of DC fanboys.

so which movies between 2006 and 2016 are "younger" or "fresher" than X-Men: Apocalypse? Sorry, but most Marvel movies are really not great movies...they are redundant and very one note. Days of Future Past is still the best comic movie after The Dark Knight and not Marvel movie comes close.

Absolutely. It feels like comic book films that have claimed to be "inspired" by The Dark Knight don't understand what makes that film great. Dark Knight isn't good simply because it's dark, and gritty. It's great because of the story, character development, strong themes, understandable motivations, relevant social commentary, and complex arcs for its characters. In that regard DOFP is the only film comic book film to truly follow in the Dark Knight's footsteps.
