Back in February I wrote a piece on how the superheroes' moment had passed and an irreversible decline was setting in. I guess I hadn't anticipated how accelerated that decline would be, or how a very weak slate of upcoming superhero movies would only put the pedal to the collapsitarian metal.
Now I'm beginning to think we'll be seeing the last wave of big-budget superhero movies in the next eighteen months, or however long it takes to clear the decks of the projects already in production.
