Say what you will the R - rated
superhero flick — like for instance that it falls in line with many of the same familiar tropes it purports to mock — but the gleefully violent and «adult» - oriented box office smash opened the flood gates for more of its R - rated ilk,
showing studios through the ever
influential power of green (not Green Lantern mind you), that audiences were more than receptive to «mature» content in their
superhero films.
