I'm aware of the NCIS scenes, what else you guys got?

The pseudo-realism in those batman movies and comic book movies in general is a huge part of why I detest them. It's like an uncanny gap or something. Comic book characters are inherently ridiculous and absurd so I can't take them seriously. They ask me to suspend too much disbelief.

One specific example from the batman movies is at the end of one of them, I forget which, I think a few hundred cops charge a bunch of guys with machine guns or something? And I remember thinking in the theater they are about to get mowed down World War I style. But somehow they win, they all live, and the streets aren't flowing with a river of blood. You want me to take them seriously, while having absurd characters and situations, and then you put them in situations where they absolutely should be massacred..I just..I'm out..

I feel like the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies did that well. Sure their absurd but it kinda works into the favor of the movie. Also the acting of basically everyone helped, especially Willem Dafoe chewing the scenery.
