Yeah, he just made himself look like a gatekeeping arse. A superhero film can be every bit a piece of art as any prestige picture or oscar bait. Were it not for the jam packed year it was released, Logan would have likely seen a **** ton of Oscar success, The Dark Knight WAS an Oscar contender and the way it's looking, Joker will be too.

Comic books are such a wide medium that to discredit it as a film genre is just dumb.
