Go back to the early Batman and Superman comics. Those were pretty cheesy and dumb. The whole concept of a nearly invincible alien, who just happens to look exactly like a human, protecting the Earth from other aliens and monsters while his main nemesis is an evil billionaire businessman is kind of dumb. Or how about a billionaire businessman who trained himself to be an elite fighter and genius detective and drives a jet engine powered car/tank around town while the police just stand back and let him handle the tough criminals. The idea of magic goo turning turtles and a rat into humanoid creatures that fight crime is no less dumb.

I have to disagree. Superman is a strong man from another planet. There have been badass billionaires before. Yes they started off corny as hell, but there was more to work with than a bunch of teenage turtles who eat pizza and talk in 80s skateboard slang.

There's a reason why there aren't literal animals in the Justice League or the Avengers. If a frog happened to go into a nuclear reactor, became Frogman, and then joined with one of these groups, then we would all think they jumped the shark.

That's not the early Superman.
