Even as good as Nolan's Batman series was, the tone of the serious to death comic or comic books as a real world allegory is on its way out. That law of diminishing returns kicked in right after Heath Ledger ethered the Joker role and made it incredibly hard to follow that performance with more(or more-er) of the same dark tone. But it cant/shoudnt tip too far to the other side either because then we enter into the Val Kilmer Batman type of idiocy. GOTG found and walked the line between action, fun, and intrigue perfectly and I can't imagine people wanting it any other way for the time being. Watch how hard Sin City 2 flops. Dare I say, the Frank Miller era(that pretty much spawned the modern comic to movie aesthetic) is over.
