When it comes to Broadway with superheroes people tend to think its going to suck to the core and most of them if any before where mostly comedic. Is there a possibility a superhero drama on Broadway can be new and exciting especially for non comic fans to casual Broadway goers? I think so since I like musicals too in which I have been thinking it would be fascinating to do that like spider-man or batman. Spider man turn off the dark is that chance introducing a modern genre to Broadway with its intense flying in the air above the audience, special effects, and drama. From the creative team of Loin king so whats not loose and yes people are getting hurt and high budget well thats because there trying there best to bring this modern myth to life so we need to pit our faiths with them to make a great historic musical instead of not giving it a chance to prove itself. On the other hand there doing batman which is on stage but not musical rather a more darker dramatic tone maybe while introducing robin of how he became the boy wonder as the main story approach so that could work out much better since there are a lot of plays with very dark Gothic tones like phantom or Jekyll and Hyde which batman can fit in. What is your input on this subject matter?

There have been so many injuries associated with Spiderman in pre production I hope no one gets killed in the actual show. The old broadway term, "break a leg" is going to be taken literally when it comes to this show.
Given the phenomenal success of past shows like phantom of the opera, twenty Todd, and even Dracula, you would think that doing a Dark show like Batman, would've been a no brained. The characters the populate Fictional Gothlam city would blend seamlessly within the cultural fabric of a city as diverse, corrupt and unpredictable as New York, but hey! What do I know? I'm only an educated consumer....
It's interesting how the entertainment industry of film, television, and now broadway have turned to comics, a " lowbrow" medium to be their savior.
