I do agree that superhero movies have been taking themselves entirely too seriously for entirely too long. Go back and watch the original Spider-Man or The Shadow and then jump forward to today. All the camp is dead now.
Pitting a modern, ultra-broody Batman against a Joker who genuinely just wants to engage in Silver Age shenanigans for no other reason than to piss Batman off (despite the fact that this Joker is established as a murderer already) would be super fun.
Bonus points if Batman could’ve avoided most of the events of the movie by taking himself slightly less seriously.
If you havent, watch the latest two thor movies, also all deadpool and guardians of the galaxy movies if you want a bit more camp in your hero films. Oh and Gunn’s superman and suicide squad.

I’d caveat that deadpool relies heavily on popular media references. For some the jokes just dont land.
And Peacemaker. It’s not quite camp, but definitely a show that doesn’t take itself seriously.
Yes! I had so much fun with the first season. Must sail the seas for the second one.
