I mean, Gunpowder Milkshake literally just came out, and was 90% the same story. This was more gritty, that was more fun.

In a short time (tongue-in-cheek), all films will have a superhero lead. That platform provides an opportunity for voice-over talents to inject dramatic skill in the characters wearing a mask. Recall the success of the international TV series, Power Rangers (30 countries). But that's TV. I digress.
