If you're suffering from comic book movie overload you're in good company - Cillian Murphy feels the same way.
The 40-year-old Cork actor, who currently stars in BBC drama Peaky Blinders, once played the villain Scarecrow in Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. But now he's had enough of superheroes on celluloid.
"Have they exhausted every single comic book ever?" Murphy asked in an interview published by Vulture. "I don't know where they're coming from anymore."
Drawing in the Batman trilogy he added: "It was a different time back when we made Batman Begins. I think that Chris has to take credit for making that trilogy of films. I think they're so grounded in a relatable reality.
"Nobody in those films ever had a superpower. Do you know what I mean? It's a slightly heightened level of storytelling, where New York is Gotham and no one did anything magical.
"Batman in his movies just did a lot of push-ups and was, like, British. So that's what I loved about them. My kids love the Marvel movies, but I don't know. I don't watch them."
