Your subjective spin. A millionaire whose parents were killed, who devotes his life to fighting crime and works out of a batcave are concepts over 5 decades old.
As I said, old concepts with a modern twist added on. But essentially, an old concept. It was an old concept in 1989 when Tim Burton did his first Batman movie. It was an old concept, brought back to its 1940s roots, when Neal Adams and Dennis O'Neil did their first Batman story together (DETECTIVE 395) in 1969.
Again, what part of plain english do you not understand?
Yes, it's an old concept. It's a very old concept. But you can't deny that the movie is a lot darker than most superhero movies... it's darker than every Punisher film ever made. It's darker than most adaptations of new material. And it's certainly darker than every single example you provided in your post about "superhero movies that have done well" (conveniently neglecting to mention Bat-Man)...
...and it has done much, much better than all of them.
