Phoenix had also earlier stated that the movie is completely a new look, going the length to say he wouldn't even categorize it as a superhero movie. “I wouldn’t quite classify this as like any genre," Phoenix said in a recent interview.

I think, underneath the excitement of these films, and the size of them, there are these incredible characters that are dealing with real life struggles. And sometimes that is uncovered and exposed, and sometimes it isn’t, and so I always felt, like, there were characters in comics that were really interesting and deserve the opportunity to be kind of studied.
