Rothman highlights emotional finale over action
Studio chairman Tom Rothman says Brand New Day isn't just another superhero flick: it's getting great reviews, and its big finale is all about emotional dialogue instead of a typical action showdown.
He even compared it to Black Panther and Joker, hoping it will help change how people see what makes a "quality" film.
