Amazing Spider-Man is a darker take on the web slinger but just how dark? Andrew Garfield who plays Peter Parker compared the reboot to The Dark Knight in a new Empire magazine interview.
“We haven’t gone for gritty, we’ve gone for grounded,” Garfield told Empire. “If we try and make Batman, we’ll fail. The new Batman is it’s own thing – and also in terms of tone, Spider-Man is nothing like that character. Spider-Man is witty, Spider-Man is a kid, Spider-Man wants to have fun, he’s a teenager and he needs to go through first love and piss around.”
