It's like the filmakers are thinking 'ok... we already have humanoid turtles and rats, let's not go overboard with a ninja clan led by a super villain too. that's just TOO goofy'.

I of course don't agree with this, but based on the trend of current movies, it sure seems that way. Look at Dark Knight. The Joker was reduced to just some crazy guy with clown make up instead of someone who actually fell into a vat of chemicals that permanently turned his skin white and hair green and kills people with lethal laughing gas. That movie was so dark and realistic, the only thing cartoonish was Batman himself.

I don't think they are going with that notion of 'realism' with this movie. We certainly wont be getting 'dark and gritty' with the Channel 6 crew taking prominence and Raphael passing himself off as a guy in a costume next to Dora the Explorer and Spongebob Squarepants.

I don't think they are going the tone of Nolan's Dark Knight movies. If anything it will resemble Michael Bay's Transformers movies which arn't dark or realistic. Come to think of it neither was the Avengers which was a name trotted out as what they were aiming for.
