So, i remember back in the day, James Bond movies became increasingly silly and campier, until Mike Myers came with Austin Powers, and it kinda flunked the real ones for a while until they decided to retry a more serious style with Craig. I feel the same happened with Scary Movie sending teenage slashers to hide in a corner for a while.

So... Why has no one tried a superhero spoof? At this point this shit writes itself, and it might give us a superhero respite?

... This is a kinda shower thought. But still.

Dude, Austin Powers is just a remake of all the original spy spoofs of the 60's like Matt Helm and Flint - hell Flint talks to dolphins (and I say this as a huge fan of the Austin Powers movies, they're hilarious, Mike Myers is a comedic genius).

Bond itself is a full-tilt spoof. I mean just watch Goldfinger - it's a hilarious send-up of so many tropes.
