Dylan Dog: Dead of Night (2011)

Dylan Dog (Brandon Routh) is a detective currently working on infidelity cases in New Orleans, alongside his wisecracking assistant Marcus (Sam Huntington). But his true calling is to keep tab on the city's secret community of monsters (vampires, werewolves, zombies, etc.). A gruesome murder, committed by a werewolf, and a stolen artifact reluctantly brings him out of retirement, not to mention the victim's pretty daughter, Elizabeth (Anita Briem). Dylan must re-enter the underworld, re-connect with his old contacts (Peter Stormare, Taye Diggs, etc.), navigate a complex mystery, and hopefully find a solution before an even bigger, deadlier monster is unleashed.

Routh is slowly beginning to demonstrate some of the personality he was lacking in Superman Returns, and his character is mostly interesting, despite some bumps in logic; he begins the movie as a slob, but quickly changes over to a sleek, black wardrobe once he takes on the new mystery. Perhaps a better movie could have done some justice to this potentially appealing character, but this is not it.
