Check out Superman Returns today... Yeah I know I'm cool...

Must say I wasn't expecting much, but I was hoping it be good, and it was. There are some painful moments to watch, and not nearly enough time spent in Smallville. Kate Bosworth is gorgeous, and Brandon Routh suits the Man of Steel well. I'm still not crazy about Kevin Spacey as Lex... Gene Hackman wear are you now? The best scene in the film is the shot used in all the trailers / posters Superman in space , eyes closed listening to everyone. I'm also happy Singer used so much of the original films, I'd love to see more.

I'm hoping th next film will be a prequel, centering on Smallville and his arrival at the Daily Planet, and less on the Single Mom, Kevin Spacey Lex storyline...

Plus there's the teaser trailer for Spidey 3... Hopefully they kill Mary Jane (Kristen Dunst) off in this one... Black Cat and Gwen Stacey...

I never read a Hellboy comic, but i think it's about the most I've enjoyed a superhero flik. For comics I've read, the Batman Begins flik stirred the same emotions in me that I had when I used to read the comics.
I actually though The Hulk was well done too.

I was never a big comic book fan but Batman Begins seemed much like the original stories of the Dark Knight. My kind of hero...imperfect.

Isn't Batman/Bruce Wayne just a spoiled, rich kid who is angry at the world because his parents were killed? How am I supposed to feel any sympathy for a guy like that? I just find him to be a stuck-up whiner who can't move on with his life. He doesn't even have any real super-human powers! He just goes and buys a bunch of expensive toys so he can swing-around kickin bad guys in the nuts. Where is the "hero" factor there? And he kind of looks a bit like a mouse. That sounds a bit gay if you ask me.

Hello, that's what makes Batman special because he doesn't have any super power.

Batman is one the very few members of the Justice League without any super power. What he lacks in raw strength, he makes up for with intelligence, a keen scientific mind, Olympic-level athletic skill, Ninjitsu style martial art and overwhelming amounts of weaponry, armory and "gadgets".

Batman has a plan for every situation, and there is rarely a mystery that he can solve. Although he arguably one of the best martial artists in the world, he serves the league by directing its raw strength with the precision of a scalpel.

Enemies will likely underestimate the Batman since he is only a human, but they should realize he is probably the most dangerous member of the League.

Green Arrow was a member of the JLOA for a while and he didn't have any special powers. Iron Man (who played for the Marvel instead of the DC team) was kind of a bad ass as well and all he had was a metal suit.
