I agree that Superman Returns was aimless, and I also think the casting of Lois was aweful. Spidey's next, let's see if he can do better.

Batman in space stories are always odd and forced, and Superman stoping a bank robbery is like bringing a nuclear missle to a watter balloon fight. Each has it's place. All that being said, I liked the Batman movie better - liked the pacing much better vs. Superman which seemed to not know what story it's trying to tell. Superman and Lois - not very dramatic and engaging to me. “Is that worse than seeing your parents shot and killed after suffering through opera” LMAO

I think Superman has a place in our time, but it hasn't been sorted out yet. I swear, you must have read my mind on this one.

Batman seems to be more a hero of the modern world. I think the shift away from Superman, at least for me, has to do with the more cynical, less apple-pie times we live.

I think we've talked about it before, but Batman is also, by far, my favorite superhero as well. Great post!
