Well now.....

Just like to point out how frustrated I am at "people."

Look, I've always been a fan of superheroes, mainly because I like to write and writers love heroes. The idea of a "super"hero is just fantastic.

The problem with movies being made about these wonderful characters is that suddenly everyone thinks they're a scholar on the mythos and that one is better than another.

Personally, I'm a Batman fan. But truth be told, I love them all. Do I really have to choose? The only thing I don't like is when they're changed too much for film. I understand the reason for a lot of changes while adapting to a different medium, but some things are changed just to be changed. I say, go with what the fans want. Why? Because they know / understand the source material for a reason. They don't dress up as their favorite character because they're all the same, but rather because of what makes them different. Hollywood needs to wake up and embrace what the fans love. That's what's going to really hook the general audiences onto these heroes.
