Superheroes are Cool

I think it's time I write about all the superhero movies coming out recently. Let's see, in the past couple years there's been "Batman Begins," "Fantastic Four," "Spiderman 2," "Daredevil," "Sin City," and I know "X-Men 3" and "Spiderman 3" are in the works, as well as several others. What's the phenomenon?

Well, as youths, from about the time I was nine years old, my brother Jeffrey and I were avid comic book collectors. We still read them occasionally, and to see some of the characters we read about come to life on the big screen is very refreshing.

I was pretty fond of the new Batman movie. With a clever plot, a story that I've read widely has stayed true to the original comic book, it was very intriguing. Plus the cast was excellent, with supporting characters to Christian Bales' Batman played by the likes of Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Katie Holmes, Liam Neeson and Gary Oldman. And so what if it's the fifth Batman movie that's been made since the late 1980s/early 1990s? At least it's a good one, in my opinion, and my opinion counts for something.

I actually have a lot of different topics I could blog about, so maybe I'll try another one, a bit sooner than 10 days from now. Right now it's early Sunday morning and I'm going to get some sleep while I can in the dark of night. (Dark Knight=Batman--aha.) Goodnight.
