Oh by no means did I mean to sell comics short. I've been collecting for years now. And I've obviously written something here that is sending a negative vibe about comics which was never my intention. By 'comic book portrayal' I simply meant that it was not two dimensional in any sense.
As I was standing in line to see this film, many people passed by and commented that it was only another 'stupid superhero' movie and went on to purchase tickets for 'Mama Mia'. I think many people view a Batman movie as simply a 'superhero' flick and my comment was simply to dissuade them from viewing it as so. The general non-comic reading public should see this movie if only to see a good movie unfold and get a better sense of what good comics are about.
I read Valiant comics for years, Eternal Warrior being my favourite. I think DC and Marvel have good titles as well, Batman and Superman my favourites.
So, I'm sorry if my comments came off as negative towards comics....afterall, I was the only woman who ever frequented my local comic shop! I'm a fan and didn't mean any disservice to the genre.
