They're all the same. Tim Burton's versions were campy and fun. I liked Dark Knight because of Heath.

But I honestly can't recall a single thing that stuck out with any other superhero film from Spiderman, Ironman, Superman, Batman and so forth.

Bad guy vs good guys and lots of cgi blowing shit up. Cool, bro.

He's right but the current iteration only need moderately coherent scripts since they're like 75 percent CGI fight scenes.

The thing is: the fights are boring? It's one of my problems with the current crop of super heroes movies.
