Not as yet, would you recommend it ?

The Superman movies have been nothing but a let down over the years.

 

As a movie it's very good. As a true Superman story, not so much, Shy's away from the comic books, etc.

I guess how many times can you portray the same real comic book story in different ways?

There really is more than one comic book...They don't always have to be about the start of it all.

True, guess I'm not enough of a comic book buff to know so should have rather said nothing .... I guess Tumbles .... now there's an oke who may be more qualified ...

I would like to see them adapt some of DC's Elseworlds series. Some great stories evolved from that imprint. Kingdom Come comes to mind:

An interesting rough overview:

The DC Comics site has some info, but it's not as awesomely comprehensive as the write ups on the Marvel side.

I've posted this before here: the Marvel comics have been given better screen treatments than the DC comics, with the exception of the Dark Night series.

I somewhat agree. The Avengers has been the best so far, but Batman held his own against the others. I believe the Superman + Batman movie that will come out in 2015 will be awesome.

 

I believe Marvel is better (super debatable) - the reason for this, is they take more care of their characters, put a lot more information out there. I mean, just look at both websites, DC is a mess and Marvel is awesome. Also, Marvel's movie intro is awesome!

Does anyone else find the Jimmy Hendrix picture strange - see how the crowd is standing with arms folded and very negative body language! Weird. Wonder why?

Very good attention to detail! My fav one is Wolverine. The others need dark colouring. Maybe put a dark filter on them, other than that, very good!
