Because I grew up in Russia I missed on interesting phenomena when I was growing up: Supermen in fiction. Somehow "Superman" and "Batman" movies didn't make it across the border and I watched my first "Superman" movie when I was already in my twenties. At the time I was so-so about it but I thought Christopher Reeve was wonderful. And then WOW! After awhile I realised that there is not one Superman, but many! And there are some really attractive ones like Batman (Christian Bale! ** Sigh ** ) At the moment my daughter is growing up and she is all for "Fantastic Four" animation and Johnny Storm in particular but she enjoys "Spiderman" too.

I am so interested to know if you have any favourites among Supermen folk or to hear about your favourite Supermen films. It is just a good moment to remember some of them in all their glory:



The one who gives his name to them all: Superman! Also featured: a tight blue suit that fetchingly accentuates muscular legs, short brown pants, soft boots of the same colour and a cloak of superpowers. But of course, the main thing is a lock of hair attractively falling on his brow.



Alexandra's broody darling: Batman. He sports lots of black leather and bat-like mask. He has a figure of semi-god. He is torn and tortured by his past. He is Christian Bale and this sums it all.



Spiderman is the cute one in the family, even though cuteness is an unusual quality for a spider. He has a sense of humour and he carries flaming-haired Mary Jane in his arms.



Oh, my poor heart. Fantastic Four!! There is a hero to choose for every age, gender and body build. Can you see how Jessica Alba is heaving her bosom? Quiver all the enemies!!



And to end it all up nicely : A whole family of Supermen! Incredibles!! They are cool, they are real people even though they are animated and they rock!

Sorry, I didn't vote, because I didn't find in your pole an option for me - "no one". ;)
May be because I'm from Russia, too, I'm completely indifferent to all this Supermen stuff. Tried to watch already in my 20s, but all supermen films were completely and helplessly dull for me.

I know! But have you seen the latest "Batman" - "Batman Begins"? I was very very pleasantly surprised when I watched it.. But again, Christian Bale is one of the actors I like unreservedly. He just is so good at acting. He is not picture-beautiful but there is something in him that more I see him more I am drawn to his persona..

No, I did not.
You see, this type of films (about super heroes) is just completely uninteresting for me. I fall asleep on them. :) Not for me.

Anong all of them I could only really rec "Batman Begins" for someone like you who doesn't like the genre. This film is just more "real" somehow..
