I had a crush on him when I first saw Tim Burton's Batman, that only grew with time (and wasn't the cartoon-series Batman the dreamiest?).<br />Thor was awesome, and Blade! I love Blade, though Blade Trinity might be my favorite of the series, if only because Ryan Reynolds.Kris Atkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05580456319706723545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839646920915128083.post-65761742850299099332012-07-19T12:27:40.809-07:002012-07-19T12:27:40.809-07:00Agreed.

I forgive Batman for doing it because the Tim Burton Batman and the Chris Nolan Batman are so different, in look, feel and what we get to see from Batman. I saw the previews of the new Spiderman and in my brain, Tobey Maguire could still be in that costume. It looked similar. Now, I haven't seen it so I could be totally off base. I am sure it is good, but I can't bring myself to go see it yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839646920915128083.post-54635222048361306372012-07-17T14:09:34.571-07:002012-07-17T14:09:34.571-07:00S.L.

I haven't actually seen the Dark Knight yet, so I can't really put that one on my list yet... but I'm sure it'll be there for me in a few days. <br /><br />Every comic book movie I see, at least the Marvel ones, and maybe the DC ones too, but to a lesser extent, make me feel like a kid again. I grew up on comics, and used to envision what something would look like on the big screen as I read them.
