Superman worked because Chris Reeves larger than life and carried the perfect characteristics of Superman. The first two Batmans and Batman Begins all worked because he was portrayed as a dark character by the actors. Do NOT confuse fan appreciation of other tv shows with our consent to cast former teen drama stars as the role models for future generations.I have two little boys, and I will show them the first four Superman movies, the first two Batman movies, and the older Star Wars movies, before the Lucasizing-for-profits venture. There's a reason why the movies are considered classics--because, in any day and age, nothing has come by that you could compare it to. Bruce Lee will still kick Jet Li's ass, any day of the week.Give us class, not just pretty pictures.
