Years ago, in my comic-book-collecting days, I always preferred Marvel over DC. I'm not sure why. Maybe I just relate to the characters more or something.

I do love Superman 1 and 2 starring Christopher Reeve though. He really brought an emotional core to that character. I watched Superman Returns with Brand Routh but was unimpressed. A forgettable performance in my opinion. I haven't seen Man of Steel yet so I can't comment on that film.

As for the Batman films, I like Tim Burton's first film from 1989 and Batman Begins. I thought Dark Knight was OK but really didn't understand why everyone was raving about it. I really enjoyed Dark Knight Rises though. It seems like the opposite is true for that third Nolan film for me. i.e. Most people seemed to think it was ok whereas I really liked it. The only thing I disliked about Dark Knight Rises was the unconvincing romance performed by Christian Bale and Marion Cotillard. There was zero chemistry and a complete lack of interest coming from both actors in their performance.

Anyway, I'm not particularly enthused about a Justice League film (or the Superman/Batman film for that matter). I couldn't wait to see Avengers when it came out but I will wait where this film is concerned.
