Are Spiderman Movies Better Than Both Superman N Batman Films?

I was trying to exaggerate by saying that Supes and many other heroes have personal problems like those as well, BUT the writers usually don't focus on them because, hey, tha'ts just not the nature of the character to worry about "trivial" matters. That doesn't mean they don't exist. On the other hand, Spidey writers make SURE readers know when Peter's late for a class, when MJ is pmsing or when Aunt May is in debt.

The Spidey mythos focuses on trying to relate to the reader...a REAL human being by showing how a superhero such as Spidey would have to worry about fighting gods and monsters but also see his life fall apart due to issues REAL humans could relate to. The writers make it EASIER for us to feel bad for Peter. It's a lot harder to relate to some alien like Supes who's so godlike. This lack of sympathy IMO makes the character of Supes potentially more complex. Just like Martian Manhunter, or Wonder Woman, or someone most obvious like Aquaman. How do you relate to someone who talks to fish?

Good debate nonetheless. As for which movie I like better...hmm. Superman movies are classic. They're a must for every superhero movie fan (except maybe Superman 3 or 4..those were just bad/funny). Even Spidey pays homage to Supes in the first movie, running towards the screen and opening up his shirt to reveal a "spider" insignia. I think to a new generation, Spidey movies will be their generation's Superman movies....they may even think he defines the iconic hero since that's the present buzz. An overall feeling that I get when I think of Spider-man 1 and 2 is for "the teen audience." Supes was made for EVERYBODY...adults respect such an icon and kids are undoubtedly marveled by him.

Okay the first 2 superman movies were good, but the last 2 were bad. Okay part 3, he fights lex luthor again. I can except that. Why is Richard Pryer in this movie? WTF? Part 4 had a lot of budget problems.

YEAH, having Richard Pryor in it really realy sucked cos it went from being an action film to a comedy stint without the comedian. It sucked bad. I hope the new film is more adult like and the plot more realistic. That richard Pryor episode was crass............it totally punked out. No real villain to fight either and that also killed it.

2 was the best cus they whooped his butt good before he overcame. If the next film doesn't give him decent opposition, the film isn't coming near spiderman films. Whats the use of seeing one guy dominate all others and he isn't even human.

i LOVE SUPES and will always be a supes fan but he needs good opposition if not, we all know the outcome and think, it wont tickle our
taste buds.

Supes is cool, he was just too strong. I mean like the cross over I read where he fought hulk, all of a sudden he said stuff like he could becomoe super-anything he touched on earth and from that time on, Hulk's punches could never affect him. Then he punched the Hulk and hulk flew into space.

How do you explain that? Spuer what on Earth? Nobodies that strong even in comic standards.

Yeah I agree with you. Superman is so uber strong that he never has a real challenge. I would love for them to do a plot were he loses some of his power to make the character more likable.

I just don't understand how showing less of Superman's problems are more complex. I mean Spider-Man has both normal and Superhero problems. therefore, I think he's a lot more complex.

I agree with her, Spider-man is a better defined character. We know all about his personal doubts and how most of the public hates him. His own boss is always calling him a menace. The thing I like best about Spidey is when he is doing something annoying like crawling thru the sewers and he will make a comment like... "you never see Daredevil going thru the sewers" or " I bet the X-men don't have to put up with this." Which is funny, because I say stuff like that all the time. 🙂

yeah, I love it when Spidey does that as well. Which reminds me, I think Spider-Man has a lot better dialogue than Superman and batman. u usually hear superman say something corny, while spidey actually sounds like a character with more personality.

thats what makes spiderman cool and 'Phat' or shall I say fat like a fatcat!
ROAR! Thats right all you cats out there, spidey's dialogue is more realistic and that's why he simply sells more and beats bats and supes hands down! The new episodes are cool too. HE'S WITH MJ. Duh!

I hate the way they try to make batman always sound like he is some kinda mentally ill psycho driven hero. Spider-man is just a better rounded character, When ever Sidey has some down time he is happy. I think the Spider-man movies are the best because they haven't had a bad film. Unlike Supes (parts 3 and 4) and Bats (parts 2, 3, and 4) If Spider-man can keep up the great films then he will always win this debate.

I agree. 😄

YEAH, and I do believe folks at Marvel read this thread and understand what people want! Has anyone read the new comic on astonishing spiderman? Its getting funnier by the minute and even when he's Peter Parker, he's cracking jokes and thats what Peter was back then! He's like a Bruce Willis or Eddie Murphy or Will Smith in tights and a mask.

I remember in the 80s and early 90's how my friends and I used to crack up reading spidey comics and laughing at the jokes he said while beating up on the bad guys! It made them so angry they'd lose control just like Mohammed Ali did in his hey days as a young champion!

He wound up his opponents so much they lost focus on their game plan and freaked out in anger! SPIDEY'S BACK ! Thanks Marvel!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God bless ya all!

The stories are getting much better too like the new Green mombster frankinstien............in the new story. One day, I will work for Marvel cause it'd be a dream come true!

Comics are a way of escape just like a good book is.............. Make mine Marvel any day!!!! God bless Marvel Enterprise!

The new Fantastic Four film is gonna be another hit because the Hulk villain is gonna be there.....whats his name? The Juggernaut! Yeah, so that'd be cool. What will the new superman film be like or the batman film? Will it compete? I think folks will go and watch it for curiosity's sake but if it was really tops, the word will spread around..

But this summer's HOT! With Star Wars...return of the sith and so many other cool films! 😎 😄 🙂

The Juggernaut is going to be in the new Fantastic Four film? I thought it was going to be Doctor doom by himself? Wow. Star Wars 3 will be awesome. I hope they kill that stupid Jar jar binks. What I stupid idea for an alien.

Re:Thread question.
Yes!

yeah i have that issue with digger the 'zombie mobster frankenstein'

zombie na zombie!!!!! walking zombies in spiderman? Scary stuff! Can wolverine kill it?

He better

Why are they going to be zombies in a Spider-man movie? Um.. that would be odd.

no dude, it's the comic stuff i was talking about! Dont know about the film!

Better mention that next time. 🙂
