Comic book superhero movies are now a
phenomenon with Marvel's move on the "Iron
Man" series or the "Avengers." DC Comics is
trying to catch up with their own releases of
comic book adaptations, one of which includes
Superman and Batman.
Batman movies have been a standard comic
book adaptations with various versions getting
a release throughout the years. However, none
have been more striking and more appealing
than Christopher Nolan's "Batman Begins"
series starting in 2005, which ended with "The
Dark Knight Rises" in 2012.
Superman movies have also been a staple with
numerous adaptations throughout the years
but the Superman film of 2013 titled "Man of
Steel" is looking to renew the franchise to pave
the way for a Justice League movie.
