I never got the appeal of realistic superhero movies like Batman Begins. The fantasy aspect is the primary appeal of superheroes. Indiana Jones can't fight an alligator man in the sewers, but Batman can. John McClane can't stop a meteor from hitting New York. That looks like a job for Superman.

There's also the renaissance man appeal, but I never got into that. The way I see it, superiority is a profane concept.

The Tim Burton movies could've used a little more action, but they hit the right note of being fantastic in the presentation department and a little Earthbound in what the hero was capable of. Modern superheroes generally invert that and there just isn't much of an appeal there for me.
