Yes, the Spidey movies are the best.

I know I'm on dangerous ground when I say this, but Batman '89 is a terribly overrated movie. It's not necessarily a bad movie, but it is very poorly constructed.

The real modern day comic book movie genre was started by Richard Donner's Superman. Although it took a very long time after that for comic book-to-film adaptations to really get started.

There actually were a few comic book movies going way back into the early days (40s and 50s), but most of them were really bad. Most notably is "Batman," from 1943, which starred Lewis Wilson.

Got soem night-owls on here, I see.

Just stopping by to say "hey."

Got the spotted owls breasts ready to marinate for that 4th of July barbecue yet?

Manatee steaks are good, too, but they're not in season right now. ;-)
