When Hollywood does make a movie with a real hero, the movie usually does very well, e.g. The Incredibles, Dark Knight.

I agree that sadly, the anti-hero seems to be the norm.

I very much enjoyed The Dark Knight, and I was confused by this line in the posting above:

What he doesn’t want is to watch The Dark Knight and see Batman struggling with whether he truly wants to help people.

I didn't see Batman as conflicted at all.

Now, in the film adaptation of LOTR, Aragorn was portrayed as rather conflicted and unsure of himself, which I thought was completely wrong. In the book, he does not question his role at all -- although he does at least once kick himself for not always making the right decision.
