Step 16: Watch the Most American Superhero During the Most American Week

Today I went and saw Man of Steel with my mom and my grandma, and though I will admit I'm more of a Spiderman fan (1, 2, and re-boot - not that crappy third movie), the movie was pretty good. Maybe not good enough to pay ridiculous ticket prices... man I want my old job back at the theater - I can't handle $6.50 for every matinee I go to... but I digress, (plus my grandma payed this time, so thanks Grandma!). If ticket prices were just a little cheaper I'd say definitely go see the movie in theaters 'cause the big screen makes the fight sequences really cool. The story itself, I've been told it veers from the original Superman legend, though the way they use flashbacks to show us Clark Kent's childhood is cute (though the way they use it to show us his young adult-hood, eh, that's more a confusion of "are we in the present or the past?"), but being more of a Batman fan (the Christopher Nolan trilogy) and not knowing much of Superman's original story, I found this particular story interesting (if somewhat rushed).

Basically, as more of an Iron Man fan (you know which ones I'm talking about), this Superman movie did get me more interested in Superman's story, just like Spiderman 2, The Dark Knight, and Iron Man. And that should be the goal of ANY movie, let alone a superhero movie. 'Cause the more you can get people interested in the story, the more of the story people will want, and thus sequels and prequels and spinoffs and books can be made.

So my question to you: Who's you're favorite superhero?
And my challenge to you: Check out Man of Steel when you get a little extra dough (or when it comes to Redbox).
Bonus challenge! Not that I'm on a Starkid kick (see last post), but if you are a superhero fan or even if you're just a fan of musical parodies, check out Holy Musical B@man! on Starkids' YouTube channel. Not only do you get to see Batman and Superman duke it out, but you get to see them duke it out while singing!
