I didn't understand the appeal of superheros decades ago. I understand it even less now with the veritable deluge of films in the genre. Not that I don't appreciate the broader concept of speculative fiction; after all, there are great films in science fiction, horror, post-apocalyptic, alternative history, the surreal, et al. But this niche; do not comprehend. But to each their own.

Let me see, a grown man running around in a rubber suit with a young boy as a sidekick.
And people think I'm weird.

Exactly.

Or slightly less disturbing, but equally incomprehensible, a musclebound guy in tights and a cape, from another planet, who can fly for some reason.

Movies for me are, 99%, just something for fun...turn the brain off and be entertained for a couple hours. There are no sabers made of light or little old green dudes that can move stuff with their minds. While there are documentaries I enjoy, for the 'big screen,' why would want to watch movies about mundane/boring reality?

And as far as 'Batman,' he's an 'anti-hero' who doesn't depend on alien and/or superpowers, so while completely fiction, its at least grounded within those reality limitations.
