It isn't.
As a movie buff (I usually have seen 9 out of the 10 top movies out at the box office in any given week) the superhero genre is getting rather old.
If it was 5 years ago, I would be excited.
The director is great, and I'm sure the fx will be amazing, but it's getting old.
I will see it opening day, of course, and be happy to see it, but superhero flicks just don't do it for me anymore.
I think Batman Begins was excellent, the director really made it unique, but realistic, and made it different from all the other Batman movies and shows.
Superman Returns looks like a long episode of Smallville mixed with the Chris Reeves Superman of the 80's.
However, I do think movies like Sin City really add something to the genre. It is original, unique, and not very well known so people don't go in with preconceived notions about how it should be and how it should look.
I've never been a big fan of the "Superman" character anyways. A superhero that can do it all? Heat vision, fly, super strenght, fast, and on and on.
Oh God, my movie/comic nerd just came out!
