Director Bryan Singer on Saturday gave some 6,500 sci-fi,
fantasy and comic book fans first look at footage from
"Superman Returns," the latest attempt to revive the DC Comics
movie franchise.
For me if it sucks I'll just laugh and move on. But I wouldn't have if the same were true of say Batman Begins. When you have a character that has been around for 50 plus years and reaches icon status it's different than just a movie. There are fans that have been reading an following these characters exploits every week for their entire lives.
That's a lot of time invested in a character and that builds a lot of fondness and attachment. Really I think comicbook fans are more picky and attached to their stories and characters than any of the sci-fi brands. And that's saying a lot when you look at trekkies and star wars nerds. :lol:
