Batman

Mega, I 100% agree with you. Mark Ruffalo knows how to do the anxiety / nervousness which is at the heart of Hulk. The things, I, personally, don't feel like he's that great of a hero, she-hulk pretty much stole his spotlight for the last couple of years and he doesn't have anything new coming out. Hulk is way to big to be relegated to the background in any film, and I agree with you 100%

Just wondering, how much do superheroes actually evolve and change over time? I don't read comics or graphic novels much these days, and am more of a film geek in any case.
I'd have thought that the long-running nature of comic books would mitigate against this. It's not as though Batman has a story with a beginning, middle and end. I get the impression that if there are big changes they tend to get rebooted, retconned, or otherwise explained away in a really convoluted plot so as to maintain the status quo.
Imagine if Peter Parker had aged in real time from a teenager when he was published in the sixties through to a 70 year old now. You'd probably be onto his son or even grandson as the current Spider Man. Or a grumpy old man kicking ass and taking names.
That makes the origin story the most interesting part. I haven't watched Arrow, but I believe they've interspersed that throughout the series, rather than getting it out of the way in the pilot. I think that's the way to do it.

There's no chronological evolution, but the writers go with times, 60's Batman comics were much like the Adam West TV show, 80's Superman had a mullet. Character development is more a necessity the movies, it's much easier to change a comic book history than movies, which generally do require the dreaded reboot.

No, I don't know who most of them are either…
Before the fanboys get up in arms about Will Smith not wearing a mask, he does have one.
Along with a pimp costume for when he's blending in as a civilian.

It seems as though Our Glorious Leader is developing Dr. Doom style soundbites…
OK, it's Marvel rather than DC, but…

Maybe Batman has some kryptonite in his bat-utility-belt, next to his shark repellant spray?

To learn of course (quickly, without having to wade through all the comics).
As an aside, I recently inherited a stack of mid-late 60s DC comics in fantastic condition, mainly Superman but others also. I'm looking forward to reading these.
