    What superhero movie did George Lucas ever make?
    Unless you count Howard the Duck or Indiana Jones as Superheroes?

    Tim Burton's 1989 Batman reinvented the whole superhero genre. Everything since has been a reboot of that but simply an updated variation of Burton's "grown up" approach to the genre.

    A very good shout Frank, but who had more charisma, that's the question. Two adonis' of the silver screen that's for sure.

    I go through phases.

    Went a couple of months where I fell in love with thirties to forties films....

    Acting, cinematography....simplicity but depth...

    Not a film maker but study those (better ones obviously..like any age there is some ****e in there lol)

    Actually watched a black and white silent version of the start of Indiana Jones (think it was Soderbergh did it) showed how important lighting was...reminded me of all the best b&w films...

    Yeh that's a good shout, you're right about the simplicity but depth. There's a few B&W Hitchcock ones like that. Can't remember but Gaslight iirc was one and very very good. But the one B & W that I remember as having a brilliant twist was Stage Fright. Completely flipped the viewer's thinking.

    Great Film with awesome British cast...but definately a Deitrich stealer....and I'm not a Dietrich fan.

    Hitchcock was great...he's remembered for his horror/thriller but he did romance, comedy just as well when he could be bothered. You can tell when he was forced though lol

    I think Richard Donner's Superman is probably the first big budget superhero movie.
