Here’s to hoping. But Hollywood is infamous at continuously failing the Open Book Test. I cite the FANTASTIC FOUR movies, DUNE, Stephen King’s DREAMCATCHER, Stephen King’s ‘SALEM’S LOT, GHOST RIDER, X-MEN 3, etc., etc., etc.

To each his own. I liked ANT-MAN for what it was: A fun popcorn flick. But by no means a classic.

I’ll take your word for it. When it comes to super-hero Thor, I just don’t care.

The vehicles (Tumbler, Batwing) rocked, of course.
It also helps that (at least in the comics) Batman has the best rogues gallery of any super-hero ever, with the only real competition being Spider-Man.

But the reason that Batman resonates more than perhaps any other super hero --- and also the reason Marvel characters were so superior to DC characters for so many years --- is “the ghost,” or a really compelling backstory. For a good explanation on that, see:

Doing a Silver Surfer or Doctor Doom movie before you've got The Fantastic Four right seems bone-headed to me.

First look at SHAZAM. I hadn't realized this was going to be a wacky comedy in the vein of The Greatest American Hero.

Much better pic of the suit. Hood on would make it even better.

Hmmm. Well, I guess that's why they got the guy from Chuck to play the lead. (And I can't believe that I used to like that show. ) Although in all fairness, Zachary Levi also played Fandral in Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Ragnarok.

Don't forget where Rudd came from. But Levi looks like he could his arse. (And he could, because... SHA-ZAM!!)

Patty Jenkins confirmed Kristen Wiig for the role of Cheetah.

Wiig must have killed it in the audition/screen test.

Wonder Woman 2 begins filming in May.

And before anyone scoffs, remember what Patty turned Charlize Theron into in Monster.

(And then there's that Nolan-Ledger thing.)

No shame in that. CHUCK was a great show, although it probably lasted a season or two longer than it should have.
