I give this one an "Oh, brother...!"

There's a new Spider-Man movie coming out. There's a new Fantastic Four movie coming out, and this one looks like an actual FF story with the trippy and everything. Further out on the horizon are a new Batman movie and gosh-only-knows what else.

Why am I so thoroughly uninterested in all of these, even though I still read the appropriate comics? Seriously, this isn't a rhetorical setup for an opinion piece. I don't understand why I don't care more. It's not just me being mopey. I'm looking forward to the new Buffy series.

What is it about superhero movies that I just cannot be bothered?

Because most of them are no damn good, so you've learned not to get your hopes up?

Batman Begins was actually pretty good. Maybe this is Superman Returns's fault. Did not like that one at all.

I'm feeling iffy about the quality of the Buffy comic, actually. I'm still looking forward to it. But we'll see.
