Is it just me, or in every Batman movie to date does the romantic interest find out that Bruce Wayne is Batman?

Let's see, Vicki Vale in Batman: Check
Catwoman in Batman Returns: Check
Batman Forever? Hmmmm, maybe not - don't remember
Batman & Robin: Uh, I tried to wipe that film from my memory
Batman Begins: That chick from Dawson's Creek: Check

Quote from: Teflon BillyI'd probably add the first X Men movie if it was more like the opening moments at the concentration camp and less like Wolverine: The Motion Picture.

No that movie doesn't come out until next year, seriously.  The balance was good to the characters.  And less Wolverine would have meant a lesser movie :D

Yeah, he tells Nicole Kidman in Batman Forever who he is.

It was something that I was hoping wouldn't happen in Batman Begins.  Honestly, why does Batman always have to have a female love interest?  Holmes' character was so unnecessary and she was easily the weakest part of the movie.

Because everyone naturally assumes that he and Robin have a thing goin' on.

Batman Begins, Unbreakable, the Incredibles, the Hulk, both Spiderman movies, both X Men movies, Mystery Men, Daredevil, Batman, Dark Man, and Superman.  In that order.

Man, me and Vermicious seem to have the same taste in movies.  :o

I added Dark Man in addition to Unbreakable.  It's good fun.  :D

Dark City is superhero-ish, right? I really liked that one.

But as for Batman, that has confused me forever. The love interest thing takes time away from the real story that is the heart of the Batman saga - his struggle with himself. And kicking supervillain ass.

No mention of Fantastic 4 at all?? I didnt think it was that bad, I also really liked the punisher....blade movies were cool too....too many to choose from, I liked most superhero movies that came out...the ones that sucked are usually the end of the line sequal ones...

I enjoyed the Fantastic 4 movie and Jessica ALba was superhot in it.  But then I was never a fan of the comicbook so I'm not looking for detaled correctness.

I really liked the Punisher movie, of course the whole vengence theme in movies really gets me anyways.  I'm also a big fan of the Blade movies.

yeah alba was damn hotttt, liked all the characters, they were really damn cool, was worried bout the thing sfx wise but turned out pretty good...like dthe way they played up him adjusting worst the most....

Punisher had alot of replay value up there with lethal weapon and diehard...I really liked the actor they got to play the punisher, was a little iffy on all the old men they had as guards and such...

(In no order) Superman, Batman Begins, Incredibles, the first Blade, X2, and Spidey 2 rate the highest with me.

All are good examples of the best parts of the supers genre, and are well-told, fun stuff.

Infra-man?

See Superman as a hole is something that I grew out of, other than Smallville that is.  While I loved the movies when I was younger they just don't hold water now, just too cheesy.
