Surge of Super Heroes

There have way too many takes and movies of numerous heroes in the roles of Batman and Spider-man which failed to impress us, that failed to linger. But off late we have been witness to the latest trend of these amazing super hero movies that enthralled us all. There was a time when the super hero movie was just an action packed "good guy kills bad guy and saves the world"; but not anymore. 

The trilogy which we all enjoyed, lived with, fought over and made peace with redefined the outlook of super hero genre. Suddenly it isn't just about hero saving the world, it was also about how and what brought out his super hero instincts. It makes us believe that they were human too and they are someone who we can relate to, appreciate and respect. All thanks to Christopher Nolan being the outcast and for keeping ahead of the trend. Christian Bale mostly unknown till then added weight to the role of Batman. I cannot imagine better person for that role. I'm sure anything I say about the legendary battle of Batman and Joker of Dark Knight fame would only insult the serenity of such an equation.

Spider-man aka Peter Parker, the orphaned kid brought up by his Aunt and Uncle somehow looks different in the lens of Mark Webb. He seemed to stronger and better when it is Andrew Garfield who dons the Spider-man spandex. Yes the new avatar Spider-man and the new makeover to the less famous (in relation to movies at leas) super hero in the line of Marvel Comics. The transformed Peter Parker has stronger sense of righteousness and a childish side which is adorable. Needless to say his onscreen chemistry with Gwen Stacy is steamier and more real than the one with Mary Jane. Personally I'm happy to be rid of the latter but sorry for the loss of Gwen.

With hell lot of super heroes in line, waiting to unleash the charm and play Good Samaritan, the time has finally come for us to see them for who they are - As human as the person next to us with the will stronger than any of us to make the difference; the will that made them Super Heroes in the first place.
