I think with all the slate of Hollywood film releases around comicbook/newpaper cartoon superheroes ... I think they've finally run their course for me.

I mean, how many times can Warner Brothers (or DC, or Time-Warner, or AOL/Time-Warner, or whatever the fuck they call themselves today) ... tell the same 'origin' story of an 'alien' (the lone survivor who makes it to Earth, and is by remarkable coincidence a white guy) who is raised by two white farmer (installing good ole' American Homeland values of hard work and loyalty) and may critique the system, but ultimately never challenge it?

Besides - calling it 'live-action' is questionable at best. Most of it is computer-generated imagery. 

To me, it's a reminder that Hollywood is essentially the de-facto propaganda arm of the US Crapitalist Empire, and it always has been.

Telling an original and entertaining story (without trying to turn it in to repeatable/profitable venture) is beyond their realm.
