Welcome everyone to the first installment of a new feature here at FilmGamesEtc – Superhero Films Nostalgia– where discussions will focus on why you should watch a particular superhero film. These superhero films are not just limited to those based off of comics, but just about any superhero film will do. So you may see things like Hancock, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, etc. The main focus of this column is to give light and insights on films you may not have watched in a while, or at all. Maybe you have seen the particular film before; Hopefully, Superhero Films Nostalgia will give you reasons enough to revisit it. Discussion of these superhero films will not be done in any particular order, so if you’d like to see a film in this column, post it below in the comments! Let's begin with the granddaddy of all Superhero cinema, Richard Donner's directed Superman: The Movie (1978).
EB: In honor of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice release week the Screen Junkies YouTube channel has put out two honest trailers to poke fun at the original Superman and Batman live action films.
Batman wins here. They do make a good point about nothing really happening in Superman tho.

There are few superhero movie series with as much history as Superman: he’s been in films since 1978 and his tenure on TV and comics is more extensive than almost any other comic book character. Everyone knows who the guy is, and everyone’s seen the films, so with Superman fever reignited by the new Batman v Superman trailer, what better time to re-visit the classic (and not-so-classic) films for a little refresher course?
