Only seen three of those on the superhero movie list; not including Robocop as ~ wait, Robocop is a superhero movie now? ~ so I guess I really am not an afficionado of the genre.
Actually maybe that should be two as Watchmen is more of an anti-superhero movie.
I saw Batman because of Jack Nicholson and though there were some star names in the movie I cannot temember why I went to see Superman; did, however leave with a bit of a crush on Christopher Reeve since I saw another couple of movies because he was in them.
I do get some very confused reactions, and love to see them when I have to ask if some character is Marvel or DC. It's a genuine question since I have never, knowingly, spent money on either ~ ever.
The only comics I was interested in growing up were the occasional Star Trek ones I came across, and the stories in the early Doctor Who magazines; which are only available in the US now :-( and I only discovered The Crow after the movie came out.
I would likely have loved the Buffy comics at the time; certainly love them much more than the post-series comics (though I have used two of the characters from those for stories) and I find it perversely amusing that the one main character I did not like (not including Wesley, since he was only there for what? half a season) was the reason why I stopped reading the post-series comics. The final four issues had already been paid for but, even though they were supposed to be Spike-heavy, the treatment of Angel was so bad I couldn't continue.
I even wrote a story that was almost a 'fix' for the treatment of Amy. Working through some stuff I suppose as I left that run with definitively altered attitudes to some of the characters, and a much diminished opinion of the creators.
More of a three/four panel comic strip fan I guess.
