Hollywood will never make a very good superhero movie.
Burtonverse Batman, Hellboy, The Crow, ...

I didn't like the Burton Batmans actually  :-\

Hellboy I forgot about. Yeah, that was a good one, but tbh I've never read the comic so from that PoV I can't comment much.

Also never seen the Crow; wasn't even aware that it was a comic.
Never seen Blade either or read the comic but a lot of people say it's good.
Never read the Constantine comics but the movie was okay too.

Hellboy = Best comic ever. You need to rectify this.

Pope Francis Calls Zack Snyder To Complain About Choice Of Ben Affleck For Batman

Hollywood, CA––"Hello, it's Pope Francis," were the first words spoken during a conversation in which His Holiness telephoned Zack Snyder, director of the upcoming film "Man of Steel 2." "Hello Your Holiness," answered a dazed Snyder, no stranger to celebrities but still star struck to be speaking to the Holy Father, the Vicar of Christ on earth. "Listen, I'll get to the point," said Pope Francis, "I thought 300 was awesome, and Man of Steel was pretty great too. But I don't know about Ben Affleck as Batman in your next movie." Snyder reportedly stuttered at this point, unsure what to answer His Holiness. "I mean, I trust you as a director and all that, and I'm sure it won't be that bad, but there really weren't any better choices? I mean this is the guy that played Daredevil. Did you even see that movie?" Snyder then reportedly answered that he had not. "Exactly," answered the Pope, before concluding, "My son, I'm not saying this is an enormous mistake or anything, and I'm certainly not speaking ex cathedra here. I'm just asking you to reflect a little more when you make decisions like this."

Mr. Mysterious

I wonder if they'll ever cast his wife Jennifer Garner as Poison Ivy? Hope not.

Supposedly a Wonder Woman film is in the works too.

Yes.
Yeah, me too. But I thought this one was funny.

Bryan Cranston is the new Lex Luther. I'm excited.

I dunno. Once the household names start getting thrown into the mix it usually comes out a big turd. I predict this movie will blow and blow hard.

The Dark Knight Rises had an ensemble cast, but this did not hinder its cinematic merit.
