Superheroes took over my tv

what is every boy's dream? to see their favorite superhero on the big screen of course! i remember being a kid and just WISHING for x-men to be a movie instead of just a cartoon. how cool would it be to have real life people with mutant genes that gave them cool powers? or a more realistic superman without the blue screen, or batman who really was  the "dark knight!"

well, not only have all of these characters and more been made into movies, but argueably, over the next few years, all will have become movies and they will probably have remakes of each of them within the next 10 years. 

for a project of mine, i looked up the superheroe movies that have been made ever, live and animated. i found that since 2000, the united states has produced 66 live action and 41 animated superhero movies. from 1951 to 2000, 51 live action movies and 2 animated superhero movies were released. that's crazy! about 1 a year from 1951-2000 and then about 5 a year after that. why the huge push to create superhero movies? because they sell...because it is not only every boy's dream, but every man's dream as well, to see his heroes on the big screen. what a glorious time to be alive.
