SuperHero remake animation movies, a trend?

This year we are seeing many superhereo remake animation movies. Animation which I watched when I was kid, except maybe for dominant Otaku, nobody knows Devil Man, Cutie Honey, Ninja Hattori kun and now Casshern. There is Spiderman 2 and the the UK's Thundrebirds remakes made overseas in Hollywood.　Is this trend of this year?

I saw a media preview of Thunderbird recently, well, it is a movie for kids, not for me. When we watch such animation or movie version of the original comic, we have to expect to be disappointed . Well I remember the first time I saw Batman. I really wondered why American people think this is ok? I mean, for me , M. Keaton looked too OSSAN, in Japanese, this means, just a middle aged guy, nothing special.

Following this point , for me being a Japanese, it is hard to know the passion of American people for Batman. I mean what is the image of Batman? I felt like that the fist time, but now I know this Batman was better than Val Kilmer or George Clooney's Batman ha ha. Any ways, I feel the same about Spiderman; Tobby looks too much of a wimp and is too cute. I have this of colder and tougher image of Spiderman.

I agree with Eztak. I've always liked Spiderman for those reasons.

Now if you really want to understand Batman, the movie Batman Begins is the one that stays most true to the DC Comics. The others are not quite right, in my honest opinion (even though I like the ones that Tim Burton was involved with).

When you said Tobey from spiderman looks too whimpy and cute and that you had an older and tougher image of Spiderman I chuckled because who Spiderman is ,.
Spiderman had a hard time getting dates he was just ordinary ,that was the intention of Spiderman makers .They wanted him not to be some handsome guy that gets the girls ,they wanted him to be like avrage guy so the audience could more relate .Imean pretend there is a character whos like you and then you see him triumph in the end it makes you feel like thre is hope for you ... just watch the directors commentary they explain it more.
