Exactly my point, Clint, SFX and CGI aren't everything!  I'm actually not a huge original Superman fan myself (I know, heresy) and don't think it's held up well at all, but I think it's also incredibly important to the genre.  Maybe we get Batman without it, but I doubt it.What kills me about how people see Black Panther is that that the talk tends towards it's importance in diversity of voices (which is important!) but to me, the more important thing it did was prove that Superhero movies could have complex themes and characters in addition to awesome action, finally following through on what the Dark Knight started (but didn't pull off quite as well).  It's just too bad BP didn't give the studios the guts to give more filmmakers larger control over the stories and to be bold, though perhaps Superman this summer might be the next.</blockquote>
