A movie that can portray both, I consider great.Movies that I feel successfully fulfilled the first criteria (admittedly my toughest) would be:Superman 1Spider-man 1 and 2Batman BeginsThe IncrediblesMovies that I feel successfully fulfilled the second criteria would be:X-men 1 and 2Blade 1Spider-man 1 and 2Batman BeginsFantastic FourThe IncrediblesSuperman 1UnbreakableHulkAs you can see, I feel that Superman, both Spider-man movies, Batman Begins, and The Incredibles truly stand out for meeting both criteria of mine.Some other superhero movies that I actually enjoy and consider ok are:DaredevilPunisherSuperman 2Teenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesBatman 1Superhero movies that I either just don't like, or outright hate are:CatwomanSuperman 3 and 4Batman 2, 3, and 4ElektraBlade 2 (never seen 3)TMNT 2, and 3</blockquote>
