I hear you... but both Burtons and Nolan's roster of main characters are basically identical... just a few random variants separate them. Go ahead... just list them off in your head and you'll see that the differences are quite minor.

Incidentally, i thought that BOTH the earlier '94 incarnation and big Hollywood version of the FF stunk up the place... neither gets any props from me. It's not always about the special effects... it's when a Director simply choses to rewrite a set of characters out of ego because he thinks he knows better than over 50 years of successful history. Changes and updates are alway welcome... Iron Man proves this nicely. It's about really keeping the pulpy heart of the characters or mythos that matters... at least to me anyway.

Sorry that this has gotten a bit off track now... but i just like the new topic more than the conversation that spawned it.
Let's just discuss this in another more appropriate strand, shall we?
