Most super hero movies stink. A lot of the new cartoons are ok but pale in comparison to the comic storyline they're based on (New Frontier, All Star Superman, etc). The only example I can think of where the movie was really better than the comic was Road to Perdition and maybe X-Men: First Class.

...And Brave and the Bold, the animated series was overall better than any run of the title it's taken it's namesake from.

Nightmare knew no earthly liquid could quench the heat of such a forging...
So he found the dreams of one who spent the day crouching at the bottom of a comment thread, muttering a guttural belch of "meh". With this wettest of blankets, Nightmare found a strong enough quenchant to tame the heat.
