Superhero flicks are one hot genre of movies today. And why not? After all, they're the most interesting genre of film on tap today. For the past several years, a number of the top grossing cinematic offerings have been superhero movies. But how can a genre that used to target mainly children be so popular today? One reason is that superheroes are just plain good people. They show an astonishing level of virtue and humanity, and this is easy to identify with. A superhero is the kind of person that we are or that we hope to become. Additionally, superhero origin stories often deal with death and loss, and this can evoke a sympathetic response from the audience. Take Batman, for instance. For most of his life, he has struggled with the memory of watching his parents die. And who among us hasn't felt a similar sting of loss? So in a world of evil and misfortune, people love to see their superheroes who act as symbols of virtue and who vanquish villains-as well as their own weaknesses.
