re: The 10 Most Disappointing Superhero Films all of time(article)

3.Man of Steel (WB)
Man of Steel may not be as outwardly terrible as many of the films on this list, but it holds the distinction of being one of the most disappointing.While most fans would say that Snyder captured an aspect of Superman that had never been seen onscreen in his no holds barred physicality, many also felt that the film veered too far in this direction, heaping on wanton destruction (and a generous but unspoken body count)


10.The Dark Knight Rises(WB)-Still a very good film in any other context (Christopher Nolan didn’t suddenly forget how to make a movie), Dark Knight Rises had everything to prove ... and apparently tried to.

Nolan seemed to cast aside the "real world" ethos that guided Batman Begins and the Dark Knight putting Gotham and the plot onto the world stage. He set up Bane as an uncharacteristically outlandish villain, radically shifted the movie’s (and the entire trilogy’s) ‘internal clock’ in the second act, and wrapped the epic up with a saccharine or uplifting ending (depending on your POV) that totally changed Batman's context in Nolan's gritty world.



Reverse these two and any list of worst comic book movies that doesn't have Iron Man 3 and X3 loses all credit.
