I did discover later on that I preferred a differing style, but the storylines woven in for some of the characters kept me magnetized to some of the more normal superhero lines.
I can say that they've dealt with it decently well, just due to the weird vagaries and strangenesses of the actual timelines in the comic books. Stan Lee and co were never quite as... strict with such things as Lucas. (Problem is they took one of my favorite single character storylines and turned it inside out, so it makes me more grumbley than it should.)
If I didn't know the written, I'd probably think the actual movies were fair spectacular, for the genre.... Similar to Starship Troopers, actually. As long as I don't think about the actual book, the movie was decentish, but as soon as I start trying to compare it to the book...

Why not Superman, just out of curiosity?
