I think it is all a matter of perspective. Personally, I think Batman Begins is only live action Batman interpretation that matched the feel of the comics in terms of the villians.

Actually most superhero films don't capture the true essence of the villians.

He is actually one of the few that nailed it. Here is a list of villains that were done properly IMO:

Green Goblin- Spider-man
Dr. Octopus- Spider-man 2
Toad- X-Men films
Penguin- Batman Returns

Very short list actually.

Who in here has seen the Captain America film attempt many years ago? I have. I do not know how I survived it.

I've seen pictures from the film before and Cap looked terrible.

The chances are slim, but it could happen. The only sci-fi she really likes is Star Wars, no Galactica, Firefly, or even Star Trek - she's more of a Harry Potter / Lord of the Rings girl. I could get one of my best friends to watch it and then read the book with me though.

I'm so dorky that I'm equally down with Star Wars/Trek and LOTR. Watch Excalibur with her. She'll think it slow, but it's wonderfully shot and you know all about Gurney Picard X popping up in there.
