The Caped Crusaders battle a murderous criminal who won't stay dead...during the midst of 1960s Batmania?! Holy tone shift, Batman! This is a big week for comic book movie fans. In just a few days, the long-awaited Avengers: Infinity War finally hits the big screen, assembling a staggering number of superheroes in one film. And what better way to get revved up for the big event here on the INCspotlight than spotlighting some superhero movie themes?

Swashbuckling movies introduced me to historical fiction and the history behind it. The Lunar role-playing games inspired a stronger interest in epic fantasy. And the Adam West Batman series (1966-1968) introduced me not only to the Caped Crusader, but possibly superheroes altogether. (Originally posted on Channel Awesome on January 31, 2017)

2016 has arrived, and we've got a new bunch of comic book movies coming out this coming year. The upcoming trend seems to be heroes fighting heroes - not only do we have Captain America: Civil War (which I'm REALLY looking forward to) and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (which I'm...curious about), but from what I'm hearing about X-Men: Apocalypse, it sounds like some of our favorite merry mutants will be spending part of the movie on the titular villain's side. I'm not a big fan of heroes fighting heroes instead of villains, but I can't deny that objectively speaking, we might be in for some impressive action sequences.

I hope everyone who attended San Diego Comic-Con International this year had a better time than Iron Man does in this issue. From January 1975, this is "Convention of Fear!" (Originally posted on Channel Awesome on May 15, 2015)
