Spider-Man like Batman are two very powerful characters of their universes. Both being super popular they brought back comic book fans to the mainstream media. However, both have had their share of bad movies: Spider-Man 3 and the horrid performances known only as Batman and Robin. Even though Batman movies have been around longer then Spider-Man, I do believe that Spider-Man could use a reboot. the first two spidey films are great so are the first two of the Batman movies. Three was the point where people started turing away. Spider-Man three had it's hits and misses more misses then hits I should say but it still brought enough money to make a spidey four. I thought Batman forever was a great movie but some believe that this turn from dark to dark comedy lead Batman to the point of failure. I also felt that both franchies follwed the same paths in Batman, Batman returns and Batman forever the villians died. follow Spider-Man 1,2, and 3 and you see it follows the same path. If you also take a look at both movies the first two films of both franchies bring out the heroes heavy hitter villians with Batman bringing out the joker and Spider-Man having green goblin and both died at the ends of both films. that is kinda scary if you look at it. thankfully we had Chris Nolan pick up the pieces with Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. hopefully Spider-Man four doesn't fail but if it does I hope that a skillful director like nolan can pick up the pieces of Spider-Man and return him to glory. I just hope it doesn't tkae the number of years it took for Batman.
