@masterbelmont: I'm one of the some who would say xmen, Spider-Man 1 and 2 kicked started the big budgeted CMB films from the late 90s to the present. Ever since xmen film, a CMB film has followed every year almost.
I do agree that Batman Begins expanded the CMB genre to a broader and some would say a more sophisticated audience(whatever).
The Avenger film while great and tremendously fun. That was just great marketing. To build up anticipation over a spand of five films. That all stood on their own as solid and entertainig films. Then finally putting all the high caliber actors into one film with that much action, story, and special effects. You got the cinema gold called Avengers. The best anticipation for a film I had since the phantom menace after the original star wars trilogy.
Still, some might say the films I mentioned wouldn't be possible without the Tim Burton Batman film which was really big in the late 80s and the original superman films with Christopher Reeves. Zod was awesome in those films. It's all subjective.
