I find it strange and weird that they are completely rebooting Spider-man, Batman and Superman. One of them being restarted would be understandable -- but all three? What do they think is going to happen?
I think the big splash was already made -- so unless a whole lot of time passes, like for instance the 16 years between the first Batman movie, and the reboot of Batman Begins, these are going to feel like warmovered leftovers.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they'll be so spectacularly original that everyone won't shrug.
Then again, it's a lot like what the comics themselves do over and over again. Reboot, start over with a #1.
They get a small boost every time they do it, but it quickly fades.
