In the early twenty century, Hollywood produces so many ``Super Heroes`` who are the characters of the comic books. Actually, we can see a lot of movies titles in the theater like as Superman, Spider-man, Batman, Thor, Hulk, Green Lantern, X-men, Iron Man etc. Thus, Some movies critics call these phenomenon, ``the return of superheroes`` because they all were superhero characteristics of the old comic books.
