It's funny how the attempt at mixing genuine, emotionally impacting drama and comic book superheroism displayed here is almost a prototypical form of what was done (much more successfully) in Batman Begins- the only real flaw is in the disproportional concentrations of each element, and in the filmmakers' insistence on keeping them distinctly separate.
Not to mention the sheer miasma of gut-churning angst, which never really dies down...
