Every summer there are a few constants in movies: big budget busts, over the top action movies, and comic book movies. There are three big superhero movies coming out this summer (2012):
The Dark Knight Rises
Release Date: July 20
Who's in it:
Christian Bale...........................................................Batman
Anne Hathaway.......................................................Catwoman
Tom Hardy...............................................................Bane
Liam Neeson............................................................Ra's Al Gul
Marion Cotillard......................................................Miranda Tate
What's it about: The Plot is still vague. What we do know is that Batman is still on the run from the previous movie (The Dark Knight) from the cops for taking the blame for Harvey Dent's (Two-Face) murders. Bane and Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) are in the film, as well as "Batman Begins" villian Ra's Al Gul. We don't know what Ra's Al Gul's part in the movie will be (flash backs maybe) since he died at the end of the first film. My guess is that the league of shadows (Ra's Al Gul's gang) will be involved in distributing the venom drug (the serum the makes Bane super strong). His daughter will probably be involved as well and try to seduce Bruce Wayne.
Why should you care: I shouldn't have to answer this. It is the final Christopher Nolan Batman in the trilogy. The Dark Knight was the highest grossing Comic Movie of all time (600 Million). Bane not only one of the strongest and smartest villains of Batman, but he also breaks Batman's back in the comics. This will be a guaranteed amazing movie.

The Amazing Spider-Man
Release Date: July 3
Who's in it:
Andrew Garfield............... Peter Parker/Spideman
Emma Stone.......................................Gwen Stacy
Rhys Ifans.............. Dr. Curt Conners/ The Lizard
What's it about: This is a revamp of the Spiderman Franchise (still can't get the taste of Spiderman 3 out of my mouth). The movie will depict how Peter Parker gets his powers and becomes Spiderman. There are a few differences that most movie fans will notice. 1) Instead of having webs come out of his wrist, in this movie Spiderman makes his own "web shooters." This is more accurate to the comic. 2) Gwen Stacy was Peter Parkers girlfriend before Mary Jane in the comics. She gets thrown off a bridge in the comics and dies.
Why should you care: This could either be really bad or really good. The director directed "500 Days of Summer" so it might have an indy low budget feel, which could be refreshing. I like the actor playing Peter Parker. The Lizard is a giant man lizard who could be a really lame villain. This is a toss up for me.
The Avengers
Release Date: May 4
Who's in it:
Chris Hemsworth..........................................Thor
Scarlett Johansson.........................................Black Widow
Chris Evan....................................................Captain America
Jeremy Renner..............................................Hawkeye
Robert Downey Jr........................................Ironman
Mark Ruffalo...............................................Bruce Banner/Hulk
Samuel L Jackson........................................Nick Fury
Gwyneth Paltrow.........................................Pepper Potts
What's it about: Loki, Thor's evil step brother, has taken over a powerful cube and now wants to rule earth. He is to powerful for just one superhero. So Nick Fury brings the Avengrs together. They will probably have problems working with each other at first and establishing a team. But eventually they will come together and work as a team in defeating Loki.
Why should you care: This is the "Ocean's Eleven" of superhero movies, in terms of a bringing in a bunch of big stars. Having so many stars is the pro and potential con of this movie. It will be interesting to see how they will give all the characters and stars their screen time and how so many big characters will interact with each other.
