Those costumed capers

2011 in movie terms may well be seen as the year of the superhero - the first month of the year will see The Green Hornet and in May we should see Marvel's Thor as well as X Men: First Class and before the summer is out we will also see The Green Lantern kicking arse on the big screen. Captain America is due in July and whilst not a superhero in the strictest sense, the new Conan movie kicks off in August.

Both Marvel and DC comics have several superhero projects on the go with film companies and the long awaited The Avengers is due to follow Captain America and Thor to the big screen.
