I grew up with the cartoon versions of the DC Comics Justice League of America. I did also read the comics.

In the last 5 years, heroes have been hot commodities in movies and comics are a top trending buy too. But why? I can't figure that out. I get that the TV show "The Big Bang Theory" helps and so does Comic Con, but that can't be the driving force behind heroes being this popular.

Batman and Superman never lost their luster, but now Iron Man, the Avengers, and soon the Justice League (2017 release) are hot movie characters!

It does my heart good to see this kind of entertainment become "immortal." We should always believe in super heroes.
