Between "Dark Knight Rises" and "Avengers" and everything else that's on the horizon, it's never been a more exciting time to be a superhero movie fan. But David Cronenberg disagrees.

"I think it's still Batman running around in a stupid cape. I just don't think it's elevated," said Cronenberg. "Christopher Nolan's best movie is 'Memento,' and that is an interesting movie. I don't think his Batman movies are half as interesting though they're 20 million times the expense."
