Video: Summer of the superhero



>>> finally tonight, on this friday heading into the weekend evening, thoughts often turn to the movies. as the season take its big final turn into summer and the big studios hope to fill out movie theaters , starting this weekend, they're reaching back a bit to some classics hoping to refire the movie imagination. our report tonight from nbc's kristen dahlgren in los angeles .

>> power, 400% capacity.

>> how about that?

>> when it comes to summer blockbusters, hollywood is pulling out the big guns . the studios hoping superheroes have the power to lift ticket sales on their way to saving the world . if it all looks pretty familiar, that's the point. filmmakers are hoping to recapture the iconic characters like thor, ironman, captain america , the black widow , and the hulk. this time, all together in the avengers.

>> to see all of those people come together in one movie, first time ever something like this has happened, it's kind of epic.

>> but the super group is just the first in the season of superheroes. in july, spiderman gets another reboot, then batman makes his repeat performance in the dark knight rises. the lottest installment for the caped crusader .

>> i think the genre is something that we all deep down wish we could do ourselves. i mean, who wouldn't want to fly?

>> it's not all old school. tinsel town is turning the page on some character traits . in the comic book , superheroes were always larger than life . here in hollywood , they said they're a lot more like you and me, complex characters who are not always perfect.

>> apparently i'm, what is it? volatile, self obsessed, and don't play well with others?

>> in a way, we're all outside. especially anyone who grew up loving comic books . we were the geeks in the corner, the people that didn't have a lot of friends, that had creative abilities that people didn't really understand. we're each kind of our own avenger. i think that's why people really respond to it.

>> the studios are appealing to female audiences. in the tradition of wonder woman , it offers powerful women like an hath way's kat woman, emma stone has spiderman's love interest , and scarlett johansson 's black widow . comic book legends meet modern times in what hollywood hopes will be a spectacular summer. kristen
