Mike Mariani on Superman and Fantastic Four movies

Bio from the end of the NYT story:

Mike Mariani is a writer based in the Washington area and the author of "What Doesn't Kill Us Makes Us: Who We Become After Tragedy and Trauma." His writing has appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic and Vanity Fair, among other publications.

Wholesome, Noble Superheroes Are Back. (A Wholesome, Noble World Is Not.)

This summer's blockbusters leave behind the era of dark, "edgy" champions for heroes who can't help but listen to their consciences.
