The calendar of movies coming soon looks like a marathon of heroes versus villains. It will probably become known as The Year of the Comic Book Hero. Get ready for Hulk, X-Men 2, Daredevil, and The Matrix 2 and 3, just to name a few. Will these just be heroes of violent justice? Or will any of them represent deeper virtues?

And how will the hero of Mel Gibson's Passion play measure up against these Marvel-ous characters?

Stay tuned.
