The trend in comic-book movies has been toward protagonists with a darker edge, a personal flaw or weakness, or maybe even a mean streak. Think Robert Downey Jr.'s charismatic narcissist in the Iron Man, Hugh Jackman's scowling Wolverine, 2 tragic Hulks, and Christian Bale's morally dubious Batman.
Moviegoers will see a different kind of superhero in Captain America: The First Avenger when full-length trailers for the film premiere today in theaters.
