Superhero stories were put on the screen long before CGI.

The Batman series from 60s come to mind or the Superman movies from the 70s (and there Superman III is IMHO the most enjoyable with a Richard Pryor that pulls of a really cool hack).

I should have said CGI got good enough to make them into really popular movies. Or more specifically, that they were able to recreate the same images that you have in comic books in live action movies. The superhero movies of the 60s and 70s didn't pull that off.

They were harder to do well, and less visually compelling on the whole though. It seems like technology should have at least some of the answer.
