Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle in Returns.
Romances in superhero movies are extremely tricky to pull off. That said, which film did it the best?
LOL, that poll seriously needs some updating...
Without a doubt Zorro: Diego & Elena
Although this vid is way beyond lovey-dovey schmaltzyt:[YT]1AgDCT5nFBA[/YT]
Captain America: Steve Rogers & Peggy Carter absolutely worked for me too.

han solo and Princess Lia as well..
Yeah, Star Wars doesn't count. And if it does, we all know the greatest SW love story is Anakin and Padme.
LOL! Debatable - The SuperHeroHype ForumsMask of Zorro is not a superhero movie!
Jerry Siegel: "I loved The Mark of Zorro, and I'm sure that had some influence on me." ..."When writing the script, I had Douglass Fairbanks very much in mind in the athletic stunts that he did too, so the influence of Douglass Fairbanks was not only in the art but in the visual action."
Joe Shuster - "I was a great fan of Douglas Fairbanks, and so was Jerry and I tried to use his stance, the way Douglass Fairbanks looked, ...with his hands on his hips, in Robin Hood and Mark of Zorro, in all those he had those marvelous attitude..." " [His costume] was inspired by the costume pictures that Fairbanks did: they greatly influenced us. He did The Mark of Zorro, and Robin Hood, and a marvelous one called The Black Pirate - Fairbanks would swing on ropes very much like Superman flying... the feeling of action as he was flying or jumping or leaping - a flowing cape would give it movement.
Bill Finger - "Batman was a combination of Douglas Fairbanks [who played Zorro] and Sherlock Holmes."
Bob Kane -"Zorros use of a mask to conceal his identity as Don Diego gave me the idea of giving Batman a secret identity Bruce Wayne would be a man of means who put on a façade of being effete. Zorro rode a black horse called Tornado and would enter a cave and exit from a grandfather clock in the living room. The bat-cave was inspired by this cave in Zorro. I didn't want Batman to be a Superhero with superpowers So I made Batman an ordinary human being; he is just an athlete who has the physical prowess of Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., who was my all-time favorite hero in the movies.
Diana and Steve in Wonder Woman

Why not? If Batman is a Superhero.
I would call Zorro the definitive proto-superhero.
And the Fairbanks 20's Mark of Zorro the definitive proto-superhero film.
Anyway, these two were pretty great together.
What romance? Was there any that existed?I also liked it even more than the Peter and Liz romance in homecoming.Liz was incredibly bland and boring and easily the worst love interest in the Spider-Man franchise.
Admittedly not much. But Liz as a character was incredibly forgettable and the actor was unremarkable. The writers were not trying to make Liz&Peter a pairing like the other spiderman movie romances, but the whole thing with Peter being into her was just bland. I never rooted for peter to get with Liz because I never understood it. peter only likes Liz because she's pretty and thats all. I have no freaking idea on what Liz's personality even is, so why should I give a hoot if he gets her or not? Liz has no real character traits other than "girl," and shes mildly into peter. To top it all of their chemistry when their together is nonexistent and empty. Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy absolutely without a shadow of a doubt CRUSHES Liz in terms of characterization, likability, and importance to the story( admittedly this isn't a necessity).What romance? Was there any that existed?
