His character was made out to be this propoganda thing in the first one, routinely mocked by actual soldiers but he came through for the soldiers in the end. Then in the present time he's had an interesting arc too with his desire NOT to be some tool for the State.
My experience with superheroes is actually similar to yours - I knew Batman (from the 60s thing originally, ha) through Tim Burton, Incredible Hulk through an 80s TV show, ditto Wonder Woman, Superman from the Christopher Reeve films, not really interested in the comics. I really came round on the MCU though - not yet started to watch the DCEU ones though. I'm concerned that I've heard Zack Snyder is really into Ayn Rand, does he bring obnoxious libertarian politics into his films because that may be a dealbreaker for me!
