Best & Worst of Superhero Movie Girlfriends
Iron Man opens this weekend. And call me a nerd, but I'll be damned if the sun will come up Monday morning without me having seen it. We are living in the Golden Age of comic book superhero movies, and they've got the formula almost perfected. Troubled loner looking for his purpose in life. Discovers he has powers. Uses them to do good, help those who need help, and most importantly, score chicks. Every superhero movie has to have the love interest, and Iron Man's appears to Leslie Bibb, who played Ricky Bobby's wife.

Not a bad choice; she was cute in Talledega Nights, but I'm not sure if she's worthy of cracking the Superhero Movie Girlfriend Top Ten list:
10. Michelle Pfeiffer, Catwoman, Batman Returns

The kinky, cross-species near-mating scene between Catwoman and Batman made the suits at Warner Bros. throw up in their mouths, which hastened Tim Burton's departure and the arrival of the abominable Joel Schumaker for the last two sequels. Still, it was worth it.
