not since Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer) (Blade Runner) ... can I recall such an interesting, complex villain... one who we still empathized with
there probably are others (in a sci-fi film) but those 2 I couldn't help but love , empathize with. Now that's good writing.

The thing i have noticed with super hero movies, even right back to Superman I with Christopher Reeves, is that when the villian comes into movie, half the movie is dedicated to exploring their story.
The movie stops being a super hero movie and becomes super hero and super villian movie.
Sometimes, like The Dark Knight, it becomes a super villian movie.
