It's hard to recall anybody in a Superman or Batman movie talking about how drop-dead handsome those characters are. (If anything, their heroism or sense of honor as much as their physique is what attracts women to them). Even when Chris Evans' broad, naked chest is spied in the Captain America movies, it's a jokey beefcake moment played somewhat tongue-in-cheek, the filmmakers tweaking the cultural dominance of the male gaze.
