I love Superheroes but can't read Comics

I will watch pretty much any superhero movie that they put out. I watch them with the eyes of a child because I don't read comics. I say don't but the word I should use is can't. My brain for whatever reason can not process the different sizes of the boxes. I can read comic strips fine. I always describe it as my brain sees big box, little box, full page, little box, elongated box, and by that time it isn't seeing the words on the pages. I grew up watching Adventures of Superman (1952-1958) and Batman (1966-1968) on Nick at Nite.  I was so excited about Batman that I asked for a Batman cake on my 6th birthday.  That also happened to be the year Batman (1989) came to theaters.  I tried recently again to read a graphic novel in preparation for The Dark Knight Returns (2012 & 2013) coming to DVD. Any time I hear hardcore Batman fans talk that is the book they mention. I got a few pages in before my brain got messed up on the boxes. I am so glad they do so many animated movies or I wouldn't know much about any superhero. I am psyching myself up for Son of Batman (2014).
