After the atrocious Batman & Robin, Batman was brilliantly brought back to the big screen in Batman Begins.

Whatever the reason, it does make the movie stand out.Over the last decade, we have seen a number of superhero movies get a much needed reboot.

Or maybe Fantastic Four dropped the post-credits scene just to deviate from the norm. So I'm hoping that the kinks are being worked out and that we'll see the Fantastic Four drop into an X-Men film in the near future. Parallel universes meet all the time in sci-fi. Frankly, that's an easier wall to scale than the ownership issue.

But producers told the Daily News that the two properties don't even share the same universe. The X-Men, however, are under the same umbrella as the Four. So sadly, they probably won't get to play together. The Avengers, meanwhile, are still in Marvel's hands. Even though the Fantastic Four are Marvel creations, they were bought by 20th Century Fox. (And the ideal meat for a post-credits scene.) But it's the rights stuff that makes cross-pollination tricky. Crossovers tend to draw in wider audiences, so a meeting between the two teams seems like a no-brainer. The rumor mill was working overtime a few months ago with tips that this version of the Fantastic Four might share a screen with the current X-Men series. But based on some movie business background, I can offer some possible reasons why the movie didn't get what now feels like the standard comic book adaptation treatment. Neither the creative team behind the film nor the studio have come out with a definitive answer on why Fantastic Four does not contain one of these Easter egg bits, making it a break from the superhero movie norm. But why isn't there a Fantastic Four post-credits scene? Yet if you've seen the newest comic book movie this summer and repeated this process, then I'm so, so sorry, because there was no such scene. You have to squirm in your seat while you wait for the one or more blink-and-you'll-miss-them post-credits scenes or risk them being spoiled by a giddy Twitter timeline. The film ends, and the slow crawl of the credits begins. You've sat through two and a half hours of CGI'ed space flights, painstakingly choreographed fights, and cocky one-liners while draining the trough that passes for a 'small' diet soda at the movies but could actually have assisted you in your Ice Bucket Challenge. My kindred superhero movie fans know the feeling.
