Actually, I just had a different thought about this. Maybe it isn't the level of realism but that a more realistic super-hero is easier to get right in a movie. For example, I was a huge Spider-Man fan when I was a kid. One of the most disappointing thing about all of movies is they just haven't gotten Spidey to move the way I always pictured in my head. He was supposed to be incredibly fast and agile and I don't think they have been able to duplicate that yet. Batman and Iron Man are easier to make believable because they aren't super-powered.
