Okay, if you are thinking of going on a superhero walking tour chances are you are a fan of superheros and comic books. If you aren't then it will lose it's luster which can be said for any specific tour. Our guide had lots of history and factoids about the wild west days of the comic book industry. An animator himself and a comic fan he also had lots of personal experience with the whole scene. The tour mostly went up Park but that seemed appropriate as there were lots of movies shot along there.
The much younger kids on the tour got bored, the less interested spouses were entertained and the devoted were in heaven.
I would have given a higher ranking but a lot of the humour the guide used was cringe-worthy. Sort of Mel Brooks era sexist.

I did this tour with my comic obsessed 21yr old son the guy taking us round was very interesting and there was just about the right mix of comic/other info so it wasn't boring for the non comic geeks
There were 6 in our group which was great so we could hear everything
My son was impressed with the comic book facts he gave us
Good value
