    On June 9, 1995, Batman Forever introduced audiences to what was likely the first CGI stunt double.
    In a few brief shots, a digital double lept from tall buildings and swung on a grappling hook, and was used to convince viewers that Bruce Wayne was more “super” than the average man. Since then, superheroes and digidoubles have gone hand in hand. Protagonists in superhero films often wear masks or skin-tight bodysuits, which makes them perfect candidates for digital replacement; fabric is way easier to replicate digitally than skin.
    Technology has only improved over the years, which means digidoubles are used for so much more than just “super” sequences. Today, digidoubles are used to give filmmakers and artists flexibility. Instead of being locked into what they’re able to shoot during principal photography, they can add and remove shots, completely change characters' costumes, and rewrite the script if they need to - long after filming is over.
    The video above breaks down some surprising uses of digidoubles in superhero movies - and shows just how often they appear in modern movies.
    Correction: At 6:18, we mistakenly labeled Avengers: Infinity War as Avengers: Endgame.

      The human brain is really good at picking up what motions are possible in the real world and which ones aren't. A lot of the "superhero" animations look cartoony as a result, to the detriment of suspension of disbelief. It's one of the many things that put me off Marvel films. The Batman was a breath of fresh air in that sense, and it helps that Robert Pattinson is the first "modern" batman to not look completely jacked-- he's actually a believable Bruce Wayne.

      You mean to say actors should be paid LESS than animators. It requires several animators to produce a single character in a movie - so they would all have to be paid millions of $ for a single show. Not gonna happen. You don't understand the basics of economics. There is only 1 Tom Holland, but there are thousands of potential animators that could move his digital double around. Tom Holland is scarce, but animators are not.

    This video is the pinnacle of laziness on the part of directors/producers of superhero movies. They get to set with a half-baked vision of how they want the scene to play out, and then completely change their minds and make the VFX artists recreate and replace everything when the director changes their mind. In the early days of VFX, directors had to be incredibly cautious about how and what VFX they were going to use, and planned out frame by frame exactly what to capture on set. Now every superhero movie is 95% green screen shots, and it really shows. That's why Jurassic Park holds up way better than the new Jurassic World movies. It's no surprise as to why Marvel movies cost $100 million dollars to make. Paying for a dozen VFX studios and thousands and thousands of VFX artists to do the work directors are too lazy to do themselves costs a lot of money.

      A lot of talks about "vision" lately. All directors have some sort of creative vision. Without it none of the vfx shots would play out as planned. Vfx artist needs something to work on the dont create tandom stuff out of thin air to make a movie. Its seems as if you havent watched the video properly enough when there was multiple mentions of directors using vfx shots to recreate the exact scene as they want even at the end stage of production. And its not just about money. Compare the budget of Captain America Civil war and Batman v superman both at 250 mil. But one has 4 times the success than the other one.
