Aside from not being super?  I have some, albeit limited, knowledge of
The Spirit.  My take is that he's not into the acrobatics that seem to
be prevalent in the trailer.  Although he's an action hero it's more
fisticuffs and bang-bang, a bit of intrigue and mystery.  A lot of
understated humor in reflecting human behavior.

But then, that's just my take.
