The films Spider-Man and Fantastic Four were tour-de-forces of creativity, both visually and sonically. The superhero franchise is really one of the venues for sound design that can be both fun and challenging due to the character flaws and traits of the protagonist, and the usually insanely busy nature of the story and how it takes the heros from the relatively typical, to the extraordinary.
These stories also typically enjoy a “super-sized” villain with all sorts of fantastic schemes to destroy the hero, or heroes..

GS: In terms of sound design, how did you approach Starcraft II to get the right sound for the game?
RB: Well, we built upon the soundscape that was established in Starcraft, so we do consider the sound for Starcraft II evolutionary rather than revolutionary. So that meant continued use of mechanical sounds. We recorded an endless number of small contraptions. There were large machines; there are sounds made from electronics and synthesizers; and of course with the zerg, there were a lot of fairly gross sounds that came from our various concoctions of flour, water, salt, and goop…and a lot of unmentionable stuff that made our studio a challenge to clean up afterward.
