I think we have finally found the balance with seriousness and comic book style in this film. To compare it to Batman, I would call it a cross between Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan. I never really supported Nolan's films but fans always said his were better because they were more serious. I always argued that they didn't have the style and aesthetics of a comic book film. I was not sure it was possible to appease both sides. Winter Soldier did that.

All of the actors do a fantastic job. Robert Redford is a surprisingly evil **** and Anthony Mackie does a great job as the Falcon. Samuel L Jackson turns on boss mode. Sebastian Stan is the terminator. Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansen whoop ass all day long. And we have at least three more (geez, that's 8) to mention--Frank Grillo, Emily Van Camp, and Georges St. Pierre. Heck, even the Russos themselves are in the film and do OK with their roles! Great film. No question. 10/10!
