It's 2005 when the superhero boom has really hit its stride with the success of Singer's X-Men, Raimi's Spider-man, & soon Nolan's Dark Night trilogies. Amongst others.

It effortlessly balances the disperate tones of superhero stories centred on a hero he believes in the good his silly hobby more than his day job.
