I've run into the same problem.

I used to read hundreds and hundreds of comics when I was younger (in the 8-14 range) because my father used to collect them. He stopped in the late 80s, so most of what I read was from the 60s to 80s, and it was an eclectic collection with missing issues and abrupt stops when my father switched favorite characters. I had a lot of fun with them, but never got involved in a fandom.

Since Batman Begins, I've had sporadic obsessions with comics and their fandoms (Batman, X-Men, and now Avengers), but because people tend to notice that a) I'm "new" ever since a movie came out, and b) I don't know that much about what's happened in comics recently, they look down on me. Funny thing is, I HAVE read the "original canon", and for years I read it. It's just that because comicverses tend to be so vast and are generally much older than most people currently involved in their fandoms, it's not exactly easy to "know everything" or even necessarily be "an expert".

The movies are great gateways to the fandom. If someone sees one and is really interested, then it's an opportunity for them to start reading the comics if they want to.

I think people who HAVE been in the fandom for a long time need to realize that it isn't exactly...easy to jump into though, and try to cut the newer fans some slack. Maybe even help them along by suggesting certain series, arcs, or issues for them to consider. Meanwhile people who haven't read the comics (yet?) shouldn't pretend to know everything.

Edit* typo.
