.... Does the camera ever pan lovingly over Hugh Jackman's ripped and strong and sweaty shoulders? It doesn't.
When the camera showed Batman's latex ass in "Batman 4" it was mocked for years. When the camera gets all sorts of closeups of Catwoman's, Elektra's, Lara Crofts, Halle Berry in that Bond flick, chick from Underworld, Sue Storm's asses it's business as usual.
I didn't consider Kill Bill (I totally hated that flick, didn't see 2).
Jackman certainly does get the linger treatment, possibly a gay director has something to do with this in the first X-Men film at least but Stephen Sommers lingered a lot on Jackman and Well Kemp in Van Helsing and his marital status would not seem to indicate any particular interest.
Having recently seen Blade 3 the man flesh is lingered on a lot more than the female flesh in that film.
Zack Snyder is also married to a lady of the opposite sex and 300 is often sent up as being homoerotic on an scale more epic than the other aspects of the film.
Halle Berry's Catwoman was the object of ridicule for many reason, including the costume making her look more like a particular form of dancer than a super-anti-heroine.
Bond (unless it's Moore in his later years) usually gets a great deal of attention on screen arguably as much as the girls (only there is one Bond per film and more girls). In Casino Royale Daniel Craig's body gets much more screen attention than Eva Green's.
