Penny Holland wrote an interesting book on this subject, 'We Don't Play With Guns Here: War, Weapon and Superhero Play in the Early Years' (OUP).

The DCSF also released a paper on how boys play differently to girls last year, which may be worth looking at: 'Confident, capable and creative: supporting boys' achievements: Guidance for practitioners in the Early Years Foundation Stage' is at www.standards.dcsf.gov.uk.

Searching on 'superhero' in the archive on this site also brings up lots of background information.
