Iron Man replaces Batman Begins as the best comic film adaptation?

I'm surprised that BB is getting so much hate. It's a more ambitious, epic story than IM. The hero has better character development, as we see his motivation stem from his trauma as a child to his discipline and convictions as an adult. The villain Scarecrow was more developed, engaging and mysterious than Bridges' bad guy in IM. The politics of BB were more interesting. The overall story of BB was more believable (not that it matters much for a comic book movie, but Nolan did an amazing job). IM was a more traditional Hollywood effort that relied more on cliches. I found myself enjoying it a lot, but it is not as good as BB.

I think those of you saying IM has more "replay" value than BB will find yourself rapidly getting tired of it while finding new things to discover in BB on each repeat viewing (if you haven't seen it many times already). There's just more to the story and characters in BB.
