Best Comic Book Adaptation Ever

[rbd3000]

With all this talk about Iron Man being the best ever the last few days I thought I would make a poll and put it to a vote. I've included all that I thought might be considered but I added a other option at the end just in case I left your favorite out. Obviously there are still two big Comic book movies still coming out this summer but since we haven't seen those yet, they are not included (because I know someone out there already thinks The Dark Knight is the best ever, even without seeing it).

What about The Matrix, or Blade, or Dragon Tiger Gate.

I voted for Superman: The Movie. In my opinion no other comic book movie has captured the essence of the comic book quite as well. It was larger than life with great comic banter and focused on what makes all comic books great, the characters.

From Hell! One of the best books I've ever read, and a near perfect transition to film.

30 days of night was a very faithful adaptation of a graphic novel.

I'm thinking of voting for 300, but I'll wait and weigh my options first.

[Kevinbsiemens]

Spiderman. Then I'd say Batman

The Matrix was never a comic book. It was an original story from the Wachowski's. But it's still Batman Begins to me.

[Marine Mike]

I will have to say Sin City and then Batman Begins.

[DarchAmonNagar]

Sin City hands down is the best adaptation.

[DarchAmonNagar]

I would not say its my favourite film from the list but in my eyes its the best adaptation of a graphic novel.

[Homura]

300 and Sin City are pretty darn close adaptations!

As I understood it, it was an adaptation of Ghost in the Shell, which was a manga. Supposedly there was also something about a TV show from 1993 that was called Matrix.

The Wachowski brothers, makers of the Matrix trilogy, acknowledged the influence of Ghost in the Shell in an interview

[Damon1281]

Iron Man for the win.

[BladeRunner2007]

Can't decide between Sin City & Watchmen. Both are perfect adaptions. Both are 10/10 movies.

People in 2008 really thought Iron Man was the best comic book film ever? Bruh.

It was released a few week before this poll was made and TDK didn't come out so yeah it's reasonable.

In 18th July 2008, the greatest film and contribution to the comic book genre in any form of medium was released.

Reasonable? Pfffft! Not when Batman Returns exists.

Batman Returns is better than Iron Man, i'll give you that but it's not better than Hulk, Begins or even Batman 89 in any way, shape or form in my opinion.

Still The Dark Knight for me and i doubt that will ever change.

[Batman1980]

Tie between Batman and Batman Returns for me on this poll. The Snyder trilogy is the all-time best for me, though.

Recency bias in action.

I remember walking out of the theater in 2008 thinking it was alright, if pretty derivative of Batman Begins and just kind of mundane and average. And to think, that was the epitome of the MCU being edgy.
