I have a strong appreciation for Unbreakable, but I don’t know if I would place it above the Dark Knight. Something that no one ever talks about are the performances by Aaron Carter and Gary Oldman, especially near the end of the movie. They were absolutely stunning. Also, X2 should be much higher on the list. Definitely above Spider-Man 2 and Iron Man. I feel Iron Man is over-rated. Also, I think Captain America: The First Avenger probably deserves a place on this list.

I liked most of the choices in the list except for Blade. I’d put X-men and Watchmen in place of Blade and the Incredibles. Superman would be my first place on the list. Followed by DK. Unbreakable good as it is, I not sure I would include it as I didn’t know what it was. I’m still not sure what it was about. Comic book obsession psychosis due to a screwed up childhood? It’s well known that Shymalyan was doing Rod Serling i.e. Planet of the Apes, Twilight Zone twist endings for most all his movies. So basically thrillers with a twist or two. Probably I would include Burton’s Batman on the list somewhere.

Dark Knight Returns, seriously? Anybody who thinks its a better movie than Batman begins wasn’t watching properly. It has all the flaws of sequels (rehashing plot and stunt elements, over-long, inconsistency of character), and it wouldn’t deserve a place on the list if it weren’t for the inclusion of Superman II (2nd best superhero movie, its not even the 2nd best Batman movie). Unbreakable is an interesting choice, probably not my no.1 but yes it competes for that position.

I like my villains to have almost more depth than the the heroes. They have their reasons for doing what they do just as much as the good guys and it makes the stories more engaging.

Just wondering if the Matrix (first one) would be considered a superhero movie, I still find that if it comes on TV I’ll watch it and it seems to have stood up well for over ten years.

Unreakable is great, it is a superhero suspense movie which I find more interesting (kinda like Unforgiven as a western movie was)

Watchmen should have made the list though it is almost a Neo-Noir hero movie…its dark and shows the human aspects of the heroes more than most.

Mystery Men is another i can watch over and over, its funny but has just enough failure on the part of the protagonists to give them character and make it interesting thought its more of a SNL type of plot.

The original “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”, and “Sin City” are great. The first ninja turtles film had a lot of hints to the comics and wasn’t as “kid friendly” as the cartoon. Also, Punisher War Zone is one of the best bad/good movies ever made. When people ask me about it, I tell them “Think of a slasher film with the killer as the protagonist.”

Lastly, Dark Knight gets all the praise, but my favorite comic book move that year was “The Incredible Hulk”. I don’t care what anyone says. It was the most entertaining to me. Punisher: WZ in a close 2nd. Iron Man in 3rd because it was so much fun, and Dark Knight in dead last. Too long, pretentious, over-rated, over-hyped due to Ledger’s death, and Bale’s Batman voice makes me wanna stab myself in the ears. Burton’s Batman will always be my favorite, and as far as I’m concerned, Keaton IS Batman.

The Dark Knight was terrible. Heath Ledger was good but he was just working the suit, anyone with a modicum of talent could have done it, Heath’s just been deified because of his death. The Batman “voice” that Christian Bale uses just takes me out of any scene where Batman speaks. The Perils of Pauline type bullcrap with Harvey Dent and Maggie Gyllenhal (I can’t even remember the character’s name she was so nothing) was ridiculous, and anyone who didn’t see the reappearance of Lt. Gordon after his “death” was a moron. Michael Caine phoned it in for this one and I really don’t think he wants to be in these movies anymore. I would trade Spiderman (the first one) for this movie on the list either that or Mystery Men.

@ Andrew

I’ve read quite a few Batman comics myself, and I always got the impression that he was a detective, not a ninja. After all, he appeared in Detective Comics.

To me the ninja “take” on Batman in Batman Begins wasn’t a “take” at all. Since I’m into the comic book, I knew that Bruce Wayne basically was/is a freakin ninja (Just not the part where he is trained by a guy who turns out to basically be Ra’s Al Ghul
