Alternate Choices for Best Comic Movie

[Mr. Scot]

These days if you ask people to name the best comic book movie they've seen, you're likely to get one of two answers:

 

1) The Avengers

 

2) The Dark Knight

 

I'm wondering how many folks on here would name something other than one of those two as their top choice, or could at least name some alternate contenders.

The one with Jack Nicholson as the Joker

 

Jack Nicholson didn't play The Joker.  He put on white makeup and played himself (like he does in every movie, minus the makeup).

 

Heath Ledger played the Joker.

Why did that old Prince Batman music video pop in my head?

Heath Ledger played the Joker.

 

He played a great Joker for 198...whatever it was. The Joker is kind of Nicholson embodied.

 

Maybe you are too young to remember that this was a watershed movie ;)

Really difficult not to pick the Avengers regardless of the thread's stipulations. It totally changed the way superhero movies are now though of, both in development and by the public. It also rescued us from hoard after of hoard of "gritty, realistic" attempts at comic movies which is ultimately saving the genre.

That said, there are other great ones out there.
