It gets death rites alone....anybody remember how stunning this movie was when it first hit the theaters?
Alot of groundbreaking work went into it considering the title character had only a little workable screen time before he died.
This movie was also profound because the comic was based on a true story.

Kind of, loosely, symbolically.

I'll go with the Crow too, if only that aside from a few minor dialogue issues it stayed relatively faithful to the source material.

Spiderman 2 by a mile. Batman Begins was too chromy and devoid of heart, plus squandered a mythosshaking villain. They trotted out Batman's Fu Manchu and did nothing interesting with him. Yeah, Ra's Al Ghul will fill the city with fear gas...oooh, boogedy boogedy. Lame. Christopher Reeve as Clark is really something Gene Hackman as Lex is a laugh. But, it's long on Americana and short on superheroism. Spiderman 2 was cowritten by one of my favorite novelists, one of the only guys on the bestseller list I'll read, Michael Chabon and boasts a great performance from Alfred Molina. It's heartfelt, fun and it's just good cinema. If I want to see the Man of Steel, I'll see Superman 2 and if I want to see Peter Parker, I'll watch Spiderman 2. Oh, and if I want to see Batman, I'll watch the Dark Knight. Also, Hellboy 2 and Warzone were better than their first entries. Two is the magic number for comic movies. Spiderman 2. Peace out.

As much as I like the other two, Spiderman 2 had the most heart. Spiderman 2 upped the ante for superhero movies when it came to story, emotional content and artistic vision. As much as Batman paved the way, it was as shallow as most Burton projects and had nothing really going for it except Jack Nicholson as the fedora'ed gangster sociopath the Joker was in his first few appearances and that doesn't hold as much water as a Pulitzer prize winner helping to bring a superhero story that isn't just about action to life.

I really hope Preacher ends up as an original series for HBO. There's no way they could make a stand alone movie and not ruin the story due to length.

Anyway, since Batman ousted Conan while I wasn't watching, Watchmen shall have vengeance for me.

AKKKK - three of my favourites!

I think I have to go with Adam West. All three are amazing examples of the genre, but this version of Batty-Boy has to be one of the most gun-wrenchingly hilarious movies that I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Not a dull moment: pure, unadulterated entertainment from beginning to end.

Sin City was a huge achievement, and Downey Jr.'s Iron Man is one of my favourite superhero performances...but in terms of sheer watchabilty, I'd be more apt to grab Batman any day of the week. Besides, the other choices are severely lacking in shark repellent:
