Alternate Choices for Best Comic Movie


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

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.

 

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.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
