Pier Six Brawler Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Been watching a lot of these lately. My pick would still go to the 1978 Superman movie, pretty much the genre-defining film. The Dark Knight is very good but not a classic IMO. Watchmen was a great comic but too much of its ideas had been used elsewhere in the 23 years beween that and the movie being released for it to have the same kind of impact. The 1989 Batman movie, which I thought was great at the time, really hasn't aged well at all, a major case of style over substance. Â Edit: I just spent time doing a poll, why the hell hasn't it come up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 1, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 It's Superman 2. All other answers are wrong. Â The 1989 Batman is still great and has aged very little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 1, 2011 Moderators Share Posted December 1, 2011 Yeah, what the shit? Why isn't Superman 2 on that list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pier Six Brawler Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 I put SuperMan II in the poll but I had to take it out because it only lets you pick 10. It is very good. In some ways that and the first Superman are really a 2 part film, rather than 2 seperate ones, with most of the first movie being the origin and establishing the character. Â I still say the Tim Burton Batman is pretty rubbish. The sequel was better but that wasn't too good either in retropsect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted December 1, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 No superheroes in the Dark Knight... just a man. A flawed man. But it's the best film on that list, and I hate "other"... Superman II is some sort of omission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members martyngnr Posted December 1, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 It's the 1989 Batman for me. As someone who has a general dislike for Tim Burton I absolutely love that film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Â I don't like having to vote other but when I saw the thread my instant thought was Superman 2, and seeing as when I clicked it I saw how Gladstone had said what I was thinking I had to do it. Â To pick my favourite from the list though, I'd go with either Tim Burton Batman, or Iron Man... tough call between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Another one for Superman 2. A fantastic family film. Yep, stick me down for this too. And that the reason why it is the best, it was made for families, not fanboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I disagree with the OP's poll choices particularly X-Men, Spider Man and The Incredible Hulk. X2 was much better than X-Men and I'm not a fan of any Spider-Man films. There is one superhero film which needs more love than it gets and that's The Crow. Big fan of that film.
