Poll: Best superhero flick?

[Krieg]

#1 = LoEG

no question!

 

[Joker]

I think I know the reason why Rustam created a new profile. I too would be very ashamed about posting that .

Indeed. In fact, to this day it still remains one of the highest-grossing films ever. I remember vividly how big of a deal Batman was when it was first released. Everybody was talking about how cool it was.

Even though I've changed my position from several months back and now consider Batman Begins to be the better movie, there are still a few things about Burton's Batman that I like more:

- Jack Nicholson as the Joker ("Do I look like I'm joking?").
- Set and costume design.
- The wonderful score by Danny Elfman (much like how I've always associated the Man of Steel with John William's Superman score , I still associate Gotham's Dark Knight with Elfman's Batman score)
- Michael Keaton as Batman (I don't know why, but I just can't get behind Christian Bale as Batman)

My wife and I went to see it and a lot of folks had brought kids to see it since they expected it to be a laugh like the 60s batman TV show and it had Michael Keaton! There was constant talking, laughing at nothing, kids running around... then, the hand buzzer scene. By the time that Joker let go of that guy's hand the theater was silent. Folks laughed at the actual funny bits but they paid attention to the movie and Batman was very cool again.

Unbreakable, hands down. One of my favorite films of all time, too.

Edit: Since so many people agree with me, I decided to pull rank and edit it in as a poll option.

X-Men (the first) is my choice. A movie I truly enjoyed, much to my surprise (a pleasant surprise, to be sure).

The Incredibles are a very close second.

I have not seen Unbreakable. I did not know about the movie's existence until I read this thread.

I voted for Batman Begins. I really liked the way they handled the theme and some of the horror scenes. It also had a good plot, good acting, and good set design.

Could you move my vote to there from other?

Hmm, can we say abuse of privilege?

You want a poll which includes Unbreakable as a choice, start one. I don't really consider it a superhero movie. Others can disagree. They can also start polls.

You're right; I apologize. I'll edit it back out.

Edit: Or should I say, I would edit it out if I could. Not an option, unfortunately.

Please chalk my momentary lapse of judgement up to too many long nights with my one-week-old. Friends shouldn't let friends surf the web while sleep-deprived.

Not a problem. I'm downright unbearable when lacking sleep myself.
