 WOKJ Top 10 comic book adaptations - List unveiled!
FULL LIST:http://www.worldofkj.com/article.php?i=711_____________________________________________________________________________ Dear fellow posters, as this year is shaping up to be one of the biggest ever for comic book fans with The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises and The Amazing Spider-Man hitting the screens, I would like for WOKJ to assemble (pun intended) its own Top 10 oif the best comic book adaptations ever made. The procedure is simple. I request everyone to compile their own Top 10. The #1 movie will be given 10 points, the #2 movie 9 points and so on. Just PM me the Top 10 list until Monday, April 30th and I will compile them and make a front page article out of it. All kinds of comic book or graphic novel adaptations are eligible, from Spider-Man over Road to Perdition all the way to Ghost World. It should take just a few minutes for everyone to combine their own list and I would appreciate as many participants as possible. For a pretty good list of comic book adaptations, check this out: http://boxofficemojo.com/genres/chart/? ... tation.htm

My opinion on those two have really soured over the years and he really didn't capture the comic book as well as Nolan did.

He means no one will vote for Batman Forever or Batman & Robin.

I didn't see CRUMB, but it's sooooo much better than the overrated BAD SANTA it's not even funny.
