The Latest, Greatest & Lamest Comic Book Movies

2. Batman Begins (2005) / The Dark Knight (2008)

Christopher Nolan tells the Batman story as if it's not just a comic book story, but something grounded in reality, and inhabited by characters who deserve being developed. We, the audience, are thankful for a filmmaker with vision who actually wants to give us smart popcorn entertainment. Christian Bale is fantastic as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Heath Ledger was absolutely unforgettable as The Joker, and the rest of the team is perfect on down the line, from the tech credits to the high-powered cast, including Michael Caine as the definitive Alfred, Gary Oldman as a recognizably human and decent Lt. Gordon, and Morgan Freeman lending charm and gravitas as mentor Lucius Fox.

    I'm sticking with the girl power and saying Halle Berry's Catwoman is my favorite. That girl just wouldn't die! am definitely excited to what they've done with the Thor story, and am impressed that 300 was in there with Superheroes. Awesome.
