Only 5?

Gonna have to think about this. So many to choose from.

I'm a bit curious if Joker could possibly count. No superheroes in it, per se, but it does take place in the Batman universe, and does feature a young child Bruce Wayne in there.

I'll allow you to do 10 if you include the Schumacher Batman films.

5 it is then.

1: Batman (1989)
2: Spiderman 2 (2004)
3: Superman (1978)
4: Batman Returns (1992)
5: Superman 2 (1980)

The Shadow is still the greatest superhero movie. Such an underrated character and movie.

To be fair, I need to watch the 4 original Batman movies again. It's been literally decades. I've just bought them all from charity shops, but me and wifey and step-daughter are doing all the Marvel films in order every Friday night, so they'll have to wait their turn.

The fact that I'm so positive about the last two films in the series must fill you with so much dread

I don't remember those last ones much to be honest. I liked the second one with the Penguin best of the four.

That's my least favourite one

I don't know, I've gone off the Burton films a bit. I don't think Returns really holds up that well on closer inspection. The Joel Schumacher films are much easier for me to watch these days. I think there's a nice balance between humour, action and romance in those films. The first two Nolan films are decent crime flicks, but I don't particularly think they're great Batman movies. They also started a trend of really humourless and drab action movies.

Fuck doing just 5.

1. Batman Begins
2. Dark Knight Rises
3. Man of Steel
4. Wonder Woman
5. Doctor Strange
6. Thor: The Dark World
7. Justice League
8. Batman vs Superman
9. Captain America: The First Avenger
10. Spiderman
11. Spiderman 2
12. Spiderman 3
13. X Men
14. X Men 2
15. X-Men: The Last Stand
16 The Dark Night
17. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
18. The Dark Night
19. Batman Returns
20. Marvel Avengers

Still lots on my to watch pile yet.... rest of the X Men movies, some Marvel ones, etc...

I watched it last Christmas and my attention was drifting so much. I've always found Catwoman's attractiveness to be rather overrated. She's no match for Batgirl:



You've got to love that arse, man.

On that point, I agree. But it's not the only thing I look for in a film.

Superman The Movie 1978
Superman 2.
Batman Begins / The Dark Knight / The Dark Knight Returns
Batman 1989
Spiderman (Toby Maguire, 2002). Maguire just seemed perfect for the role. Neither Garfield or Holland have come close.

I'm not saying that's the only thing I look for. I'm young and horny, but I'm not that shallow

I've always been interested in the visual side of thing. I enjoy a good story but the quality of the editing, direction, camerawork, lighting and framing makes or breaks a film or television episode for me. I enjoy them even more if the director has his own distinctive way of directing.

If I don't reply straight away, I'm not being funny.... just waiting for all your sig pics to load.

I'll get rid of two and keep my favourite one.

You picked the best one.
