Batman is sexy

Two questions

1. Which comic series has the best tv and/or movie adaptation?

2. Which comic series is better

IMO Marvel gets the up for both  despite Superman being a killer. So what do you guys and gals think?

Wow...this is a hard call.

1) Tie, for me, though only as of last year.? Spiderman (and Spidey 2) WAS, until last year, the single best adaptation EVER of a comic, IHMO, followed closely by X2.? Last year, though, Batman Begins tied things up.? I'm a real Batman fan (comics) and that movie was just awesome...despite Katie Holmes best efforts to derail it. Smiley? That being said, Spidey 3 looks KILLER.? And FYI...I've seen some preliminarly early screener reviews of Superman.? I wouldn't get your hopes too high yet.? I'll reserve judgement til I see it.

2) DC's Batman books are still, for me, the best books out there.? I wish they'd stop all the crossover/mega-event bullshit with the DC U, for sure.? But I still think that the canon Batbooks consistently outshine just about ever series out there.? That being said...they're pretty much the ONLY DC books that I really enjoy nowadays, while there are a number of Marvel books I like (the X titles, most of the Ultimate titles, the canon Spidey titles just to name a few).

Gotta go with Marvel, sorry.

Although I will say that Batman Begins was a GREAT film.  And I'm hoping Superman Returns is a good one, too.

The thing about Marvel that I always liked was, they placed their characters in 'real' locations.  (As opposed to Metropolis / Gotham).  There's just something cool to me about Spidey being able to hang out on the Empire State Building, for instance.

Being in NYC week before last, I would actually look up and go "Ok, I can visualize this.. a guy swinging from building to building" - like, it 'made sense', if that makes sense.  I dunno, Superman has always seemed just a bit too surreal for me.  In addition, although I like Batman - its always irked me the guy has no 'powers'.  Guess I like my superheros to be, well, superpowered Smiley

Marvel doesn't suckand DC sucks, it's pretty easy to tell the difference, put your ear up to the comic if you hear a sucking sounds, put it back and grab the other one.

Marvel is better all around...

I read a lot of Marvel Comics: Young Avengers, Hulk, New Avengers, Ultimate X-men, Ultimate Spider-man, Ultimate Fantastic Four, Astonishing X-men, X-men, New X-men, Sensational Spider-man, X-factor, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man, Amazing Spider-man, Wolverine, Wolverine Origins, etc...
The only DC I read are: Justice, All-Star Batman & Robin, All-star Superman & Supergirl...


Marvel movies are better... Don't get me wrong, I love Batman, Batman Returns & Batman Begins but Spider-man, X-men & Daredevil are better, in my opinion... Superman is mediocre; Superman 2 is pretty good; the other Superman movies are garbage as well as Batman Forever & Batman and Robin... But Hulk, The Punisher & Blade are really good... Blade 2 & Blade Trinity are all right... Elektra isn't too good...

So, all together, Marvel is better

1. Marvel had the edge on this one ( Spideys were excellent), but Batman Begins and the upcoming Superman Returns look like they might even the score.

2. It's been DC for me since i was 11..not because the stories have always been great, but because the characters have history behind them...marvel unquestionably had better writers for most of the 90s, but i think with DC is  reestablisihing itself with excellent as the frontrunner with writers like Geoff Johns. Infinite Crisis was the most enjoyable thing I read in years, and the One Year Later Batman and Superman stories have been excellent.

1) I love the Superman and Batman movies, so the answer is DC. Although I do love the X-Men movies too.

2) I can't really call myself a comic book fan but I do enjoy Superman comics.

Overall, my favorite super-hero is Superman.

Oh God...the All Star Batman and Robin is an abortion.  Miller has so completely fucked up what SOUNDED like a good concept, it's insane.  Never mind the fact the fuck can't get an issue out on time to save his life.

AICN has a review up that I swear I could have written:

http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=23430#5

For me, that pretty much sums it up.

Miller's last Batman project sucked too (IMHO)...and was late.  I wonder when/if DC is just gonna give up on him.

I'm glad you're enjoying it though.  I'll stick to the canon bat titles now....I had them pull ASBR from my "list".  I just can't read it anymore...too painful for me.
