Yeah you can bash DC all you want for no DC Universe like Marvel. But please list me some hardcore dark movies that Marvel Studios/Disney has produced.

The only dark and gritty films form Marvel are Blade and Punisher, which you will never see those again in that form.

JoeMomma29 - 9/13/2013, 7:44 PM
@ PantherX

Never said a dark movie makes a great one. But DC properties are more darker and have an adult feel to them. Do not get me wrong I enjoy Marvel films very much but they are aimed for general audiences etc....

I thing the Dark Knight Trilogy, MOS, Watchmen, V, and Road to Perdition standout.

And sorry but The Dark Knight Trilogy still stand as the greatest CBM Trilogy out there. It may or should be dethroned by Avengers unless Marvel does something really stupid.

@JoeMomma

I listed Supergirl under 'Superman Spinoff'

I listed Catwoman under 'Batman Spinoff'

As I stated in my original post, I was listing movies in the main DC and Marvel comic universe. Could you please explain to me where Watchmen fits in the main DC universe?


As I stated in my original post, I was listing movies in the main DC and Marvel comic universe. Could you please explain to me where RED fits in the main DC universe?

Stardust is not a DC property, it is simply a comic distributed by DC, similar to Kick-Ass with Marvel.


Road to Perdition is not a DC property, it is simply a comic distributed by DC, similar to Kick-Ass with Marvel.

A History of Violence is not a DC property, it is simply a comic distributed by DC, similar to Kick-Ass with Marvel.


LXG is not a DC property, it is simply a comic distributed by DC, similar to Kick-Ass with Marvel.

I was unaware they made 2 Green Lantern movies. Other than the one I listed in my original statement, could you please explain what the other you're referring to was?

Swamp Thing was a made for TV movie, you'll have to forgive me for not including it, just like the Incredible Hulk movies from the 80's.

I missed Steel. You got me there. You can go ahead and add one more 'Superman Spinoff' to the list.

@JoeMomma

That's great and everything, but I'm talking about movies, not graphic novels. DC had no involvement in movies such as LXG, History of Violence, and Road to Perdition. At best they received a small royalties check, but that's unlikely as they aren't their intellectual properties.

Im sorry guys but TDKR killed the opportunity for TDK trilogy to be a legendary trilogy. I think they ended it about as horribly as possible and I’m still disappointed in the Nolan brothers for that lackluster attempt at a Batman movie. People are complaining about the changes to IM3 when TDKR are guilty of the exact same problems if not more so.
Havenless
Havenless - 9/13/2013, 8:45 PM
@2Challa

I don't think it was THAT bad, but I do agree it left the door open for another trilogy to someday surpass it.

Batman is a grounded hero, especially in the Nolanverse. When you start introducing things like Nuclear bombs, Presidential intervention, and a rollout of the US army... it takes the mystique out of a Batman film. It's okay to be bigger than Gotham, but they went straight into 9/11 with that one.

It was a good movie, and the trilogy was Very Good - Great - Good, which is beatable. If it had been Very Good - Great - Very Good like the original Star Wars Trilogy, then we're talking unbeatable.

@BlackJack 10

@Havenless for anybody else, sure I would lighten up. But for somebody that trolled an article with nothing related to DC,

Every single one of my comments has been related to DC. Are you sure this is directed at me?

then inspired the rest of the trolls to troll, then basically create the first appearance of Yaboi, no.

I don't know what this means. I created Yaboi? Another user?

Do as Louie says.

Who is Louie? That guy in your flagged comment?

FYI, all the Nolan films are better films than almost all of Marvel's movies (The Avengers is better than BB).

You consider your opinions as fact, and I'm the troll?

Stop hating blatantly.

What am I hating? Because I disliked the Green Lantern movie I am a troll? Since you're not a DC troll, does that mean you're required to love the Green Lantern movie? I didn't like it, sorry if your opinion/fact does not line up with mine.

And it's kinda funny how you have to compare Marvel to DC when talking about how great it is, almost as if DC is a great film studios and Marvel has to outshine them to be great.

DC doesn't even have its own film studio. I'm not sure where you're going with this... I only compare them because comparing Marvel to Dark Horse or Top Cow would be a slaughter.

IDK, that's what I observe, but coming from a guy who supposedly hates DC, you sure talk more about them then Marvel.

I don't hate DC, you're the only one saying that. 'Supposedly', where you just made that up.

My biggest problems with TDKR was the portrayal of Bruce Waynes desire to protect his city from the same crime that took his parents. I don’t like how he quit for 8 years like just because of organized crime being reduced doesn’t mean that regular street crime has vanished completely. Bruce Wayne supposedly stayed in his house and moped around with nothing better to do. He lost his girlfriend and then forgot why he traveled to globe for years training to become the Bat.

Batman (like Ironman) was in the movie for a minimal amount of time. He hasn’t worked out for almost a decade with multiple injuries. Yet somehow he gets a knee brace and manages to comeback from a broken back to fight fiercer than ha has in all of the movies.

The GCPD was the most inept police department ever shown on film. They send every cop after Batman during the robbery escape instead of splitting into smaller groups and taking down their principle target. They send every cop underground at once only to be trapped for months on end. Then they line up revolutionary war style and attack Banes troops head on.

This movie takes place over several months but the pacing of the movie makes it seem no more than a couple of weeks. Anyway I could go on forever with what I think was wrong with this movie but my main problem is that TDK is one of my favorite movies of all time and this followup is a serious spit in the face of the genius of its predecessor.

@2Challa

I didn't mind him taking 8 years off, humans are fallible.

I had a problem with him not working out for 8 years or putting any weight on that injured leg, then throwing on a leg brace and turning into a powerhouse again. He literally kicked through a brick wall the second he put on the brace. With the leg that has been limp for NINETY-SIX MONTHS

So I see everyone is excited about the return of Blackhand to the pages of Green Lantern then. That's great.

Now I'm going to use this space to comment on what I believe is one of the greatest internet rivalries in history. That's right, the waste management administration in Duval county (Northern Florida) versus waste management administration in Dade County (Southern Florida). You may want to get a snack cause this is gonna be a while. Now this is a rivalry that dates back to the 1940's. I'm sure most of you are familiar with the key pieces of legislation during that time that helped this rivalry spark into a flame. But I would be remiss if I didn't mention some of these. So Article 44 Sub-section 2 parts C-F of the amendment of the South Florida Treatise on water treatment that went before Miami City Hall (obviously this is before there was a differentiation between Miami and "Greater Miami") in 1942 is a great place to start. Let's break this one down by the individual sub-sections shall we? ...

Thats the thing Batman of all characters Ive ever read (and Ive read a lot not just comics) is the hardest on himself about being infallible. He works and plans more than everyone because he knows he’s only human but his aspirations are superhuman and he refuses to compromise much like Rorschach. Batman would never just take time off because his feelings were hurt. Thats something a regular human would do but not The Batman.

The fact that JOEMOMMA even included this list is laughable because if we're including all movies based off of comics the Marvel list would be longer too. Besides half of these aren't "Superheroes" and don't exist in the same world as the JL. And I find it pretty funny that he included Catwoman. What a crap movie!

Sorry, I'm a little confused about the "dark" nature of DC movies that JoeMomma wasreferring to. Nolan series and MOS were dark. Granted. Superman Returns and anything of the old Supermans were not dark. Maybe the Batmans directed by Burton were dark but then they got campy when he left. If he's trying to say that DC as a comicbook universe is "darker" than Marvel's, I'll have to disagree. Batman is the only main title they have that is "dark".
JoeMomma29
JoeMomma29 - 9/14/2013, 6:08 AM
@ HailHydra

Yes I listed all of DC movies even if they were pure garbage like Catwoman etc.....

As far as Dark yes DC has dark movies the obvious is the Dark Knight Trilogy and MOS In my opinion was more gritty.

I am personally including V, Watchmen, and Road to Perdition which those films are of a darker nature to it.

Simply put DC may not put out as much movies as Marvel but when they do they are the "put on your big boy pants movie".

Btw Swamp Thing was not made for TV, it was theatrically released and directed by Wes Craven. It even got a sequel "Return of Swamp Thing".
