Best and Worst comic Book Franchises

[The Overlord]

What are the Best and Worst comic Book Franchises?

By that I mean which comic book franchises have produced the most good movies and which ones have produced the most bad movies?

 

[Sam Fisher]

Best: Spider-man
Worst: Blade

 

[The Overlord]

Best: Spider-man
Worst: Blade

Come on Blade wasn't that bad, Fantastic Four and Punisher were worse films franchises then blade.

But to give you props, Blade III was so bad it drags down the whole franchise.

 

[Mister J]

Batman
Spider-Man
X-Men
Superman
Hellboy
Hulk
Blade
Daredevil
Fantastic Four
Punisher

That's a rough listing of where I'd rank the varied franchises. I primarily went off how many good/great movies I felt were in the franchise and took points off if the franchise gave life to a real stinker.

I went with Batman at number one because no other property had three standout movies (B'89, BB, TDK). Granted, B&R was abominable, but BR and BF are worthwhile, notably the former. If I were more inclined to S-M3 or X3, it might have been different. Eh.

All three Blade movies were terrible. The FF movies are actually enjoyable.

Does Hellboy count for anything..? Or are we only talking Marvel/DC?

 

[[A]]

No, it counts. It's the misc comics films forum, so..

 

[Hound55]

Alright... I'll go:
Bats
*Daylight*
Hellboy
*Daylight*
X-Men (under the assumption that Wolverine comes under a separate franchise)
Spider-Man
*Daylight*
Hulk
Superman
*Daylight*
Fantastic Four
Blade
Punisher (I'm sorry Thomas Jane!)

 

[El Payaso]

It counts in my worsts list.

 

[RogueDK]

Best: Batman

Worst: Fantastic Four including the 1994 one. (I enjoyed them but the replay value has lessened its impact...especially '94's. )

 

[The Joker]

Best:Batman. Why
-Batman 89
-Batman Returns
-Batman Forever
-Batman The Mask of the Phantasm
-The Dark Knight

Agreed.

[The Overlord]

Best : Batman

Well we are talking about which franchises have done better, rather which films within a franchise have done better.

Though I could start another thread about the best and worst movies within a franchise.

 

[Eldarion]

Batman Nolanverse
Avenger franchise (Iron Man, Incredible Hulk)
Spider-Man
X-Men
Hellboy
Batman (Burton and Schumacher)
Blade

Never saw FF, Daredevil and the others (Gost Rider, ...). I might give the reboots a chance.

All three Blade movies were terrible. The FF movies are actually enjoyable.

Blade and Blade II are far superior movies to the muted, half-assed FF movies. The Blade movies elevate the source material and make it better. No quation, Blade is a better character in the movies than in the comics. In comparison, the FF movies are possibly the biggest waste of source material ever.
