What are the instances where a comic book movie made a change to an element of the source material that you felt was an improvement?
Things that come to mind:
Batman (1989): The portrayal of Gotham as this otherworldly Gothic city with elements of German Expressionism is way more interesting than comics Gotham (which was depicted as a normal city at the time).
Batman Returns (1992): Catwoman’s origin is so much more symbolically tragic and haunting than many of the comics versions.
Spider-Man Homecoming (2017): The Vulture being changed into a Walter White-esque character in terms of motivation with a tech suit made from the alien scraps leftover from the Battle Of New York.
Superman (1978): Turning Krypton into a ice planet, I thought, was a great idea and much superior to what the comics had depicted until then.
Batman Begins (2005): The portrayal of Bruce Wayne, and his origin I thought was more psychologically credible & fleshed out than what many comics had done up to that point.
The Dark Knight (2008): The Joker just having war paint; and the scars instead of falling in a vat of chemicals.
Spider-Man (2002): Uncle Ben getting killed in a car jacking with Peter being there during his last moments is much better than Ben dying in a home invasion with Peter not being present.
Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017): Ego being Peter Quill’s father is way more interesting to me than him being the son of J’son.
