For those who do NOT rank TDK as your all time favorite CBM, whats ur favorite cbm?

[Mjölnir]

I can't really name one favorite, but The Avengers is probably the best comic book film experience to to what it was and when it came out.

TDK doesn't make my top 10.

 

[vantheman77]

Superman: The Movie.

 

[Steyin]

Batman Begins.

 

[Herofan]

Batman Returns, followed by Spider-Man 2 and Batman Begins.

My top three:

1. Captain America: Civil War (I was stoked to discover that 8 long years after TDK, I could be graced with a new favorite in the genre)
2. The Dark Knight (Always gonna be a personal favorite. It was the first near-perfect to perfect comic book movie imo)
3. The Avengers (gotta mention it because it's the first time something came close to surmounting my love for TDK)

All time favourite? Superman: The Movie.

I don't actually consider Superman: The Movie 'the best' CBM though, but it is without question my favourite.

 

[random_havoc]

This is a difficult question so my simple answer is... either Logan, Spider-Man Homecoming, or The Avengers

Welcome to the boards




As for me, I can't choose a favourite amongst these:

-Avengers
-Winter Soldier
-Civil War

I don't think the MCU is ever going to top Winter Soldier. They have too many characters to ever really do a solo film again that focuses on one character and has this kind of far reaching effect on the universe. Their need to go wide from here on out limits their ability to go this deep again. And while TWS touches on themes every bit as deep as TDK, it has a comic book flair and attention to detail and character that touches every character, not just the antagonist. You can go back and get new things from it, and it's from the ground up a great experience, even the over-CGIed 3rd act doesn't fall apart technically like the ones from the latest MCU films, mostly due to lots of great practical work.

TWS is the high point of the MCU's ability to actually say something with their films (though Black Panther comes close). Just as Iron Man is the template for the MCU's hero's journey, The Winter Soldier film is the template for how to do supporting superheroes, future supporting antagonists and more that affects everything that comes after it. It is absolutely the MCU's best kept secret.

Winter Soldier may be the template but Black Panther is definitely the standard on how to bring supporting characters on screen and how powerful a message Marvel could really achieve on film. Also I think Killmonger is a far more complex villain than anyone in TWS. That being said, The Russos achieved a balance of drama, comedy, and action that I don't think any superhero film has come close to matching.

After seeing Black Panther again its getting close..

Still have TDK as the best, but I might say BP is my favorite.

Agree. After seeing BP again its the standard for MCU films imo.

I think that balance makes TWS a more enjoyable film. TWS is peak MCU. The best MCU movie. However, Black Panther is the best film that happens to be in the MCU (if that makes any sense) In terms of craft (not talking CGI or Action) of story, characters, depth and theme. Its my favorite.

I normally think the critics are off with comic movies (I've defended MoS and BvS UE a number of times) but they got it correct with this one.

TDK is in my top 3 but nothing tops the original Iron Man.

1. Iron Man
2a. TDK , 2b. Winter Soldier

 

[divan]

Either The Avengers or Captain America: Civil War.

 

[JeetKuneDo]

TDK not really in my top 10. It's more a Joker movie than a Batman movie anyway. Much prefer Batman Begins.

I can't do more than tier them really. Too close to rank them

1-Watchmen, Kick Ass, Mystery Men, Winter Soldier

2-Thor 3, Civil War, Avengers, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 1, Spider-Man Homecoming, Iron Man, X2, Batman Begins, Guardians of the Galaxy

3-Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Logan, Batman 89, Superman TM, Wonder Woman

That's really the ones I can watch at any time. The genre is really healthy right now
