Came upon this little gem in the FF boards. This guy put the changes done to the Mandarin on the same level as the changes to Ledger's Joker.

Don't forget that there is a very strong argument that Marvel actually did stay fairly true to the core of the character: the Mandarin is still a hyper-macho fantasy who used abuse of resources to turn himself into a living weapon, and sought to profit from exploiting war in the larger world. They just changed things like the exact nature of his power source, and his race. Which is to say, the Mandarin is about as faithful to the source material as the Heath Ledger Joker is to his.
