Manic Expression

I was wondering what the community thought was the best and worst adaptation of a superhero in movies, mine would be the 89-97 version of Batman from being a homicidal maniac in the Burton films to turning into a joke in Schumacher films. However for best I would say its a tie between the Nolan films or the Iron Man films.

Adam West's Batman. He is the best repenstation of the Silver Age Batman.

best superhero adaptation in a film?....oooh...toss up between Superman '78 Spider Man 2012, Iron Man 2008, Captain America 2011, Watchmen 2009 and The Avengers 2012

Worst Superhero Adaptations.....

Catwoman 2004, Daredevil/Electra 2003, Captain America 1990, The Spirit 2008, The Phantom 1996 and Hulk 2003

Peace.

the beast for me wold be the 1963 batman tv show and the worse will always be 1990's Captian America

The best was definitely Capt. America, 2011. How to get a character that I hate with a flaming passion and make me interested in said character.

The worst was definitely Elektra. Not a speck of doubt in my mind. "Hey. let's get a shitty movie we did, get a shitty adaptation of a character that people love and make a spin-off with nothing that resemble the comics whatsoever. People are gonna love it!"

Best: Tie between The Avengers & Watchmen.

Worst: a god-awful made for TV movie called "Legends of the Superheroes". It's worse than Batman & Robin, worse than the Superman musical, worse than the Reb Brown Captain America movies... it's just atrocious. 

I really enjoy Hellboy as I think del Toro did a nice job reimagining it for the big screen.  Jonah Hex was the worst and the worst part was I actually think they cast the lead right.  The writer and the rest of the cast just needed tossed somewhere deep and dark.

Best, I'm going to have to go with Avengers. Just loved that movie.

For worst, this isn't going to suprise no one who has talked to me about comics/westerns/ or just movies in general, but Jonah Hex. I hate that movie, if i ever start video reviews that well be on the top of my hit list. Sure, Batman and Robin may be worst on a techincal level, and even in terms of acting, but here's the thing. Now when the general public thinks of Jonah Hex they think of that cowboy with superpowers, not the great character from the comics who relys only on his own skills. *sigh* Here's hoping we get a real Jonah Hex movie someday. 

For best i would have to say Watchmen, yes they made a few changes but there was no way they could have done it other wise. they paid so much attention to the comic even going as far as copying scenes it looked amazing.

Worst is The Spirit. Whoever said Frank Miller could direct should be kicked in the nuts. I've read the comics and there is no connection what so ever apart from the names. All the characters are wrong. They make him out to be some sort of man whore. Thats not who The Spirit is. And as for The Octopus, WTF. Whats with the costumes and why WHY did they give him the 8 of everything gimmick? The comics was a Pulp hero of the 40's about detectives, mystery and adventure. the comics today continue that with vibrant colours which pay tribute to those times. The movie was a porn parody without the sex.
