Is "The Dark Knight" the greatest comic book movie ever made?

I haven't seen it yet but i can't wait. I wanted to see it but it sold out till sunday night. so ill see it then.

It's gotten rave reviews it's been on the cover of the 2 main major newspapers here in Boston for the past week. Never seen that before for a movie. It was on the front cover of USA today today as well.

i think it may shatter ironman's sales record and in my opinion beat out spiderman sles record. I seen 12 mins of the bank robbery scene in a big screen in best buy and "wow" is all i can say. I think it's going to greatest comic book movie ever made.

What's your take.

Yes it is. Without a doubt.

How could you see 12 minutes of the bank robbery scene when the bank scene is only 6 minutes?

my mistake, i meant the Best Buy demo cd was 12 mins total.

edit*

with the back robbery scene in it.

I'd say yes, it definitely is the best comic book movie ever, except for the fact that i'm not sure i'd categorize it as such. I would call it a crime drama based on comic book characters or maybe even an adaptation of comic book characters. I don't know, I may be way off on that.

By far yes. Iron Man was aweswome, Hancock was fun, but I just saw this on IMAX and I'm speechless. I'll post more when this high wears off.

I thought I'll never say this, but yes... it is the best "based on a comic book" movie.

though Sin City, and to an extent...300, are the best adaptation of a comic book... since they don't change much the source material

... wonder how The Watchmen will turn out

BTW: I just saw "The Spirit" trailer... looks good, though a little too much Sin City for my taste...

The Watchmen will fail, just as every Alan Moore adaptation has done.

The Dark Knight is even better than, dare I say, Sin City.

Yes.. as a movie.. It is

I was thinking more alone the lines of staying true to the comic book

... though Sin City has only so much to be based around... while The Dark Knight is a new and (to an extent) original story...

You have little faith, sir.

Personally, I thought V for Vendetta was a great movie and quality adaption. Although I think we can all agree that League of Extraordinary Gentleman was a pile of shit.

Watchmen looks good from the trailer, but of course we won't know how good/faithful it is until we actually watch the film.

"How about a magic trick?" 🙂

You have doubts on Watchmen? why so?

---------

And Yes, it is the best comic book movie ever made.

Definitely top 3. Hard to decide if its #1. For now, just by going off watching it for the first time, id have to say no. It isnt the greatest superhero movie ever.

for now, yes. if there is a movie out that has the ability to shatter spiderman record, it will be the dark knight.

Without a doubt.

you'd think that batman and robin couldn't look more ridiculous, then this movie comes out.

Too date? Hellz yeah, hands down.

It's in the top 3 that's for sure if not number 1.

def the best imo
