Bangalore: The comic books or strips have been hugely admired through decades and also been adaptive silage for cinema's most excellent films! There seems to be a heightened respect for the artistry. They were once held mostly to Television series and specials in the likes of Spider-Man, Captain America, Batman, and others. Comic books are now big business. Movies based on comics have risen on the silver screen and become worldwide phenomena. So lets see what the best comic book films are. The Dark Knight:

"A Gotham without rules. A hero with only one. A villain with nothing but pockets full of knives and lint." The brooding blockbuster - The Dark Knight - the rise of criminals' reactions to Batman assured at the end of Batman Begins takes on the form of Joker. Covered in war paint and emanating forbidden mayhem, the Joker attacks our superhero, complicating Batman's life to such an extent that the only way he can win is by falling. Heath Ledger's, arguably, best performance ever by taking on this complex agent of chaos is iconic personified, which in turn provides Bale with opportunities to make Batman more dynamic, more sympathetic, than ever. The exceptional supporting cast of Gary Oldman, Michael Caine and Aaron Eckhart, surrounded by a fearless approach to story and a Heat-inspired visual aesthetic, permanently puts the film in the "can't miss" section. While the movie isn't perfect, a lot of the scenes it executes are; they're perfect in the way they challenge audience expectations. One of the best movies ever made!
