Please vote for your favorite overall superhero adaptation (even if you dislike one or two of the instalments)

For the record, even though Batman is my favorite superhero and I love what Nolan has done with him, the original Superman movie is still my favorite adaptation, hence I voted for that.

(Also, I forgot to include Hulk in the Avengers franchise)
 
Poll should've been, batman or Spider-Man or Iron man or x-men film series ect...

Not this directors version or lumping all of the marvel studios franchise into one franchise when they aren't or most other marvel into just one option.

Nevertheless. The excellence of X2 and FC, and to a lesser extent X1, make X-Men the king :lecture

Avengers. For me it wins easily.

A franchise is all the films of the character, not different directors. That's a series.

So in Batman's case it'd be all 7 films. That's the franchise created by Warner Bros.

Spider-Man, all 4 films from Sony Columbia pictures.

Etc. etc.
 
the Hellboys movies are great, wish we had a third.

I get you.

I personally go by how they are in the comics. Even though Spidey and Daredevil in the same canon and universe and developed by the same company, i consider them to two individual franchises as they are not in the same book 24/7.

So to me the Thor franchise would be the Thor movies, Iron Man franchise would be the Iron Man movies, X-Men franchise would be the the X-Men movies and the Avenger franchise would be the Avenger movies.

I voted for Avengers assuming that included IM, Cap and Thor films. While I love XMen, I think the better series is the Avengers.

That's probably strictly correct, but when it comes to merchandising and other such components of a franchise, the different incarnations tend to be considered franchises in their own right.

But yeah, maybe I should've just said "series".

BTW obviously the X-Men option covers the Wolverine spin-offs too ...

This poll is a bit f'ed up. Even though I think the MCU movies are more fun, it still gave us crap like IM2. I thought all the Nolan Batman movies were good, so I voted for that one.

Sort of, but not really.


In 1989, Warner Bros. and DC Comics were licensing and raking in the money from the film. In 2012, Warner Bros. and DC Comics were licensing and raking in the money from the film. No Warner Bros, no Michael Uslan, no Batman films from the last 24 years.


Nothing changed. Warner Bros. owns and produced those 7 Batman films. That's their franchise. They hand out licensing and have merchandising teams just like they did in the 80s and 90s. I bet some of the employees are the same people too. The only difference in the merchandising now a days though are the companies. Like Kenner in the 80s, but Mattel, Hot Toys, etc. for our current time.





Same with Columbia Pictures with their Spider-Man films. It doesn't matter if it's Raimi or Webb, those are their babies and they all came from the same place as far as production goes.


All the movies have the same producers pretty much.




It'd be more like this,



- Superman (6 film Warner Bros. franchise)

- Batman (7 film Warner Bros. franchise)

- X-Men (20th Century Fox 7 film franchise)

- Spider-Man (Columbia Pictures 4 film franchise)

- Marvel Universe (Marvel/Disney 8+ film franchise)

- Then the others like Blade (New Line), Daredevil (Fox), Hell Boy (Columbia) etc. etc.







Doesn't matter though, the Marvel Franchise will always win. It has the biggest selection, the most films, the most characters, and it all connects for the most part.
