“The idea of a superhero team, which it so brilliantly subverts, wasn’t yet a thing in movies,” Nolan said about Snyder’s 2009 Alan Moore graphic novel adaptation.

    I’d put Spawn in this category as well. While not without its issues I think it captures the spirit of the comic fairly well and is still worth a watch even 20-some years later. I still have no idea how Michael Jai White didn’t become a bigger action star…

      The Spawn movie was huge when it was fresh. The demand for McFarlane toys and the industry it spawned speaks for itself. I’d say that without it coming out at the time, comic book movies might not have been made in the 2000’s

      I think it released at the perfect time as this was the era of 90s action heroes. The problem was they leaned so heavily on bad CGI that it aged super fast.

        The cgi may have been bad but the cape was still fucking amazing, I’d been waiting years to see just that haha

      I remember really liking the HBO cartoon but hating the movie when it came out.
