Decades ago, it used to be that when you were a comics fan, you were setting yourself up for disappointment in the movie theater. When I was growing up, comic book-based movies were generally really bad. But the past years finally reversed that trend starting with Iron Man and The Dark Knight, and then many others. Here are ALL the comics/superhero movies I could think of, in order of greatness.
