20 greatest big-screen comic book heroes
By Behind The Scenes TV on Sep 25, 2007 in Comics, Commentary, Hollywood
With NBC’s Heroes one of the most talked-about shows on TV, an enthusiasm for super-powered heroes no longer carries the social stigma it once did. 2008 promises yet more comic book characters migrating from the page to the cinema , with big budget debuts for the long awaited Watchmen, Iron Man, The Flash, and half a dozen lesser characters already in production.
We thought it might be timely to review the biggest players in the superhero movie franchise business and assess their future prospects. We’ve scored them according to a range of substantially arbitrary criteria, focusing on their longevity both in comics and on film, and concocted a box-office score based on an average performance of all movie appearances by the character to date.
