10 Comic Book Movies That Gave Fans Exactly What They Wanted

The comic book movies of the MCU, the DCU, and other franchises often offer fans exactly the developments that they"ve been clamoring for. In modern cinema, the superhero genre has become one of the most consistently successful, with the movies of the MCU in particular earning massive popularity. Adapting beloved characters and stories from the pages of comic books affords many opportunities for fan service, and comic book movies regularly capitalize on these chances.
Giving fans what they want is rarely simple, as subjectivity often comes into play. However, franchises sometimes opt to specifically deliver on speculated plot points, and even though in some cases – such as with some of the movies of the DCEU – these don’t pay off, they provide memorable moments of fan service. With that in mind, here are 10 comic book movies that gave fans exactly what they wanted.
10 Joker Gave The Villain A Big-Screen Origin Story Joker (2019) Close Though many actors have played the Joker in live-action, the one thing that had always been missing from the villain’s multiple iterations was a definitive origin. A story following the character’s time before becoming Batman’s iconic nemesis was something that many wished to see. Considering the villain’s importance within the Batman mythos, giving him a clear and detailed origin story was a long-awaited development among fans.
2019’s Joker delivered exactly that, and in the most emphatic way imaginable. Joaquin Phoenix starred as Arthur Fleck, and the movie put an interesting narrative spin on the typical depictions of the character. The origin story won critical acclaim and was wildly popular with fans, who appreciated the dark and imaginative perspective it added to the character’s story. In the case of Joker, giving the fans what they wanted proved to be hugely successful.
