Superhero Movie Bracketology - Round 1 - The Dark Knight v Green Lantern

[95 Vol Alum]

I've decided to do a bracket style tournament of superhero movies (32 movies in total). Vote for your favorite to advance. I will post a thread for each match-up so I can use the poll feature for results.

This is a 1st Round match-up:

(1) The Dark Knight (2008)

Rotten Tomatoes - 94%
IMDb - 9/10

vs.

(8) Green Lantern (2011)

Rotten Tomatoes - 26%
IMDb - 5.7/10

This one isn't fair either.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

It's the overall #1 vs. the overall #32.

 

[YankeeVol]

Old School is a better super hero movie than The Green Latern

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Streaking is not a super power.

 

[BenGrimm]

It's the overall #1 vs. the overall #32.

I'll be interested to see your complete 32 if you have GL at the very bottom.

I actually enjoyed it for the most part. It had its flaws but was actually pretty close to the spirit of the source material. There are definitely worse superhero movies.

That said, i voted The Dark Knight.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

The bottom 4 were GL, Daredevil, Fantastic Four, and X-Men Origins. I tried to use data and not my opinion to seed. As evidenced by my voting for The Wolverine and Thor.

 

[YankeeVol]

Daredevil was worse.

 

[The Ron Mexico]

I kinda liked GL. Should have been at least a 5 seed.

 

[BenGrimm]

Daredevil was worse.

Agreed. So was Fantastic Four.

The bottom 4 were GL, Daredevil, Fantastic Four, and X-Men Origins. I tried to use data and not my opinion to seed. As evidenced by my voting for The Wolverine and Thor.

By X-Men Origins do you mean First Class or Wolverine? The latter being worse than GL as well..

Not trying to be nitpicky. This is a fun idea over all. Looking forward to the rest.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Wolverine.

 

[Panthro]

Anyone that votes against The Dark Knight in any round clearly just made a mistake.

 

[BadJerry20]

Streaking is not a super power.

Depends on who it is

 

[95 Vol Alum]

I'm telling coug and Ben you voted for GL.

 

[BadJerry20]

Lol I couldn't let Rock be all by himself, and I hate Batman.

 

[95 Vol Alum]

I'm telling coug and Ben you hate Batman.

Why don't you just quit now and move to the Ukraine?

 

[BadJerry20]

He has great villains, but he's meh.

I prefer North Korea

 

[firestorm]

Damn this is the most lopsided poll I've think I've seen.
It basically is Florida a and m vs Florida state in football.
