Sin City (2005)
Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller's 2005 hyper-stylized noir. Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Clive Owen. Black-white with red accents. -
The Dark Knight (2008)
Nolan's 2008 Batman sequel. Bale, Ledger, Eckhart. Ledger's posthumous Oscar. The film that proved comic book films could be major cinema. -
Joker (2019)
Todd Phillips's 2019 character study. Joaquin Phoenix won Best Actor. Scorsese-adjacent but not Scorsese. Still the strongest live-action Joker film. -
The Punisher (1989, 2004, 2008)
Three theatrical Punisher films: 1989 Lundgren, 2004 Jane, 2008 Stevenson. Three distinct approaches, three distinct production eras.
