POW! BIFF! BAAA! Comic Book Movie Sheep

Welcome to Comic Book Movie Movie Sheep! Intro for first time players Spoiler:
General Rules Spoiler:
Game-Specific Rules Spoiler:
Other Notes: <ul> <li>For this game, Comic Book Movie = A movie based on characters originally created for the comic book medium that was theatrically released in the U.S. No tv or direct-to-video unless the question specifies. Comic strips are not comic books! This all obviously applies to reverse questions only since there's no such thing as a wrong sheep answer. <li>If more than one movie has a particular title, please specify which one you mean (by year, stars, director ... anything that makes it clear). Also, please specify character and actor if possible to avoid confusion on character questions. <li>Please send in your answers to me via PM. Place only one answer per line, without numbers or the question itself. Add {sd} to the end of the answer, not the beginning. Those who do not do this will be penalized 20 points right off the bat. <li>I will also correct mistakes you may have made when originally sending me your answers at a cost of 10 points. <li>Read the game-specific rules. I'm using Brainee's limited stacking dunk rules. I will only count up to 2 stacked dunks, so if you stack more, they will be wasted. You'll have to decide whether it's worth the 10 points for me to change them (hint: it probably will be). <li>I don’t plan on taking more than 25 players, so once we get close to filling I’ll close things off (with special passes available to former Sheepmasters). At that point, give me a couple of days for scoring and organization of answers and hopefully we can get this going by Wednesday. </ul> The Questions <ol> <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> We've had some really great comic book movies over the years, but with the good must come some bad. What is the worst comic book movie? <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> The Joker in all of his incarnations has provided some of the most iconic villainous movie moments, but who is the best non-Joker villain in a comic book movie? <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">R:</font> Comic/movie nerds hate discontinuity in their franchises, but sometimes Richard Harris gets sick and there's nothing you can do about it. Name a character who was recast for a comic book movie sequel. (reboots like Batman Begins don't count as sequels) <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> The X-Men movies aren't all about Wolverine. It just seems like it sometimes. Name an actor who has appeared in the X-Men franchise who is not Hugh Jackman. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> The Amazing Spider-Man 2 thread has proven that, ultimately, this is all that really matters. Who is the hottest female character in a comic book movie? <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">R:</font> The unjustly maligned Daredevil (ok, probably justly) featured many references (cameos and character names) to popular Daredevil writers/artists. Name one of those writers/artists. (last name only is fine) <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> I'm sure there's been over a hundred characters who've been Avengers over the years. Name one that you'd like to see make an appearance in a future movie. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was the last time we ever saw Sean Connery. Not quite Gene Hackman in Welcome to Mooseport, but still kind of sad. Name a member of the LXG as seen in the movie. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">R:</font> Mystery Men bombed, but it wasn't because of the pretty-impressive-in-retrospect cast. Name someone from that cast. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> Remember when everyone on the internet went crazy because Christopher Nolan cast Heath Ledger as the Joker? That turned out ok. In retrospect, what was the worst casting choice in a comic book movie? <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> Before studios realized what a box office cash cow these superhero franchises were, tv was usually where you could find them. Name a comic book movie that was made for tv. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">R:</font> Danny Elfman has scored movies not made by Tim Burton. Honest. Name a comic book movie for which Danny Elfman wrote the score. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> Sometimes the studios get it right, but too often they don't. Name the comic book movie or franchise most in need of a reboot/remake. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> Who is the best actor to ever appear in a comic book movie? <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">R:</font> Frank Miller's name is attached to some of the most beloved comics of all time. Unfortunately the same can't be said for most of his movies. Name any movie for which Frank Miller has an official credit. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> Studios have barely scratched the surface with comic adaptations. Name a comic series that has never been adapted into a theatrical movie but should be. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> Wait, what? How many of these have they made? What is the best Punisher movie? <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">R:</font> What was that about comic/movie nerds hating discontinuity? Name a character who has been played by the same actor in 3 or more comic book movies. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> Not all comics are about grown men in tights. What is the best movie based on a non-superhero comic. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> While DC can't seem to keep pace with Marvel's theatrical output, they've been pumping out high quality animated work for years. What is the best direct-to-video DC animated movie? <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">R:</font> The 80's weren't all about crappy horror sequels. Name a comic book movie released in the 1980's. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> Likewise, the 90's weren't all about Jim Carrey making funny faces. Name a comic book movie released in the 1990's. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> Someone has to take the credit/blame. What movie is most responsible for the comic book movie boom of the 2000's? <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #A3D867">R:</font> Some of the biggest money makers of all time have been based on comics. Name a comic book movie on the top 100 all-time domestic box office list as of today according to BoxOfficeMojo.com. <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> We've had many men don the cape and cowl over the years. Who should replace Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman in the next Batman (or JLA) movie? <li> <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #F9DF00">S:</font> Plain and simple. What is the best comic book movie not named The Dark Knight or The Avengers? </ol> Edit: I realized my questions were pretty verbose and may be hard to read on some screens and/or will annoy the piss out of people who don't think I'm funny. Here's a scaled down version without my added comments: Spoiler:
Game is now closed! See you Tuesday at around 1:00pm Eastern |

I'm in. Great questions. Should be fun.

Re: POW! BIFF! BAAA! Comic Book Movie Sheep
Just a reminder: Please be specific with your answers.
There are a few instances where multiple movies have been released with the same title. There are even more instances of the same character being played by different actors. I'll be pm'ing some of you for clarification on a couple of questions at some point today (probably later tonight). I won't dock points because I'm nice and in most cases I'm pretty sure what you actually mean. |
Re: POW! BIFF! BAAA! Comic Book Movie Sheep

This one was really hard, mostly guessing. Very sad I wasn't able to give Ghost World as an answer for anything.

Answers sent. I didn't feel good about most of my answers. I also couldn't think of a sure fire sheep question. Even the Punisher question could go a couple ways.
