Adaptations

It's occasionally fun to see the obvious shoutout, like Batman's TDKR pose in BvS, or Tony and Cap getting that slow motion cover reference in Civil War. Whole movie shouldn't be trying to build up to it though.

yes, if they're adapting most of a particular storyline, or if it's a pivotal moment in a character's plot

Does anyone have more examples?

Almost the entire movie Sin City.

That Joker and Harley scene in SS with them posing like the Alex Ross painting

I don't agree with adaptations at all so no.

Superman Returns does the car lift scene from the cover of action Comics #1. There's even a whole joke of it being a pic taken by a flipphone camera

Isn't literally every memorable movie ever an adaptation?

It was pretty interesting how Del Toro chose to shot some of the final scenes in Hellboy, after he kills the tentacled monster. His brow casts a shadow over his eyes and he looks more like Mike Mignola's drawing of Hellboy, who had no pupils.

This shot was one of the few truly great moments in skwad
I thought the changes in their relationship an harley essentially being his female counterpart was the only thing that actually worked

Paneling and storyboarding have completely different goals.You may use as a basis, but it you use it as a guide you are doing it wrong.

The Punisher 2004 movie took the welding scene straight from the comics. It worked in the comics, it was laughable on the big screen.

Sometimes it works well, like when you have a very stylized comic like Scott Pilgrim.

Snyder always has top notch visuals. Too bad he can't into anything else

Sad but true.

It can be neat to see someone utilize iconic imagery from a comic in an interesting way. But using a comic as a storyboard and just mimicking the visuals is incredibly lazy and pointless. Just read the comic if it's the same thing.

But I'm not big on adaptations anyway.

I like Ang Lee's Hulk for making it seem like I was watching a comic book.

Using the pillars as panel dividers was cool as shit

The shot was cool at the beginning of the season, but later when Jay was revealed to be Zoom it really makes me wish they would recreate this with real Jay

It's funny because those moments feel composed and like care went through the picture. moreso than the rest of the movie/series the referencing image is in.

Joker in this film keeps having this mouth breathing face.

Borrowing iconic images from the comic for the purpose of effective storytelling (which is what most of these examples seem to be) is fine. Although shoehorning in iconic images from the comic to cover up for lack of effective storytelling is pure cancer.

Actually trying to essentially film a motion comic might cause problems, since sequential art and film don't work quite the same way, but that depends on the comic.

Joker/Harley Bonnie and Clyde film when?

Snyder attempted this. I wish they would release the movie with the IMAX scalling thar way there could be a better picture of this.
