Another Alan Moore venture I'd recommend taking is his run at the British Superman/ Captain Marvel knock off Marvelman, or Miracleman if your country is fat. It's pretty much ground zero for his ideas found in later comics like Watchmen.

His run on Swamp Thing was really good as well.

It's really worth your while. The whole thing in collected into 5 or 6 volumes.

I voted for Batman as well mostly because I'm sick of Superman and his origin story being told over and over again but Superman is getting raked over the coals unfairly so I'm going to make a case for him.

Superman appealed more to people that are loners and/or had to move a lot when they were growing up and they could relate more to being a stranger in a new place and having this secret past that you kept from other people. In the early days of Superman when he only had his super strength. He went after wife beaters, rapists and other demented characters and would kill them without thinking twice about it. Only later on in like the 50s is when they gave him the boy scout characteristics and took away his tough and aggressive side.

He might not have mommy and daddy issues but he's not perfect like everyone is trying to make him seem.

He had issues with feeling isolated and alone. With not really feeling like he is part of everyone that is around him until his cousin Supergirl came around and one or two other people but he was very tortured.

The Superman that you are thinking of when he was a communist is a great graphic novel called Superman:Red Son.

Superman has some pretty good graphic novels like Superman: For All Seasons, Earth One and Metropolis.

I love the art work from Metropolis.

Don't necessarily have anything against the movie, but I hate the way they completely changed the ending. Made less sense, though they did at least keep the end scene where

Oh and Batty? Don't forget Dredd...

Most of the other 2000AD graphic novels are great too, like Strontium Dog, Slaine and Halo Jones...

they needed to completely change the ending because it wouldn't translate well to film.

I agree with their decision to do so.

Bollocks. There's no reason why it wouldn't have worked. Just lazy.
I disagree with your agreement of their decision.

Yeah. He arrived on Earth with only fourteen Krypto-dollars and a dream to run his own chain of dry-cleaning shops. Today he's one of the ten richest men in America.

Only in the US of A!

I found a really great explanation why through googling just now and it makes sense.

The most important part of it is the run time would have to be longer than it already is to properly set up and explain what was going on
