Just as 1982 and 2009 can both be pointed to as being unusually good years for the science fiction genre, so too can 2008 be singled out as a game-changing one for the comic book movie/superhero genres. It was the year when the Marvel Cinematic Universe officially started and the year perhaps the best-ever Batman movie was released, after all, but 2008 had more to offer than just that dynamic duo of blockbusters.
2 'Iron Man' Director: Jon Favreau The movie that started it all, when it comes to the modern-day cinematic behemoth that is the MCU, Iron Man is rather quaint in hindsight, but nevertheless one of the most culturally significant superhero movies ever. The titular character was never a hugely popular one outside comic book readers, but this film and Robert Downey Jr.'slead performance inevitably made Tony Stark/Iron Man a household name.
4 'Speed Racer' Directors: Lilly Wachowski, Lana Wachowski If you want to get technical, Speed Racer is based on a manga series rather than a comic book series or a graphic novel, but given mangas are effectively the Japanese equivalents of comic books, then Speed Racer still counts as a comic book movie. And, given a great many mangas are adapted to anime, Speed Racer effectively feels something like an anime film in live-action.
6 'Hancock' Director: Peter Berg Hancock is a deeply strange movie, especially when watched today, feeling like a tonal nightmare of a movie that goes from being a breezy and comedic look at a roguish superhero to something much more serious in its second half. Will Smith plays that anti-superhero well, and the movie is at its best when it sticks to being funny; it definitely falters once it reveals a large and dramatic plot twist.
