15 amazing moments and performers from not so amazing comic book movies
By Mark Lynch
14. Wade Wilson in X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Wolverine’s first solo project is among the most anticipated comic book projects of all time. This was going to be the film that gave the Wolverine everyone wanted to see. Not only that, Wade Wilson was making his debut. Instead of getting Deadpool versus Wolverine, fans received the Merc without a Mouth at the end of the movie.
Ryan Reynolds was the wise-cracking Wade Wilson that Marvel Comics fans wanted. He started by making hilarious jokes about his teammates. Then, when it was time for action, he was smooth and vicious. Too bad his appearance was short-lived. Although, fans may not have gotten the rated R Deadpool without X-Men Origins: Wolverine being disappointing.
13. The warehouse fight in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
The altercation between Batman and Superman may not have lived up to the hype. One thing that did blow people away was Batman’s fight scene in the warehouse. During this fight, Bruce was more vicious than any Batman we’ve seen in a film.
The Dark Knight brutally destroyed Luthor’s goons. At one point it looked like he gave one of the mercenaries a Rock Bottom. That wasn’t shocking. It’s what Batman dies. Although for a guy who doesn’t kill, some of those guys left without their lives. The funny part is it didn’t look like Batman lost any sleep over it.
