This is the list of the best fight scenes from great comic book movies!

10: Blade vs Dracula (Blade Trinity)

It's a awesome battle between two great characters.
when Drac turns into the "monster" and they start going
at it, and all the clanging of the swords, it is just classic.

9: Wolverine vs Deadpool (Wolverine Origins)

Now I’m probably one of the few people who like this movie
but this fight scene was pretty cool. Like how Deadpool
was kicking the crap out of him until Saber showed up.
Then when Saber and wolverine went back to back, and Deadpool
still beat them up was great. Only crappy thing was when
Deadpool used the "Optic Blasts".

8: Spider-Man vs Doc Oc (Spider-Man 2)

When their on that building and they are fighting over
Aunt May, it was kinda intense for me(but I was only 10).
When he threw her off, I got nervous, until she caught the
ledge though. And just Doc and Spidey facing off was cool.

7: Hellboy vs Karl Ruprecht Kroenen (Hellboy 1)

When they duel, and Hellboy just beats him around was just great.
Then when he throws him into the pit, and smashes him in
between those two enormous gears, just showed how awesome Hellboy
really is.

6: Batman vs The Joker (The Dark Knight)

This movie didn't offer many fight scenes, but the
few that were in the movie were great. When their on
the edge of the building and Batman shoots him with his
arm blades, it just showed The Joker who he was messing with.

5: Dan & Silk Spectre vs Gang Members (Watchmen)

What was so great about this scene, was how perfectly
it followed the comic. How it showed the duo snapping arms,
and showing the Dr. Manhattan interview at the same time,
it was just like the comic. But the best part was,
when they were snapping the bones of the gang members.

4: Iron Man vs Iron Monger (Iron Man)

It's just funny how Monger man handled Iron Man. He
was just beating him with cars and anything else he
could use. But Iron Man beat him because he was
smarter. He used tech to beat him, instead of brawn.

3: Snake-Eyes vs Storm Shadow (G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra)

I know how everyone hated this movie, except me and LEEE,
but this was a good fight. When Snake-Eyes and
Storm Shadow fought, it showed two of the coolest
ninja's finally on the big screen. When Snake used the
bladed tonfas to beat Storm, it fulfilled my childhood
fantasies.

2: Optimus Prime vs The Decepticons (Transformers: ROTF)

Now, when Optimus beats the crap outta the Decepticons,
It proves the he is the greatest Transformer. He was
just beating them. When he ripped Blackout's face apart
it made me jumped out of my seat. But he was killed by
the cheap Megatron.

1: Rorschach vs The Police (Watchmen)

This was not only the best fight scene, it
was the best scene in a movie ever. Also, once again,
it followed the comic perfectly, besides making
him fight off more cops. When you see him take a can
of hairspray and a match to set a cop on fire, it
showed how tactically brilliant he is. Then using their
guns to hurt them was awesome. Then jumping out
of the window, and then fighting even more cops, and
beating them with the nightstick made me giddy. But
the best part was Rorschach. He IS the greatest comic
book character of all time.

So, that is my opinion of the greatest fight scenes in comic book movie history.

Only one correction...Optimus didn't rip off Blackout's face. Blackout died in the first movie. I don't remember who they said transformed into a helicopter in ROTF but it wasn't Blackout.

Nice list! All great fight scenes, except I have never seen the Hellboy movies but I'm guessing I should check them out. Congrats on your first article!

I have my own preferances and they'd probably be in a different order but I agree with the majority...I hated what they did to Deadpool in Origins but the final fight was well done and theres a few up there I actually wouldnt have thought of! Great article wyatt1234!!! :)

@Wyatt. Great first article my friend! Those are all fantastic fights. Bamf is right though, I dont' remember who the helicopter was in ROTF...bad ass scene regardless. A few others:

-Wolverine vs. Sabretooth in the tavern after the death of Silverfox

-Wolverine vs. Deathstrike in X2

-Nightcrawlers vs. White House secret service in X2

-Hulk vs. Abomination

Keep up the good work!

@ecksmanfan
I did think about including the Nightcrawler fight and the hulk fight.

supermarioworldE - 10/28/2009, 12:51 PM
I personally think that Rorschach and Nightowl vs. Ozymandias was a better fight. (Loved Watchmen)

other than that, good list. I also liked G.I. Joe. (Now everybody's gonna crucify me for that statement)

congrats! your first and you made it to main!

Nice list and congrats on the first article but I think this would have been more correctly titled as "Top ten comic book movie fight scenes of the last 5-7 years."
ecksmanfan
ecksmanfan - 10/28/2009, 12:52 PM
@Wyatt- I'm pretty sure I had a nerd-gasm during the Nightcrawler scene. That was amazing!

@Multi- Oh, I forgot about Sin City and V for Vendetta!
KurtCrawler
KurtCrawler - 10/28/2009, 12:56 PM
@TheGuillotine

The reason for the 5-7 years is because iv'e only seen the newer CBM's. Mostly because im 14 ;)

@ecksmanfan

Yes, me too. i was so excited to se one of my fav characters on the big screen!

Not exactly comic book, but in the realm, the final fight between Freddy and Jason was absolutely perfect. Gory as hell, funny and way over the top.

thenumber12 - 10/28/2009, 1:15 PM
No Hulk vs. Abomination? Really? I thought that would be top 3.
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 10/28/2009, 1:19 PM
A few that should be in this list IMO are...

Spider-Man vs. Green Goblin (final fight) - Spider-Man
Hulk vs Abomination - The Incredible Hulk
Nite Owl vs. Ozymandias - Watchmen

LEEE777 - 10/28/2009, 1:20 PM
WYATT @ Your sh1tting me????

Go and watch BURTON'S BATMAN man!!!!

BATMAN '89 is a [frick]ing classic!!



Misterfan
Misterfan - 10/28/2009, 1:22 PM
Meh! i think spidey vs doc oc train scene fight is the best fight so far. Plus Superman vs Nuclear man (moon fight) was sick for its time ... i kno i'm gonna get sanctioned for this pick tho lol
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 10/28/2009, 1:23 PM
Number one!!!

paladinn - 10/28/2009, 1:23 PM
Guys, I know it was a while ago.. but for me, the ultimate super fight will always be Superman vs. the 3 Kryptonian villains in Superman II. Even without today's SFX, it was pure awesomeness!

imnotwearinghockeypants - 10/28/2009, 1:26 PM
@multi, actually, they've both been in several comics, smart guy.

@LEEE, the Batwing gets shot down by a (long) handgun?? That was the single really lame moment in the movie!
SkunkApe1
SkunkApe1 - 10/28/2009, 1:30 PM
It wasn't in a comic, but the wildest fight scene is Roddy Piper versus Keith david, in the alley, in "They Live".

too real !
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 10/28/2009, 1:31 PM
Paladinn @ Point taken lol!

But the fight between BATS & JOKER on top of the church is a comic book movie masterpiece!!

And i do agree SUPERMAN II fight scenes were spectacular!!

Not Bad!

Some notes:

on Blade Trinity) The fight between them was good. My problem with Dracula in Blade Trinity was that I just wished he was more like Marvel's ultra classic depiction of Dracula. I am a huge Tomb of Dracula fan.. I have a lot of that run. That to me was a let down. This is a movie about Marvel vampires, so what would be the harm in throwing in a few fun extras like that? poop

On Wolverine) Like a lot of folks I hated the movie. I hated Baraka-pool and Im not even a Deadpool fan. The fight was brilliantly filmed and well choreographed, with top notch CGI. That's all the good I can say about that. On the other hand I could write for days about all the things I didn't like about that fight, but it's all been said many times before so why rehash. So there it is.

On Spider - Man vs Doc Ock) Please do not get the impression that I didn't like the movie. I LOVED it. It was great. It's a fine achievement. But one thing that bothered me about the fighting between Doc Ock and Spidey is that it was lame how much punishment Doc Ock was able to take. Spider-man got NUMEROUS good solid hits and Doc Ock just shook it off like it was nothing. Punches to the FACE with no blood, cuts, bruises... no unconsciousness. That was silly and it was a mistake. I know Spidey pulls his punches because he doesn't want to kill perps, but that just doesn't cover it on that one.

btw.. if bladed tonfas are your childhood fantasies, then your a man after my own heart :D lmao

Great article Wyatt!

I big time agree on the Optimus fight, that scene gave me goosebumps.

I also liked:

Hulk vs Abombination

Blade vs.....reaver guy, at the end of Blade 2 (although it was silly that his glasses never broke! lol)

Marv vs Kevin in Sin City

The Immortals attack in 300

The temple fight in Batman Begins

Now how can you talk about BEST comicbook fight scenes with out mentioning BLADE?

Shaman
Shaman - 10/28/2009, 1:37 PM
Congrats on the first article MAKING MAIN no less!!!

But i can't in good conscience agree to any Nolan Bat Fight... EVER. They all sucked. Even Adam West showed more prowess...

And the Blade Trinity Drake fight sucked when compared to the Bloodbath(Now THAT was an opening!!!) or ANY fight in Norington's Blade!

CorndogBurglar - 10/28/2009, 1:39 PM
you forgot Howard the Duck vs. the Dark Overlord


and i take it these are your opinions?? sorry, i don't agree with numbers 3 and 2. i thought snake eyes vs storm shadow was greatly over rated.

ASSASSIN666 - 10/28/2009, 1:52 PM
I happen to like the new fighting style of Batman. You have to be a true martial artist to appreciate it. It's a style called kc using very unorthodox moves like elbows and short range knees and punches. Similar to muay thai, but more efficient. Perfect way to break up a body quickly.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 10/28/2009, 1:55 PM
Misterfan @ I just saw what you put lol!!! : D
Shaman
Shaman - 10/28/2009, 1:56 PM
ASSASSIN666- I'm a capoeirista and have been doing Tae Kwon-Do for the better part of my life and i still hate the shit out of Nolan's Bat Fights. I can appreciate good martial arts when they are well filmed which Nolan couldn't pull off if his life depended on it. You wanna see a good variation of Martial Arts styles, watch Balde2's opening hunt. It's all in the "filming", not so much in the actual style used.

Good one, Montross! The Russian fight in Jane's Punisher was AMAZING!!! And 300 should win 1st place on account of being a huge fight scene in itself ;)

Wyatt@ Great article dude. Though not really a fight scene I would say the big shooting scene in the alley in Road to Perdition, with all its great cinematograhy and beautiful slowmotion, one off my favourites. But then again probably not the right list to include this, just thought I would bring it up :D
