Rotten Tomatoes Reveals Its Best-Reviewed Comic Book Movie And TV Show Of 2022

Rotten Tomatoes has announced the winners of the 24th Annual Golden Tomato Awards, with the goal of honouring the best-reviewed movies and TV shows of 2022.

Top Gun: Maverick was last year's best-reviewed movie, with House of the Dragon named the best-reviewed TV series. We're not overly surprised by either of them picking up wins here as critics and fans responded incredibly positively to both. 

The review aggregator also breaks down titles by genre, and we now know what the best-reviews comic book movie and TV shows of 2022 were!

The Batman came in at #1, beating the likes of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and Werewolf by Night. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the DCU's future under DC Studios' watch, we'd say Matt Reeves' first entry in the "Batverse" is well-deserving of this accolade as it was an absolutely phenomenal take on The Dark Knight courtesy of Robert Pattinson. 

As for 2022's best-reviewed superhero TV series, that goes to Ms. Marvel. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law came in at second place (something we're sure will be triggering for some), while The Boys season 3 was close behind. Kamala Khan's MCU debut was a blast, even if it boasted a disappointing group of villains. 

Movies and TV shows proudly tout Rotten Tomatoes scores in marketing because those all-important scores do make a difference. While the odd release here and there is deemed critic-proof, we've seen plenty of highly anticipated releases crash and burn after taking a mauling from critics. 

Do you think the critics were right about The Batman and Ms. Marvel? As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

I enjoyed by Ms. Marvel, but in a year with The Boys S3, Peacemaker and The Sandman, I did not expect it to end up as the best reviewed show.

I loved them both. All-in-all, I enjoyed last years offerings. I even didn’t hate Black Adam. But my standouts were definitely The Batman, Wakanda Forever, Moon Knight, Sandman and Peacemaker.

My favourite movie or show from last though was definitely House of the Dragon. What a return to form.

OT: The Last Of Us first episodes was incredible. Definitely going to clean up at award season next year.

I think the highlights of Ms Marvel were its first and last episodes. The middle ones had interesting story, but their pacing felt a bit dragging; and that's coming from from someone who binged the show, rather than following it weekly.

Personally enjoyed Moon Knight a lot more from this year's D+ MCU series, but I feel like Sandman should have come out on top.

As for The Batman from the movies, well deserved. Would have gone for Werewolf By Night instead, but I guess it doesn't count since it wasn't theatrically released...

...or DS:MoM (sue me).

@DrReedRichards - I haven’t seen the actual list and don’t care enough to look for it, but in the article Josh said that The Batman beat the lines of Wakanda Forever and WBN, so it seems it was counted as a movie. BTW, my lawyers should be contacting you by COB tomorrow.

I am a huge MCU fan, but I agree with Batman as top pick, though it could have used some editing to trim about a half hour out of it.

She-Hulk? I liked a lot of it, but the awful twerking & terrible last episode kind of left me cold.

I think She-Hulk is a great addition to the MCU if they can just avoid completely stupid humor killing important moments.

>It's the year 2045, people are still in love with a grounded ass Batman and the new director will soon introduce the 15th Joker in our lifetime.
