The Dark Knight

Watchworthy

Venturing into the labyrinth of the Joker's history, countless actors have donned the wide grin and signature cackle synonymous with the character. This continuing saga is a testament to the durability of the famed villain, played superbly by various talents who have dared to walk in the warped shoes of DC Comics' clown prince of crime. This exploration is a deep dive into the sea of Joker actors ranked by fan opinions.Each portrayal of the Joker offers a unique prism through which to view the notorious character.

That’s left it up to Miles to carve out a unique niche for himself on Earth-616, separate and distinct from <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/spider-man-marvel-comic-catchup/stephanroget">the constant zaniness that is Peter Parker-616’s life</a>.

Things You Never Noticed About Power Rangers as a Kid

Keanu Reeves

Released in 2005, director Francis Lawrence&#39;s&nbsp;Constantine starred Keanu Reeves as&nbsp;the DC Comics/Vertigo character, though fans were quick to note that this movie version of John Constantine didn&#39;t look or sound much like the one from the comics. Originally created by Alan Moore, the Constantine of the Hellblazer&nbsp;comics is an irreverent, foul-mouthed Brit with blond hair while the movie version is played by the dark-haired&nbsp;Reeves - who thankfully does&nbsp;not attempt&nbsp;a British accent as he did in 1992&#39;s&nbsp;Bram Stoker&#39;s Dracula -&nbsp;and the action&nbsp;moves&nbsp;to Los Angeles.

For some fans of the comics, the differences were a deal-breaker, which may have had something to do with the film&#39;s poor critical performance - it only has a 46% on <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/constantine" target="_blank">Rotten Tomatoes</a>. Also telling, however, is that Constantine came out on the heels of Reeves&#39;s role in the Matrix trilogy,&nbsp;leading to unfair comparisons to those very different films. Also, <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/favorite-comic-book-movies?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book movies</a> hadn&#39;t really found their footing yet in 2005. After all,&nbsp;the first Guillermo del Toro&nbsp;Hellboy&nbsp;came out only the year before and&nbsp;Iron Man&nbsp;was still three years away.

Whatever the reasons, a lot of people dismissed&nbsp;Constantine&nbsp;when it first came out, despite the presence of a truly devilish devil and no&nbsp;shortage of visual panache. With Reeves back in the spotlight thanks to&nbsp;the John Wick&nbsp;franchise, it&#39;s&nbsp;time to take another look at this unsung gem of a movie. You might be surprised to learn that 2005&#39;s&nbsp;Constantine&nbsp;is a better film than you remember.&nbsp;

A Bird, A Plane

Entertainment

When&nbsp;Superman: The Movie&nbsp;came out in 1978, the film revolutionized the comic book film industry. Thanks to great reviews and a blockbuster box office, Superman&nbsp;changed how <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/favorite-comic-book-movies?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book movies</a> were perceived on the big (and small) screen.

Unfortunately, the same franchise that created perhaps one of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-superheroes-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">most iconic superhero</a> movies of all time&nbsp;also created arguably one of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/worst-superhero-movies/ranker-film?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">worst superhero movies</a> of all time, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace&nbsp;- so much so that it made the legendary Christopher Reeve hang up his cape for good.

Sadly, the movie had a lot of potential. It saw Superman having to intervene&nbsp;in a global&nbsp;arms race to help rid the world of nuclear weapons. But Lex Luthor has&nbsp;other plans, and with the help of&nbsp;war mongers&nbsp;looking for&nbsp;financial reward, Luthor&nbsp;creates a being out of nuclear energy that is strong enough to take on Superman.

From struggles stemming from&nbsp;substantial cost-cutting to problems with the script, the film had many issues that&nbsp;ultimately led to the failure of Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, halting the&nbsp;Man of Steel <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/favorite-comic-book-movies" target="_blank">franchise</a> for decades.

However, not all villains are created equal - and that applies to MCU antagonists, as well.&nbsp;Fan favorites like Killmonger and Loki are obvious choices where their backgrounds explain their bad guy personas, but there are plenty of others to consider. Ghost was just looking to cure her molecular instability that stemmed from a childhood accident that claimed&nbsp;both her parents. Kaecilius was just looking to reunite with his deceased wife and son. Ultron was just looking to save the world from the destruction caused by humanity.

Superman Facts You Probably Didn't Know

Iron Man (Character)

When Marvel Studios launched&nbsp;Iron Man&nbsp;in 2008, few people thought the movie would work. After all, Iron Man wasn&#39;t Marvel&#39;s strongest or favorite character, so the movie was something of a gamble. Of course, it all worked out, and Iron Man became a far more appreciated character on and off the screen. Tony Stark and Iron Man were introduced in&nbsp;Tales of Suspense&nbsp;#39 back in 1963, so the character has been around for more than half a century.

In all that time, through the comic books, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/iron-man-movie-trivia/coy-jandreau" target="_blank">movies</a>, graphic novels, video games, and other media, the character has developed into a significant one in the Marvel Universe.
