Live Poll: Oscars Face-Off: Watershed Comic Book Movies

For the second time in the ninety-two year-history of the Academy Awards, a film adapted from a comic book has been nominated for Best Picture. 'Joker' led all 2020 Oscar nominees and set a new record for comic book movies with eleven Oscar nominations. Only a year earlier, 'Black Panther' garnered seven nominations, as the first comic book adaptation to be nominated in the prestigious Best Picture category. A decade earlier, 'Dark Knight' laid the groundwork for future comic films by making the genre a serious Oscars contender with its breakthrough eight nominations and a shocking Best Picture snub.

Which of these most Oscar-nominated movies adapted from a comic book is the best: The Dark Knight (2008) or Black Panther (2018) or Joker (2019)?
