    Deadpool.

    Deadpool takes the final spot which means it's farewell to Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, but the animated feature did well reaching this stage.

    I will now do the draw for the semi-finals and post the first tie in a few minutes. Stay tuned. :cool:

    Okay folks, we have found our final four films and now it's time to find our finalists. The draw for the semi-finals has been completed and it's up to you to determine who deserves to go through.

    Since the stakes are even higher, we are going to raise the requirement to 5 votes needed to progress.

    So without any further ado, here is our first tie...





    The Dark Knight

    Hmmmm... It's almost a choice between Drama and Comedy - so hard to compare the two.

    Gonna go with Deadpool

    The Dark Knight goes through after an exciting clash. Deadpool was leading 3-2 at one point, but The Dark Knight levelled and eventually got the necessary fifth vote to go through.

    Now we must determine the other finalist to emerge from our last semi-final which is an all-Marvel encounter...




    The Avengers

    It was a close semi-final but by a score of 5-3 it is Captain America: Civil War that goes through.

    We now have our two finalists. I will shortly post up the details of the final so stay tuned. :cool:


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,588 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    The time has come, ladies and gents, for our final round.

    We started with 64 of the best superhero movies around and at last we come to the final 2 that have been deemed worthy of a place in our final. Now we must determine which film the forum believes merits the title of Boards Best Superhero Movie.

    As was the case with other tournaments, to ensure maximum participation, in this final we will have a 24 hour time limit for receiving votes. The superhero movie with the most votes by this time tomorrow will be our winner!

    (Note - in the event it's a tie after the time limit expires then I will do a Ceann Comhairle job and cast a vote to break the deadlock.)

    So then, let us assess our finalists...





    The Dark Knight






    Path to the Final

    Rd 1 - Defeated Ant-Man
    Rd 2 - Defeated Blade
    Rd of 16 - Defeated Watchmen
    Q-Finals - Defeated RoboCop
    S-Finals - Defeated Deadpool










    VS










    Captain America: Civil War





    Path to the Final

    Rd 1 - Defeated Blade 2
    Rd 2 - Defeated Hellboy
    Rd of 16 - Defeated Avengers: Age of Ultron

    S-Finals - Defeated The Avengers


    It's a DC vs Marvel clash as Christopher Nolan's 2008 film, The Dark Knight, featuring an all-star cast of Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, among others, takes on Anthony and Joe Russo's 2016 film, Captain America: Civil War, featuring an all star cast of Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner, among others.

    Which of these two films is your favourite? Cast your vote within 24 hours of our final deadline which is, to be precise, Tuesday, May 31st, 12:30 a.m.

    Love both of these films - certainly a deserving Final 2 and quite a difficult choice. I could easily pick either of these as a winner, but I think it's gonna be The Dark Knight for me. Civil War is a bit fresher in my mind, more recent and it'll be interesting to see in 8 years time exactly how much of an impact it will have had on the genre, while Dark Knight has already stood that test of time and is one of the most iconic films in the genre.

    My vote is for The Dark Knight.
