5 Comic Book Based Shows Or Movies That Aren’t For The Faint-Hearted

by Team Expresso

From Amazon Prime Video’s Utopia to 20th Century Studios’ Death on the Nile to Jamie Foxx starrer Project Power, with so many exciting international titles being announced, this week has definitely been an electrifying one for all the pop-culture enthusiasts out there. As we gear up for this weekend’s masterstroke, DC’s first day of the global event FanDome is almost here for all the superhero lovers.

While we wait for this epic event to unfold, here are some 5 R-rated superhero flicks that you can watch to get your geek-mode on!

Joker

 Breaking several global box office records, Joaquin Phoenix’s award-winning Joker is a must-watch for everyone. Being one of the most talked-about films of all time, this dark-themed movie is a one-man show which excellently hones the picturesque life of Arthur Flec aka Joker, Batman’s arch-enemy. joker

Deadpool

 Redefining the very definition of an adult superhero genre, Deadpool is a fan-favorite wisecracking foul-mouth. It is very authentic and stays quite faithful to its comic version. Hilarious, action-packed, and just the sheer brilliance of the film’s style, all of which was something that was never explored before in a superhero flick. And to top it off, who better than the ingenious Ryan Reynolds to helm the title. deadpool

The Boys

 The Amazon original series is a refreshing tale of anti-heroes among the superhero fatigue that exists today. In a world where superheroes are idolized, this show gives an intriguing perspective to what would happen if ‘Supes’ as they call it, went rogue, and let their fame get to their head. A gang of vigilantes goes head-to-head against the capitalizing corporates behind these rogue cape-wearers. Filled with dark-humor, gore, and a whole lot of action-packed drama, The Boys is a diabolically messed up watch that you just can’t miss! Especially since an even more invigorating season 2 will be premiering on September 4.The Boys S 2

Watchmen

Regina King starrer series Watchmen is one of the finest adaptations of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ landmark 1986-87 comic. The HBO superhero drama series had significantly drawn parallels to recent events and is very much true to ‘now’, with its prevalent reflection of racial violence. The gripping narrative of the masked individuals examines how a society goes through a fallout due to the ripple effects of a devastating cultural event.

Logan

Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine will forever remain a favorite and definitely irreplaceable. The tenth film in the X-Men series and the final installment in the Wolverine trilogy, Logan was the perfect farewell to the iconic character played by Hugh for 17 years. Inspired by Old Man Logan, the director and co-screenplay writer James Mangold vehemently captures the raw, brutal and intensely uncompromising aged mutant, that still leaves us in awe.Logan
