Pretty easy really and contains the titles you would expect from a national newspaper but might distract you for five minutes.

All but three have been made into movies, so this is pretty much a definitive list.

I count 4. Maus, Jerusalem, Bone and Dark Knight. Which film have I missed?

I'm not sure I agree on that one. It's a film with the same lead character as the comic, and there are some points of similarity, but it's far from a straight adaptation. The comic deals with a much older retired Batman and the plot is very much different. Having said that, if I apply my own criteria LXG wouldn't count for the same reasons (and because it's shit).

Did you actually click on that link? I think you're talking about the Nolan/Bale Dark Knight Rises but Link Prime is talking about the animated adaptation of Dark Knight Returns, which is a pretty straight adaptation by all accounts.

Ah. I did click on the link, but the wikipedia page doesn't exist and is just a placeholder with the title so I was none the wiser. Now I am. Thanks.

A Link that leads nowhere!

Is that out for the 3DS yet?  I do love some Zelda.

Ten out of Ten at first attempt. Woo-hoo!

Same. Oh and the DKR cartoon is quite good, though not if you are children brought up on Brave and the Bold (which is very good too).

10 out of 10.

You've never seen Will Ferrell's Maus? "Hitler - I know him!".

9/10; would have been 10/10 (honest) if I'd gone with my gut instinct for Persopholis but I confused it with the film poster.
