I take a course at college that involves graphic films (could involve novels as well). I have to write a paper (argumentative, trying to prove some sort of point), and it relates to graphic films. I'm not too familiar with the genre, so I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions on what to write about. I prefer it be something about Spiderman or The Dark Knight, because those are two graphic films that I am very familiar with. But I am open to all suggestions. Thanks for the help in advance, guys.

By 'graphic', do you mean graphic novel adaptations? If so, I'd opt for stuff like Watchmen and Sin City. I would also consider more fun stuff like The Mask too, but that's just me.

Do you mean graphic as in based off of visual artwork, or graphic as in explicit portrayals of violence and sex?

Sorry, should have been more specific. I meant graphic films such as Spiderman, Superman, The Dark Knight, Watchmen, Road to Perdition, etc. It can be based off of a novel, but it does not have to be. I'm trying to think of actual topics to write about. But I can't think of a convincing argument of some sort that involves any of these movies.

focus on the differences between the novel and the movies. Maybe something about how much a person is allowed to "change" things for the movie. Something like that?

Watchmen, 300, or The Dark Knight. I think Watchmen would be th best out of all of those to do a report on.

Well it's supposed to be on a specific film or novel. So say an example of a topic could be like, "Why the Watchmen film was not true enough to its novel form". Not saying that it wasn't, I'm just using that as an example. So I'm trying to think of an argumentative thesis like that. Although I want to use The Dark Knight, Spiderman, or Superman, since I've seen all three of those. |

Due the Dark Knight, and argue that the source material can be changed drastically, yet the tone and substance can remain the same. Use as your source material the film, Batman:The Killing Joke, Batman: The man who Laughs, and Batan: The Long Halloween. |

If its novels, then One Flew Over the Cuckoos nest or Fight Club, both you could find alot to say about
If were talking comics here, Sin City, Iron Man, The Dark Knight, The Crow.

Just Batman, so you couldn't really compare it to anything. Same with Spiderman and Superman. |
