Comic book movies that you didn't know were based on comics.

What are some movies that you have seen that you didn't realize were based on comic books until after seeing them? I can think of a few. Here's my list:
-Wanted
-Kick-Ass
-2 Guns

There are some that I found out were based on comics before seeing them, though I have still yet to read them, or read them fully:
-Red
-Bullet To The Head

Some guy I knew didn't know that "Surrogates" was based on a comic book.

What are your examples?

[Danimal]

I didn't know Bullet to the Head and Surrogates were comic-based til your post.


The only other one I can think of is The Road to Perdition.

"I didn't know Men in Black was based on a comic book. Although it is a rather loose adaptation...

[Eunös ✈]

The Losers

[Red Impact]

When they first came out, A History of Violence and The Road to Perdition

[Apricots And A Pear Tree]

The Avengers.

[Manute Bol]

30 Days of Night

I will be honest about this: "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World." I read that prior to when I first saw it in theaters that it was based on a comic series, but I didn't know about it until around the time it came out. I also noticed that it wasn't your typical comic series as it was a series of manga books, not a series of regular comic books before being made into a trade paperback.

The Mask

That one was a major surprise for me. It took me quite a while for me to finally realize that "The Mask" was based on a comic book.

Here's another for me:



Also, though I have still yet to watch it fully:

[DSR]

Technically, Red Sonja. The movie and comic book Red Sonja is kind of a different character from Robert E. Howard's Red Sonya (whose story took place during the Renaissance).

[Amazing Kitsune]

For the longest time, Duck Tales: The Movie. I had no idea that Scrooge McDuck was a famous and incredibly well-written comic book character before he was ever really featured or fleshed out in Ducktales.

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

Swamp Thing and the Spirit for me

[dav]

Blade. To be honest, I don't recall this ever being advertised as a comic book film at all and instead just emphasised Wesley Snipes killing Vampires.

[Fundertaker]

Richie Rich.

[Juice]

Of the mentioned only bullet to the head

[DASH 243✅]

did not know wanted was based on a comic until now.
