I can completely agree with all of those, but I have never really had faith in Hollyweird to get a comic character right. I find it better that way as I am rarely disappointed and am pleasantly surprised on those rare occasions when they actually do get it right.
I can agree with most of the list except the Tom Jane Punisher and Ang Lee Hulk.
ummm they got them all wrong imo... so not really a good list

Wow... really? You really cannot compare the Animated Series' masterful Two-Face with Jones' over the top wanna-be Joker Two-Face.| How the movie chose to interpret the character is all wrong; this Harvey Dent is more like an exaggerated neon version of The Animated Series' take. |
So, did they ever watch the Animated Series?
Also, they didn't include Arnold's Mr Freeze? Or maybe they felt it captured the essence of the Animated Series' Mr. Freeze perfectly? *rolls eyes*

You missed the adjectives "exaggerated" and "neon". Add those two words in front and you could stick pretty much any other version of Two-Face and have the sentence be fairly accurate.

*checks article* well, they nail MOST of the bad ones, yet still somehow miss mentioning Elektra or Catwoman. *rechecks* oh look, theyre slagging on GL. How... cute.
Thomas Jane Punisher...I love that punisher!
And Dolh Lungdren's Punisher wasn't nearly as bad as Arnold's Mr Freeze.
To be honest, I think the list is way off on quite a few of them.
Haven't seen The last Punisher movie, but this seems to be more of a list of things I wish they'd have changed about certain comic book movies, rather than Comic Chars Movies Got Wrong.
Bane, Deadpool (except for the early minutes as mentioned), Two Face, I can agree with (already forgotten a lot of the list)...
But Cyclops, while not given much and totally screwed over in X3 (and I thought he got a bit screwed over in X2 with a real lack of screen time), was done quite well imo. I never had a problem like many seem to have with Cyclops, but his character didn't seem so changed from the comics to make me think THEY GOT HIM WRONG!
