How much do superhero movies relate to the comics?

I’ve loved so many recent superhero movies (like Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, Spiderman 1-3, the two Fantastic Four movies, the two Iron Man movies, etc) and after seeing these, I started becoming interested in the comics. Is there much relevance? Are there any specific issues for Batman, Spiderman, Fantastic Four, and Iron Man that especially relate to the movies?

Well it varies from film to film, for example if you read Frank Millers, Batman Year One, you will find it similar to Batman Begins in some ways, you can see where the story line came from etc. however other films can be completely irrelevant or lots of parts added together. the film Watchmen was very close to the story line of the Graphic novel for example, with parts of the script taken from it too. You just need to read the comics and you will see parallels, alterations and twists all over the place. for example Iron Man 2, the character Backlash (or whiplash?) ((Ivan Dranko)) was a culmination of several enemies of Ironman from the comics..

Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness $4.53 There’s a lot to be said for continuity and high concept, and Coheed and Cambria have invented an elaborate geeky parallel sci-fi world that spread over four CDs.
