Thecomic book films task force is a collaboration betweenWikiProject Film andWikiProject Comics to develop articles about such films due to the ongoing industry trend and the popularity of such topics on Wikipedia. The task force is designed to pursue goals more specific than those of either WikiProject, and the goals are listed below.

• To establish style and content sub-guidelines through consensus that comply with Wikipedia's general policies and guidelines as well as theWikiProject Film guidelines
• To assess the reliability of sources and to assist in finding more reliable alternatives
• To identify and gather common sources for referencing (e.g., a visual effects website that often covers such films in its articles)
• To help procure free and/or non-free images for articles (e.g., screenshot to illustrate costume design)
• To notify other editors of ongoing discussion at an individual article, while being conscious ofgroupthink
• To identify incubated articles to prepare for rollout when the time comes
• To recruit new editors working on such articles into the task force and either WikiProject

• Ideal approach to crediting source material (e.g., do we credit Batman's creators in every film article?)
• Presentation of actors and roles in "Cast" section, like when to use or avoid table formatting
• Proper selection of film's poster image due to such films having many variations
• Preferred kind of non-free images (esp. with characters' film appearances shown in characters' articles)
• Appropriate and inappropriate information for an article's "Marketing" section, to ensure a NPOV
• Placement of developing project information in mainspace and in the Drafts space
