- ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’ (2021) Forget, just for a second, the torturous online campaigns and toxic fandoms, the studio-brass handwringing, the behind-the-scenes shenanigans and — please, in the name of Jor-El — the theatrical cut of what was designed to be the pinnacle of DC’s Extended Universe.
- ‘Ghost Rider’ (2007) Give it for the iconoclastic Nicolas Cage: As Johnny Blaze, he tumbles off a motorcycle and bursts into flames, twitching and emoting in agony amidst a mock-operatic musical score as he transforms into the macabre 1970s antihero.
- ‘Megamind’ (2010) This animated flick dares ask the question: “What if Lex Luthor was a big-headed, blue-skinned alien who had a thing for Lois Lane — and then won big because Superman just wasn’t all that into his job?”
- ‘Infra-Man’ (1975) Inspired by the runaway success of the Japanese TV show Ultraman, legendary Hong Kong movie producer Runme Shaw decided to come up with own story of a scientist (Danny Lee) who’s turned into a bionic hero with superstrength, laser-beam eyes and the ability to grow 20 stories tall — all the better to fight any kaiju that a recently awakened demon princess throws his way.

Directed by Matthew Vaughn
There’s no doubt about it: the X-Men film series has been through some pretty significant ups and downs over the years, since it all kicked off in 2000 (that original film being a pretty significant one for the overall superhero genre). 2006 and 2009 saw the releases of X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverinerespectively, with neither being particularly well-received, to say the least. As such, it fell on 2011’s X-Men: First Class to rejuvenate the series, and it largely succeeded,...
Directed by Joel Schumacher
Few people are going to label Batman Forever as their favorite Batman movie, but it might also be possible to call it a little over-hated/overlooked. It came out following Tim Burton’s two live-action films, and got a little campier with things, though not to the point of Batman & Robin, which also has some fans but more detractors (both were directed by Joel Schumacher). It’s visually engaging, Val Kilmer makes for an underrated Bruce Wayne/Batman, and Tommy Lee Jones and Jim Carrey are clea...
Directed by David F. Sandberg
While its sequel might’ve been disappointing, the original Shazam! from 2019 was well-received and perhaps even a pleasant surprise, coming out at a time when superheroes seemed particularly dominant within pop culture. The premise of Shazam!involves a young boy being able to turn into an adult superhero whenever he utters the titular phrase, leading to inevitable comedy and chaos as he balances an immature outlook on life with impressive physical powers. It sticks to what works when it comes...
Directed by Jon Watts
Most people were well-versed with the origin story of Peter Parker/Spider-Man by 2017, so it was a wise decision for Spider-Man: Homecoming to gloss over a lot of that stuff, with Parker’s powers already established and no need to see Uncle Ben die (yet again). Genre-wise, it also feels unique, because, on top of being an action film, this superhero movie also feels more like a coming-of-age movie than other Spider-Man movies(and a funny one at that). Tom Holland certainly feels more youthful...
Directed by Paul Verhoeven
Not everything in the overall RoboCopfranchise is gold, but the original movie from 1987 certainly is, and shines as an immensely satisfying blend of action, science fiction, and satire. Some may question its status as a superhero movie, but it does function as a darkly funny one, in many ways, following a man who’s reborn as the titular figure, losing much of his humanity but also becoming an unstoppable crime-fighting machine. RoboCop is ludicrously violent in a way that still packs a punch...
Directed by Sam Raimi
Sam Raimi is a director who’s intrinsically tied to the superhero genre, mostly thanks to a certain web-slinger whose movies will be mentioned a little later… but his first foray into the genre is less well-known. That movie is Darkman, with the titular character (AKA Dr. Peyton Westlake) not being based on a previously established comic book character, and instead being from a short story that Raimi himself had already written. Darkman is a strange kind of superhero movie, being a good deal...
Directed by Zack Snyder
The films of Zack Snyder can certainly be divisive, but he’s nevertheless made a mark on the superhero genre and has an undeniably distinctive style (some would say for better, some would say for worse). He’s also noteworthy for kicking off the ultimately short-lived DC Extended Universe with Man of Steel, a movie that confidently took the legendary character of Superman and revitalized him for the modern day. It's another origin story, so it's one that people are likely familiar with, but Sn...
