Favourite Superhero Film?

What's everyone's favourite superhero film?
Personally for me, it's a tie between Iron Man and The Dark Knight. Also a big fan of Wolverine films.

Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo, and Kick Ass are mine! ฅ՞•ﻌ•՞ฅ

My mom would bring us to watch most of the Marvel/DC movies as they came out, but I've never been a giant fan of them! I really liked Iron Man, End Game, Guardians of the Galaxy, Deadpool, and Thor though.

I forgot about Kick Ass. That's a good one
Shout out for Watchmen as well. I remember going to the cinema in 2003 to see Hulk. Must have been the first superhero film I saw on the big screen.

Spider-Man

Spider-Man 2

The Amazing Spider-Man

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Iron Man

The Avengers

Doctor Strange (and its sequel)

Black Widow

X-Men: First Class

Logan

The Dark Knight Trilogy

Wonder Woman

Birds of Prey

The Batman

Suicide Squad (2021 version)

A shout-out not only for Unbreakable (starring Bruce Willis & Samuel L. Jackson, written & directed by M. Night Shyamalan), but also to Hancock (starring Will Smith, Charlize Theron and Jason Bateman, directed by Peter Berg) which was released in 2008 several years after Unbreakable.

The Incredibles - just the first film. The second one can be thrown into the incinerator.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1 & 2. The third one and the Michael Bay films can be thrown into the incinerator.

What else?...

The Avengers franchise.
Captain America: Civil War.
The Batman.
The Suicide Squad.

Batman: The Movie (1966)

I thought the first Iron-man (2008) film was surprisingly good.

The Ant-man (2015) film was fun. Very quotable.

First Avengers film (2012) was good.

Just rewatched the 1st Christopher Reeves Superman film (1978) and actually liked it a bit better than when I was a kid. Though it aged well. When I was younger I was disappointed that the big screen Superman and Lois weren’t like the comics or the old TV series. I still think the best Superman film I have seen is the animated 1941 Max Fleischer shorts. Enjoyed Superman and the Mole Men (1951) too.

I am enjoying the tv series The Flash (2014 Grant Gustin). Also the Tick (2017).

Best "little known" superhero film might be "The Rocketeer" (1991)

Pre-superman/batman Superhero: (Mask, Cape, Secret Identity) The Mark of Zorro (1940)

Super hero movies

1. Original Superman with Christopher Reeve
2. Any of the Spiderman Movies
3. The First Avengers
4. The Fantastic 4 (2005)
6. The Incredibles 1 and 2

I'm going to select X-Men because it came out this century, and I got goosebumps when Wolverine's claw first appeared. I've enjoyed all the X-Men films.

After reading Summer_Twilight's entry, I was going to be mischievous (also known as a scamp, or an A**hole) and say the Original Superman from 1948 with Kirk Alan. It played in the theater so technic^ally (???) it was a film, but it was a actually fifteen part serial. I actually like the superhero serials of the 1940's. They are all low budget, but they are fun. However, they are probably more like a television serial. There was also a couple Batman serials.

But I would select X-Men. The 1960's Batman film would have been my choice, but like I said, X-Men was from this century.

1941 Max Fleischer Superman (a.k.a. Superman: The Mad Scientist) still has that beat by about 7 years. It was in color and the special effects were better.



(Yes it was animated, but they used Rotoscoping and traced live actors on film so there was a real-life Superman actor involved). It was nominated for Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film (then called "Academy Award for Best Short Subject, Cartoon". A "Short" or a "Short Subject Film" is still a film. And it definitely was shown in theatres.

"Short Subject" redirects here.

[ . . . ]

A short film is a film with a low running time. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences defines a short film as "an original motion picture that has a running time of not more than 40 minutes including all credits".[1] In the United States, short films were generally termed short subjects from the 1920s into the 1970s when confined to two 35 mm reels or less, and featurettes for a film of three or four reels. "Short" was an abbreviation for either term.

( Also being a "scamp" )

You can see Kirk Alan clips here (and other places):

1.) Avengers Infinity War
2.) Thor Ragnarok
3.) Civil War
4.) Dark Knight Trilogy
5.) Wanda Vision

Honorable Mention: Wonder Woman (The first movie)

I've only seen one. It was Spiderman: Something (I forget the number). It's the one with Sally Field as his aunt, and a pretty girl as his girlfriend. He's an orphan. My daughter loves this movie and wanted me to watch it with her a couple of years ago. I actually kind of liked it / followed it until the ending where as usual I tuned out because it devolved into a big noisy fight with special effects and explosions.

That stuff always gives me a headache so I just want them to shut the f up, get it over with, and die.
