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...

1994 was a good year for movies in general, but it was also a notably great 12-month period for Jim Carrey. The actor exploded in popularity to a considerable extent, with lead roles in three movies that performed well financially and are still up there with his most well-known: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, Dumb and Dumber, and The Mask. The last of those is perhaps the strangest of the bunch, standing alongside the other two by being a comedy, but also functioning as an offbeat superhero movi...

A charming film that also goes to show how science fiction doesn’t always need to be futuristic, The Rocketeerdelivers an old-school adventurous spirit and feels rather quaint today, given how prevalent the superhero genre’s become. It’s set during World War II, and involves a pilot becoming an instrumental figure for America in the war against Nazi Germany. Notably, he gets a rocket-pack that allows him to fly around at a great speed, and from there, he takes part in a simple yet thoroughly...

Chronicle takes the found footage format and pushes it in an interesting direction, not being a found footage horror movie but, in actuality, a found footage superhero origin story… in a way. The plot involves three high school students learning that they’re developing strange powers, which at first is thrilling, but then becomes harrowing when one of the three starts enjoying the power he’s been given a little too much. It's presented in a way that won’t appeal to those sensitive to motion s...
Directed by W.D. Richter
The textbook definition of a 1980s sci-fi cult classic, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimensioncan also count itself as an offbeat, charming, and quite funny superhero film. The titular character is a man of many talents, and he runs a gang called the Hong Kong Cavaliers, all of whom band together to defend Earth from alien invaders that hail from the (also titular) 8th dimension. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimensionis wild and more than a bit silly (i...

- ‘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.
