- ‘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.

Director: Joe Johnston
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...
Director: Josh Trank
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...
Director: 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...
Director: Takashi Miike
Another unique superhero movie, Zebraman comes from the mind of Takashi Miike, the relentless and prolific Japanese filmmaker best known for controversial movies like Audition and Ichi the Killer. Zebraman, however, sees Miike tone down some of his more alarming or disturbing sensibilities, making something that feels like it could generally appeal to people of most (not all) ages, so long as such people also possess suitably strange senses of humor. Zebraman follows a man going through a mid...
Director: Warren Beatty
Starring Warren Beatty, Madonna, and a surprisingly Oscar-nominated Al Pacino, Dick Tracy could well claim to have one of the most impressive casts in the history of comic book/superhero movies. Beyond that main three, the cast also includes the likes of Mandy Patinkin,Dustin Hoffman, Dick Van Dyke, Paul Sorvino, James Caan, Kathy Bates, and Catherine O'Hara, to name just a few. The look of Dick Tracy is similarly impressive, bringing comic book styling and sensibilities to the format of a li...
Director: Destin Daniel Cretton
While its action might not quite be great enough for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings to feel like an all-time great martial arts movie, it was cool to see a film from the MCU take inspiration from such films. The titular hero is incredibly talented at hand-to-hand combat, leading to plenty of great action set pieces that are melded well with various fantastical elements that also serve to distinguish the film from most other MCU entries. On top of all that, Shang-Chi and the Legend...
Director: Zack Snyder
Violent and brooding in an uncompromising way, 2009’s Watchmen feels like a Zack Snyder movie through and through, meaning fans of the director’s style will have a blast, and his detractors will likely remain unconverted. It’s an adaptation of the famed comic book series of the same name, and though it doesn’t prove as successful as a deconstruction of superhero-centered stories, it still at least touches upon that side of things. Watchmen’s potential thematic shortcomings are easier to overl...
