Favourite Comic Book Movie Of Each Year?

[jolldan]

Some of you have likely been watching comic book movies a lot longer than me back to the Christopher Reeve Superman days so I thought would make for a cool list to see what everyone's favourite of each year was from when you started watching them until now (I know there will probably be quite a few years that likely had no comic book films but just fill it in as best you can)

Here's my list.

1989: Batman
1990: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
1991: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II
1992: Batman Returns

2005: Batman Begins

[Deck Rickard]

This takes too much concentration to go back too far so I’ll only go back a little.

2025 - Superman
2024 - Deadpool & Wolverine
2023 - GOTG Vol. 3
2022 - The Batman
2021 - The Suicide Squad

Movies:

2020: Birds of Prey
2021: Zack Snyder's Justice League (I love The Suicide Squad nearly as much, nearly)
2022: The Batman
2023: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
2024: Deadpool & Wolverine
2025: Thunderbolt* (I don't care, I prefer Thunderbolts over Superman and F4, sue me)

TV shows:

2020: None
2021: Loki S01
2022: Peacemaker S01
2023: Loki S02
2024: The Penguin S01
2025: Daredevil: Born Again S01

Animation:

2020: Man of Tomorrow

2022: Batman and Superman: Battle of the Super Sons
2023: Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham
2024: X-Men '97
2025: None

 

[BlackFox]

I will do the last ten years, memory is going so they blend into one before that anyway:

2025: Fantastic Four: First Steps
2024: Deadpool & Wolverine
2023: Spiderman ATSV
2022: Morbius.......The Batman
2021: Shang-Chi LOTTR
2020: (None seen)
