Probably the Zorro franchise.
With Hopkins playing a continuation of Fairbanks', last one wasn't great, but these somewhat work as a period "superhero" legacy Trilogy.
And with the extended ending Alejandro(Banderas) passing the mantle to his son Joaquin.
Pretty much:
Mask of Zorro
Captain America(1stA),
The Rocketeer
The Shadow
Watchmen (although admittedly until others indicated it, I didn't first come to mind as period film since I read it in the 80s)
& The Phantom are my favorites.

And since the OP allowed for it and opened the door to all the pulp proto-superheroes, I'll add Solomon KaneOkay, technically it was a pulp novel series .... first. But [it] did have a comic series before the film.
