Order is hard, probably can change a lot from time to time.

I might be a sucker for the Cap Anthology. First and foremost I just really enjoyed the action set pieces in those movies, there are a lot of name character on named characters fights that are well choreographed, well motivated and properly power weighted.

Even knowing that it is a primary sin of Avengers and Infinity War and those are two of my favorite movies, I find it extremely boring when heroes with masks on fight 1000 nameless CGI monsters. I want action movies where the action has plot to it.


1 Infinity War
2 Civil War
3 Winter Soldier
4 Avengers
5 X Men
6 Dark Knight
7 Guardians V1
8 Blade
9 Spiderman
10 Iron Man

Find someone who loves you as much as Nadal Fan loves the Snyder Verse.

My favourites are Infinity War, Cap 2, and Iron Man from Marvel, Batman Begins and The Dark Knight from DC/WB, Spider-Man 2 and the Spider Verse from Sony, and X2 and Deadpool from Fox.

Could probably think of more if not relying on comic book characters. Does John Wick count as a superhero?

The question is, can NadalFan handle voting Justice League #1 every time all the way to the bottom?

How can Justice League be anywhere on this list, but not Road to Perdition, A History of Violence, Oldboy, Men in Black, Dick Tracy, The Suicide Squad, Dredd, Snowpiercer, American Splendor, Ghost World, Scott Pilgram vs. the World, and Akira if that counts.

Justice League isn't even the best Hack Snyder comic book movie. Man of Steel, 300, and Watchmen are all superior. Why does everyone keep pushing the Justice League agenda? That movie sucks regardless of what version you're watching, same as Batman v Superman. Those are just bad movies no matter what lens you watch them through.

I could watch Road to Perdition, Dredd, and A History of Violence every year... I suffered getting though Snyder's Justice League cut. It was an overlong train wreck of a movie.

Justice League has some really weird cult following that I'll never understand either. That movie was on par with that original Will Smith Suicide Squad madness. So bad. So so bad.

ZS Justice League is top 3 superhero movie for me, it's fantastic. Batman V Superman is up there as well. I think the action scenes look fantastic, those movies look miles better than anything coming out today. And I like they went darker with the R rating. You can have superhero movies that are lighter and I enjoy those too, but I appreciate he wanted it to be darker.

Does anyone know what's the best way to contact a MOD so they can create the poll? I put it in the title and first message, just wanted to make sure they see it.

I like the Snyderverse movies more than most.
I've always enjoyed DC when it is dark. To me that's the appeal of it and what it separates it from Marvel. And the darker the better.
It's also why I probably didn't enjoy the new Superman movie as much as others.

Yeah to be fair I liked the Snyder cut of JL as well and would have liked to see him finish his ideas. The theatrical version was a waste of time.

May as well throw Fantastic Four into the mix. For the first entry in the series it absolutely delivered on all fronts. Very minor things to quibble about, and absolutely enjoyable. I can't wait to see what direction they're heading in. On the level of Spider-Man and Batman Begins.

Also Spider-Man: No Way Home should be on the poll. It's way better than fricken Justice League lol. Deadpool as well.

A bunch of those are comic book movies, but not superhero movies. Dredd, Dick Tracy, The Suicide Squad should all be added, though.
