What is the Best Animated Superhero Movie?

I believe that animated superhero movies are under-rated and deserve to be noticed as much as any of the superhero movies. I am here to answer the question, “What is the best animated superhero movie?”

I am a huge superhero nerd and have seen many of the superhero movies. When it comes to animated films, my favourite and by far the most well rounded movie is “Superman and Batman: Public enemies.”

There are many reasons why this movie is so good and I will state a few here:
1) The animation style is crisp and very appealing to the eye.
2) This movie is host to a plethora of superheroes and villains. I love seeing them all battling it out an all-out brawl for supremacy.
3) I love to see the fact that the two most well-known heroes of the DC universe are seen as criminals and are faced down by the same people they trusted and fought beside.

What is the best animated superhero movie? The answer to this is simple, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies takes the gold!

Which is the best of the Spiderman Movies?

There have been many Spiderman Movies created, but which one is the best? It is time for you to make the call!

In this blog post I will compare the Toby Maguire trilogy with the Andrew Garfield movie because we know it is the actors that make excellent superhero movies.

Toby Maguire plays an okay Peter Parker but misses the mark when confronted with the Venom symbiote, where he becomes the “Emo” stereotype. Also as Spiderman he doesn't really exhibit the cocky attitude very well. Don’t get me wrong he does have a little bit but not enough to make excellent Spiderman Movies. I will say I still enjoyed the trilogy of Toby Maguire Spiderman Movies. It had a fantastic amount of action and special effects.

Now for Andrew Garfield, he has become a great Spiderman. He has shown an excellent amount of sarcasm especially when he confronts the man with the knife and totally owns him. He has also shown how awkward Peter Parker was before he became Spiderman. The fight scenes in “The Amazing Spider-Man” were amazing and should be the envy of all superhero movies.

I have stated my opinion but I really want to hear what you have to say! Which is the best of the Spiderman Movies?

Top Spiderman Movies in the Past 10 Years

Spiderman Movies: (In order of least worldwide gross to highest worldwide gross)

4) The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) $752,216,557:
After the huge success of the other three Spider-man films had, you wouldn’t guess that a reboot of the series would have the lowest grossing of all four, but here we are. Granted, there were many things changed in this film when compared to the original three such as the actors, directors, age of Peter Parker and even the villain, but it is still hard to believe this would place last.

3) Spider-Man 2 (2005): $783,766, 341: Despite placing last of all the three original Spider-Man movies, this movie still made more than double the combined total of all the superhero movies (besides this one) that were also released in 2005 which included Blade: Trinity, and Hellboy.
2) Spider-Man (2002): $821,708,551:In my opinion, nothing beats the original. I find there is more room for character development in the original when the role/responsibility of becoming a superhero is first being taken up, and the original Spider-Man took advantage of that excellently. With that said, this original didn't actually have the highest worldwide gross.

1) Spider-Man 3 (2007): $890,871,626: Statistics shows that movies in this decade have a higher worldwide gross than last decade; however, the newest Spider-Man movie actually placed last. No, this is just a good movie. Who could forget its notorious scenes involving Venom and Peter’s change of attitude, as well as the powerful themes revisited from the first movie such as Sandman’s involvement behind the death of Ben which starts Spider-Man’s journey for justice?

All 4 movies did extremely well in the box office, but does money earned really justify most accurately the order in which the superhero movies are shown? You tell me.

Spiderman Movies, IRL

Pause and imagine for 60 seconds that you are the main character of the Spiderman movies or the main character of movies with Iron Man.

How much of what you imagined actually happened to Peter Parker or Tony Stark in their respective movies?

Take a look at how bad the Spiderman movies would be if it revolved around my life rather than Peter Parker’s.

  1. Like Peter, I would start with making some money through random odd jobs.
  2. Nobody I know is likely to be killed during a crime I end up feeling partly responsible for. Ergo, forget justice, let’s just keep making money.
  3. Due to no distinct villain like a Green Goblin or Lizard causing pleas for a hero, and my stupidly carefree personality; there are only so many buildings I would be able to enjoy swinging around before I end up being discovered and realistically feared by most people.
  4. Feeling bad, I begin to desire to fight for justice. Unfortunately, there are no distinct villains like The Green Goblin, rather unknown/secretive criminals who hide. I would try to help police when I can, but there won’t always be something for me to do, so I’ll keep making money.


This is my incredibly short and vague description of what would likely happen if I were to star in The Superhero Movies such as Spiderman Movies. What would your movie be like?
