These productions range from major franchise tentpoles to comedic, animated, and gritty narratives, often blending with other genres like heist or sci-fi epics. While many superhero films target a family audience, some contain mature themes and violence that make them inappropriate for children.
The past two decades have witnessed a substantial rise in the popularity of superhero movies, resulting in a diverse array of films within the genre. This expansion includes various types of productions, from expansive franchise tentpoles such as "Avengers: Endgame" to comedic superhero projects like "The LEGO Batman Movie." Animated classics like "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" and gritty stories such as "Batman Begins" have also emerged.
