Superhero Movie List? (1 Viewer)

[Ruz-El]

I would consider Zorro, Green Hornet, etc more as Pulp heroes, as they predate comics, and therefor superheroe in general, if you use the bases of Superman being the first true superhero, which is probably debateable.

A fine list! American Splendor is a must have add-on to the non-superhero list. I'd also add:
Tales From The Crypt
Vault Of Horror
Creepshow
Creepshow 2

These were all inspired from the 1950's EC Comics line.

I can't think of any other comic book origin stuff unless you go the Manga route, which would probably quadruple this list.

Well Eric, that darn IMDb list at least missed the upcoming Electra film as far as I can see.

 

[Eric Howell]

well, bugga, the keywords for Elektra(2005):
* assassin
* based-on-comic
* martial-arts
* resurrection
* vigilante
* violence
* marvel-comics
* based-on-comic-book
* marvel-entertainment
* spin-off
* dark-heroine

Apparently she's a dark heroine, but not a superhero... according to the good people at imdb, lol. If this is indeed not true, and the imdb is infact wrong, the world as I know it might just collapse in on itself. :p

I'm still confused about "Daddy Day Care" being listed as a Superhero movie.

 

[Jason Seaver]

Didn't you see the kid dressed as The Flash? Probably enough to get the movie marked as vaguely involving superheroes.

 

[Robert Floto]

I wouldn't list The Shadow as "inspired by comic books and graphic novels." I know that there was some appearances in pulp fiction, but isn't most of its mythology based on radio drama?

 

[Mark X]

The Shadow radio show was lifted from the pulps, where Street and Smith first created the charcter. Radio utlized the "invisible" angle a little more.

The movie was actually a fusing of the radio and pulp version, one in which I believe they did an incredible job.
