But it’s position in the number three slot is an example of the film’s cultural longevity. It’s hard to be certain if The Dark Knight will remain in the top 5 of this list in the years to come. While The Dark Knight was certainly a massive phenomenon when it was released ten years ago, it’s position is also helped by the boatloads of money that the film made from its IMAX screenings. The Dark Knight (2008)Įven though it is often considered to be the best superhero film ever made, The Dark Knight is ranked third on this list, but ultimately settling at #32 on the all-time list. But suffice to say that it’s not likely to catch up to the next entry on our list anytime soon. Infinity War hasn’t even been out for a year, so it’s ultimate position has yet to be determined. Even though Avengers 4 has the potential to surpass the box office grosses of its predecessor, there’s a good chance that Infinity War could remain in the top 5 of this list for a very long time. It should come as no surprise that Avengers: Infinity War would make an appearance on this list, coming in at #35 of all-time. Over 15 years after it’s release, Spider-Man still stands the test of time both in terms of box office stature and revolutionary filmmaking craft. Even though the release of X-Men two years prior paved the path for the first entry of Sam Rami’s spider-trilogy, Spider-Man was a the first true superhero hit of the century. The 40 th highest grossing superhero film of all time is 2002’s Spider-Man. Although it’s box office grosses are all but finalized, its position on this list sure is…at least for the time being. Incredibles 2 is currently the highest grossing animated film of all time but number 2 in our hearts.
Incredibles 2 (2018)Īs the first film released this year to appear on this list, Incredibles 2 currently sits at #51 on the all-time rankings. The merchandising frenzy that led up to this film was so intense that it even led to fans stealing posters for the film from various bus stations before it’s release.

Although Donner’s Superman proved that a big-budget superhero movie could be a massive success, it was Batman that truly demonstrated the genre’s financial potential. Batman (1989)Ĭoming in at #56 is Tim Burton’s seminal superhero flick, Batman. As the first direct sequel to a modern superhero film and the oldest sequel on this list, Spider-Man 2 serves as the high bar for sequels, even to this day. Even though Spider-Man 2 is often overlooked with the advent of the MCU, it’s easy to forget that this film was a huge deal when it came out. Landing at the #63 position in the all-time rankings is Sam Rami’s super-sized sequel with Spider-Man 2. Either way, there’s a sneaking suspicion that this film will eventually fall down the rankings in 5 to 10 years. But that’s an arguable point, depending on how you feel about the film. There’s no doubt that the main reason why this film even makes an appearance on this list is because of the success of it predecessor. Only a few slots ahead in the all–time rankings at #71 is The Dark Knight Rises. Considering that the film remains on this list 40 years after it’s release demonstrates exactly how important it was for the genre.
The film made you “believe that a man could fly,” and Superman’s placement on this list is only a testament to that. Coming in at number #73 on the list is the granddaddy of them all, Richard Donner’s Superman.
