Come on! Those two movies are like, sitting next to each other, they're both these very dark, moody classics loosely based on superhero comics, but pushing things in a distinctly more gritty (but definitely still a bit silly) directions. Either neither of them is "really" a superhero movie, or both are.No way man. I watched it a couple of years ago. Apart from some of the SFX it absolutely rocks and definitely holds up. When did you last watch it? Blade 2 is a different story, sorry Guillermo.Personally I think answering this is hard, because what's a superhero movie? I think it has to have at least a superhero and actual superheroism, not merely heroism, which would count out both Blade and The Dark Knight for sure, both of which would be in competition something different - "best movie technically about a superhero" (I think Blade would win that competition because Snipes + Kristofferson + Dorff is somehow, amazingly greater than Bale + Ledger, despite the latter two being, in theory, better actors, and Ledger's performance great). Logan and The Batman would probably also be in competition there.But really "superhero movie", I think we've got to go with probably with one of:OG Reeves Superman (possibly soon to be superceded, we shall see)Batman (1989)Avengers: Endgame (I say this with hate, it's not a great movie but it is an amazing superhero movie, for like sheer overwhelming superheroing - that works emotionally too, for the most part)Or maybe a Spider-Man movie? Take your pick of many, including the Spider-Verses. If it's MCU Spider-Man, only No Way Home is truly a superhero movie.</blockquote>
