20 Best Superhero Movies Since The Dark Knight
11. Wonder Woman
The first critical success in the troubled DC Extended Universe, Wonder Woman basically saved the greater DCEU franchise from cancellation. Considering that it's among the best superhero origin stories ever put to film, that's not exactly surprising.
It gives us one of the most heart-warming and loveable superheroes in the genre's history and not only puts her in the centre of some absolutely masterful action scenes, but gives her a heart-rending, superbly written hero's journey that is just so damn satisfying to watch.
It does everything a superhero origin story should and even though many of Wonder Woman's narrative beats have been seen many times before, the movie executes them so well and with such heart that they feel completely fresh. It's also got what is easily the greatest superhero movie love story of all time.
Sure, the villains suck and the tone is occasionally inconsistent but other than that, Wonder Woman freaking soars. The less said about 2020's sequel, the better though.
