But what a ride we had with this one regardless! Despite its success, there has sadly been no direct sequel to The Lego Batman Movie in the ensuing years, likely due to Universal acquiring the Lego franchise rights in the meantime. There are quite a few gleeful Batman fans around the world who would argue that Chris McKay’s The Lego Batman Movie is the GBFOAT, and what my entry into this superhero listicle presupposes is: maybe they’re right? The computer-animated superhero comedy certainly came out of left field in 2017 to continue the adventures of the Will Arnett-voiced cowl-botherer from The Lego Movie, and it rinsed the box office to the tune of $312 million. But we hope you agree that this has been a time like no other for masked avengers. There are some obvious favorites and a few surprises, including in what’s omitted. Rather than letting one single opinion shine, we polled our entire staff and thousands of you dear readers to determine what is the best superhero movie of the last 15 years, and which have stood the test of time.
