Long Forgotten Superhero Movies of the '90s

Long before the Marvel Cinematic Universe was established and adapting comic books for the big screen became a surefire way to attract audiences to the movie theater, superhero movies struggled to survive. The ’90s specifically were a rather difficult and strange time for the genre. Despite big studios wanting to cash in on the appeal of comic books from both children and adults alike, the execution of many superhero movies at the time did not pan out the way they were expected to. Hugely popular characters such as Batman, Spider-Man, and Captain America were sought after by studios who believed bringing fan-favorite characters to life would equal box office success.
