Where did the superhero movie genre peak? Was it when Tony Stark sacrificed himself in Avengers: Endgame? When The Dark Knight introduced Heath Ledger’s Joker? When countless Spider-Men variants joined forces from across the Spider-Verse?
Arguably, the answer goes back to a movie that didn’t need any comic book source material to tell a compelling story. It still feels like it’s in a league of its own 20 years later, but it’s about to get another sequel... with a big change behind the scenes.
