If you haven't seen it, Sky High was a film about superhero High school. This was before cinema was flooded with the DC / Marvel universe. It's a good little film.

This was before cinema was flooded with the DC / Marvel universe.

It definitely felt like there was a greater diversity of superhero films back before the MCU carpet-bombed cinemas - Sky High, Mystery Men, Hellboy, etc. You'd think the popularity of superheroes would have meant more cape movies and TV but it doesn't feel like it, although they may be just being drowned out - there's The Boys, The Crow, the Unbreakable trilogy, Extraordinary was good and Supacell is nearly here.

Don't forget Invincible!
