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.

Worth it just for Bruce Campbell to revisit his role as Sonic Boom

I'd completely forgotten he was in this!

Huh, I always thought it was a DCOM, but apparently it did get a cinematic release. I don't know if it really needs a sequel, but it was a damn enjoyable film.

I enjoyed it and, while there was no great demand for a sequel at the time, all the kids have grown up, so you get the chance to do a next generation/passing of the baton type story. If they do it right, it could be worth a watch.

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!

I did. πŸ˜• In my defence, I wasn't being comprehensive as I could drag up a better list than that.

That'd be fun. Have it be the characters all grown up with kids of their own kind of thing.
