Batman Begins. X-Men.

 

[Jeremy Ordan]

There's only one movie that could adequately prepare you for Hero fest... Snakes on a Plane

 

[Brandon Rice]

LOL! Right on Yankee!

 

[Matthew B. Moore]

Who are the heroes that influenced you the most? Your film will be it's best if you stick to what you know and do what feels right.

Unbreakable for some, the Fantastic 4 for others.

Lobo to Shane to the Flash

You gotta watch Meteor Man. The Costume changing scene. Classic. What not to do for a superhero.

 

[OregonDank]

Conan is a classic

 

[krestofre]

Um ... Richard Donner's Superman anyone?

 

[ExtremeSleuth]

X-Men 2, Spiderman 1 & 2, Batman, Batman Begins...

 

[Z B Brox]

The Incredibles.

 

[Captain KickAss]

The Punisher - Not the new one, but the one with Dolph Lundgren

 

[Robert Eldon]

Darkman.

 

[MattC]

Spawn

 

[Kholi]

Donnie Darko, then Donnie Darko Director's Cut... in that order if you haven't seen it.

Interesting Kholi... while Donnie Darko is one of my favorite films, it didn't come to my mind as a "super hero" film. hmmmm

Last action hero

Donnie Darko is definitley one of those movies that stretches the line. I think the name helps.

I'm gonna add another Brad Bird movie: The Iron Giant.

Perhaps the "Artie: The Strongest Man in the World" episode of Pete & Pete?

The TV show 'Roswell' isn't known as a superhero show, but it's got aliens with superhuman powers that are used for good.
