Cinema10 superhero movies that you didn’t even remember existed

Underwear over the pants, flowing cover and secret identity, the Superman It is one of the most celebrated superheroes of all and its new version, now with signature of James Gunn (Galaxy Guardians: Volume 3), hits theaters this Thursday, July 10th. But not every superhero gets a prominent place in the memory of the public like the Azulão.

Among forgotten productions, dubious adaptations and obscure characters, many heroes films fell into the limbo of entertainment. Some were box office failures, others just too weird to be taken seriously. Rolling Stone Brazil Remember 10 superhero movies that you probably deleted from memory or did not even remember that they existed:

1. Steel – The Man of Steel (1997)

The basketball star Shaquille O’Neal Wears a metal armor to combat crime in a DC movie that no one has asked. Mal directed and without charisma, he became synonymous with a bomb of the 1990s.

2. The judge (1995)

Sylvester Stallone (Rocky, a fighter) was quoted to live Superman – check out our list about actors who also almost lived the hero CLICKING HERE – But it turned out to be the futuristic judge of 2000 ad. Tom tacky, the movie did not convince, yielding the Sly An indication to the worst actor gold raspberry.

3. The shadow (1994)

Alec Baldwin (Ghosts have fun) tries to get a Noir hero with mental powers. Despite the good setting, the movie was forgotten even by fans of pulp heroes. Is it time for a new version? Hello, universal!

4. The ghost (1996)

The Canastrão Billy Zane (Titanic) Wears the famous purple stick of the hero created in 1936. Despite the nostalgic appeal, the film wreck with shallow script and old -fashioned aesthetics.

5. Howard, the superhero (1986)

Yes, this Marvel talking duck that has already appeared in a post scene of Guardians of the Galaxy has a solo movie – produced by George Lucas! With bizarre humor, strange look and a romance scene with a human (!), Turned cult of time.

6. Rocketeer (1991)

Before the Iron Man, a hero with Jetpack was already flying through the heavens. Produced by Disney and based on the comics of Dave Stevens, Rocketeer It had a retro charm and a neat look, but it didn’t take off at the ticket offices. Despite having gained fans over the years, he was forgotten in the whirlwind of more modern overproductions.

7. The green beetle (2011)

Seth Rogen (The studio) Try to mix action and comedy in an adaptation without much breath. Even with Christoph Waltz (Bastards English) In the cast, the result was forgettable.

8. Supergirl (1984)

Helen Slater (Boyfriends by chance) interprets Superman’s cousin in a derivative who tries to surf the success of Christopher Reeve (Superman – The Movie). The children’s script and the weak direction buried any chance of success.

9. Spawn: The hell soldier (1997)

Classic of SBT afternoons, the image of Image Comics promised to be the definitive antihero. The film, however, failed the effects, direction and reception, but every now and then it appears in the news with promises to win a reboot.

10. Condorman – The Persarman (1981)

This one will know. Disney production (!) About a cartoonist who becomes superhero in the midst of a spy mission. Weird, pastelão and completely out of radar even to hardcore fans.
