Best Theatrically released Superhero Movies for Kids

[Brue]

I chose these films because I have kids under 10 and I teach fourth grade.
These movies I find appropriate and the kids are entertained.

for 10 and unders: In order of release

Batman (1966)
Superman III (one is too slow for today's little kids, 2 is too much lois lane love and a little scary)
Supergirl (my girls love this but for teh general pop it would not make the list)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie
Batman and Robin
Steel
The Incredibles
Fantastic Four
Underdog

Though many of these movies are D U M B kids don't care as much about plot sense and believeable dialogue. They want to see colorful heroes in action.

15 more for tweens and teens:

Superman II
Batman 89
Fantastic Four
The Mask
Batman Forever
X-Men
X2
Spider-Man
Spider-Man 2
Incredible Hulk
Iron Man 2
Thor
Captain America: TFA
Avengers
Amazing Spider-man

Rocketeer and the Phantom?

Growing up my two favorites were Batman and Robin and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the movie! also watched TMNT, Bolt was a good Disney one like the Incredibles.

i loved rocket and liked phantom.

When I used to work after school care, I brought the '66 Batman movie to school one day and my class loved it! After that it was "Did you bring the Batman movie today?" Too funny!

the Incredibles

I just wish they would make a second one.

[Figuremod73]

I have to go with The Incredibles just because I feel it was meant just for kids. Of course, alot of adults liked it to.

Rocketeer and the Phantom?

I think so, too.

What about The Shadow?

Regarding the Incredibles: They had to wrangle with DC licensing for the film; I assume that's why Disney did not milk a follow-up cartoon or sequel.
