Top 10 Best Superhero TV Shows

The Top Ten

  1. Batman: The Animated Series

    Batman: The Animated Series is an American animated television series based on the DC Comics superhero Batman. It originally aired on Fox Kids from 1992 to 1995 and was developed by Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski.

    I remember watching this a lot.

  2. Daredevil

    The best of Marvel.

    Best superhero TV show right now

  3. The Flash (2014)

    The Flash is an American superhero television series developed by Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg, and Geoff Johns that airs on The CW. It is based on the DC Comics character Barry Allen, a crime scene investigator with superhuman speed. The show premiered on October 7, 2014, and is part of the Arrowverse... read more

    The crew converts words from comic books into a live action TV show in a great way. Not only are the stories and characters accurate, but they are displayed in a way that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

    It can be a little too cheesy at times and then too emotional at other times. But with great characters, stories, and special effects, CW's The Flash is great anyway.

    Amazing. Simply the best. It provides humor, action, and drama. It is the ultimate hybrid TV show.

  4. Smallville

    Smallville is an American television series developed by writer-producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, based on the DC Comics character Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. The show aired from 2001 to 2011 and follows the young Clark Kent before he becomes Superman. It ran for ten seasons... read more

    Hands down the best show (not just superhero show) ever in my opinion! It shows Clark as a teen with teenage problems and weaknesses. It shows Lex's good side. It's a show with problems that some can relate to, such as feeling different (not necessarily to the extent Clark does) than others. And the theme song is amazing! Also, why is Supergirl even on here? That show got old really fast. It's way too repetitive. Smallville for the win!

    EDIT: Okay, after watching Lost, I can now confidently say I have a new favorite.

    This is one of my personal favorite shows ever, not just superhero shows. The whole show is phenomenal, from Tom Welling's Clark Kent to Michael Rosenbaum's Lex Luthor. So much nostalgia in the show's theme song.

  5. Teen Titans

    Teen Titans is an American animated television series created by Glen Murakami and based on the DC Comics superhero team of the same name. It originally aired on Cartoon Network from 2003 to 2006, with its first two seasons also airing on Kids' WB. The series follows a team of young superheroes as they... read more

  6. Spider-Man (1994)

  7. Arrow

The series aired on The CW from 2012 to 2020 and is based on the DC Comics character Green Arrow. It was the first show in the Arrowverse, a shared universe that includes several other... read more

    Take out season 4 and you have a near perfect show. Seasons 1, 2, and 5 especially are incredible! This is better than The Flash, although I like both personally.

    Excluding season 4, this is probably the best superhero show I've watched!

    Best superhero show yet.

  8. Justice League Unlimited

    Justice League is an American animated superhero television series produced by Warner Bros. Animation. It originally aired on Cartoon Network from November 17, 2001, to May 29, 2004.

  10. Gotham

    Gotham is an American crime drama television series developed by Bruno Heller and based on characters published by DC Comics. The show features characters from the Batman franchise, focusing primarily on James Gordon and Bruce Wayne.... read more

    Honestly, this show is perfect. Some say it unsubtly references Batman things and thinks it's clever for doing so, but those people don't give it enough time to show how great it is. It's given us some of the best iterations of characters like Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, and Mr. Freeze, as well as characters people never talked about before like Mad Hatter (who, by the way, is perfect) and Professor Strange. It also has great original characters like Fish Mooney, (technically) Jerome, and ahem* season 4 spoilers ahem* (it's confusing).

    This really shows Gotham City the way it should be seen. Although there are some things (Barbara) that aren't great, Gotham is overall a great part of the Batman universe.
