Movies On The Radio: Superhero Films That Dominated

A beefy weightlifter wearing a Superman tank top appears to roar as he flexes his arm muscles during a rep.

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s… a superhero movie! The summer blockbuster lineup isn’t complete without one. But which Superhero flicks have filled you with admiration, and which have made you wish you had the power to turn back time?

Maybe you’re loyal to the Marvel or Avengers dynasties, feel empowered when the normal guy saves the world, or get a chuckle out of quirkier heroes.

With a much-anticipated Wonder Woman film just unleashed on the American public, we want to hear your picks for Superhero or Shero movies that soared or splattered.

Send an email with your pick to sot@wunc.org or tweet at us with #sotmovie and you could be part of our next show!
