Here, in painstakingly particular (and genius) order, are the Top 9 Best Live-Action Superhero Movies of all-time:
9. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
8. Blade (1998)
7. Batman: The Movie (1966)
6. X2 (2005)
5. Batman Returns (1992)
4. Iron Man (2008)
3. Batman (1989)
2. X-Men (2000)
1. Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)
I know what you must be thinking. "Nick," you're saying to yourself, "You are completely out of your @#$%ing mind." But go back and reread the list. The effect should sound something like, "Wait… this list is actually quite brilliant."
So here's the thing: I KNOW that people out there will disagree with me. If you think there's a better Top 9 Best Live-Action Superhero Movies, then post your version in the comments.
However, if you don't post your own version of this Top 9, I will consider my list as unchallenged and therefore the definitive list of Best Live-Action Superhero Movies by default.

Why the Top 9? Because 10 is too many and 9 is better. 3 X 3 = Awesome. Now that’s what I call math.
Yeah. I'm going to have to disagree with you on #1. My vote goes to Blue Crush. That was about super heroes, right?
I do not know if this list is supposed be ironic; it's possible, irony was still in vogue in 06. I kid, I kid. The following list is no way ironic. I enjoyed my life fully whilst watching these somewhat frowned-upon films.
In no particular order:
BATMAN & ROBIN: Saw it first day in the theater (along with every other goddamn Batman movie). Loved my life. I was 14 or 15, what can I say. Chill!
TMNT 2: THE SECRET OF THE OOZE: Saw this, standing room only, in the theater. When was the last time anyone had to STAND in a theater because the seats were all taken because everybody wanted to see the movie so goddamn bad? One of the first times I can remember the movie bringing in something really cool for like the last five minutes of the movie: Super Shredder. To be repeated in Episode III (Vader), Spider-Man 3 (Venom) and I'm sure some others.
DAREDEVIL: If it's on, I'll watch it. It's really bad but...well I have no excuse.
SPAWN: again, it's awful but I still have it on VHS. And do watch it occasionally.
THE FANTASTIC FOUR (Roger Corman version): Gloriously terrible, yet somehow better than the big-budget version. Bought it for like 40 bucks on ebay. Jeeeeeeeeesus.
Not really a top 9 but the girlfriend is bugging me to go to a play. Gotta go.
ya know what i want to see real bad? Steel.
EDIT: hahaha Netflix doesn't even acknowledge that Steel exists:
