The beginnings of two-dimensional animation are considered to be the roots of the art form and have inspired triumphs for future generations of animators. Animation has represented itself across broad reaches of entertainment media and has spanned across the spectrum of pop culture. Video games, film, television, and other media have utilized animation to the most of its power.

The comic book industry has excelled since its inception and has promised that it will continue to flourish as time carries on. Prominent publishing houses have dominated the genre both in print and in live-action as the DC Extended Universe and the Marvel Cinematic Universe have possessed the box office for decades.

While animated superhero movies are finally being given the recognition they deserve, these select few remain to be the best.
