    Superheroes is for the most part a credible and serious look at the medium’s history, viewed through the filter of its surprisingly robust present.

    It’s required viewing for fanboys. But it also holds broader appeal for anyone curious about the evolution of the comic book genre, its good and bad guys, and its lasting legacy.

    The tone ranges from fun to scholarly as colorful drawings enliven the film.
