Comic-book movies have come a long way over the last 50 years, but Marvel and DC’s big guns mark a pivotal month for the genre

Moving over to DC Films would have been a lateral move with mammoth expectations. Whereas James Gunn's ascendance to DC Films co-CEO with producer Peter Safran is more of a promotion, as he only ran a corner of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The last solo Superman movie, 2013's Man of Steel, opened to $116 million domestically, while 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice made $166 million at the US box office over its opening weekend, breaking records for a Superman movie. Will Gunn's take on Big Blue match up?

After seeing Superman in theaters, fans who want to keep the comic book storytelling going should get one of these superhero role playing games to the table.

Marvel's latest (and final) trailer for Fantastic Four First Steps takes a retro approach to showcasing action and powers.
