The first appearance of a DC film in this list is courtesy of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which features the first on-screen meeting of the two most popular DC comics characters.

The first of 4 Spider-Man movies on this list, and the first of 7 films that features the character at all, Spider-Man is a major box office draw.
