Superhero movies: 20 best superhero movie fight scenes of the decade

16. Wonder Woman’s War Fight

Movie: Wonder Woman (2017)

Wonder Woman was highly anticipated by almost everyone after Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. That movie only showed a small sample of what she was capable of, while Wonder Woman gave fans the full serving. The scene where she was fighting through the town was a perfect display of her skill. We witnessed her power, speed, finesse, and how well she works with a team. It makes sense. She was raised to be a superior fighting machine. This scene proves that.

Wonder Woman busted through the window of a building and unleashed an onslaught of offense. She made everything look easy. That’s the key here. Wonder Woman is so good that her being outnumbered and winning looked simple. We shouldn’t be shocked as she may be the most skilled fighter in all of comic books.

Why it ranks as one of the greatest fight scenes from this decade’s superhero movies

Wonder Woman had to have a good outing. People were (overly) critical of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. So much so that it felt like they gave up on Justice League before the movie premiered. Thankfully, Wonder Woman was a success at the box office and with critics. Had her first big fight scene been poor, it may have ruined the perception of the Wonder Woman franchise going forward. Especially since the final fight scene isn’t highly favored.
