Best comic book movie moments: 44. Superman vs the Justice League
Comic book movie: Justice League
Superman was brought back to life, but he wasn’t right. He was having issues remembering who he was. As he was figuring it out, Cyborg’s system sees Superman as a threat and shoots him. All Hell officially breaks loose.
What we see here is that nobody on Earth can defeat the Man of Steel individually or as a team. He could even see the Flash at superspeed while holding back Aquaman Cyborg, and Wonder Woman. If not for the emotional connection between Lois and Clark, they would have lost and Batman would have been killed. It was a great moment that highlighted why they needed Superman to defeat Steppenwolf.
Best comic book movie moments: 43. Shredder vs the Turtles
Comic book movie: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The Ninja Turtles were going up against their nemesis for the first time. There’s no other way to put it, they got their butts handed to them. Shredder beat them one by one then did it again. After that, he antagonizes them enough to get Leonardo to attack him recklessly. If not for Splinter provoking Shredder into being rash, Leonardo would have been killed.
This moment had a great fight scene, quotable dialogue, and a fantastic ending to the movie. Topping it off with Splinter saying, “Cowabunga” and “I made a funny” was perfect. People should acknowledge this movie for more than just a funny film. This scene proves it’s better than it’s given credit for.
