Superhero allure has grown more and more over the years. Every summer new caped crusaders tackle the big screen, with each one seemingly setting their own benchmarks for record sales. One of the most profitable superhero flicks in recent history, yes, even before the Avengers came and did their thing, was Black Panther. The first mostly black superhero adventure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe grossed nearly $1.3 billion globally, and currently sits as the 10th most lucrative big screen movie of all time.
DC looks to be gearing up to capitalize off of that niche demographic as well, as reports are beginning to surface that the next Batman reboot will be the first of it’s kind.
