Share inspiring and interesting superhero and supervillain clips

[temnix]

Let's start a place where people can showcase scenes of superhero films that they find the most most inspiring or thought-provoking, trailers, music videos that can be said to relate to the topic (taken loosely). I'll begin. These are the opening titles for "The Shadow" (1994). If you have not seen this film, you definitely do not know all of the best there is of the superhero genre. I think this is Alec Baldwin's strongest and most natural performance, one where he opened a new side to his personality. Penelope Ann Miller is stunning, and there is a host of other distinguished actors on the job, but also an entire talented ensemble of cameramen, wardrobe and prop makers, scene designers, CGI artists that make the film truly unforgettable, and the music was written by no less than Jerry Goldsmith, the author of something like half of all famous Hollywood scores (there is also a superb song in the end credits). Together they have created real art, so mysterious, meaningful, so romantic that it stays with you forever.

 

Here I snipped off only a small bit, not even the first scene, but one should already be able to appreciate the quality of the production.

 

"The Shadow" has since been released in a widescreen version, in HDTV, some time ago, a treat for those who, like myself, only got to see it in fullscreen in the 1990s. Of course, like all movies, but this one especially, it should be watched alone in a darkened room and with no beeps and interruptions from a stupid phone and such.
