The cinematic landscape of superhero movies has been changing significantly over the past few years. Movies like BATMAN V SUPERMAN and WONDER WOMAN felt like they would never materialize for the longest time, but despite the DC presence on the big screen finally jumping up to meet the juggernaut MCU, it was DEADPOOL in 2016 that broke a lot of new ground. We’d seen R-rated comic book movies before, but ever since the standard for blockbuster success was set by Marvel Studios, it appeared those days were long gone, let alone an R-rated comic book movie that could be a knockout success.

It was different, and it connected with audiences worldwide, thus opening the door for films like LOGAN to present us with a much more adult take on these larger than life characters than ever before.
