Wonder Womanis officially the best superhero movie of all time, at least according to Rotten Tomatoes. A whole lot has been said of the incredible success thatWonder Womanhas enjoyed this year. The movie was met with excellent reviews which, in turn, led to a tremendous box office take. With all things now factored in, Rotten Tomatoes has now officially declared thatWonder Womanhas the honor of being thebest superhero movie ever.
Rotten Tomatoes recently updated their list of the 50 best superhero movies of all time. After recalculating the numbers,Patty Jenkins' Wonder Womancame out on top, beating out the likes ofThe Dark Knight,The Avengersand a couple of other superhero movies that were released this year. When Rotten Tomatoes recalculated the numbers, the adjusted score forWonder Womanis 108.567%. According to Rotten Tomatoes, “The adjusted score comes from a weighted formula (Bayesian) that we use that accounts for variation in the number of reviews per movie.” So that’s pretty damn impressive.
Prior to the release ofWonder Woman, Warner Bros. was having issues with the DCEU. BothBatman V. Superman: Dawn of JusticeandSuicide Squadwere incredibly divisive and panned by critics. They did manage to find financial success, but those movies are nowhere to be found on this list.Wonder Woman, on the other hand, was a complete 180 for DC and, in addition to the critical love, the moviegrossed $821.7 million worldwide. It also has the honor of being thefirst female-led superhero movie of the modern era.

Every single superhero movie released in 2017 (so far) made the top 10.Logan, which is a movie that has legitimate Oscar chances, likeWonder Woman, in addition to being a box office success and a true crowd-pleaser, came in at number 2.Spider-Man: Homecoming, which is the first truly belovedSpider-Manmovie sinceSpider-Man 2, came in at number 4.Thor: Ragnarok, which is currently tearing it up at the box office, comes in at number 5. EvenThe LEGO Batman Moviemanaged to make the list, coming it at number 10.
The highest-rated movie not released in 2017 is Christopher Nolan’sThe Dark Knight, which is generally considered to be one of the greatest comic book movies ever made.
