  • No, seriously, I side with Drax.

  • No, I understand that you're being very serious right now.

  • I can clearly see you winking.

  • Welcome to watch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 best superhero opening scenes by the fancy suit.

  • Mr Poole.

  • Oh that's because it's christmas day to Pender and I'm after someone on my naughty list for this list to be looking at full introductory sequences from superhero movies that make a terrific first impression.

  • However, we're just looking at live action films this time, which opening scene made you excited to continue?

  • Head to the comments and let us know Number 10, I'm batman Batman with his signature style tim Burton showed audiences a new type of superhero film.

  • In 1989 the opening sequence of batman eases us in as a family attempts to navigate Gotham's dark and gloomy streets.

  • The lady do the kid a favor, don't scream no, after their robbery we see the Dark knight prey on the muggers.

  • The use of heavy shadows and clever camera framing paints batman as an otherworldly figure something to be feared by those with ill intent.

  • Hey, shut up man, listen to me very no debt, Danny Elfman's playful yet fantastical score helps give the character a larger than life quality.

  • All of these elements come to a head as the caped crusader dangles, a crook off the side of a building and others to iconic words, I'm batman.

  • Okay.

  • Number nine cab ride.

  • Deadpool for a hero as irreverent and chaotic as Deadpool.

  • His first solo outing.

  • Needed to capture just that.

  • I know right whose balls did I have to fondle to get my very own movie, I can't tell you, but it does rhyme with wolverine, thankfully, we got the gist of wade Wilson in the opening few minutes following slo mo shots of carnage and meta credits set to juice Newton's Angel of the Morning.

  • Already off to a great start.

  • We see the mayhem preceding events.

  • First is the cab ride with dope under, where wade doles out some romantic advice and realizes he forgot the majority of his weapons shit.

  • I forgot my ammo bag.

  • Should we turn back time already.

  • The tone for Deadpool has been beautifully set.

  • Things are going to get hilariously violent and his weight drops into the car of his soon to be victims.

  • That's exactly what happens.

  • Number eight, Mirror dimension.

  • Fight Doctor Strange.

  • Anyone familiar with the Master of the Mystic arts New Doctor Strange would have some pretty trippy sequences.

  • You think that this material universe is all there is Anyone unfamiliar, had it made very clear to them during the opening sequence, after Kai's Ilias murders, Kamar Taj is librarian and steals rules for a ritual.

  • He and his followers are pursued by a hooded ancient one by trapping them in the mirror dimension.

  • The ancient one nearly gains the upper hand.

  • The city block folds in on itself as she battles Delius as minions using fan like projections to batter them continuously.

  • Not only does it simply look awesome, but it immediately got us intrigued for the magical side of marvel we hadn't really seen yet.

  • Number seven.

  • A weathered hero Logan.

  • The world of Logan is much darker than what we saw in any of the X men movies.

  • The movie impresses that on the audience from the very beginning, guys, chrome plated lugs, gonna strip as criminals attempt to steal the hubcaps off his limousine.

  • A grizzled, exhausted Logan tries to make them see reason.

  • Thanks to the R rating, the ensuing fight is the first time we get to see what wolverine's claws can really do to someone.

  • It is completely visceral and a sight to behold.

  • But the opening gets props for more than just its violence with this healing factor, not what it used to be.

  • This isn't the flashy, undefeatable hero we'd seen before.

  • Life has certainly taken its toll both on his body and his spirit.

  • Number six Mr.

  • Blue Sky Guardians of the Galaxy.

  • Volume two with the team Now together, James Gunn knew exactly how to set up their second adventure where the scene that perfectly encapsulates their dynamic.

  • After an interesting scene of setup involving Star Lord's parents, we jump to the guardians in present day as they prepare for a job.

  • Showtime a holes will be here any minute, which will be its loss from quills.

  • Dissatisfaction of cameras encroaching on his gun wielding territory to track's sensitive nipples, there's definitely a lot of guns, humor.

  • What about him?

  • What's he doing?

  • I'm finishing this so we can listen to tunes while we work.

  • How is that a priority blame quill?

  • He's the one who loves music so much.

  • I actually agree with Drax on this, that's hardly important right now.

  • Okay.

  • However, the clear scene stealer is Baby Groot who dances to electric light.

  • Orchestra's endlessly catchy Mr Blue sky while his teammates fight for their lives in the background.

  • Not only is it cute as hell, but it's also a terrific use of space and every member gets to have a fun interaction with the little guy.

  • Number five, Riddler murder slash opening monologue.

  • The batman.

  • Although we've had many batman movies in recent memory, Matt, Reeves take on Gotham's vigilante offered something new while feeling familiar.

  • Thanks.

  • The opening sequence introduces its enigmatic villain and hero in two very different but equally compelling ways, Riddler's murder of Gotham's Mayor is a tremendous case study in lighting and staging, Bruce's monologue set over several crimes is even more fascinating.

  • Like Tim Burton's batman, we see the terrifying impact Bruce has left on criminals, but when that light hits the sky, it's not just a call, it's a warning, but as he monologues with each perpetrator scared of even the possibility of batman appearing?

  • It's shown to be on a much wider scale hell are you supposed to be the entire sequence is a slow burn build up that gradually pulls you into the corrupt crime ridden city invention.

  • Number four, the comedian's demise watchman, there was a lot of alternate U.

  • S.

  • History to cover for a watchman adaptation.

  • Luckily Zack Snyder and his team were able to condense and convey it through this opening scene.

  • Let it be clear.

  • We maintain our strength in order to maintain peace.

  • We learned part of the world's current state to the news report the comedian watches but his evening is interrupted by an absolutely brutal beatdown courtesy of a mysterious assailant.

  • The fight is signature Snyder with the slow mo shot of the emblematic button, exciting the comic nerd in all of us.

  • Afterwards we get the world events that led to this moment in some of the best opening credits ever.

  • Set to bob Dylan's The times they are a changin.

  • It beautifully summarizes the world state leading into this dark superhero tale.

  • I'm writers and critics who privacies with your pen Number three Nightcrawlers White House Attack X two.

  • Following the events of the 2000 original, the human perception of mutants was at an all time.

  • Low matters weren't helped when nightcrawler attacked the White House.

  • Excuse me sir, are you lost?

  • Mhm But for us viewers?

  • It's a stunning sequence.

  • The fight choreography is fantastic.

  • We could honestly watch Nightcrawler teleport flip twirl and pummel foes like a horrific gymnast all day long.

  • Additionally, the operatic score lends the sequence a grand epic feeling and as it would turn out it was entirely necessary, The attack is an act of war.

  • A message of bloodshed to come on the surface level.

  • This is an entertaining power showcasing moment for the fan favorite mutant god.

  • Yeah, but on a world building level it immediately pulled us into the film's politics.

  • Number two Thanos arrives Avengers infinity war Comic readers were likely aware of Thanos power heading into infinity war, but as far as onscreen appearances went, he hadn't done much to warrant all the clout, thankfully infinity war, wasted no time in proving that he completely deserved it.

  • I know what it's like to lose.

  • I feel so desperately that you're right yet to fail.

  • Nonetheless, the bodies of as guardians littering thor's ship, Ebony maw preaching of his master's supremacy and the reveal that Thanos already had the power stone were enough to set the tone.

  • The Tesseract or your brother's head.

  • You know, I assume you have a preference, but just to make sure we all knew Thanos beat the hulk into submission before murdering both Loki and Heimdall.

  • It's an incredibly tense scene to say the least by having Thanos best, the two mightiest Avengers.

  • We were all promptly prepared for what this villain might bring before we unveil our topic here are a few honorable mentions hanging with starter thor, Ragnarok humor and led Zeppelin set up a more unique thor, I mean, back around shortly do I really feel like we were connecting their ambush, Iron Man, the charismatic, Tony Stark has his world turned upside down.

  • Just don't change any settings.

  • Yeah.

  • The bombing of Nagasaki.

  • The wolverine shows how impressive Logan's healing factor really is.

  • Look now.

  • Yeah, yeah.

  • The story of Wakanda, Black panther engaging world building with lovely animation.

  • The warrior became king and the first black panther, the protector of Wakanda assault on structures base Avengers age of Ultron, a snow draped battle with plenty of great hero.

  • Number one, the bank heist the dark night, we have to give props to baines kidnap plan.

  • In the Dark Knight rises.

  • No one cared who I was till I put on the mask but no superhero film has instantly entranced us with the villain.

  • The way the Dark Knight did.

  • The opening sequence follows a group of clown mask, joker goons robbing a bank that caters to Gotham's crime lords.

  • The henchmen have presumably all been told to kill a different member as they all start to take each other out.

  • Where's the alarm guy?

  • Boss told me when the guy was done, I should take him out one Less share.

  • Right?

  • Funny.

  • He told me something similar.

  • No, no that is classic joker so too is making sure they all die.

  • So he gets the money to himself.

  • It's thrilling to watch a bank heist.

  • Especially one where the criminals quickly turn on one another.

  • But the reveal in which joker removes his mask, upgrades the sequence to a magnificent villain Introduction.

  • What do you believe in?

  • Huh?

  • What do you believe in?

  • I believe whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you stranger.

  • Do you agree with our picks?
