Powered by the success of Tim Burton's Batman (1989), the nineties saw superhero cinema rise and become a dramatic force at the box office.
Although period superhero films largely failed, the Batman saga thrived...at least until 1997. And the 1990s is also the first decade that saw a number of superheroes of color on the big screen.
How many of these nineties superheroes do you remember?
