The year 1966 saw the debut of the Ultra Series with kaiju TV show Ultra Q. By the 1970s, Godzilla came to be viewed as a superhero, with the magazine King of the Monsters in 1977 describing Godzilla as 'Superhero of the '70s.' Godzilla was 'the most universally popular superhero of 1977' according to Donald F. He has been described as 'the original radioactive superhero' due to his nuclear origin story predating Spider-Man (1962 debut), although Godzilla did not become a hero until Ghidorah (1964). The kaiju monster Godzilla, originally a villain, began being portrayed as a superhero in the Godzilla films. Another early superhero film was Ōgon Bat (1966), a Japanese film starring Sonny Chiba based on the 1931 Kamishibai superhero Ōgon Bat. Moonlight Mask also became popular around that time, with six films retelling the story of the TV series being made. Along with Astro Boy, the Super Giant film series greatly influenced later Japanese tokusatsu superhero films.

In the following decades, the decline of Saturday serials and turmoil in the comic book industry put an end to superhero motion pictures, with the exception of Superman and the Mole Men (1951), starring George Reeves, which was a trial balloon for the television series Adventures of Superman, compilations of episodes of that same series released theatrically, and Batman (1966) a big-screen extension of the Batman television series starring Adam West. Serials such as The Shadow (1940), Adventures of Captain Marvel (1941), Batman (1943), The Phantom (1943), Captain America (1944), Superman (1948) followed.

On its own, the superhero film has become a popular genre of film, earning over $25 billion dollars for Marvel alone.

Anime superhero films are based on manga and television shows. While The Green Hornet is based primarily on the original radio series and its 1960s television adaptation, both Underdog and The Powerpuff Girls are based on animated television series. By contrast, films such as the Ultraman, Kamen Rider and Super Sentai franchises, the RoboCop series, The Meteor Man, the Unbreakable film series, Hancock and They Call Me Jeeg, are original for the screen. Many superhero films are based on superhero comics. The first film frequently introduces the hero's nemesis. The first film of a particular character often focuses on the hero's origin story-the story of how they got their special powers.

These films typically feature action, adventure, fantasy, or science fiction elements. Superheroes are individuals who possess superhuman abilities and are dedicated to protecting the public. A superhero film (or superhero movie) is a film that focuses on the actions of superheroes.
