Superhero movies set a certain precedent: Someone is going to die at the end. It's not universal, but it's true often enough. It's one of the ways a franchise can close one chapter, makingit possible to move on with new characters without having to perpetually rehash the same material. As a result, superhero films are responsible for a number ofunforgettable death scenes - though not all of these deaths are burned into the audience's memory like the rest.
Some death scenes aren't very memorable at all - often becausethemovie itself is poorly executed, or otherwise fails to meet expectations, and thus can't stick the landing on a a key death scene.
Of course, the bad guys aren't always the ones who bite the big one; when a hero falls, it can be more memorable than when someone like Two-Face meets his end inBatman Forever. This list features someof the greatest death scenes in comic book films. Some are more poignant than others - while some are just awesome, or otherwise amusing. So findyour favorite scenes below, and don't forget to vote them upto see which deathin a superhero movie was the most impactful of them all.
