Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy and Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy raised the bar further. Then Marvel Studios launched its Cinematic Universe with Iron Man in 2008, creating a serialized, interconnected franchise model that changed the entire industry. DC's attempts to build a rival universe, Sony's Spider-Man variants, and independent superhero films have all added to the genre's incredible breadth.
