10 Extremely Underrated Animated Comic Book Movies

While the fanboys battle it out on Facebook and Twitter about which cinematic universe is better, there's a whole bunch of animated comic book movies waiting around to be watched. Sure, some of them, such as Batman: Mask of the Phantasm and Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, have garnered critical acclaim and legendary status, but many have also gone under the radar in a quiet fashion. I'm willing to bet that there's more than a handful that you've probably never even heard about.

Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher (2014)

Recommended Videos

An anime film starring Black Widow and the Punisher, you say? Whoa! Don’t leave this page just yet. Yes, you, settle down for a second. I said anime, not hentai. Jokes aside, Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher is one of those hidden gems that most people don’t realize even exists until they eventually see it on the shelf or online somewhere.

Bursting with action and oozing stylish art, this is a wicked team-up film that clicks in all the right places. But when you think about why it works, it makes sense instantly. Black Widow has all the characteristics to make her the ideal partner and equal to the Punisher. So, it should come as no surprise that the two of them together equals brutal battles and bloody bad guys, right?

I must say that after watching this sensational film, I couldn’t help but feel a little bit of sadness inside. Not because it sucked, but since a sequel is highly unlikely because, you know, reasons.
