Superhero crossovers in the movies might often get all of the attention, but television actually has a much longer history of teaming up costumed heroes than the silver screen does.
We’ve got two big superhero TV crossovers coming in the near future which promise to be awesome. In Marvel’s corner, Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage will join forces in 2017 mini-series The Defenders, which acts as a culmination of every Marvel/Netflix series up to that point.
On the DC side of things, come this October and The CW will smush together all four of its superhero shows – Arrow, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl – for what is sure to be the largest conglomeration of caped crusaders on the small screen to date.
But what about the ones that we’ve seen already? Ranked in chronological order, we’ve picked the eight best superhero crossovers on television. Check them out on the next page and after you’re done, make sure to let us know what you think by commenting below.
