The only superhero that could’ve competed with spider-man has always been Batman only, and even that there’s quite a significant gap after how DC flunked their cinematic universe

There are 3 great live action batman films: Batman, Batman Returns (both encapsulated the look and feel of the comics) and the Dark Knight (mostly because of heath ledger).

Everything else has been subpar, at best. Affleck deserved his own batman film, devoid of zack snyder's interference.

Batman was the second superhero movie behind Captain Marvel. Then Superman was number 3.

All 3 came out during WW2.
