The Ultimate Netflix Guide for Superhero Fans!

Rated TV-Y7, this is great for younger kids (7 years and older) where they’ll be introduced to the entire Justice League team including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, and more.

Also rated TV-Y7, this show is recommended for the 7 and up crowd. New villains, same superheroes.

Rated TV-PG, this animated tale of teenage superhero sidekicks like Robin and Aqualad is geared towards a slightly older crowd (think 10+).

Rated PG-13, you most likely remember the excitement of the first Batman movie with Michael Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson as an expertly cast Joker. Made in 1989, it was the highest grossing film of the year. And as with many Tim Burton films, it might be worth a second look.

Also rated PG-13, this 1997 film changed it up with George Clooney as Batman (at least it wasn’t Val Kilmer). While it wasn’t highly rated, you can’t miss Arnold Schwarzenegger as the perfect Mr. Freeze.

Want to introduce your little ones to superheroes without frightening them to pieces? This is a great starter show for younger kids. It’s still suggested for kids 7 and up because there’s nothing warm and cuddly about superheroes.

This isn’t a series but rather a single episode of LEGO superheroes. It’s a great tie-in to their products and video games but usually the LEGO stories are pretty well done. Also recommended for ages 7 and up.

If you’re child is dying to know every Marvel superhero or you’re busy wondering how your child knows every backstory, this show will help both of you. This two season series tells the evolution of how the Avengers came to be. Recommended for ages 7 and up.

Another animated series about The Avengers but according to one 8 year old in my house, it doesn’t hold the same level of quality as the previous show. Ages 7 and up.

This PG-13 animated movie is intended for an older crowd and possibly, more specifically, the anime crowd. This movie is considered Japanese animation and may not suit the tastes of those used to the more classic animated series.

Now in its third season, Hulk teams up with A-Bomb, Scarr, She Hulk and Red Hulk among others to, of course, battle plentiful villains, including Galactus. Suitable for ages 7 and up.

This is another animated film that teams the Hulk and Iron Man up against a foe that only they can defeat. Rated PG.

Similar to the previous film, this time Iron Man teams up with Captain America to defeat Red Skull. Rated PG.

It doesn’t get much better than Spider-Man and the reviews agree that this is one of the best animated superhero series out there. I’d have to compare it against my all-time favorite, Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, before I can sign off on that. Suggested for ages 7 and up.

While this show got mediocre ratings in this house, the other Netflix ratings give this high marks as staying true to the characters. One season is available and is rated TV-Y7.

Just because it’s animated doesn’t mean it’s for kids. In fact, this series is rated TV-MA and intended for viewers over the age of 17. It’s called dark and imaginative with a unique style of animation.

Daredevil is original Netflix show that was originally conceived as a movie. It shows in the cinematography but make sure you put the kids to bed before turning this one on. It’s intended for mature audiences only.

I’ve got to be honest. This show gave me nightmares as a kid. But it’s totally worth watching again if only for the nostalgia factor. The first episode also clearly shows the origin story of the Hulk which some kids may like. And they can laugh at the cheesy special effects. Recommended for ages 8 and up.

And now for something completely different… this documentary explores the connect between elite athletes and superheroes. I’m gonna have to see it to believe it. Rated PG.

Following in the footsteps of Netflix Original Daredevil, Netflix plans to premiere this show on November 20th. A lesser known superheroine, the show is based on Jessica’s post-superhero life as a private investigator.
