2018 was maybe the best year for superheroes ever. It wasn't just that a decade's worth of Marvel Cinematic Universe films finally culminated with Avengers Infinity War, although of course that was a huge part of it. But across movies and TV, superhero fiction was simply phenomenal this year.

With Daredevil Season 3, Netflix had its strongest Marvel series yet, and nevermind the sad injustice that it then got canceled along with the rest of them. Marvel had a good year overall, with Ant-Man and even Deadpool 2 in addition to Infinity War.

Meanwhile, the DCEU got maybe its strongest entry yet with Aquaman--at least, if the reactions so far are to be believed. And even anime continued its strong superhero run with the latest season of My Hero Academia, which for our money was one of the best shows of the year. And none of this is even counting comics, because we gave that its own list.

In no particular order, here are our 15 favorite superhero movies and shows from 2018.
