We’re living in a golden age for depictions of superheroes and other comic book stories on TV. Plenty of small screen adaptations of popular characters have been made over the years, from early Superman serials through to Smallville in the '00s, but the variety of shows we can watch today is unprecedented. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of ten of the most unusual, most interesting and most entertaining superhero shows, with most entries on this list available to stream right now.  We’ve tried to offer a variety of experiences, from prestige cable shows, to episodic network shows and even comedies. And don't worry: we've included animated shows, too. There's no way we were going to do this list without including the legendary Batman animated series, which is arguably still the best version of the character outside of the comics.  Best Netflix shows Best Hulu shows Best Disney Plus shows Watchmen (Image credit: HBO) Watch it on:  HBO (US),  Amazon Prime Video to buy (UK)
