As the storytelling becomes more expansive and the spectacle increases in scope and scale, comic book movies have inevitably been getting longer and longer over the last decade. The days when you could tell a complete tale in two hours or less are well and truly over, with the overwhelming majority of the genre’s marquee titles reaching butt-numbing status.
Avengers: Endgame is the longest theatrically released superhero blockbuster ever made, stretching a whopping 181 minutes, but there was admittedly an awful lot of narrative ground to cover, and audiences clearly didn’t mind as it became the highest-grossing pic in history. Zack Snyder’s Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut and Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice Ultimate Edition, meanwhile, are both longer at 215 and 183 minutes, respectively, followed by The Dark Knight Rises at 164 minutes.
