‘Breaking Bad’ Creator’s Cult Classic Superhero Epic Officially Soars Onto Free Streaming

The year 2008 is important in the history of superhero movies because it produced two industry-altering hits — Marvel’s Iron Man and Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight. Both movies changed the way Hollywood makes tentpoles, and their influence can be felt to this day. There was, however, a third superhero movie that came out in the summer of 2008. The movie was a bigger hit at the box office than Iron Man, and was primed for a sequel that was never made. Conversations about the long-rumored follow-up resurface from time to time, but no concrete progress has been made on the project in nearly two decades. That said, the original movie was recently added to the free streaming library of Pluto TV, making it easier to access for an audience that likely wasn’t born when it was first released.
