Guardians (2017). Russian, and weird as hell.
There's a bunch of Ultraman movies of varying quality and connectedness. Likewise with Toho Godzilla which is more superhero than Kaiju at a certain point. If you haven't seen them I maintain that the DC Animated Universe is superior to the MCU and DC. Finally there's Invincible and Harley Quinn which are both at least parodying modern superheroes
Jet Jaguar: Robot Hero!
Powerfuff Girls
Hell yeah! We grew up with Cartoon Network though, so it's not exactly fresh for us. Powerpuff Girls is definitely a good watch though, one of the better children's TV series.
Teen Titans Go makes fun of the DC universe pretty hard.
What other superhero show makes episodes educating kids on college admissions, property taxes etc, and STILL be hilarious, irreverant and full of songs about pies, waffles and pain?
Watchmen
American Gods
The Boys
Invincible
Transmetropolitan
Well, it's a series not a movie and in no way as large as DC or Marvel, but does Invincible count?
V for Vendetta is worth a view. Heh...
Yes I know it's DC, but this film in particular is British.
My Hero Academia - Its a tv show, so not a movie, but is based in a world where everyone has powers and focuses on one of the schools that trains super heroes.
Hanuman and Bahubali
This is really stretching it, but Extraordinary? None of the characters are heroes, and everyone in the world has superpowers, so none of it is really super anymore. Oh, and the main character has no power whatsoever, which makes it a comedy. 😄 Also, it’s a TV series, not a movie franchise. At least it takes place in the UK, so at least there’s that. Also, Wikipedia calls it a superhero comedy, so I guess it counts…
All American movies, but not DC/Marvel.
The Spirit.
Flash Gordon
Dick Tracy
Judge Dredd [one campy version and one gritty version]
Darkman
You mention anime, so you've seen the sentai/magical girl genre? There's more than a lifetime to watch/read.
