## Key points

- Some superheroes benefit from television’s longer storytelling format.
- Moon Knight gets nearly six hours to develop on screen.
- Invincible’s existing series makes a film seem redundant.

## Summary

The article argues that some superheroes are better suited to television than film because a series gives audiences more time with a character and can spread storytelling costs across episodes. It names six characters whose stories, budgets or existing adaptations make television a particularly good fit.

Moon Knight benefits from nearly six hours of screen time to develop his character and mythology; Green Arrow’s grounded stories can be made across a TV season without blockbuster budgets; and Invincible’s series is already adapting its comic run, making a film seem redundant. The supplied article text ends partway through its discussion of Invincible, so it does not include the remaining three characters.
