The Cape Index
An interactive index of 91 live-action Marvel and DC franchise films, tracking grosses, budgets, reviews, profitability, release patterns, and shared casts since 2000.
Field notes
The index divides its material into seven tabs, including Scoreboard, Over time, Beyond the gross, Roster, The mistakes, The ledger, and Reference. Controls let readers filter six named universes and switch between nominal figures and 2025-dollar values. The page identifies Box Office Mojo as its gross source and links to a Tableau Public workbook plus GitHub, while its design-notes mode documents choices such as using a treemap to fit all 91 films into one view.
