The Elite Eight is filled with some expected names and a few surprises.  In the last round we lost two 1-seeds as Iron Man went down to Logan and The Dark Knight Rises lost to Captain America: Winter Soldier.  In another surprise, Black Panther continued to dominate everywhere, keeping its winning streak alive and taking down Guardians of the Galaxy.  So now we are left with 4 MCU movies, 2 X-Men movies, 1 Dark Knight movie, and 1 DCEU movie.  Let's take a closer look at each matchup.

1 The Dark Knight vs 2 Deadpool
This is one of two 1 vs 2 matchups, and both of these movies have advanced easily up to this point.  The Dark Knight still has to be considered the favorite, but Deadpool is a worthy adversary.  Deadpool is insanely popular for its vulgar take on the superhero universe.  Meanwhile, The Dark Knight is superhero movie set a new standard for what they could be.  I expect Dark Knight to win a close matchup.

4 Logan vs 6 Black Panther
This is the all upset region.  I thought these two had a chance to pull the upset, but thought they would each fall short.  Instead, Logan dominated Iron Man by a 10-1 margin, and Black Panther pulled away from Guardians of the Galaxy late to win 8-4.  Secretly, I was hoping Guardians would keep advancing because it's my favorite MCU movie.  But both of these movies are really good and either one could win.  I think Black Panther will continue to ride the wave of dominance it has been on and advance to the Final Four.

1 The Avengers vs 2 Wonder Woman
This is the other region where the top two seeds advanced, setting up a real heavyweight matchup.  Avengers showed that superhero team ups could work and was a lot of fun.  Wonder Woman has been by far the best DC movie and was the hugely popular hit of last summer.  It also has the women empowerment vote on its side.  I think this will be another close one, but I predict The Avengers will squeak by.

2 Captain America: Civil War vs 4 Captain America: Winter Soldier
The all Captain America matchup.  I didn't really expect Winter Soldier to advance this far, but this sets up an intriguing matchup against its sequel.  The Captain America movies have continued to get better with each movie.  Civil War could be considered Avengers 2.5, but it was really good, and should win, setting up a potential matchup against The Avengers.

So now here is what the bracket looks like.
