DC Movies Ranked from Worst to Best – My Personal Take
As a longtime DC fan, I’ve ridden every emotional high and low the franchise has thrown at us. From jaw-dropping action to some real “what-were-they-thinking?” moments, I’ve watched them all—and I have thoughts. So here’s my honest, 300-word ranking of DC movies, from worst to best, based on how they made me feel, not just what critics said.
Let’s start with the not-so-great: “Suicide Squad” (2016). I really wanted to love it. The trailer had that edgy, rebellious vibe, but what we got felt messy and rushed. It tried to do too much and didn’t land the emotional punches.
Next up: “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” Visually stunning, yes. But I still can’t get over the “Martha” moment. It was a bold move—but not the epic showdown I’d hoped for.
“Justice League” (2017) also disappointed me. It felt disconnected and uneven. But when Zack Snyder’s Justice League dropped? Game-changer. I finally got the depth and cohesion I’d craved. It felt like a love letter to the fans.
On the brighter side, “Wonder Woman” (2017) blew me away. Gal Gadot’s portrayal was fierce, graceful, and inspiring. And that trench scene? Pure cinematic gold.
“The Suicide Squad” (2021) (yes, the reboot) was wild, chaotic, and surprisingly heartfelt. James Gunn understood the assignment.
But my top pick? “The Dark Knight”—no contest. Heath Ledger’s Joker, the moral dilemmas, the gritty realism—it’s everything I want in a superhero film. I’ve rewatched it more times than I care to admit.
I know everyone’s list is different, but if you’re diving into the DC Universe, this is the order I’d recommend. And hey—if you disagree, I’m always up for a good movie debate.
