As I have seen all but 7 of the 32 DC Comics films. I have decided to rank all of them with a short review for each of my top 10. I have to give honorable mentions to Constantine and Batman. The former is a surprisingly entertaining fantasy horror that sees Keanu Reeves play the supernatural detective. It transports you into a fascinating world that scares me every time. You will also be amazed at the cast that is involved.
The latter is the box office smash that began the dark gritty tone of the Batman world. Director Tim Burton definitely changed the way people portray the caped crusader after years of the campy TV series with Adam West. It also sees a memorable supportive role by Jack Nicholson as the evil Joker.
Now, here are my top 10:
34) Catwoman
33) Superman IV: The Quest For Peace
32) Batman & Robin
31) Supergirl
30) Jonah Hex
29) Batman Forever
29) Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom
28) Green Lantern
27) Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice
26) Birds Of Prey
28) Green Lantern
27) Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice
26) Birds Of Prey
25) Suicide Squad
24) Justice League
24) Justice League
23) Shazam! Fury Of The Gods
22) Blue Beetle
21) Aquaman
20) Superman III
19) Wonder Woman 1984
21) Aquaman
20) Superman III
19) Wonder Woman 1984
18) The Suicide Squad
17) Superman Returns
16) Man Of Steel
15) Wonder Woman
14) Constantine
13) Batman
16) Man Of Steel
15) Wonder Woman
14) Constantine
13) Batman
12) Zack Snyder's Justice League
11) Joker
10) Shazam! - The latest offering from DC, and it is probably their most fun and feel-good live-action adaptation. It sees a foster teenager be introduced to a world of wizards and monsters.
He is given the duty of protecting the world from the seven deadly sins whilst trying to find his family along the way.
While it is hilarious for the most part, the themes of the family is what gives it its extra edge of being an exceptional film.
9) The Lego Batman Movie - A wonderfully entertaining animation that manages to make fantastic self-aware gags of Batman's flaws.
In this adventure, Batman must battle with his accidentally newly adopted son, whilst taking on The Joker and hundreds of new accomplices.
This has fantastic re-watchability as the number of references are insane.
8) Batman Returns - My favourite of the pre-Nolan Batmans.
With brilliant performances of Michelle Pfeiffer and Danny DeVito as villains Catwoman and Penguin, this is a highly enjoyable sequel that I never get tired of watching.
7) Superman - The one that started it all.
1978 saw the superhero genre get elevated so much that it ended up winning a special Oscar for its visual effects.
Christopher Reeve was hailed as the man that was born to play Superman.
6) Superman II - The sequel that many including myself see as the best Superman film of all-time.
The action is terrific, the story is well developed and it has some of the most memorable villains lead by a terrific performance by Terrence Stamp.
5) Batman Begins - The first part of the The Dark Knight trilogy.
It saw director Christopher Nolan rejuvenate the character after the truly terrible Batman & Robin almost kicking the franchise down the toilet.
It's great mix of arthouse and blockbuster won a lot of new fans over, and as they say, the rest is history.
4) The Dark Knight Rises - The epic conclusion to the Dark Knight trilogy sees Gotham facing a new threat.
For what I felt were harsh criticisms, I see this as a terrific final chapter to one of the most important trilogies in modern cinema.
The cast is as stellar as ever and Nolan's direction continues to be phenomenal.
3) The Dark Knight - One of the highest praised films of the 21st century.
Winner of two Oscars, Christopher Nolan's vision of the world of Batman is made to be as real as it can be.
It also contains what I consider to be the best supporting performance of all-time, in the form of Heath Ledger.
2) Watchmen - Despite its mixed reviews, there is a lot of love for this film portrayal of the most celebrated graphic novel of all-time.
For me, Zack Snyder has created the best feature possible and I completely loved it.
With it containing the most amazing opening credits ever, this is definitely not your average superhero movie.
1) V For Vendetta - As many people know, this is my number one film of all-time.
Everything works for me, the pacing, the development of the story and the unreal performances by leads Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving.
I cannot recommend this movie enough.
