DC Best to Worst

[co2]

I see this kind of thread in the Marvel forum all of the time..but here, not so much.

So here is the opportunity. All and any DC related live action films (Vertigo incuded). I'm excluding animation as it might get a little gray going in that direction.

Let's see how you stack them up.

 

[DX]

Batman Begins
Superman the Movie
Batman
Batman Returns
Superman 2
Superman Returns
Batman Forever
Batman and Robin

I edited my initial statement to exclude animation. Let's just stick to live action on this one if we can.

Here are mine in order

Superior filmaking
Superman: The Movie
Batman Begins
V for Vendetta
Batman 89

Good enough to own on DVD
Superman Returns
Superman 2: The Donner Cut
Superman 2

Not great movies, but worth seeing once as a fan of DC
Constantine
Batman Returns
Batman Forever
Swamp Thing
Batman 66

Make it STOP!
Superman 3
Batman and Robin
Supergirl
Superman 4

There are others I haven't seen but from what I understand, they probably would fit in that final categorey.

 

[Matt.S99]

i thought supergirl was pretty ok for its time, bad acting but i liked it otherwise

 

[Dr. Fate]

i thought supergirl was pretty ok for its time, bad acting but i liked it otherwise

That and Helen Slater was hot in a wholesome kind of way.

 

[Rezzo]

The most recent films by DC Comics, should just be recent movies since the Marvel thread is just about recent year films mostly

A History of Violence (2005)
Constantine (2005)

Superman 3
Superman 4
Catwoman
Steel
Supergirl

 

[Savage]

Catwoman was far more entertaining than Superman Returns...

BUH?! I guess if you mean as a comedy, sure. Action is not limited to fighting, you know (not you particularly but mostly people rag on the movie for lack of fights...I mean really...).

 

[Justice Bringer]

Batman Begins, Superman Returns and V for Vendetta are clearly the best of DC so far.

My hopes are high for TDK, Superman MOS and The Watchmen

 

[Spider-Fan]

Superman: The Movie (it has grown on me a lot recently...would be the greatest ever if not for the weak ending).
Batman Begins
V For Vendetta
Batman
Batman Returns
Superman II
Constantine
Batman Forver
Superman Returns
Superman III
Supergirl
Steel
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace
Batman & Robin

Never saw Catwoman.

I would place Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut above Batman 89'.

 

[KalKai]

Near Perfect:
Batman Begins
Superman Returns
V for Vendetta

This is a joke, right? You're being sarcastic, right? Seriously, SR NEAR PERFECT? LMAO!

 

[Karea07]

I really thought Returns was boring - horrible Lex, Supes having a kid - wtf?, I didn't like it all that much. I wish it was a little more original and modern as well... the lack of action wasn't what took away from the film IMO.

I will admit, I have not watched SM1-4 for quite some time now, I may give them a rewatching, it's probaly been nearly a decade since I saw SM1, and SM2 not seen for a good few years, as for SM4, that's been a while.....for some reason, they keep showing SM3 all the time in the UK on TV, it's a horrible movie.
