Rank the DC films

[Da Games Elite]

For me, I'd rank the ones I've seen as follows (omitting Stardust since, if I'm thinking of the same Stardust, that's a Neil Gaiman novel, not exclusively a comic).

1) The Dark Knight
2) Batman ('89)
3) Watchmen
4) Batman Begins
5) Superman II
6) The Dark Knight Rises
7) V for Vendetta
8) Batman ('66)
9) Superman the Movie
10) Batman Forever
11) Man of Steel
12) Superman Returns
13) League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
14) Green Lantern
15) Batman Returns
16) Constantine
17) Superman IV
18) Batman and Robin
19) Superman III
20) Jonah Hex
21) Supergirl
22) Catwoman

2 The Dark Knight Trilogy
3 Superman the movie
4 Superman II
5 The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
6 V for Vendetta
7 RED
8 Batman
9 Green lantern
10 Watchmen

Man of Steel
Superman the Movie



The Good...
V for Vendetta

Watchmen




The pretty average.........
Green Lantern
Batman Forever
Constantine ( not a bad film, IF you completely ignore a the source material).


The awful....

Supergirl
Superman Returns (my second least favourite DC film)
Catwoman
Superman IV the Quest for Peace (although still better than Superman Returns)
Jonah Hex
Batman and Robin

and the worst of all, the Spirit, it's crap on an unbelievable level.

 

[Loki882]

Great:

The Dark Knight.
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.
Batman Begins.
Man of Steel.
Superman (78).

Very Good:

The Dark Knight Rises.
Superman II.
Batman (66).

Good/Decent:

Batman (89).
Batman Forever.
Swamp Thing.

Bad:

Superman III.
Superman Returns.
Swamp Thing II.
Green Lantern.
Supergirl.
Constantine (it's a fairly entertaining movie on it's own, but a horrible Hellblazer/Constantine adaptation).
Batman Returns.

Terrible/Godawful:

Superman IV.
That godawful George Clooney abomination.
Catwoman.
Steel.
The Spirit.
Jonah Hex.

I'm just putting mainstream DC comics on this list. I'll make a separate list for the other stuff.

 

[Rorschach2012]

Great:
The Dark Knight
Batman Begins
Batman
Superman
Batman Returns
The Dark Knight Rises

Good:
Batman Forever
Superman II
Man of Steel

OK:
Green Lantern
Batman and Robin

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Should the Spirit count? The character remained only for a short period with DC, and the movie doesn't even carry the DC Comics logo

 

[Batmannerism]

Should the Spirit count? The character remained only for a short period with DC, and the movie doesn't even carry the DC Comics logo

Good point ! I wish the Spirit had never been made at all. I tried to watch it twice, but the nausea overwhelmed me. Wow, no one should let Frank Miller direct a movie again, ever.

If the Spirit doesn't count then the worst film by miles is Catwoman (although maybe Jonah Hex isn't too far behind), it makes Green Lantern
look freaking awesome in comparison.

cheers !

 

[Raphi]

Well, out of the ones I've seen:

1. The Dark Knight
2. Man of Steel
3. The Dark Knight Rises
4. Watchmen
5. Superman II
6. V For Vendetta
7. Batman Begins
8. Superman
9. Batman Returns
10. Superman Returns
11. Batman Forever
12. Green Lantern
13. Batman and Robin

I have mixed feelings about/dislike Batman Returns and everything after it. Batman and Robin is my least favourite movie of all time, while The Dark Knight is my favourite. I saw Catwoman once years ago and I don't remember enough of it to be able to rank it. I do remember it sucking all kinds of butt though.
