The absolute worst DC film, in your opinion?

[johnboy3434]

I've included some of the most popular choices in the poll, but included an "other" option if you have a different choice. If you ask me, Catwoman wins by a landslide. That movie is simply painful to sit through, even compared with Green Lantern's terrible CGI and Snyder's universe of doom and gloom.

 

[shauner111]

Catwoman for sure.

 

[jonathancrane]

Catwoman.

Catwoman. I can at least watch Batman and Robin and have fun with it.

 

[SpideyZERO]

BvS. Because I actually put tons of hope in it and it destroyed me

 

[psylockolussus]

Superman IV

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Catwoman. Nothing redeeming about it at all. At least the other bad films have something. Superman IV isn't even finished, but at least it has Christopher Reeve and it is so laughably awful that you can enjoy making fun of crap like Nuclear Man. Catwoman manages to pull the rare double of being astoundingly stupid and horrifically boring at the same time.

 

[famicommander]

Every one on the list except Constantine, Man of Steel, and Batman vs Superman is irredeemably horrible. Those three aren't terrible but they aren't great either.

Catwoman is the worst, though.

The only live action DC films I consider unequivocally good are Batman 66, Superman the Movie, Wes Craven's Swamp Thing, Tim Burton's first Batman, and Red.

 

[Fincher]

I haven't seen all of those (including Catwoman, which is well in the lead), but from what I have seen it's The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (if that counts), followed by the original Superman.

 

[Boom]

Catwoman.

 

[FunkMiller]

Funny. I never really gave a **** about Catwoman. It was just a spin off movie, and even though it was terrible, it didn't affect much in the long run.

Batman & Robin single handedly killed the most successful superhero franchise in history to that point, put DC comics movies back years, and allowed Marvel to take over. It made Batman a laughing stock, and was a hideously misjudged, miscast and cynically designed waste of money designed to exclusively sell toys.

Worst CBM ever.

 

[Rowsdower!]

It's debatable whether Catwoman should actually be included in this list, since the ONLY thing the movie had in common with the comic book character was the name. And even then, it's only the superhero name, not the actually character's name. At least the other films made an ATTEMPT to adapt the source material on some level.

If WB was unable to recover Batman from B&R, then I'd hate that film with every fiber of my being. But Nolan's trilogy was born from that wreckage, so I've softened up on B&R quite a bit. I actually pop it in from time to time. Now that I've got a stellar Batman trilogy, I can watch that film for what it is and manage to get a good laugh out of it.

Batman & Robin, in this poll, in any poll of worst films made.

Believe it or not, Catwoman is in the same continuity as the '89-'97 Batman films. I originally thought that photo of Selina Kyle from BR (seen among mentor-woman's research material) was just an easter egg from the prop department, but no. I actually got ahold of the Catwoman's shooting script, and the picture is specified to be there. The whole mythology about the cat spirits was legitimately supposed to be a retroactive explanation of how Selina survived her fall and why she changed so much afterwards.

 

[C. Lee]

The only one on the list I haven't seen is BvS....so it isn't included in my consideration.

Of the list......I would have to say a tie between Catwoman and Jonah Hex....because they both deviated so far from the original character from the comics.

Catwoman has not been portrayed as a magical being in the comics.

Jonah Hex has not been portrayed in the comics as being able to raise and talk to dead people.

 

[The Joker]

Catwoman. There is literally nothing decent about that movie. Even Batman and Robin has a great Alfred performance from Michael Gough going for it. But Catwoman has nothing.

Ugh. Yet another reason why Burton's retooled, mystical Catwoman origin was a horrible idea.

Batman V Superman...


Why?


It did the most damage of them all. Some of the others were worse films, but BVS shamed all of DC in one fell swoop, and doomed the DCEU to mediocrity.

Sorry but I second this. Sad but true

 

[flickchick85]

I didn't see Jonah Hex, so I've gotta go with Catwoman here. B&R is indeed terrible, but it's an entertaining kind of terrible that I can deal with, lol. Catwoman has no redeeming or watchable qualities at all.

 

[Brother Jack]

DC has put out a lot of bad movies over the years.

 

[Lantern Venom]

Do a web search to see Halle Berry in her Catwoman costume. After that 3 seconds or so, you've just seen the only redeeming quality in that unspeakable blight on the history of DC/Batman/CBMs.

 

[Quasimod0]

I agree that Catwoman is an awful film. Just terrible. But it is a ton of fun to watch and make fun of. There is a lot to pick apart.
