Hey everyone!
 
After my last article on ranking the MCU films, I decided to create the same for the DC films.  Because the DCEU has only 3 released films so far, and all the films based on DC Comics number in the hundreds, I have limited the films for this ranking to live-action DC universe superhero films released between 2005 to today.  I didn't want a giant amount of movies included for ease of ranking, and older movies complicate the judgement due to vastly different technologies and the effects of nostalgia. That means this only includes The Dark Knight trilogy, the DCEU, Green Lantern (2011), and Superman Returns (2006).

To vote, simply assign your favorite as 1, second favorite as 2, least favorite as 8, etc.  After everyone has voted, the ranks for each movie will be added up.  The movie with the lowest summed number will be the favorite and the movie with the highest summed number will be the least favorite.  To ensure accurate results, you must assign each movie a rank.  Leaving a movie out is equivalent to ranking it 0, which would place it above first place.
 
To remind everyone of the 8 movies included, they are:
Batman Begins
Superman Returns
The Dark Knight
Green Lantern
The Dark Knight Rises
Man of Steel
Batman v Superman
Suicide Squad

@NoMeaning45 - It's an off-main editorial.
It should be very tame, regardless of involving the DCEU or not.

I mean, in just seeing what everyone really thinks of these DC films

I will say that I don't hate any of these DC films.


I like some parts of GL, though I do have a distaste for it.

And SS, a film that I've hated for awhile because of how big it was of a disappointment, I've come to atleast have some minimum fun with it.

Doesn't mean I like it at all

1. The Dark Knight (The only truly amazing film imo that DC has made)
2. Batman Begins

3. Man of Steel (This one surprised me actually. It may have lacked emotion but I personally loved that it actually seemed like gods were actually fighting)

4. The Dark Knight Rises
5. Batman vs Superman

(These last 3 deserve the worst spot together but only superman returns actually looked awful to me even from the first trailer where the other 2 gave false hope and had me hoping for the best)
6. Suicide Squad
7. Green Lantern
8. Superman Returns

Very surprised at the amount of people who prefer GL to SS and BvS.


I just didn't think the GL film had so many admirers. Neat.

TheDayman - 4/10/2017, 5:16 PM
@NoMeaning45 - Personally, it may just be because I haven't seen it in a while, but I can't remember anything really awful about GL, so I had it in front of those two.

favorites? favorites. i know the dark knight is a better movie than man of steel.

1. Man of Steel
2. the dark knight
3. batman begins
4. dark knight rises ]
5. Batman v Superman ] these two are close. both are entertaining, and both are a complete mess that makes me angry.

6. green lantern
7. superman returns

suicide squad isn't a movie.

I think your standards for what you decided to include was a little weird. I've got a lot of love for the Burton Batman films and the Donner Superman films. I don't think technology or when it comes out factors as much into what makes a movie good or not.

Regardless, here is my list based on the ranking system.

The Dark Knight
Batman Begins
The Dark Knight Rises
Superman Returns
Man of Steel
Batman v Superman
Green Lantern
Suicide Squad
