The Complete DCEU Ranked
With this universe finally being put to rest, this is my ranking of the films.
1. The Suicide Squad captures the true mayhem and fun that comic books are all about.
2. Peacemaker took an F-Tier unknown character and turned him into a near household name. James Gunn and John Cena obviously put so much passion and emotion into making this character more than a joke and they succeed on a scale higher than the A-Listers.
3. Man of Steel is a great modern take on Superman and I wish we could've seen Henry Cavill do more with the character.
4. Wonder Woman was a unique period piece and was executed in a fun way.
5. The Flash, though riddled with controversy, I feel the story was great and emotional and the subpar CGI didn't destroy the film for me.
6. Shazam takes a fun character and basically rips the story right out of the comic in a perfect adaptation of his origin.
7. Blue Beetle gives a great origin to an interesting character and wasn’t afraid to have fun with it.
8. Zack Snyder's Justice League was an improvement on the 2017 cut, but it didn't do enough to turn it into anything other than a pretty good.
9. Aquaman is carried by the ever-fun Jason Momoa and although the story is a bit boring at parts, it is a fun ride.
10. Black Adam was good, but being held down by Dwayne Johnson’s ego, it couldn’t take risks or give itself enough freedom to shine.
11. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is nearly criminal as the first meeting of the most iconic characters of all time. It should be studied how this film came and went and left little to no impact.
12. Justice League is a mangled editing mess, but had some promising moments throughout. Not a great film, but not the worst.
13. Wonder Woman 1984 was messy, though had some potential. Picking one out of Cheetah, Maxwell Lord or Eclipso as the main villain could’ve helped the story feel more organized.
14. Birds of Prey tried its best to be fun, but with its feet grounded firmly in reality, the more outlandish parts were left feeling shoehorned in. Black Mask stands out as a charismatic villain that should have had more screen time.
15. Shazam: Fury of the Gods is a good sequel, but it suffers from being boring and bringing in original villains, it leaves nothing to be remembered.
16. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will go down as the forgotten final chapter in the DCEU and it deserves nothing more. Generic, slow, and unfunny, there are very little redeeming qualities here.
17. Suicide Squad was destroyed with editing and was a preface for the DCEU films yet to come. Always trying to chase a trend, even if it’s in the middle of production. Characters are completely pointless. Boring and convoluted most of the time. Just like Justice League, there is no cut of this film that makes it worth rewatching.
