DC Extended Universe Movies Ranked

Louilink rating: 9.3/10. Snyder's expanded vision gives Cyborg and the entire team stronger emotional arcs while turning the battle against Steppenwolf into an operatic superhero epic. Its long runtime is indulgent, but the richer characterization and mythic scale pay off.

Louilink rating: 9.1/10. Affleck's weary Batman and Cavill's conflicted Superman anchor a visually striking clash of ideals. The dense plotting and abrupt resolution remain divisive, but its ambition, atmosphere, and Wonder Woman's introduction are memorable.

Louilink rating: 8.9/10. Robbie's Harley Quinn and Smith's Deadshot give this unruly antihero ensemble personality. Choppy editing and an unconvincing villain undermine the mission, but the cast and rebellious tone make it intermittently entertaining.

Louilink rating: 8.7/10. Billy Batson's discovery of his powers brings genuine comedy and warmth to the superhero formula. Levi and Grazer make an excellent comic pairing, and the foster-family story provides heart despite a forgettable CGI-heavy climax.

Louilink rating: 8.6/10. Gadot's conviction and Pine's charm carry a stirring World War I origin story. The No Man's Land sequence captures Diana's compassion and courage beautifully, even if the final showdown leans too heavily on digital spectacle.

Louilink rating: 8.4/10. Johnson's imposing antihero clashes with an engaging Justice Society, particularly Hodge's Hawkman and Brosnan's Doctor Fate. The action rarely lets up, but repetitive destruction and thin characterization limit its impact.

Louilink rating: 8.3/10. Gunn delivers anarchic action, outrageous humor, and surprising tenderness through an ensemble of damaged outsiders. Ratcatcher 2 and Bloodsport give the mayhem a welcome human center, even when the tone turns abrasive.

Louilink rating: 8.1/10. Cavill's introspective Superman faces an intense General Zod in a visually spectacular origin story. Snyder's serious tone creates grandeur but leaves the hero's optimism underexplored amid the destruction-heavy finale.

Louilink rating: 7.9/10. Gadot remains compelling, and Pascal brings eccentric energy to Maxwell Lord, but the magical wish premise becomes tangled in inconsistent rules and uneven pacing. Its sincere message about sacrifice is stronger than its execution.

Louilink rating: 7.7/10. The theatrical team-up has enjoyable moments among its heroes, but rushed introductions, inconsistent tone, and a thin Steppenwolf storyline make it feel compromised. The ensemble's potential is greater than the finished film.

Louilink rating: 7.5/10. Robbie's Harley Quinn leads a colorful, irreverent Gotham adventure full of energetic fights and chaotic narration. The fragmented structure leaves some supporting heroes underdeveloped, but the movie has personality to spare.

Louilink rating: 7.3/10. Maridueña's Jaime Reyes is a likable hero, and his family's close bonds give the alien-scarab origin story a warm emotional center. Familiar villains and plot beats hold back an otherwise charming adventure.

Louilink rating: 7.1/10. Billy's foster family returns for more playful superhero antics and elaborate fantasy battles. The overstuffed villain story and nonstop jokes dilute the original's charm, though the family theme remains appealing.

Louilink rating: 6.9/10. Wan's dazzling underwater kingdoms and Momoa's swagger make for an exuberant fantasy spectacle. Predictable story turns and exposition-heavy scenes keep the adventure from matching its remarkable visual imagination.

Louilink rating: 6.7/10. Reynolds brings charm and Strong adds gravitas, but uneven effects and an underwritten villain squander the cosmic premise. This 2011 film predates the DCEU and is included here because it already appears in the original ranking.

Louilink rating: 6.5/10. Momoa and Wilson have fun with an uneasy brotherly alliance, but rushed storytelling and uneven digital action keep Black Manta's return from becoming a satisfying finale.
