DCEU Ranking

My friends and I have been debating how the DCEU movies stack up against each other, and I’m curious what you guys think. Mine is as follows from best to worst:

  1. Wonder Woman
  2. Aquaman
  3. Man of Steel
  4. Justice League
  5. Suicide Squad/Batman v Superman Director’s Cut
  6. BvS Theatrical Cut

I must admit though that I really enjoy BvS. It’s such a pretentious disaster, and I love it.

I rewatch all of them and they all have pros and cons. But here’s my ranking of favorites. *Note: just because something is on the bottom of my list does not mean I hated it, it’s just not my favorite.

  1. Wonder Woman
  2. Aquaman
  3. BvS Extended Cut
  4. Man of Steel
  5. Justice League
  6. Suicide Squad

Batman v Superman (specifically the ultimate cut) is my favorite movie of all time, and I discover something new almost every time I watch it.

My ranking would be;

Batman v Superman
Aquaman
Wonder Woman
Man of Steel
Justice League
Suicide Squad

Man of Steel and Wonder Woman are mostly interchangeable, but I really love the DCEU movies and the only one I struggle watching is Suicide Squad

Below is my personal ranking of the DCEU films. Open to being edited/changed whenever another film is released.

  1. Joker
  2. Wonder Woman
  3. Zack Snyder’s Justice League
  4. Birds of Prey
  5. Aquaman
  6. Shazam
  7. Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Cut)
  8. Man of Steel
  9. Wonder Woman 1984
  10. Suicide Squad
  11. Justice League

nice list-so I don’t count Joker as it feels like in a complete different genre, while the others could all be considered action movie it struck me as more social commentary, so I’d rate it differently.

1.wonder woman
2Birds of Prey-if they hadn’t messed up Cass this would be number 1
3. Shazam
4Aquaman–the amber heard stuff just brings it down a ranking for me
Snyder cut- i dislike his style, a lot. but i enjoy the story :woman_shrugging:
WW1984
BVS-memes aside it is a decent movie even if it is 80% set up
suicide squad-this movie is most enjoyable with a skip button and if you have the flu
Justice league-Wheadon edition-boring and uncomfortable use of charcters
MoS-may be better than the last two but I could never even get myself interested enough to watch it

I define the DCEU as any major DC film released starting in 2013. And by major, I mean in terms of publicity and marketing, or at least that is part of how I define it. So while that unfortunately won’t include animated films, it does include Joker and will continue similar DC films like it. It works because they said they want to take a multiverse approach with their films anyway

oh yeah sure i just would rate joker by different criteria than the others

Haven’t seen all the movies

1.Wonder Woman
2.Man of Steel
3.Suicide Squad
4.WW84
5.Batman v Superman

side-note: just from clips I’ve seen of Shazam looks like a fun movie so maybe that’d go in #2 or #1. MoS, Suicide Squad, WW84 ‘might’ be interchangeable, not sure. Only seen each one once and besides Wonder Woman 1 no real desire to rewatch any of em’.

My new ranking as of April 2021:

  1. Man Of Steel
  2. Zack Snyder’s Justice League
  3. Aquaman, Birds Of Prey (tie)
  4. Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition
  5. Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman 84 (tie)
  6. Shazam
  7. Suicide Squad
  8. Justice League

If we’re including Joker, I’d probably slot it in between BvS and the WW films.

This is getting harder with each new release. Updated rankings as of August 2021:

  1. Man Of Steel
  2. Zack Snyder’s Justice League
  3. Birds Of Prey
  4. The Suicide Squad
  5. Batman v Superman Ultimate Edition (moved up because ZSJL pays off so much of what was originally left open)
  6. Aquaman
  7. Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman 84 (tie)
  8. Suicide Squad (moved up because having the sequel makes Harley & Flagg’s intros more important to the DCEU overall)
  9. Shazam
  10. Justice League

Hmm…

  1. Zack Snyder’s Justice League
  2. Wonder Woman
  3. Batman v Superman
  4. Aquaman
  5. Shazam
  6. Wonder Woman 1984
  7. Suicide Squad
  8. Birds of Prey
  9. The Suicide Squad
  10. Man of Steel

I didn’t rank the theatrical cut of Justice League, but I’d put it right below James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. I should also note that the films in slots 6-9 are almost interchangeable. They all disappoint me in some way, but none of them anger me as much as Man of Steel does.
