Must add that there hasn’t really been a DC movie I outright didn’t like. They’re all entertaining in my opinion.
Here’s my ranking out as of 2021. I agree @moro I can’t think of one I outright didn’t like.
My opinion of the movies is largely colored by my expectations going in, but sometimes my impression on them evolve. So I’ll provide this indirect ranking
Movies that were without doubt superior by anyone’s standards:
Movies that were a massive relief they didn’t turn out bad:
Movies where I was embarassed by the quality of the dialogue:
Movies that I found irritating in the content they chose to present:
Movies where I had to ask WTF several times:
Movies that struck me as at least fairly good:
And, if you were to rate them by the metacritic score most commonly given to each film (so the only score that counts is the review rating that comes up most often), they’d be in this order:
The Suicide Squad 80
Wonder woman 80
Shazam 75
Birds of Prey 75
Wonder Woman 1984 60
Suicide Squad 50
Justice League 50
Snyder cut 50
Aquman 50
Man of Steel 50
Batman v Superman 40
Meant to post an updated list last week after I saw Black Adam. Amazing that it’s been a full year since the last update.
Also, if I was going to add Joker and The Batman they would both go in my top 5.
I still haven’t watched Aquaman yet, and I own it, lol!!!
1.) Batman V. Superman in general. I saw the theatrical and I loved it! Is the Director’s Cut better? Well…yeah! But that’s how much I love it!
2.) Zack Snyder’s Justice League
3.) Man of Steel
4.) Wonder Woman 1984
5.) Wonder Woman
6.) Birds of Prey
7.) Suicide Squad
8.) Black Adam
9.) Shazam
10.) The Suicide Squad
no I am not including that piece of crap from the theaters in late 2017!
1 Tree Star
The Suicide Squad (I only got through 45 minutes)
2 Tree Stars
Birds of Prey
Man of Steel
Batman V. Superman
Wonder Woman 1984
3 Tree Stars
Justice League
4 Tree Stars
Black Adam
Wonder Woman
Shazam
Aquaman
I have not seen Suicide Squad. That leads to an average of 2.8 per movie for a very unimpressive rating.
Here’s where I’m leaning right now.
1-4 are my favorites by far. 5-7 are pretty good. 8-10 are decent, if seriously flawed. 11-13 are very frustrating to me, though I wouldn’t call any of them unwatchable.
(I just checked my previous post, and I appear to have remained consistent except with Shazam and Aquaman, which I reversed this time around. Honestly, they’re on equal ground.)
I struggle a bit with the concept of “ranking” stuff. Is it not enough to just like/dislike stuff to various degrees? Anyways, for the fun of it:
1- Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition)
2- Man of Steel
3- Zack Snyder’s Justice League
4- Wonder Woman
5- Black Adam
6- Aquaman
7- Shazam
8- The Suicide Squad
9- Wonder Woman 1984
10- Suicide Squad
11- Birds of Prey
Compared to before:
Guess I was mostly consistent; couple of flip flops, but general placement is the same-ish, with the exception of Wonder Woman 1984, which has not aged well with me. Fantastic score on that movie though.
Still waiting on the DCU to top the Snyder movies. It will happen for me at some point, probably with whatever Cavill has cooking with Superman. Yes I am biased 
If I were to place The Batman on the list I’d reserve a spot for it a couple rungs below Birds of Prey 
.
As far as I’m concerned, the theatrical cut of Justice League doesn’t exist. Honestly, there isn’t a movie/show in this that I completely hate.
Same here
complete with letter grades
waiting to see on tv someday
Wonder Woman 84
never seen the rest and have absolutely NO desire to do so (including Black Adam)
Why is SS a struggle for you? I know it deviated the tone and is viciously violent which is hard for me to stomach. I did enjoy the movie with a good cast but did close my eyes at the extremely graphic so I only saw half the movie 
. I’m just wondering if you didn’t like the story or style.
Almost all lists I have seen put it dead last.
When I first saw Suicide Squad, I LOVED IT! Hell, the wife and I saw it twice! Looking back…eh. I won’t jump on the hate bandwagon for it because that’s not me. It floats near the bottom more just because there are several movies I like more than it. I take it over Gunn’s, given I am tired of Gunn’s immature middle schooler humor.
Even though I have it near the bottom of my list (beating out only the theatrical JL) I do think it’s a fun action movie. I don’t even think it’s a bad adaptation – it uses a lot of the characters most often associated with Task Force X and has some great casting (Amanda Waller, Harley Quinn, and Captain Boomerang are the standouts). But between the studio interference and a villain who just doesn’t fit with that group of characters, it feels like a missed opportunity.
I love The Suicide Squad, but when I think of the comic book Suicide Squad I don’t really think of humour (maybe I just haven’t read enough of them). But if you could take the cast and tone of Ayer’s Suicide Squad and the plot of Gunn’s Suicide Squad I think you’d have a really great movie.
Based on your top three picks I definitely think you should check out WW84. It’s closer in tone to Shazam! and Aquaman (goofy fun that doesn’t take itself too seriously) than the three you give failing grades.
It was on TNT the other day, but I forgot to watch it.
Well if I know anything about TNT it’s that they play the same thing over and over (and over) so you’ll probably get another chance soon.
