[eBook] The Best DC Comics Movies of All Time

Patty Jenkins' Wonder Woman sent shockwaves through audiences by showing how winning unalloyed idealism could play out on screen, yet isn't the only DC movie worth seeing.

Zack Snyder's adaptation of the graphic novel that some non-fanboys consider a masterpiece may be overlong and too preoccupied with an atmosphere of Importance; nonetheless, his version is superior to Joss Whedon's film adaptation of it.

Batman (1989)

As the inaugural modern DC movie, this movie set the scene for all that followed and introduced some key players. Boasting an ominous visual style and Academy Award-winning costume design, this film set the bar high for subsequent DC flicks while showing that superheroes can evoke emotion and awe as much as action spectacles; not to mention an impressive cast and captivating plotline led by George Reeves as Superman who brought this iconic tale alive onscreen. It remains an inspiration today.

DC films had begun to lose steam following Batman, making some risky aesthetic choices and narrative bets that didn't pay off (think Knightmare flash-forward in Man of Steel). Thanks to some behind-the-scenes changes and allowing directors like James Wan take control of their properties, DC is back on track and 2018 should see reboots of Wonder Woman and The Flash that should satisfy audiences alike.

Nostalgic fans of the original will love this exciting action-adventure film with Michael Keaton as its dark knight and Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard's iconic soundtrack will find much to enjoy here.

This movie stands as the ultimate Batman experience and serves as a benchmark for all superhero films. With an imposing visual presence that induces fear, iconic scenes such as the unveiling of the Batsignal over Gotham Cathedral, and Michael Gough as Alfred (arguably his finest performance ever!), along with some truly memorable scenes introducing Alfred and adding depth to their relationship together; it should not be missed by comic book fans! This is truly essential viewing!

Superman (1978)

Hard to imagine now, Hollywood didn't care much for superhero films until Richard Donner's Superman arrived on the scene in 1978 and established itself as an industry benchmark. It proved that you could make an enjoyable superhero movie without resorting to campy lowbrow fare.

Superman was the first superhero film to truly capture the essence of its title character with top-tier acting from Reeve, Hackman and Kidder, stunning cinematography, a heartwarming father-son story about responsibility and stunning cinematography - making it appealing to both casual moviegoers as well as diehard fans of comic book comic books alike. It combined campy comic book fun with serious storytelling which allowed it to connect with both casual audiences as well as fans alike.

This movie introduced audiences to a character previously seen only through George Reeves serials and cartoons of that era, showing audiences there was nothing that one person couldn't accomplish given enough hard work and commitment.

While this movie does have some problems, it also contains many iconic scenes and an emotionally powerful conclusion. Superman's use of time travel to save Lois stands out both character-wise and thematically satisfyingly at the conclusion of his story; some critics have even questioned its arbitrary nature; nonetheless it fits within the tone of the film and sends a strong message about responsibility when given power.

Superman's epic fight with Gus Skiff is both thrilling and action-packed, yet all the more impressive due to how corrupted Superman had become by his desire for power, becoming an immoral, dark version of himself. However, his morality was ultimately restored through words spoken by his adoptive parents that reached deep within. Once restored, Superman triumphantly took flight once more into the sunset.

Green Lantern (1995)

While comic fans typically become frustrated when an adaptation diverges too greatly from its source material, Green Lantern stands out. Packed full of mythology relating to DC's intergalactic police officers and their magical rings, the movie contains far too much material that leaves viewers confused; this wasn't caused by Ryan Reynolds who gave his all; rather it stems from its weak narrative structure.

This film's biggest misstep lies in its attempt to show how Hal Jordan became a superhero. Instead of just starting him on his cosmic journey, the movie begins by depicting his life on Earth before introducing all sorts of other characters such as Tomar-Re, Kilowog, and Sinestro; overburdening viewers and failing to establish an emotional bond with any character or their motivations.

Another issue is the absence of an engaging villain. Being a Green Lantern film, audiences should expect an antagonist with powerful abilities and eye-catching costumes; unfortunately, in this one they get just some generic alien wearing an ugly outfit and barely any noticeable powers. Even memorable scenes from Green Lantern (surviving planet explosion and fighting messengers of death) fail to deliver due to poor writing and acting from both actors involved.

There are certainly a few high points in this movie, from its impressive special effects to surprisingly lighthearted parts and Superman fans will surely appreciate a goofy scene where Hal Jordan attempts to straighten out Pisa Tower.

At a time when each DC movie seems like an epic battle for the fate of the universe, it's important to have some fun and remember that they can still be enjoyable without all the high stakes and fantastic special effects. And who could forget when Halle Berry played Catwoman?!

Suicide Squad (2014)

Suicide Squad was the first DC movie to truly challenge traditional Hollywood moviemaking techniques and break out of its comfort zone with regard to style, narrative and action. It's one of the best too; Gal Gadot as charismatic Princess Diana and Jared Leto as cackling Joker bring some serious pop-culture flair. However, its bold aesthetic choices and daring narrative bets have since backfired on Warner Brothers; instead focusing more on individual character strengths has become paramount, like in this year's lighthearted Shazam!

This movie follows Amanda Waller, the head of Belle Reve Penitentiary, as she recruits an unlikely group of criminals - both humans and metahumans alike - to carry out black ops missions for her on behalf. Waller believes they can save humankind from Lex Luthor and his minions' threat of destruction; thus she recruits everyone from humanoid crocodiles with bayou drawls to ancient witches known for stealing military secrets into her team of black-ops agents.

DC Comics had previously featured many of these villains in animated series like Justice League Unlimited and Smallville; however, Suicide Squad marked their first big screen outing as an unbroken unit and gave these characters legitimacy that their smaller-screen counterparts never quite achieved.

Not to be outdone, the film was an enormous hit with audiences and set a precedent for later DC movies to explore more experimental genres. Additionally, its gritty humor made it an approachable entry point into the franchise compared to Man of Steel or Batman v Superman.

It marks the first DC movie to showcase all major heroes from its controversial 1980s lineup, such as Joker and Harley Quinn - two characters that have since become some of the most beloved pop culture characters - both featured prominently in video game series such as Arkham and DC's immensely popular Injustice game series.

At this point, Avengers: Endgame would also mark the first time in which two major stars from each side would square off against one another; an event which would later continue with James Gunn-helmed Suicide Squad sequels like Deadshot and Suicide Squad 2.
