With 15 films under its interconnected belt, Marvel\u2019s been able to drop a range of movies from mid to marvelous in an eight-year span. Those are far from the first Marvel movies, though;\u00a0<em>Blade<\/em>\u00a0was seen as its true boon back in a decade before\u00a0<em>Iron Man<\/em>flew into the scene, and they were dropping terrible Punisher film adaptations as far back as 1989 (word to Dolph Lundgren). While DC might have been a bit late to the Cinematic Universe party, the DC Extended Universe received its first success in the form of\u00a0<em>Wonder Woman<\/em>, which has murdered all expectations for DC films while sweeping up millions at the box office. Sadly, they\u2019d been in the movie business proper since the late 1970s.DC\u2019s seen some amazing successes; Michael Keaton\u2019s first Batman flick was a behemoth for kids at the cinema, and before him, there was Christopher Reeve becoming Superman. Sadly, as bad as Marvel\u2019s entire movie track record could get at times, DC might have had it worse. In looking back at the 20 films that you can consider proper DC superhero films, they\u2019ve shit the bed on a number of occasions.Today, in the spirit of seeing how far DC has come cinematically, here\u2019s the definitive ranking of DC Comics\u2019 superhero films, from worst to\u00a0<em>Wonder Woman<\/em>*.<\/p>\n<p>*OK, so we all know that\u00a0<em>Wonder Woman<\/em>\u00a0isn\u2019t No. 1, but that HED is too fire not to use.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"scene_11928\" class=\"featured-story__scene\">\n<div class=\"featured-scene featured-scene--quote\">\n<blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"quote\">22.

James Wan (the Australian writer\/director\/producer who brought us horror franchises like\u00a0<em>Saw<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Insidious<\/em>, and\u00a0<em>The Conjuring<\/em>) helmed this long-awaited dive into the depths of DC&#8217;s aquatic escape known as Atlantis to bring us Jason Momoa&#8217;s Aquaman. Set some time after the events of\u00a0<em>Justice League<\/em>, this film had to do a lot: it had to make a dude who talks to fish believable as a hero, tell this person&#8217;s origin story, AND help establish him as a true force in the DCEU all in two hours. Well, the film clocks in at 143 minutes, but somewhere in there is a very fun, very mid superhero film. Highlights include the opening sequence, with Aquaman\u00a0doing battle with David Kane (who will soon become the Black Manta, portrayed by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) inside of a submarine. There&#8217;s a boatload of CGI&#8217;d\u00a0hair, some insane water-enabled firepower, and a third act which features a Kraken-esque\u00a0create wreaking havoc on all kinds of aquatic soldiers. It&#8217;s a fun ride, with some truly intense moments (you have to see this in IMAX for that scene with the Trenches alone), but is lacking something overall to take it above what Gal Gadot, Patty Jenkins, and company did with\u00a0<em>Wonder Woman<\/em>. \u2014khal<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"scene_11968\" class=\"featured-story__scene\">\n<div class=\"featured-scene featured-scene--quote\">\n<blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"quote\">8.
