- Shazam. In terms of sheer, unadulterated fun David F. Sandberg's Shazam! just can't be beaten. Starring Asher Angel as Billy Batson and Zachary Levi as the adult superhero he transforms into, Shazam!
- Wonder Woman. Undeniably the most influential film in the DCEU to date, Wonder Woman broke the glass ceiling for female superheroes. Patty Jenkins' movie was lovingly-crafted, and proved a female-led superhero flick could be a success - it grossed over $800 million worldwide.
- Aquaman. Starring Jason Momoa as the titular hero, Aquaman is one of DC's strongest films to date. It's not a perfect movie - there are problems with the CGI, and the glorified "treasure hunt" plot doesn't quite work - but Aquaman is buoyed by director James Wan's lavish world-building as he explores DC's version of Atlantis.
- Birds of Prey. Cathy Yan's Birds of Prey is really a Harley Quinn movie with various badass female characters as backup. And it's exactly what you'd expect from a Harley Quinn film; a madcap rollercoaster ride through Gotham City, as Harley struggles to escape the Joker's shadow while saving a teenage pickpocket who's unwittingly become Gotham's Most Wanted.

Directed by David Ayer
What an absolute mess. I was so excited for Suicide Squad because it looked weird and different with a great cast and David Ayer behind the camera, but it couldn’t have turned out to be more disappointing. The film couldn’t even come up with a solid reason for why a team of superheroes would be entrusted with a mission, and the main conflict is a result of Amanda Waller being a total dummy (Viola Davisshows she can do anything by making you believe in that character even though on the page Wa...
Directed by Zack Snyder
The Extended Cut (aka the “Ultimate Edition”) of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is slightly better than the theatrical cut only insofar as the movie makes slightly more sense. There’s still no explanation as to what Lex would have done with Doomsday had he succeeded in killing Superman or why Bruce Wayne’s dreams can see into a possible future, but you at least get a clearer sense of what Zack Snyderwas going for with his superhero smackdown. Unfortunately, his approach essentially retrea...

Yes, it’s slightly better than Batman v Superman, and yes, given its turbulent production, it could have been much worse. But when you look at all the potential, Justice League should have been so much better. Warner Bros. had just as much time from the start of their universe (Man of Steel) as Marvel did (Iron Man), but in four years, they couldn’t crack the formula and instead created a rush job where they tried to simply pile in a bunch of new characters and hoped that audiences would get...
Directed by Patty Jenkins
There are things to like in Wonder Woman 1984. Pedro Pascal's Maxwell Lord is an absolute blast, and Kristen Wiig acquits herself well as Barbara Minerva/Cheetah. Also, like in the first Wonder Woman, the Diana/Steve Trevor stuff fires on all cylinders as Gal Gadot and Chris Pinehave tremendous chemistry, and 1984 provides a nice inversion by having Steve awed by the world rather than Diana like in the previous movie. But every strength in this film is smothered under an avalanche of atrociou...

Look, there have clearly been worse DC movies than Shazam! Fury of the Gods, without a doubt, but I don't know that there's ever been a more irritating DC hero than Zachary Levi's Shazam in Fury of the Gods. The character's dialogue boils down to exhausted pop culture references and lazy jokes that don't anywhere near Marvel's attempt at a high-school superhero in Spider-Man.It's a shame that the weakest part of Fury of the Godsis its title hero. Fury of the Gods also has the issue of having...
Directed by James Wan
The biggest problem with Aquaman is that it’s massive without being ambitious. It would be one thing if director James Wan had crammed plenty of crazy ideas into his superhero sci-fi fantasy, but the plot is painfully conventional, and the film seems desperate to steal ideas from other movies without every finding much of a personality of its own. That’s a shame because Jason Momoais incredibly genial and charismatic, putting his own stamp on the character that makes him feel unique among sup...
Directed by Zack Snyder
Like with Batman v Superman, I can see kind of what Zack Snyder was going for with Man of Steel. He didn’t want to do what Richard Donner and Bryan Singer had done with the character, and it felt like he needed to go in a more “realistic” direction while still delivering big-screen bombast that would allow him to really throw down against a worthy opponent. So technically, Man of Steelsucceeds at what it attempts to do insofar as it tries to be more realistic with Clark’s abilities—likening t...
Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra
After over a decade of trying to bring the title character to the screen, Black Adam isn't exactly the DCEU revolution that Dwayne Johnson thought it would be. The Jaume Collet-Serra-directed antihero story stumbles in many of the ways that these films always have: a bland villain, plenty of MacGuffins, and an occasionally convoluted story. And yet, Black Adamallows DC to play in darker themes for the first time in a way that doesn't feel like an odd choice for these characters and this world...
Directed by David F. Sandberg
Shazam! benefits from largely knowing exactly the kind of movie it wants to be. It's Big with superheroes. That's a simple enough premise, but director David F. Sandberg gets a lot of mileage out of it by leaning into the humor and heart of a kid who gets superpowers. The film also doesn't shy away from the irresponsibility a teenager would have by being a superhero, and naturally young Billy Batson (Asher Angel) who transforms into the adult Shazam (Zachary Levi) when he shouts "Shazam!" has...
Directed by Andy Muschietti
After decades in development, several delays, and shifting creating teams, Barry Allen's (Ezra Miller) solo cinematic adventure mostly brings to life the promise of the highly-ambitious Flashpoint comic storyline. Director Andy Muschietti heads into this multiverse of madness with playfulness and plenty of fan service, from the return of Michael Keaton as Batman, to some truly shocking cameos in the final act. DC has never quite played with its long cinematic history in this way, and it's qui...
