10 Worst Performances In The DCEU (So Far)

1. Cara Delevingne - Enchantress

It couldn't have been anything else at number one. This is not only the worst performance in this franchise, but it's one of the worst performances ever to feature in a superhero movie.

This howlingly awful, over-the-top and un-intimidating performance feels like something out of a Friedberg and Seltzer spoof and it's genuinely excruciating to watch. With her unintentionally hilarious facial expressions and awful line delivery (done in Delevinge's native English accent, which felt wildly out of place here), Delevinge simply couldn't have been less scary if she'd tried.

In fairness to her, it was a hard character to make work but even so, Enchantress didn't need to be this awful. She could've just been another boring superhero movie villain, rather than one of the all-time worst.

So this is, by far and away, the worst DCEU performance so far. To be honest, given the continued winning streak this franchise is on, it's hard to imagine anything this bad coming along again anytime soon.
