10 Worst Performances In The DCEU (So Far)

6. Patrick Wilson - Orm Marius/Ocean Master

This was an odd one. This was actually a well-written villain who could definitely have been really good with a stronger performance, but the often-excellent Patrick Wilson just didn't seem very interested and played it all far too quiet and straight.

Given the OTT nature of the character, a hammier and more flamboyant performance was needed to make him truly work but Wilson just didn't do that at all. Since the script developed the character just fine Ocean Master feels like an enormous missed opportunity in retrospect.

He's not quite the worst performer from Aquaman (more on that shortly) but in a largely good ensemble cast, he certainly sticks out as one of the weakest links.
