15 Best Performances In The DCEU (So Far)

14. Amber Heard - Mera

Black Mask Birds of Prey
Warner Bros.

Setting the recent controversies aside for just one minute (which could see her replaced in Aquaman 2), Amber Heard was an excellent Mera who more than held her own opposite Jason Momoa and crafted one of the most compelling superhero love interests of recent years.

She's effortlessly likeable, humanised and has a ton of chemistry with Jason Momoa; it's partly thanks to her that Aquaman and Mera was the rare superhero movie love story that truly worked.

It's a surprise that Heard was as good as she was here, since her career so far hasn't exactly been a critical smash. This is probably her best performance to date.
