8 Ways DC's TV Shows Have Already Beaten The Movies

4. Better Casting Choices

Warner Bros. has made some good casting choices for their DC Comics movies (as controversial as Ben Affleck being picked to play Batman may have been at first, it's become apparent that that was a solid decision), but they've also made a lot which border on being downright terrible. Jason Momoa is basically playing a wetter version of Khal Drogo, and as great as Ezra Miller is, he's not at all well suited to The Flash. Could those actors prove the doubters wrong? Of course, but those casting the TV shows seem to be much more in tune with the kind of actors who can effectively bring these characters to life in live-action. Melissa Benoist has been nothing short of excellent as Supergirl so far, while Tom Cavanagh's take on the Reverse-Flash has been a million times better than many of the big screen comic book villains we're used to seeing. There was a time when TV actors were considered beneath those who star in the movies, but that's really no longer the case, and the DC Comics TV shows are a great example of that. From Ben McKenzie as Jim Gordon to Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, this arm of Warner Bros. continue to knock it out of the park when it comes to casting, whereas the movies only seem to gain attention for their controversial choices!
