Every DCEU Movie Ranked From Worst To Best (According To IMDb)

Over the years there have been some simply incredible movies to come from DC Comics. The entire Christopher Nolan trilogy is naturally top of the list, in particular the Dark Knight, and the recent success of Joker has shown that Warner Bros. still has a potentially lucrative and successful franchise on their hands.

Yet recently, with the creation of the DCEU, the franchise has become more synonymous with missing the mark than hitting it. The studio's answer to the Marvel Cinematic Universe currently stands at just seven movies, the majority of which have been met with more than their fair share of criticisms.

Even the timeline and continuity of the shared universe has recently become uncertain with the introduction of a new Batman and Joker, and the soft reboot/sequel/whatever the hell The Suicide Squad is being classed as.

With all of the negativity however, there are some strong moments and building blocks for the future of the franchise already laid out, and with Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman 1984, and James Gunn's DC debut on the horizon, the franchise could have a very bright future. While this still remains to be seen, the history is set, and ranked thanks to the audiences via IMDb's user ratings score.

Margot Robbie's performance as Harley Quinn was entertaining in Suicide Squad, almost single-handedly influencing the 2016 Halloween scene and earning her own spin off for 2020. In terms of positives to take from David Ayer's DC debut however, this was about it.

The story made little to no sense and was riddled with plot holes, the soundtrack, particularly the opening shuffle of songs, was jarring at best, and the less said about Cara Delevingne's June Moon/Enchantress the better.

What was possibly most disappointing about the movie was that the marketing campaign made it look like an incredible, fun filled, almost Guardians inspired movie, heavily featuring the brand new iteration of the Joker. What we got couldn't have been further from this, and any movie that reduces the Clown Prince of Crime to a ten minute cameo deserves a score this low.

For the moment there is a lot of buzz around James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, scheduled for release in 2021, but there is confusion over whether it is a reboot or a sequel. Though it has been described as the former previously, the presence of several returning characters makes it hard to comprehend. Hopefully the new movie can lessen the bad taste left by the 2016 version, and stop the fact that Amanda Waller knows Bruce Wayne's secret from being completely irrelevant.
