Clicked faster than the decline of the DCEU
Amen 🙏🏽
Amen brother
The video isn’t gonna run away from you. I don’t understand these “I clicked so fast!!!” Comments
I wouldn't call a full decade "fast" tho lol
lmao true af
Despite all the dceu flaws this universe did give us some cool fight scenes, some good casting, but I't always left us with what if idea
Sums it all up.
Yeah some cool fights and a couple billion spent on nothing 🤣🤣
Man of Steel has been my favorite DCEU film to date. Followed by Zach Snyder's Justice League and Batman Vs. Superman. It was different but also leaned into Superman: The Animated Series a little bit. I hope Superman Legecy leans a lot more into Superman: The Animated Series than what Man of Steel did.
Same here. Those are top 3. Especially BVS ultimate edition
Happy New Year, Cody! Discovering your channel was one of my favorite things in 2023. I have gone back and watched the majority of your videos and I've truly enjoyed them. Your knowledge and enthusiasm has accelerated my own movie fandom.
Here's to an amazing 2024! I will be with ya for the ride!!
This cinematic universe had so much potential and yet all of it got wasted because there were so many people who had completely different ideas and visions for how it should play out. It also doesn’t help that some of movies were despised by fans due to studio interference such as the Justice League movie or in this case as it’s now known as, Josstice League. And also, Warner Bros decided Amber Heard and Ezra Miller involved despite the controversy and backlash surrounding both of them.
Same applies with Universal's Dark Universe, as their Monsters franchise lasted nearly a century as of this comment, and should be reintroduced, let alone to new audiences unfamiliar with the likes of Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, The Wolfman, among others. It failed cuz The Mummy 2017 turned out to be so underwhelming and given more emphasis on Tom Cruise's ego than give respects to the 1932 original and 1999 reimagining.
WB letting very controversial and infamous celebrities Ezra "Criminal" Miller and Amber Heard roam free with the movies they're in, didn't help matters. The decision for both made them worse.
As a point of reference, I watched and took a lot of notes on all seventeen of these movies over the last two months. These are my updated thoughts on all of these movies.
16. Justice League 2017-An absolute abomination that essentially shows the worst of blockbuster filmmaking and studio interference, which makes for an unwatchable film, and one of my least favorite movies ever made
15. Suicide Squad-A classic example of WB micromanagement in this era of the franchise, leading to a deeply broken story, a choppy story structure, a lackluster antagonist, and a script that feels duct taped together by a group of producers
14. Wonder Woman 1984-While I do appreciate the ambitions that Patty Jenkins tried to reach, all of that ambition crumbles over its shoulders because of its nonsensical logic and lack of rules, which completely undermines the story, themes, character arcs, and overall payoff of all of those elements
13. The Flash-Despite enjoying this one a good bit both times I watched it in theaters, this movie has aged rather poorly for me because of how it executes multiple of its ideas, how the overall story is structured, the final moments, and especially how hollow Barry’s journey is by the time the movie wraps up
As another point of reference, I would go positive on the rest of these projects
12. Shazam! Fury of the Gods-Even though it loses a lot of the charm of the first film by going bigger with the action and villains, it still provides enough emotion and humor to make for a relatively enjoyable, yet generic superhero movie
11. Black Adam-It’s certainly derivative of plenty of other comic book projects over the last fifteen years, but it delivers enough superficial entertainment for me to have a good enough time with this film
10. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom-Even though this is still a piece of DCEU leftovers, I did enjoy this movie for its expansion on the lore of the first film, its variety of action, and especially the interactions between Momoa and Wilson
9. Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn-I’m well aware that this movie doesn’t work for a lot of DC fans, but because of its style, characters, storytelling, and action sequences, this movie works pretty well for me
8. Blue Beetle-For me, this one was actually a pleasant surprise because of the focus on Jaime’s family, its embracing of latino culture, and that it’s a standalone story that wasn’t concerned with tying into a bunch of DC plot points and characters, making for a solid, entertaining film
7. Aquaman-By no means is this movie thought provoking or overly deep, but it definitely entertains me with its globe trotting adventure, sillier humor, action sequences, and Shakespearean storylines
6. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition)-While I do acknowledge that this is a flawed film, I quite enjoy the Ultimate Edition for its ambitious themes, storytelling, and action, as well as having the introduction of Affleck’s Batman and the continuation of Cavill’s Superman
5. Shazam!-A funny, heartfelt addition to the franchise that’s able to be smaller scale because of Billy’s emotional journey, even if the villain doesn’t fully work and the tone is inconsistent
4. Wonder Woman-Even though this movie does fizzle out at the climax, it’s still a rock solid comic book film that has a lot to say about hope and mercy in a broken world, all with well done action and enjoyable fish out of water humor
3. The Suicide Squad-A great DC film that harnesses all of James Gunn’s strengths in his humor, crafting of great team dynamic, hyperviolence, and massive heart at the center of all of it, making for a movie I love every time I watch it
2. Man of Steel-A fantastic 21st century version of the Superman character that has great aesthetics and action from Snyder, a great villain in General Zod, and powerful themes of self discovery to pull it all together, which makes for one of my all time favorite comic book films
1. Zack Snyder’s Justice League-An amazing comic book film that has great character arcs, solid Snyder action, complex, but incredibly satisfying storytelling, a massive scale, and fantastic world building, which makes for a superhero epic that’s absolutely deserving of the Justice League title
You know what's another good thing about number 3 we got a kick ass tv show with a kick ass opening.
@@nickdorenkamp959DO YOU REALLY DO YOU REALLY WANNA TASTE IT
How does Shazam have an inconsistent tone?
just my list!
I'm not trying to downplay your opinion, but having Josstice Leage at 16 and ZSJL at 1 doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Cody you are the fucking man thanks for always feeding your fans
R.I.P DCEU, you truly deserved better, here's my ranking

Brother, i just want to say how much i enjoy your unbiased view on movies. I also enjoy how you never give to much away if its a movie i haven't seen. You videos are so much better than the trailers. Keep up the good work!!!
Agree.
Cody speaks my mind and how i feel about the DCEU esp Batman stuff
3:57 The DCEU is like if the MCU had jumped right to Avengers 1 after Iron Man 1.
Cody I’m so glad you did this ranking. I’ve always had a weird relationship with Batman V Superman because although it’s still not on my Mount Rushmore of favorite DCEU movies, it’s oddly the DCEU film that I have the most nostalgia for because I was so excited to see it in the theaters because this was the first DCEU film to come out since they announced that the DCEU was going to exist so I’ve always looked at it more fondly in recent years. My personal ranking of the DCEU films is this:
1. Wonder Woman
2. The Suicide Squad
3. Zack Snyder’s Justice League
4. Man of Steel
5. Batman V Superman Dawn of Justice
6. Peacemaker
7. Blue Beetle
8. The Flash
9. Birds of Prey
10. Black Adam
11. Aquaman
12. Shazam!
13. Suicide Squad
14. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
15. Shazam: Fury of the Gods
16. Wonder Woman 1984
Agree with all of your points. The Flash was an excellent movie, and it should have been the last movie to setup the reboot. I concur with your rankings as well. Thanks for sharing!
"The Flush"
The 🐐 of ranking videos
It's funny that you mentioned that idea for The Flash being the canonical ending to the DCEU leading to a new cinematic universe, because DC literally did exactly that in the comics when they rebooted the universe in 2011 with The New 52.
I was thinking the same thing. Honestly WB should’ve just did that, because with The Flash I can see how you can at least use the DCEU as sort of a pathway to set up the DCU. I’m guessing the reason they didn’t do that is A. They didn’t think of that, and B. If they did think of that there was probably something about Aquaman 2 where they needed the extra months either for reshoots or the VFX.
I like:
Michael Shannon's Zod
Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman
Pierce Brosnan's Doctor Fate
Dwayne Johnson/The Rock's Black Adam
Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn
John Cena as Peacemaker
Patrick Wilson's Ocean Master
“Make people’s ass itch” best line ever🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Cody for another thoughtful and honest video!
Here’s how I’d rank the DCEU films:
1. ‘The Suicide Squad’
2. ‘Wonder Woman’
3. ‘Shazam!’
4. ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League’
5. ‘Blue Beetle’
6. ‘Man of Steel’
7. ‘Birds of Prey’
8. ‘Aquaman’
9. ‘The Flash’
10. ‘Shazam! Fury of the Gods’
11. ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’
12. ‘Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice’
13. ‘Black Adam’
14. ‘Wonder Woman 1984’
15. ‘Suicide Squad’
16. ‘Justice League’
I hope James Gunn’s new DCU is a creative and financial success.
Man of Steel also ranks as my 8th favorite movie of all time.
DCEU actually put out some good movies, I enjoyed alot of them. They just couldn’t figure out how to put a cohesive universe together. Its a shame it went out this sad.
I agree. At least in my opinion, it always felt that Zack Snyder’s films as well as the first Wonder Woman film were in one cinematic universe and everything else was in a separate one.
yeah Snyder has a decent little universe with the few films he directed. Its too bad we didnt get a Justice league 2 or Man of Steel 2. Oh well onto the DCU now.@@cooperwolfe5478
Great video as always! I am assuming that your ranking of BvS was for the UC. I'd be curious where the TC would rank among the bottom tier for you.
The premise of BVS was good. An existing, established Batman reacting to Superman’s arrival and there being conflict is a good premise, the problem is that it was way too bloated with everything else. If it was simplified with just that story, would have been so much better.
Nah, the whole idea of make bvs the second dceu movie was stupid and rushed. Bvs is suppose the be the end on the batman superman dynamic, years of rivalry accumulated into it. Instead, we got a movie about 2 people who aren't even sure if they need to take down each other. Bvs is the epitome of WB rushing the dceu
When talking about BvS you made a reference to The Dark Knight Rises. I think you meant to say The Dark Knight Returns. 😮 Nice ranking 👍
Yeah I did
The flash actors performance, idk he was different but he seems like he has something going on behind the scenes
I loved the Snyderverse! The General Public's rejection of it, be damned. Keep up the great work Cody!
For me The Suicide Squad is genuinely one of my favourite comic book films of all time, I love that film. I thoroughly enjoy Shazam and Man of Steel I like as an alternate spin on Superman, and there's some great casting in some of the other projects, that's about it as far as positives go for me when it comes to the DCEU. The direction and handling of characters in Batman V Superman really didn't click with me at all, and it was mostly downhill from there for me with a lot of the projects that followed. There's a couple I haven't seen and I don't feel much desire to see them, but I'm remaining optimistic about the future for DC.
I love Aquarman
Words can’t describe the DCEU as a whole. You got Man of Steel and then you got Batman V Superman. You got jostice league and justice league. You got suicide squad and you got suicide squad. You got Wonder Woman and then you have Wonder Woman 1984. You get a good movie and then you get a abomination of epic proportions. Most bizzare and disjointed connected universe in history. Literally a example of fir future on how to not make a universe
Man of Steel was the only time I thought they were able to get the exciting feel like MCU did with Iron Man 1, It was really good!
One of the best CBM of all time imo.
Great DCEU ranking and fan of your channel. These are my favorite DCEU films that I loved.
Wonder Woman
Zack Snyder's Justice League
Aquaman
Shazam
Harley Quinn Birds of Prey
The Suicide Squad
Blue Beetle
Black Adam was better than what I thought it would be
I enjoyed most of the DCEU but I do feel the 3 Snyder movies work best as there own trilogy that stands alone. The rest of the DCEU I enjoy the movies for the most part despite some being better then others but the DCEU biggest issue to me was lack of direction the franchise never felt like it had a cohesive vision.
1. Man Of Steel
2. Zack Snyder's Justice League
3. Wonder Woman
4. The Suicide Squad
5. Aquaman
6. Shazam
7. The Flash
8. Birds Of Prey
9. Blue Beetle
10. Black Adam
11. Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom
12. Shazam: Fury Of The Gods
13. Suicide Squad
14. Wonder Woman 1984
15. BvS: Dawn Of Justice
16. Josstice League
That’s a great ranking. Honestly your top 4 films are the same as mine but in a different order.
Snyder Cut, Man of Steel and Wonder Woman were my three favorites. Batman V. Superman, the R rated cut, vastly improved it and the Snyder Cut validated it. I see it with different eyes now.
Okay, for those who did enjoy the Flash and the DCEU, who could see the Flash being the real conclusion to the DCEU, instead of Aquaman 2? Personally, if I marathoned the DCEU, including Batman 89 and Batman Returns, I can see The Flash as the finale to this series of films. Anyone agree?
Yes! The Flash was actually supposed to be the final film, not Aquaman 2, but the films release dates got switched around. You can definitely say The Flash is the last DCEU film, because Aquaman 2 doesn't really contradict that. So despite Aquaman 2 being the last film, it doesn't mean it is the last film, in terms of story continuity.
@@peterlenham3180 so two more questions. Did you like the Flash and are you okay with that movie being the conclusion the Keaton Batman? I know there were alot more plans for that character, but all of it was scrapped.
@@Story2ScreenMovieReviewPodcast It was good, not great, but not bad. I would have liked Keaton to stay, but at least we saw him in The Flash.
Your list is on point with mine. I will say that Man of Steel is my favorite. I agree with you on liking Superman as a character after watching this film. It is the crown jewel of the DCEU.
Top 5
1. Wonder woman
2. Shazam
3. The Suicide Squad

7. Shazam!

14. Wonder Woman 1984
15. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

17. Justice League (2017)
That’s a great ranking. Honestly your top 4 films are the same as mine but in a different order.
@@cooperwolfe5478 Awesome!
That thumbnail. A proper farewell. 😢
My biggest let down has been the Wonder Woman movies. They need to do a present day movie. They just have not been interesting at all. They are near the bottom of the lists for me. Zack Snyder's Justice League and Flash were better than the Wonder Woman movies. This is a good list though.
Honestly I love the first Wonder Woman film so I can’t necessarily agree with you on that. But I’ll agree with you that WW84 was bad, and that IMO the second WW film should’ve been set in modern day.
You know it's weird. When these movies first started coming out. Man of Steel got such a horrid response, I didn't watch it. Same with Dawn of Justice. Then Wonder Woman came out and I wanted to go and see it because it was my favorite comic book character and the first time getting her own film; so I went despite the response of the previous films, went opening weekend, no reviews I watched at that point.
To this day, my favorite film, not of this universe alone, of all time. Just the blending of the mythology, the tone, the characters, the score; everything was perfect. Went to go see it three more times in theaters. So I thought I should give Man of Steel and Dawn of Justice a watch because maybe I was wrong to prejudge. Pick up the blu-rays and watch them in consecutive nights. Never understood people's hatred for them. Even then, liked both yet Dawn of Justice still edged out Man of Steel for me, but both were very good.
Jostice League comes out and was already defending it because the blowback just seemed like a reflex and overexaggeration. Didn't watch it after theaters for years because I heard the stories. Watched Aquaman and enjoyed it. But basically didn't really watch anything else in this universe as comic book films were getting long in the tooth anyway for me. Saw Wonder Woman 84 and I liked it, not as good as the first but liked it. Have not gone back to it and I'm sure there's things that break apart if I watch it again(it already kinda ruins the fact that she was inactive between WWI and Dawn of Justice), but just at that time, it was something that helped.
Snyder Cut comes out and love it. Hits me hard and just rewatched it last night after nearly three years. It would be nice to see this universe continue in that direction and what could have been, but overall very satisfied with his trilogy and if that and Wonder Woman(2017) were all we had from it; that alone makes this universe worth it as all are some of my favorite films.
So is it all worth it for the other 11 films just to have four amazing films. For some, probably not. But I'm grateful we have them as they are more meaningful to me than the entirety of the MCU and very few franchises come close. That's my two cents on the matter.
I see where you are coming from. I do think that when the DCEU was at its high points it produced great films, but it’s just its low points that have severely impacted its legacy.
I have found this journey to be so fascinating that I intend to write a very in-depth book on the history of the DCEU. not all of these films have been great, but I have loved quite a few of them, especially the stuff that Zack Snyder did. It really is a fascinating journey that deserves to be told from beginning to end, and I hope to get my book going soon, I just have to finish the mountains of research for it.
You are the best, good job on the very hard work that you bring with your videos.
Perfect ranking, great arguments and...I enjoyed this video!
Black Adam is so underrated
I also thought Man of Steel was amazing, it's definitely my favorite Superman movie. I think if people got the happy go lucky Superman movie they believe they want they would regret it. It's like how some people want a more upbeat version of Batman and I'm just like, yeah we got those movies with the Joel Schumacher Batman movies and they sucked.
What you said about Man of steel is exactly how I felt about superman , I was always a Batman guy & even though I liked the Reeves Superman I was never a fan of the character until I saw Man of steel 👊
That’s a solid list. You always do amazing lists and reviews and don’t buckle under the pressure and say what u want and that’s always what I love about ur reviews. I don’t agree with all of the order, but it’s not my list and I think it’s really good. I would have bluebettle higher as it was really surprising and all round solid film. But I love the story and emotion that flash had but they had to much cgi and it was really bad so it kept pulling me out and what’s worse is that most could have been done in practical but they just cgi everything and it looks atrocious but I think it would only be a few down the list from where it is. Waiting for ur chappie review and wanted to know ur thoughts on tiger 2 and 3 (pan Indian films). Love ur reviews and I will always watch them. Keep up the good work
Man of Steel is my fave. It sucks they’re not continuing with Cavill. He’s a great Superman and really loved the character.
If it helps you like the character/Batman v Superman more... Jesse Eisenberg Plays Lex Luthor's Son. The Father/traditional Luthor could have been introduced down the road. With the son being a new character I think it plays really well with the DCEU themes of Parent/Child destiney, loss, grief, anger, etc.
@Cody fun watch, tho I am a Marvel fan 55 to 60% I love dc and they have done best in their animated stuff. I hope the new universe is done well as it is not looking good at Marvel atm. Some interesting takes from you but that is my favorite parts of the list to see what likes are similar and the different takes we all have. Hope you and your family had a lovely Christmas
Hey Cody! Had a lot of fun watching this, I did have a question for you though. You seemed to really enjoy the first aqua man movie which i did too. You also said the movie that ranked a step higher Batman v super man had a lot of flaws even with the best version to it. So I’m curious why you had it a step above aqua man. Is it just as simple as saying because it’s Batman and Superman in a movie? Would love to hear your thoughts on that!
I have the same top 3! Man of Steel and Wonder Woman are for sure my favorite 😊
Those two are on my Mount Rushmore of DCEU films alongside The Suicide Squad and Zack Snyder’s Justice League
Wonder Woman absolutely deserved that ranking. And the sequel deserved its ranking. 😂 The Josstice League was when I took a full step back from the DCEU. Like you said, it made no sense to have the director of the first two Avengers to direct JL. Completely different vibes.
I agree with you on the Wonder Woman films. Personally I love the first Wonder Woman film but I hate WW84. Honestly they should’ve had the 2nd Wonder Woman take place in modern day.
My favorite is The Suicide Squad by James Gunn.
1. The Suicide Squad
2. Zack Snyders Justice League
3. Aquaman
4. Wonder Woman
5. Blue Beetle
6. The Flash
7. Shazam
8. Man of Steel
9. BVS DOJ Ultimate Edition
10. Birds of Prey
11. Aquaman and the Lost kingdom
12. Wonder Woman 1984
13. Black Adam
14. Shazam Fury of the Gods
15. Suicide Squad
16. Josstice League
RIP DCEU. In James Gunn we trust, he will crush it!
My final ranking:
1. Zack Snyder’s Justice League
2. Wonder Woman
3. The Suicide Squad
4. Man of Steel
5. Aquaman
6. Blue Beetle
7. Shazam
8. Shazam: Fury of the Gods

11. Black Adam
12. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
13. The Flash
14. Wonder Woman 1984
15. Josstice League
16. Suicide Squad
That’s a great ranking. Your top 4 films are the same as mine but in a different order.
I absolutely loved Blue Beetle
Me too
The main in only reason I didn’t really like the flash is Ezra characterization. It just feels nothing like any version of flash. His mannerisms, THE WAY HE RUNS, his tone of voice. Not saying he is a bad actor but he just does not feel like a flash. It’s like casting will smith to play Batman
I absolutely loved Shazam Fury of the gods
I saw you did a video on what storyline the next saw movie should be if you wrote it. Id actually would love to see a video of what storyline you would take with superman legacy movie coming out and pretty much how you would build the new dc universe with that as the starting point. Thanks for the content.
I absolutely LOVE Man of Steel, but it is so crazy that the first movie in the DCEU ended up being the pinnacle of the entire run. RIP
22:25 ok that was funny 😂
I remember 2013 like it was yesterday. Man of Steel came out around the time my cousin Dominic got married.
Awesome ranking! This is surreal.
Thank you so much for putting Man of Steel first! One of my favorite films and so vastly underrated.
For me, this is my DCEU ranking. I think my bottom five and top five are easy to pick for me. It’s the middle six that was the hardest to rank. Honestly, my top five can go either way.
16) Justice League (2017)
15) Suicide Squad (2016)
14) Wonder Woman 1984
13) Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
12) Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
11) Shazam: Fury of the Gods
10) Black Adam
9) Man of Steel
8) Zack Snyder’s Justice League
7) The Flash
6) Blue Beetle
5) Aquaman (2018)
4) The Suicide Squad (2021)
3) Wonder Woman
2) Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of one Harley Quinn)
1) Shazam
Loving the Man of Steel praise
Was waitin for someone to do this 🍿
I liked the flash a lot too. Specially that Keaton Batman vs Kryponian scene at the end.
Def appreciate your opinion.. prob cuz I also ranked my number 1’s the same w Man of Steel, Nightmare Elm St 3, evil dead 2013 & Friday 13th remake as best in franchises .. didn’t agree w Winter Solder for best MCU (mine was Infinity War) but can’t argue w it much either as it was a great movie.
Off topic but here’s my opinion, I’m not saying everyone should like Superman but I believe that everybody should respect him because if it weren’t for Superman then we wouldn’t have superheroes in general…
I want more Matt Reeves 😫
The new Batman is coming in 2025. Yes, I'm looking forward to it, too. 😁
2025 is when the new film will come.
You are not alone. Reeves is one of the best directors working today.
James Gunn didn't really help by announcing that they are basically restarting the universe while there were films still to come out, he could have waited not as if the films are coming out soon
I always liked your opinions on movies because of your honesty. the thing I disagree about(the only thing) I personally feel that after nolan wrote man of steel & decided not to direct wb should’ve got rid of nolan team for the writing of bvs. I love zack movies (even sucker punch) but zack isn’t a strong writer (yet) or improviser. The more I watch bvs I think about how nolan would’ve improvised its weaknesses (the same way he did with the dark knight trilogy fight scenes) over how zack handled the weaknesses of the story( it was written with nolan in mind) also you’re 100% right besides the bad cgi the flash is a good movie. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it great video cody & keep reviewing from the heart
I enjoyed the fact that most DCEU films had their own personality. Good or bad, they weren’t cookie cutter films made by committee.
Are they still gonna do a second season of The Peacemaker?
Yes 🙌
Yes, but like a lot of shows it will come out later than expected because of last years strike
For me is:
1) Man of Steel
2) ZS Justice League
3) The Flash
4) Blue Beetle
5) Aquaman
6) Wonde Woman
7) Shazam
The rest are Ok to bad for me even The Suicide Squad had a lot of humor I hated but the story is amazing.
The crazy thing about this is all Warner brothers had to do was verbatim recreate the DCA U in live action and it would have been more successful
If WB would’ve just taken their time on building their universe and letting Directors do their own stuff…They would be at their peak right now.!
We should’ve had 2 Man of Steel movies, Wonder Woman, Batman, Flash and Aquaman prior to the first JL. Then keep building underground/street level Suicide Squad movies.
I truly believe this would have shifted the MCU as they would’ve had competition to actually make their movies good. Not just rinse and repeat since 2019.
My ranking from my favorite to my least favorite is
1. Peacemaker Season 1 4.5/5
2. The Suicide Squad 4.5/5
3. Man of Steel 4/5
4. Zack Snyder's Justice League 4/5
5. The Flash 3.5/5
6. Shazam! 3.5/5
7. Wonder Woman 3.5/5
8. Aquaman 3.5/5
9. Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) 3.5/5
10. Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice 3/5
11. Blue Beetle 3/5
12. Shazam! Fury of the Gods 3/5
13. Suicide Squad (2016) 2.5/5
14. Justice League (2017) 2.5/5
15. Black Adam 2.5/5
16. Wonder Woman 1984 2/5
I still have to watch Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
great rankings man and honestly for me its actually sad to see dceu ends this way but i will admit it was a fascinating universe to watch from the very beginning at least in my opinion as for my list here's
16. justice league 2017 which a complete trainwreck and complete garbage fire of a movie that really destroyed zack snyder vision of his movie which is sad because this is the Justice league DC's biggest team how do you screw that up well apparently badly with Josh Weadon ruining everything at least in my opinion.
15. Suicide Squad 2016 which is just horrible and bad at least in my opinion
14. Wonder woman 1984 a terrible sequel that was just bad.
13. The flash which is just a horrible movie that ruined everything with the flash character and made no sense whatsoever at least in my opinion.
12. Black adam a fun JSA movie and and very interesting fun movie at best at least in my opinion.
11. Aquaman and the lost kingdom which is just bad sequel and very disappointing in my opinion.
10. Shazam! fury of the gods which I thought was a fun movie in my opinion and super underrated and was fun.
9 Birds of prey which is just a bad move and ruined cassandra cain batgirl
8. Shazam! which is a very fun movie at least in my opinion.
7. Aquaman 2018 which i thought was a fun movie and super amazing in my opinion.
6. Batman v Superman the ultimate cut which i think while not a perfect movie far from it as a sequel to man of steel it was a interesting sequel say to least and looking back at it now that we know where it was connecting to zack snyder justice league it all makes sense at least in my opinion.
5. Blue beetle which i thought was freaking fantastic movie and super underrated in my opinion.
4.Wonder woman which i thought was a great movie and tons of fun and super fantastic origin for wonder woman.
3. Man of steel which I thought was a badass origin for superman and seeing Henry cavill as superman was amazing in my opinion.
2. The Suicide Squad which i thought was a major improvement over the first movie and did the DC universe justice and the Suicide Squad amazing in my opinion.
1. Zack Snyder Justice league which i thought was amazing and one of the best movies I saw this decade and proves WB was wrong and Zack snyder Understood these characters and seeing The flash going back in time to save the entire universe was freaking fantastic and seeing the rest of the league fighting towards darkseid was freaking amazing in my opinion.
That’s a great ranking. Honestly your top 4 films are the same as mine but in a different order.
@@cooperwolfe5478 awesome man
Can’t really argue with this ranking.
When the flash came up on the ranking I genuinely forgot it came out
I also like the flash - the writing is really good - but my fav is BVS uts just that cambric explosion of the DC world
Angry Joe would be proud of you Cody Leach. Great DCEU ranking btw👍
If you were forced to. Where would you rank Peacemaker. (If you have seen it).
I heard nothing but trash-comments about the Flash - didn't bother watching it.
But after your review, I gave it a chance - you were 100% right!
Thank you!
Smallville take on Clark Kent human side story is phenomenal.
19:47 i lost it XDDD
Very Solid order, I Will say I wanna love Man Of Steel HOWEVER, For someone that lost both his parents at a very Early Age! I just can not get right with how you would just listen and stand there and watch what is the equivalent of your Real Father as he Dies! NO way if I was in that spot would I just stand there and lose a Loved one! That’s the part that kills that movie (For Me) that is!
That's the perfect thumbnail
If peacemaker was on the list where would you estimate it’s place on the list
Bro definitely get with Durban for a State of the DCEU. I miss those videos
We had so much fun with The Flash and Blue Beetle and so did everyone in the theatre. Sure the cgi wasn’t great, but that did t really bother me. I don’t understand the hate for the Flash outside of the dislike of the lead actor
Affleck was the best batman for me. Most comic book accurate, best live action suit, most accurate build, looked the part of Bruce Wayne the most. I'm very disappointed he didn't get a solo film.
48:57 agreed😂 I was like"then explain it"
Man, it feels like I'm at a funeral watching this.
Great ranking. Your top 5 is pretty decent. Cant really argue against it. Especially considering there some of the only DC films i like. 😅
Everything you said about Man of Steel i 100% agree.
Watching your reviews makes my day Cody love your ranking Man Of Steel is the greatest comic book film ever of the DCEU keep up the great work my man 👍🏽
I love batman vs superman
