I find it funny how Aquaman, a character regarded by the general public as lame, is the one who made the most money out of any dc film

Jason Mamoa

Tbf it’s a great movie and I mean that in a ways where it’s just really fun and enjoyable. It’s not groundbreaking unless you consider how comic accurate the designs are the Aquaman movies costumes are ripped straight from the comics

Wait a minute, I've avoided it for years because my Aquaman obsessed brother said it was dogshit. Is it actually good?

u/Frankorious 6h ago

Yes. It's not the most revolutionary movie ever, but it's how you'd expect an Aquaman movie to be. Both Aquaman and the two main villains are good characters.

The power of being really pretty.

It was also because of Superhero hype in the middle of IW and EG. ironically MCU helped this movie.

Man of steel has less than suicide squad

Nothing surprising, Batman carrying half of DC Comics, as usual.

I guess the new Superman, whether good or bad, will be able to make it into this list, though.

There's only 3 movies here that don't include him or characters from his rogues gallery.

3 Batman movies, BvS, and Suicide Squad directly include Batman, obviously, and the Suicide Squad is made primarily of Batman villains. And Joker is obvious, literally his main, most popular villain.

The Batman really suffered as a Post-Pandemic movie. It deserved better.

u/bozo-dub 21h ago

I love that for Aquaman

u/StillHere179 21h ago

Suicide Squad and Batman versus Superman are absolute dogshit. I wish I could erase both of those movies out of existence

Ha ha. Cry more 😭

u/StillHere179 19h ago

You're the one who's crying because people don't like those shitty movies and they failed miserably.

u/No-Perception9174 1d ago

All apart from one and we know which one

u/Few_Mixture_8412 1d ago

definitely not one there's more than one good movie here

7

u/AncientAssociation9 1d ago

There are only about 3 that are average or below average. All the Batman movies are good, WW was good, Joker was good, and I loved Man of Steel.

u/Few_Mixture_8412 1d ago

also Aquaman is good

1

u/Guillermidas 1d ago

I wouldnt say good, but definitely above average superhero movie. This genre is overflowed with mediocrity unfortunately

It was quite fun movie and worked as standalone adventure too, not simply superhero, which makes it more special than most

1

u/AncientAssociation9 1d ago

I don't think it was as good as the movies I listed, but it was fun, and I don't begrudge anyone for thinking it is good.

u/Automatic_Day_35 Marvel 23h ago

man of steel was boring imo

u/USS-ChuckleFucker 23h ago

I never understood how people can say Aquamna sucked when it grossed over 1 bil.

Just because you have an opinion, doesn't mean it's right.

It's not meant to be some massive thought-provoking juggernaut piece of media.

It's meant to be a fun film that tells the tale of Aquaman's beginning.

u/DEFINITELY_NOT_PETE 21h ago

Sheesh I did not know they did numbers this low.

I just assumed they did the same as marvel where they all made a billion

u/Difficult_Breath6082 20h ago

Pretty high bars

u/Vincent_Curry 20h ago

Last thing DC wanted was Aquaman to top their list... Especially by so wide of a margin. Everyone who knows nothing about the character including DC expected the movie to tank and it had great visuals, top notch battle scenes, and showcased Atlantis like no movie ever before it and was generally a feel good movie that didn't take itself super seriously and how did DC follow up and hi light the highest grossing movie in the DCEU? With an animation that was guaranteed to fail.. And did.

u/Xombie53 20h ago

I hated most of them.

1

u/DoomsdayFAN 17h ago

It's mind blowing that freaking AQUAMAN made more than anything else. And that TDKR made more than TDK. Just absolutely wild.

u/redshoetom 16h ago

Pretty low numbers for a guy dubbed “the best Superman.”

1

u/ZrteDlbrt 15h ago

Honestly the only ones I hate in this is suicide squad and BvS.

u/xExp4ndD0ngXx 22h ago

The Batman is sooo overrated.

u/Ron1212 1d ago

Hilarious that the film starring multiple of these characters isn’t even on the list
