Ranking Theatrical Superman Films Based On First Impressions

 DISCLAIMER: I might come back and update this post as more theatrical Superman films are released.

Since I recently did a ranking for all theatrically-released Batman films, I figured it made sense now to do one for his polar opposite, Superman, who has also had quite a presence on the big screen for several decades now. And as per usual with me, this ranking is based strictly on first impressions. Furthermore, some of these entries only feature Sups in a cameo role, at most, but I decided to include them anyway…

With that all out of the way, let’s get going:

Loved it

1.Superman: The Movie (theatrical version)

2.Superman II (either version)

3.The Lego Movie

4.The Lego Batman Movie

5.Shazam!

6.The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part

I liked it but didn’t love it

7.Teen Titans Go! To the Movies

8.Justice League (either version)

9.The Flash

Wasn’t sure how to feel about it

10.Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice (either version)

11.Man of Steel

12.Superman Returns

Bad, but at least it’s funny

13.Superman III

14.Superman IV: The Quest for Peace

Didn’t watch it

15.Superman: The Movie - Score-Only Version

16.DC League of Super-Pets

17.Black Adam

18.Superman and the Mole Men

19.DC Heroes vs. Eagle Talon (seriously, wtf is this?!)

20.Supergirl

So there you have it. I’m optimistic for James Gunn’s Superman…

Peace!
