Other DCEU movies?
Added 2025-02-13 17:00:05 +0000 UTCI told you all that I would at least watch the DCEU up to Justice League, but I know there are a couple of other DCEU movies that have been recommended to me a lot! I'm using this poll to see what other DCEU movies you might want to see a reaction to. If DC movies aren't your thing, that's okay! I have plenty of other types of movies coming your way.

BIRDS OF PREY and THE SUICIDE SQUAD are in my opinion the two best, funnest, most satisfying and entertaining DC movies of the modern age(aside from The LEGO Batman Movie and The Dark Knight, which are really their own thing). They're both extremely funny and are filled with excellent performances. (Also, Birds Of Prey leads into The Suicide Squad, so watching it first is advisable if you like Margot Robbie's story of Harley Quinn.)

2025-02-18 07:41:08 +0000 UTCAnd 12 days later, still no other title has gotten more than 43 votes. I'm not sure that many titles have ever done that poorly in one of her polls. 😐

2025-02-17 18:58:52 +0000 UTCA lot of these films are underwhelming. I’d personally recommend the first Shazam and the first Aquaman.

2025-02-16 18:22:25 +0000 UTCI just double checked Addie's Letterboxd and it looks like she just watched Aquaman. So my guess is she's watching that, Shazam!, and The Suicide Squad in release order since those three are by far the clear winners on the poll. 🙂

2025-02-15 08:31:52 +0000 UTCHey, Addie! I recommend watching the remainder of the DCEU catalog as it is not as big an investment as the MCU! The movies did poorly largely because Snyder's plans were scrapped by the studio and an executive decision to wipe the slate clean for James Gunn rendered the Snyderverse a dead reality with no future. The films are actually quite good and highly entertaining with a few exceptions. Next is: -- Aquaman (incredible) -- Shazam (a total blast) -- Birds of Prey (the weakest but a guilty pleasure delight about a group of kick-ass ladies including Robbie's Harley) -- Black Adam (excellent with lots of future potential) -- Shazam: Fury of the Gods (weaker than the first but still entertaining) -- The Flash (excellent with Michael Keaton as Batman!) -- Blue Beetle (surprisingly good) -- Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (a respectable final bow) You could skip "Wonder Woman 1984". It is abysmal. "The Suicide Squad" has many die-hard fans but I think it's inferior to Ayers' Squad. If you fancy James Gunn's sensibility, give it a shot but know that it exists in its own universe belonging neither to Gunn's DCEU or Snyder's. "Superman Returns" from 2006 is also definitely worth a look. It is a direct sequel to "Superman II" with Christopher Reeve. It is NOT a part of the DCEU. It pretends that "Superman III" and "Superman IV" never occurred. Brandon Routh is Supes, Kate Bosworth is Lois, Kevin Spacey is Lex, Frank Langella is Perry White and James Marsden is in it!

2025-02-14 11:10:32 +0000 UTCThe Suicide Squad is great. It’s a proper movie. You’ve definitely already watched worse DC movies than Birds of Prey. I’d put Shazam at a similar level to Wonder Woman. The rest of these are for completists.
Jacob King
2025-02-14 03:42:43 +0000 UTCThose are Vertigo/Wildstorm books not Dark Horse. Dark Horse is a completely seperate company that does Hellboy (among others). Another great Vertigo book/movie is The Road to Perdition. It definitely needs to be discovered by the reactor community. Tom Hanks, a gangster? Addie definitely should do Hellboy 1&2.
Jacob King
2025-02-14 03:37:22 +0000 UTCI don’t know if continuity is that big a deal but Birds of Prey is easily the second best movie on this list.
Jacob King
2025-02-14 03:29:45 +0000 UTCDefinitely watch The Suicide Squad. It's better than the first one, and it's the best one out of this list by far.
justchrishere
2025-02-14 03:05:18 +0000 UTCIt'll be fine, I can barely remember what happened in Birds of Prey honestly, it's definitely not a requirement to watch it first.
Doug
2025-02-14 02:31:48 +0000 UTCFYI Addie's already watched Constantine on the channel. (I'm down for rewatching RED and History of Violence at some point though. 👍)
Doug
2025-02-14 02:30:18 +0000 UTC"The Suicide Squad" (2021) takes place after the events of "Birds of Prey" (2020). Harley's change of circumstances may be confusing without knowing what happened.
JAKH
2025-02-14 00:16:22 +0000 UTCDC but not DCEU: "R.E.D." (2010) "A History of Violence" (2005) "Constantine" (2005)
JAKH
2025-02-14 00:11:13 +0000 UTCSadly, in my opinion these are all bad and do not deserve a vote, with the possible exception of Aquaman. The BETTER DC movies are the animated ones, because of their writing quality. An example would be Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths.
Augustus87
2025-02-13 22:43:57 +0000 UTCBirds of Prey deserves a reaction, but it will lose any poll. Polling doesn't guarantee a good result.
Jay Perry
2025-02-13 22:19:27 +0000 UTCNah. None of these. You should watch Supergirl: The Addie Counts Story (1984)
Julian San
2025-02-13 21:39:47 +0000 UTCSuicide Squad and Shazam are the only ones worth a watch
phillip giroux
2025-02-13 21:10:09 +0000 UTCThe Suicide Squad is the only movie on here...Birds of Prey comes close...
Steve Mercier
2025-02-13 21:04:54 +0000 UTCI hate them all, can’t even pick one for the vote 😂

2025-02-13 20:36:19 +0000 UTCI didn't spoil anything, I just said the names of shows.
Doug
2025-02-13 20:27:17 +0000 UTCSuperman Returns. I did like Aquaman though. Most of these are meh.
Insufferable Smartypants
2025-02-13 19:53:45 +0000 UTCI get it. I understand the need to protect from spoilers. I am not spoiling content. I'm not sure how recommending movie titles/show titles remotely falls into that category. That is what these polls are for.
Steve Adams
2025-02-13 19:47:19 +0000 UTCI picked Shazam it is really funny. I also like Surcide Squard because is better the first one with James Gunn.
Michael Tucker
2025-02-13 19:47:00 +0000 UTCI’ll give it a shot since it’s James Gunn we’re talking about. I’m not a fan of the new Superman logo, but after seeing James’ work with the Guardians of the Galaxy I wanna believe he knows what he’s doing.
Aldo Gonzales
2025-02-13 19:45:04 +0000 UTCThis is a difficult poll because all these are meh films. If this is wats left for u to watch, i'd stop after the poll winner . Pennyworth, which focuses on a young Alfred, and The Penguin are worth ur time. Both are series. I'm a big Superman fan , but not looking forward to the new Superman.
Beth Brown
2025-02-13 19:35:35 +0000 UTCI would say continue the DCU in chronological order.
Patrick Anderson
2025-02-13 19:23:32 +0000 UTCObviously I’m voting for James Gunn’s Suicide Squad, but I’ll also nominate Aquaman, Shazam, and most importantly Blue Beetle.
Aldo Gonzales
2025-02-13 19:06:57 +0000 UTCYou’re semi-spoiling, Doug. The shows are a great idea, but there are two you shouldn’t mention yet.

2025-02-13 19:06:02 +0000 UTCYou’re semi-spoiling, Steve. The shows are a great idea, but don’t bring them up yet.

Rey
2025-02-13 18:17:28 +0000 UTCAquaman was the best of this bunch by far. It made over a billion after all...
Wayne Tuttle
2025-02-13 18:10:01 +0000 UTCHope we do get some other types. Thank you in advanced 😘
PHILLIP CORNISH
2025-02-13 18:07:29 +0000 UTCFrankly, I feel if someone is coming to a movie franchise well after its theatrical releases, it's best to watch them in an order that best serves the overall story regardless of release order. I can't comment on this franchise, but I know many people think a lot of these later entries suck in the first place. 🤷♂️
Byrd N. Hand
2025-02-13 18:04:26 +0000 UTCThe Suicide Squad for sure. If you are interested in other James Gunn projects leading up to the new Superman movie, consider checking out Peacemaker season 1 as well as Creature Commandos season 1.
Steve Adams
2025-02-13 18:02:13 +0000 UTCThe Suicide Squad and then move on to watch good movies. ;-)
HeyHeyJK
2025-02-13 17:45:53 +0000 UTCI went with The Suicide Squad because James Gunn, the director, is now in charge of the DCU and his Superman movie is coming out this year.
MattTheHazard
2025-02-13 17:44:44 +0000 UTCJust watch them all in release order and experience them all like we did.
Jesse Shadows
2025-02-13 17:44:44 +0000 UTCAquaman, The Suicide Squad, and Shazam are the only ones worth watching. But, if you didn’t have a reaction channel, I would advise not even wasting time on those.
Julian Pamplin
2025-02-13 17:27:52 +0000 UTCI'm excited for all of the options, but I have to vote for The Flash and The Suicide Squad!!
David Lucas
2025-02-13 17:25:19 +0000 UTCAgreed, "Sin City" is head and shoulders above any of these movies.
Byrd N. Hand
2025-02-13 17:25:12 +0000 UTCI think they're hoping everyone just forgets the first one.
Tom W.
2025-02-13 17:17:03 +0000 UTCSeriously, though, they couldn't think of another name to better differentiate it from the 2016 movie? 🤷♂️
Byrd N. Hand
2025-02-13 17:15:59 +0000 UTCThe Suicide Squad is my top pick on this for sure! 😄 Second pick is Shazam! which is also fun. Third would be Birds of Prey, also decent, although I like the other two a bit better. And if you look at TV shows down the line, there are some excellent DC shows on Max worth watching (specifically Peacemaker, Creature Commandos, Harley Quinn, Watchmen, The Penguin). Honestly, DC really nailed some of the TV shows on Max, they're great! 👍
Doug
2025-02-13 17:15:28 +0000 UTCI vote we move on from the DCEU. But if you are itching for another comic book movie, I'd love to see Sin City (2005).
Luis Fernandez
2025-02-13 17:15:16 +0000 UTCAquaman and The Suicide Squad are probably the only ones worth watching.
Joe Mallard
2025-02-13 17:12:23 +0000 UTCI personally don't care about any of them, but I feel "Shazam!" has the best reputation of all of them. "Aquaman" and "THE Suicide Squad" might also get views. "Birds of Prey" and "The Flash" are iffy (the latter only because of the appearance of one particular character)... but the rest likely won't generate much interest.
Byrd N. Hand
2025-02-13 17:10:37 +0000 UTCThis isn't even going to be close. "The Suicide Squad" all the way.
Tom W.
2025-02-13 17:09:24 +0000 UTCThe Suicide Squad. Then, watch Peacemaker on MAX.
Brian Leonard
2025-02-13 17:04:36 +0000 UTCHappy Thursday, Addie! 😊 I ended up voting for "Blue Beetle"(love the lead actor) with "The Suicide Squad" as my second choice. Have a great day today! 😊
Randee Carreno
2025-02-13 17:03:44 +0000 UTCI think Birds of Prey is secretly the best DCEU movie. Its basically Harley Quinn movie and Ewan McGregor is great in it.
Marko T.
2025-02-13 17:03:32 +0000 UTCHappy Thursday, Addie. All are good choices but my vote goes for The Suicide Squad (2021).
