Top 10 Worst Superhero Movies

The Top Ten
1 Batman & Robin

This movie basically ruined Alicia Silverstone's career, which is a sad shame after she just had her breakthrough with Clueless.

You know what's interesting? We can blame both of the Schumacher movies on the box office failure of Batman Returns, if Batman Returns was a box office hit and people responded positively to it, the studio would never have kicked Tim Burton off the franchise and Schumacher would never have been brought on board, so yeah, the failure of Batman Returns is the main cause of this disaster

2 Catwoman

How to make a terrible superhero movie: Take a step forward by making a female-led superhero movie, then take eight steps back by having her do battle against MOISTURIZER. I mean, this movie doesn't even honor its source material. Catwoman's name isn't even Selina Kyle! I hope they someday make a good Catwoman movie that actually has to do with its source material.

This movie is just unbelievably terrible, I can't even explain it. All that you have to is watch it, it has to be seen to believe. Not only is it the worst superhero movie I have ever seen, but it is the 5th worst movie I have ever seen.

3 Fantastic Four (2015)

What a bad movie. It has enough problems to fill up a quarter of the earth. Firstly, it should be renamed 'What Happened before the Fantastic Four became the Fantastic Four' because that's what most of the film is about. Either make it longer or make the 'get ready the machine' part shorter. Oh and after they get hit by the meteors and gain their powers they become totally cool with it 1 scene later? Why? This film could have been at least decent judging by the trailers but it was wasted. Well at least they tried. But other than that this movie was baad.

4 Superman IV: The Quest for Peace

What a horrible movie, I loved the first 2 superman movies, but then the 3rd one came out and I said "please don't tell me you're going this route" and then this steaming pile of crap came out, it's so cheap that they use the same shot of superman flying for every flying scene, also, nuclear man? Really? What kind of dumbass villain is that?

Remember when you were watching your favorite Superman movie and you heard about this, watched it and was disgusted at the awful quality? Yeah, me too.

It's really bad if the first few seconds of the movie gave me nasty headaches. And it didn't stop until the end credits began rolling

5 Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice

One of the commenters, that more than likely voted for Batman v Superman as the worst, said "I heard it goes for something like 3 hours". This just shows how people bandwagon hate. I bet many people voted for a movie on this list even though they have never even seen it. I myself ALMOST voted for Fant4stic, even though I never saw it. This move has flaws but is not an awful movie.

Way too over hyped and tries too hard to be a good movie. At least most of the other movies high up in this list knew they were bad movies in the first place and don't try to hide that fact. Add in the fact that this was to be a starting point for the DCU, it created a complete disaster for subsequent films to try and fix.

6 Elektra

This movie is terrible it should be 1 but they have Fantastic Four which is a terrific movie up there. It is just stupid

It's not that bad, definitely better than fantastic four (2015).

Hey look! The spinoff nobody asked for!

7 Green Lantern
8 Hulk

I HATE THIS MOVIE! First off, the cgi, is HORRIBLE, hulk looks more confused than angry, 2nd off, why does hulk sound like someone smacking on their food and makng noises, 3rd, HULK BARELY DOES ANYTHING! Seriously all he does is either stand there or destroy stuff for no reason, 4th, what is up with the acting, 5th, why does hulk look like Shrek? 6th, the music is ANNOYING. 6th, barely has a villain, and OBVIOUSLY they know nothing about the hulk comics because if they did, then they would know that the obsorbng man is NOT Bruce's father, they would know it's Brian Banner, and they stated that hulk was created by Bruce's father? This movie is all types of DUMB!

9 Howard the Duck

It was the wrong time to make this movie, considering it relies heavily on special effect, now with the success of all their other movies, if done right, I think Marvel could make a good movie out of this character, or at least make him a side character, his design in GOTG was great. And even if he only said 3 lines they sounded like they were something iron man would say. But if they're gonna make a movie about him, make it about him fighting against his villain not just living a normal life in the human world, cause we don't wanna rehash this crappy movie again, seriously, the 80's was a crappy time for movies based on cartoons, ex. Masters of the universe, and for comic book movies, ex. This movie

10 Suicide Squad

Yep I knew I would find this movie in here. The "plot" (hahaa I called it a plot) was messy and totally forced, most of the characters were underdeveloped, the villain was... wait ... there was a villain in this? I literally forgot about that character (the villain is forgettable for those who didn't got it) and not to mention that the music is awful. The only good things about this waste of a movie are Margot Robbie and Will Smith. They are the highlights of the film and they are probably the most developed characters in the whole movie (maybe El Diablo too). Now I know what you're thinking: "What about Jared Leto's joker? ". Well honestly... I actually appreciate that Jared Leto tried to bring something to this character in THIS movie. And I don't think he's that bad at all. I just wish we could've gotten more out of him. He is clearly not the best joker (played by Mark Hamill) but he is ok.

The Contenders
11 Daredevil

I personally don't hate this movie at all, but can understand why some do. The clichéd origin story, the corniness of some parts (especially some of the 'romantic' dialogue) & how underwritten it all feels can turn some people off. That being said, it is at least entertaining enough to make up for its flaws (something films like Catwoman can't boast) while the good parts (very stylish, good action scenes, fine acting) makes this worth a watch.

I'm tired of people hating this movie it's so great I can watch it for hours its just so amazing

12 Steel

This is an example of DC having a character who's a major ripoff of a marvel character, seriously this guy ripped off iron man in every way, and he even rips off robocop, it's so weird how the majority of the worst comic book movies ever are DC movies. Catwoman, Batman and Robin, Superman returns, Batman forever, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, Batman, Batman Begins, Batman Returns, and Steel, Marvel had a few bad ones but there were only 4 of them. Elektra, Daredevil, Howard the Duck and Ghost Rider Spirit Of Vengeance. That's all. And I'm so sick of the way they make black people talk, newflash movie studios, just because someone is black doesn't mean they talk like rappers, plus it takes like 30 minutes before he becomes the superhero, also this is the most pathetic superhero on the face of the earth, he can't run after a car, he gets beat up multiple times in the movie, he has a hard time climbing a ladder, he has no idea how to use his weapons and he doesn't know how to fight. Worst superhero ever

13 Captain America (1990)

I didn't know that the reboot was a reboot this movie was so bad (yet it made a reference).

Let's just forget this film exists, okay?

Batman and robin was bad, but it was bad in a fun way.

This is just disappointingly bad

14 Ghost Rider (2007)

The only thing that prevents the Ghost Rider films from entering my worst comic book movie list is Nicolas Cage's overracting which is always fun to watch.

What person looked at Johnny blaze and thought "Nicholas cage is the man for THIS role"

15 The Amazing Spider-Man 2

I think this movie was alright, but the only thing I hated about it was Electro's death. He had POTENTIAL to be a reformed villain, yet the writers just killed him off the storyboard. He just wanted to be respected. And his death wasn't even done in a good way. He just died, a few seconds of him laying on the ground and that was it. I'm disappointed.

This was noticeably just made for money and sequels, they marketed Rhino, even though he's in this movie around five minutes, tried to rush the Green Goblin and had God awful CGI to Electronic, Slams that together with no real motives at all and bad directing and you'll get this piece of crazy movie.

16 X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Part of it is really good. But halfway through it becomes weird and overall bad (not to mention that they butchered Deadpool).

A horrible movie that butchered 2 of the greatest X-Men characters ever, Deadpool and Gambit

17 Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

It would Have at least been an ok movie if it wasn't for that annoying editing, like who thought that was a good idea, the most used one is for no reason the film speeds up for 2 second, but the worst was when he gets shot by a rocket and that causes him to float in the air and spin around, what were they thinking? And ghost rider is barely in this movie, in the first movie he was in it a lot, but in this movie he gets his powers taken away, why? We want to see ghost rider, this is one of the worst comic book movies of all time

18 Batman Forever

It's not that bad. It's just more comical. This movie is the reason I love superheroes so much. Let me tell you the cycle:

I love Jim Carrey because he's my favourite comedian > Jim Carrey is the Riddler > The Riddler became my favourite Batman villain > I got Batman: Arkham City because it has the Riddler in it > I read Riddler comics > Then I gave Batman: The Animated Series a shot > I love Batman and his rogues gallery > Batman was in Justice League: The Animated Series > I watched it and now love DC superheroes > I watched the New 52 movies > Now I am a major fan of superhero movies.

19 Fantastic Four

Chris Evans is horrible at playing human torch.

Plain boring? The 2015 film was a milion billion times worse than this.

20 Supergirl

Supergirl looks like superman with photoshop hair and boobs, we're in for a good movie.

It was'nt really a gender-swapped superhero it was technically Superman's cousin. By the way, that DC Superhero Girls was plain awful.

Why isn't this higher? There's nothing good about it.

21 Man of Steel

It's not your typical marvel movie but it's way better than all of them, heck it's box office destroyed most of Phase one's. people don't see how realistic it would be if superman actually came to this world, because this movie clearly proves it. Beautiful Soundtrack and not to mention the next two movies B.V.S and Suicide Squad destroyed the first 3 marvel movies so imagine how great the future DC movies will be

Ok, so Superman is a "Superhero." If so, why did a bomb go off and kill millions of people?!?! See, isn't Superman supposed to save the day? Really people?!?! Like, it was a setup for Batman V Superman, but seriously. He's supposed to save the world!

22 Superman Returns

What what, this is thirteen on best, this is one of the best. I'm sorry you want explosions and punching, then sod off and watch mos. Plus no violence in superman one and it gets love.

Really? This movie is kindof boring but is not a bad movie. It had like 78% or something on rotten tomatoes for crying out loud. It does not deserve to be placed with these other truly bad movies in the top 10

No one could replace Christopher Reeve. The story was okay, but I just wish it came when the real superman was still around.

23 Dark Phoenix

Absolute worst entry in the entire X-Men franchise.

I can't believe they had the audacity to drag poor Jessica Chastain into this appalling trainwreck of a movie.

24 Spider-Man 3

I was like 7 when this came out. So when Peter went emo and started dancing down the street and all that weird stuff, I thought it was pretty funny. But now I watch it, and I'm like, how much did they pay him to do this? Not enough. Also, I did not understand Sandman's weakness - water, right? Well, near the end of the movie, the guy has tears in his eyes! Oh, let's not forget Harry's glider can be controlled by him, right? Because he called it back to him when he and Peter had their fight in the city. So when Venom had the glider and was about to kill Peter, why did Harry jump in front of him? He could have just called it back to him! Other than that, the movie was okay. But compared to the new ones with Andrew Garfield, this is way better. Seriously, how does he put that mask on with that full head of hair?

25 Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

I hate them all! Their asss! Their not heroes! I want Luigi to kick their ass hard as he can!

I just hate what they did to galactus, seriously, that wasn't galactus it was a storm cloud

Come on guys, even though the first one was bad, this one is actually really good
