8 Terrible Modern Marvel And DC Movies That (Thankfully) Failed To Kill The Superhero Genre

"Superhero fatigue"? Give us a break. As some continue trying to tear the comic book movie genre down by claiming people are growing tired of it, we look back at 8 awful adaptations it managed to survive!

Listen to the haters and you'd probably be convinced that "superhero fatigue" is currently in full effect. While the genre is going through some growing pains, the heroes of the Marvel and DC Universes aren't ready to go the way of Western gunslingers quite yet.

Over the years, there have been a lot of bad superhero movies but the genre has managed to survive them all. Batman and Robin, Fantastic Four, and Black Adam may all instantly spring to mind, though there are heaps of other examples which came much closer to killing our beloved comic book adaptations.

Thankfully, they didn't manage to do so, though they did leave a lasting impact...in the worst way possible. In this feature, we look back at some of those blockbusters, from the box office bombs to the movies which clearly didn't understand their subject matter.

To see which movies we've singled out, you just need to click on the "Next" button below.

8. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014)

We've all spent the past couple of years celebrating Andrew Garfield's return as Spider-Man, largely because the actor desperately needed redemption after 2014's The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

A jumbled, overstuffed mess, Avi Arad attempted to expand this corner of the Marvel Universe in the laziest way possible, throwing as many villains - and their tech - into one movie as possible. The budget spiralled out of control and the sequel was deemed a box office disappointment despite a respectable $709 million haul.

Sony bosses scrapped plans for at least three more movies - including Sinister Six - and fired Garfield. What could have marked the end of Spidey's time on screen for an extended post-Batman and Robin-like period was thankfully avoided when Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige took the opportunity to convince the rival studio they should allow him to bring a new Peter Parker into the MCU.

7. Green Lantern (2011)

Many of you will look at the image above and scoff, but back in 2010, a lot of us were very excited about Green Lantern. While Ryan Reynolds was an unexpected choice to play Hal Jordan, it really did appear as if Warner Bros. was bringing this character's world to life on screen in a movie that, visually, could rival Avatar.

The opposite was true, of course, and the movie sucked. Very little about it worked and as one of the most expensive blockbusters ever made at the time, all it could really do was flop.

Had Warner Bros. not found such great success with Christopher Nolan's Batman movies, this might have been it for the DC Universe on screen. The studio was already prioritising Harry Potter and The Hobbit at the time and Green Lantern was arguably bad enough to make them think these DC characters just wouldn't work on screen outside of Batman and Superman. It actually took until 2016 for a DC movie to be released which didn't star either of these heroes.

6. Catwoman (2004)

Essentially a cash-grab cobbled together by Warner Bros., Catwoman may have featured one of the world's biggest movie stars at the time - Halle Berry - but almost nothing about it worked. For starters, there was no sign of Batman, even after this was originally developed as a vehicle for Michelle Pfeiffer.

Cheesy, borderline nonsensical, and just poorly made in almost every conceivable sense, Catwoman is largely blamed for why, even now, there are so few superhero movies with female leads. For many studio execs, this movie's failure was enough to convince them that people simply weren't willing to buy a ticket for a comic book adaptation where a woman is front and centre.

Catwoman also did little to help Berry's career and, while this didn't doom the genre, it also did nothing but damage it in the long run.

5. Daredevil (2003)

While there had been superhero movie hits like Blade and X-Men, it wasn't until Spider-Man that Hollywood finally realised it might be on to something with these costumed do-gooders. That movie broke box office records at the time and was a clear indication that, yes, spandex sells!

Coming out a year later with a darker tone, Daredevil had the potential to be another hit. The cast impressed and the story of a blind lawyer who fights crime is undeniably intriguing, even to those who have never picked up a comic book. Alas, despite a few minor redeeming qualities, it's an absolute dumpster fire of a movie.

The CG-heavy final act looked like a video game even two decades ago and, for 20th Century Fox, the movie was bad enough that they shelved Daredevil completely. Years later, Marvel Studios offered them the chance to keep the Man Without Fear in exchange for Galactus and Silver Surfer and, despite having no tangible plans for those characters, they held Matt Murdock in such low esteem, that the offer was declined.

As for the ill-fated Elektra movie, that was every bit as damaging as Catwoman for the reasons mentioned above.

4. Dark Phoenix (2019)

MV5-BMm-Zm-YTgw-ZGIt-NDIx-MS00-Mm-Rk-LWEz-ODQt-YTll-Nz-M0-ZWE1-Nm-Q5-Xk-Ey-Xk-Fqc-Gde-QXVy-ODQz-NTE3

If you want to talk about franchise-killing movies, Dark Phoenix very much fits the bill. After a better-than-expected reboot with X-Men: First Class, it appears the series was back on the right track with X-Men: Days of Future Past (even if failed to do the comic books justice).

X-Men: Apocalypse attempted to follow the MCU's example and couldn't pull it off. So, what did Fox do? They got the guy who dropped the ball on that movie - and several other Marvel adaptations - to take over and direct Dark Phoenix. After writing X-Men: The Last Stand, "filmmaker" Simon Kinberg ruined the Dark Phoenix Saga for a second time on screen, delivering a movie that would have ended this series for good had the Disney/Fox merger not happened.

The New Mutants wasn't good but is a mere footnote compared to the sheer crappiness of this effort. It felt like X-Men on a budget with a director who has zero vision, and that's exactly what it was. It was, in fact, so bad, that Marvel Studios will have waited nearly a decade before finally rebooting the characters.

3. Superman Returns (2006)

Bryan Singer left the X-Men franchise to make Superman Returns, a spiritual sequel to Richard Donner's classic movies (while conveniently glossing over the less-than-stellar sequels). The problem was, those were a product of their time and that tone and approach to the Man of Tomorrow didn't work decades later.

In a movie light on action and heavy on human drama, Singer and Warner Bros. mistakenly believed comic book fans wanted to see Superman being a crappy dad and pining for Lois Lane rather than taking advantage of 2006's VFX to show the hero actually punching someone!

It was too tame and, for some, cemented the opinion that Superman was outdated and didn't work on screen. The studio went in the opposite direction with the action-heavy Man of Steel, of course, but outside of small screen interpretations, it feels like we still haven't seen a definitive take on Kal-El in theaters. With any luck, James Gunn can change that with Superman: Legacy...

2. Morbius (2022)

We've already mentioned Avi Arad once here, and the fact he's still producing comic book movies...well, it's a crime. He no longer has access to the live-action Spider-Man - something we know he's unhappy about - and is instead intent on building a slate of projects revolving around the wall-crawler's villains.

Venom, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Morbius...each of those movies has had at least a few good points, but for the most part, they're lousy. That's definitely the case with the latter, a blockbuster which felt like it had travelled in time from the mid-2000s. An absolute embarrassment, by rights, this should have actually killed Sony's future Marvel plans.

Instead, we have the likes of Kraven the Hunter and Madame Web to "look forward" to. As for Morbius, for proof Avi is no Kevin Feige, look no further than the movie's abysmal post-credits scene setting up the not-so-Sinister Six.

1. The Flash (2023)

The most recent movie here is also one of the worst. Yes, we appreciate not all of you will agree with that sentiment, but c'mon, it didn't exactly live up to its promise or the ridiculous level of hype created by studio execs in advance of its release this past June.

Problematic leading man aside, The Flash featured visual effects worse than many of the movies featured here which were released in the mid-2000s. A tacked-on ending landed with a thud, as did fan service that boiled down to ghoulish cameos of dead actors brought to life with more of the aforementioned abysmal CGI. It was also the latest in a long line of DCEU flops for Warner Bros.

Honestly, had the studio not got new leadership, the performance of this (one of the biggest box office flops ever released), Black Adam, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, and Blue Beetle would have been enough for any reasonable studio exec to pull the plug on making movies based on this damaged brand.

Years of mismanagement very nearly killed the DCEU; now, it's up to DC Studios to fix it.

Eh, some of these movies were enjoyable. Split list.

mountainman - 10/24/2023, 12:11 PM

Superman Returns does not belong on the list with the rest of these.

Izaizaiza - 10/24/2023, 12:46 PM

@mountainman - I always thought of Superman returns as a pretty bad film, with a series of FANTASTIC scenes

mountainman - 10/24/2023, 12:58 PM

@Izaizaiza - Oh it’s not a great film by any means. In fact, I’d probably rate it a 6/10. But every other film on this list is far worse.

Izaizaiza - 10/24/2023, 1:01 PM

@mountainman - I definitely agree with that. Amazing how well Spider-Man two handled Gwen’s death for being such a bad movie otherwise

mountainman - 10/24/2023, 1:04 PM

@Izaizaiza - I thought the Peter and Gwen stuff was good in Amazing Spider-man 2. The costume was awesome and those movies had the coolest 1st person perspective scenes.

That movie primarily failed in its villains, which all three were so terrible they drag down any potential good parts.

I thought the first one was mostly good besides cool guy Peter, no snout Lizard, and the weird dark mystery with Peter’s parents.

Izaizaiza - 10/24/2023, 3:08 PM

@mountainman - agreed on all those points. The choice to go with "cool guy" Peter was a weird one

mountainman - 10/24/2023, 3:33 PM

@Izaizaiza - I liked Garfield as Spider-man but didn’t like him as Peter. Funnily enough, I liked Maguire as Peter but felt his Spider-man wasn’t as good as Garfield’s.

Izaizaiza - 10/24/2023, 3:37 PM

@mountainman - agree again

DanFlashesShirt - 10/24/2023, 8:22 PM

@mountainman - wasn’t a bad movie, just kind of boring for a Superman movie.

NightEagle3 - 10/24/2023, 12:14 PM

I LOGGED IN just to demand Superman Returns is taken off this list immediately!!

JonAwesome - 10/24/2023, 12:14 PM

Ryan Reynolds should have been cast as The Flash and Bradley Cooper should have been Green Lantern!

Order66 - 10/24/2023, 12:21 PM

Avi Arad is a cancer and needs to be removed from any CBM.

Mercwitham0uth - 10/24/2023, 12:38 PM

@Order66 - Agreed. He's a toy guy anyway.

I remember how he demanded Eddie Brock/Venom be put in Spider-Man 3 because it would "sell toys".

Spider-Man 3 was already bloated enough with Gobby Jr., Sandman, and a crappily placed excuse of a Gwen, MJ, Peter love triangle.

HulkisHoly - 10/24/2023, 12:54 PM

@Mercwitham0uth -

I go back and forth on this one. Spider-Man 3 has a great final act but it’s really messy on how it gets there, not dissimilar to Dark Knight Rises. Peter, MJ, and Harry were always the three main characters in all three films. Every film is really about them all, not just Peter. To have Peter forgive Sandman and Harry sacrificing himself was good.

But, I think the film would have been better with just Goblin and Venom or Sandman. If they did just Venom, I think it could have been smart since, Eddie Brock is the only unsympathetic villain in the Raimi films. Remove the Sandman Uncle Ben true killer plot. Perhaps have Harry kill Gwen similar to the comics in the middle of the film, and this drives Peter into a murdereous revenge mission via the black suit while MJ is being ignored and disrespected. Then of course, Harry could pretend to be a good person to MJ and manipulate her against Peter, while Eddie continues to gun for Peter’s job at work thus leading to his firing etc and revenge eventually into Venom.

Something along those lines could have worked and been more streamlined than what we got due to all the Sandman stuff.

BillyBatson1000 - 10/24/2023, 12:34 PM

Some of those characters are second-stringers that need a more popular focus.

The whole 'collective cinematic universe' deal is behind us. Marvel had a fantastic (with varied degrees of quality) run up to 'Avengers: Endgame'. Now Marvel/DC should be thinking:

One solid film. One at a time.

Make A great film. Then I'll begin trusting again.

NinnesMBC - 10/25/2023, 1:07 AM

@BillyBatson1000 - That safe approach makes a lot of sense for DC films right now though, if WBD wasn't so hungry for quick cash they would listen.

BillyBatson1000 - 10/25/2023, 4:56 AM

@NinnesMBC - Yep - W.Bros couldn't even sell the DC properties now (aside from Batman) with any realistic expectation of a profit. The 'brand' is damaged (even if that's just in the court of public perception). They could rebuild, gradually with stand-alone, lower-budget films based on characters that require less CGI and other expensive elements. DC's history contains tons of gems - just like Marvel.

SiMo - 10/24/2023, 12:37 PM

Not even one MCU movie?
Well, if you say so.

Fogs - 10/24/2023, 12:55 PM

@SiMo - Just wait for The Marvels.

After Eternals and Quantumania that's the next gut punch the MCU will take.

mountainman - 10/24/2023, 1:00 PM

@Fogs - If that tracking is accurate, it’ll make less than $400 million WW. It’s going to be the biggest non-pandemic loss in MCU history.

mountainman - 10/24/2023, 1:03 PM

@Fogs - And I’m being pretty generous with that $400 million WW estimate. It could do MUCH worse than that. We could be looking at a Flash level bomb here.

Fogs - 10/24/2023, 3:54 PM

@mountainman - Word of mouth will make it or break it. Odds are not good for this one.

DanFlashesShirt - 10/24/2023, 8:25 PM

@Fogs - you think it will bomb or you WANT it to bomb?

Fogs - 10/25/2023, 5:36 AM

@DanFlashesShirt - I want it to be good AND not to bomb. I grew up with Marvel comics and am afraid the best CBM period is past us, and I don't want that.

But I don't think this film is going to be successful. It looks bland AF just like Quantumania, unfortunately.

TheVandalore - 10/24/2023, 12:42 PM

There will never be a worse comic book movie than Catwoman. I don't even consider the old Captain America or unreleased Fantastic Four movie to be as bad as Catwoman. Other comic book movies are bad, but Catwoman was offensive to the senses. It hurts my brain trying to vibe with the writers vision. Just on every level, Catwoman is conceptually and entirely an abomination.

TheVandalore - 10/24/2023, 12:45 PM

It's an abomination to the point of if I were to ever meet someone who unironically likes Catwoman, I wouldn't feel safe with that person.

DanFlashesShirt - 10/24/2023, 8:26 PM

@TheVandalore - ?si=3jnLXLzPphhBwuRI

Usernametaken - 10/24/2023, 12:43 PM

I actually liked Dark Phoenix and Superman Returns.

HulkisHoly - 10/24/2023, 12:43 PM

Flash wasn’t that bad. The CGI was the only abysmal part I’d say, Ignoring Ezra as psycho in real life, of course.
Again, it’s not an incredible film but I would say it’s the best of this list, easily.

cubichy - 10/24/2023, 12:49 PM

I agree with most, but black adam should be on the list and so should the worst mcu movie, love and blunder.@taika destroyed thor and crated a 3 stooges, power rangers flix, full of plotholes, kiddies fighting spiders bad cgi and Harry Potter flying. As a matter of fact, all movies on the list are better than blunder, except green lantern and morbious.

Highflyer - 10/24/2023, 12:57 PM

The director's cut of daredevil was good and I'll die on that hill.

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 10/24/2023, 1:31 PM

Superman Returns is not terrible. It's pretty good imo. The only things I don't like are stalker Superman and the fact that he doesn't throw a single punch. Other than that, it's the most "Superman" movie there is next to the first two Donner films. Singer captured the spirit of the character quite perfectly. The tone of the movie has just the right balance of lightheartedness, seriousness, and camp. The action sequences are amazing. It's full of hope and heroism. The score is great. And one thing that I think gets overlooked the most is the production design. Metropolis feels like an actual fictional city. I love the art deco influence. It's very reminiscent of how its been drawn in the comics.

JustAWaffle - 10/24/2023, 1:48 PM

Besides Catwoman and Morbius, each of these were watchable and even enjoyable. Not amazing by any stretch of the imagination, but still watchable.

emeraldtaurus - 10/24/2023, 1:51 PM

Superman returns was a little disappointing...but definitely does not deserve to be on this list. Shame about the lack of fight scenes , too many sentimental story elements, snd the return to Krypton scene , which was cut, is jaw dropping !!

marvel72 - 10/24/2023, 1:52 PM

No Eternals,Ant-Man 3 or The Marvels.

DanFlashesShirt - 10/24/2023, 8:28 PM

@marvel72 - because Eternals wasn’t a bad movie. Also, the Marvels, really? You’re that triggered by a movie that hasn’t even come out yet?
