It’s a question that has caused fans of cinema to lose countless hours over debating: What is the best and worst of any given film franchise?
ScreenAge Wasteland aims to find the common ground by asking its community to participate in a collaborative ranking of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Spanning a decade, the DCEU consists of 16 films (Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, Justice League, Aquaman, Shazam!, Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman 1984, Zack Snyder’s Justice League, The Suicide Squad, Black Adam, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, The Flash, Blue Beetle, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom) and one television series (Peacemaker).
Submit your ranking of the 17 projects that comprise the DCEU to info.screenagewasteland@gmail.com by Friday, March 29. All you have to do is order the DCEU from best to worst and include a sentence or two (no longer than a paragraph please) about each superhero title (your favorite part, why it is great/terrible, etc.).
Here’s an example of what a response might look like for Pixar’s A Bug’s Life:
- Surely most people put this at the bottom of their list? For all I know A Bug’s Life is much better than I remember, but I think it was forever cursed as being “not as good as Toy Story.” I sure as hell know it is better than Antz though.
Once the deadline has passed, we’ll tally up the various rankings, cherrypick the best responses for each film, and put together a massive collab ranking before the end of the month.

Thanks in advance to everyone who participates. You are a true superhero.
NOTE: As long as you have seen at least 10 DCEU titles you can participate. Just rank the ones you have seen. Do not rank those you haven’t. The scores will be adjusted depending on how many you rank.
NOTE: We are considering Justice League (2017) and Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021) as separate films, so rank accordingly.
