Top 10 DC Comics Superhero Movies of All Time

DC Comics invented the super-hero genre with Superman in 1938, followed by Batman in 1939, the Flash in 1940, and Wonder Woman in 1941. So it was natural that DC's characters would largely create and revolutionize the almost-30 year old comic book movie franchise film industry. Check out the following list of the top 10 DC Comics comic book movies of all time.

(10) "Supergirl" (1984). Helen Slater stars as Kryptonian refugee Kara Zor-El. Her father, Zor-El, played by Simon Ward, is brother of Jor-El, whose only kid is Kal-El, known on Earth as Superman. Adventure runs in the family. Unfortunately, success doesn't. "Supergirl" flopped in the States though it was a more successful film overseas - especially in Japan - but that doesn't mean it's a horrible movie. The story is lighter and more like a fairy-tale than the high adventure in the "Superman" films. Faye Dunaway plays a truly campy, vile witch. But the real reason this movie earns a place on the top 10 is Supergirl herself, Helen Slater. Like Christopher Reeve, Slater immersed herself in the role. She trained with the fitness experts who trained Reeve. While the story falls flat in places, and its views on teenagers more at home in the 1950s than the 1980s, it presents a very in-character Girl of Steel, so in character, it would seem, that less than a year later DC Comics killed off the Supergirl character in the comic book series, "Crisis on Infinite Earths".
