🕑 Added 2024-10-12 19:10:02 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
HOLY SHIT!!!! This one was totally wild! I never thought a 3 hour movie could pass by so quickly! I LOVED this one! That being said, there were a BUNCH of things that I picked apart about it.
I won't spoil anything, so I will let you all watch the reaction to pick up on my gripes with this movie. Hint: it builds off of what I said was wrong with Man of Steel, BUT there are a lot of other things that I had to say about this movie, as well...
Guys, this is where I need you, because I need to know the hierarchy of DC movies. Give me the TOP 5 BEST DC MOVIES! IN ORDER!!!
Love you all so much!!

this is exactly how batman would act if superman attacked him, Batman would take out the Entire Justice League if he wanted too

imo his Batman movie would've been terrible. I mean, Batman doesn't kill, that's one of his best character traits, but this version has no issue with it lol. Also, back in like 2009 Snyder said his version of Batman is one that could get raped in the prison shower. Probably not a great thing to hear from someone who ended up handling the Batman character lol

kenny mannino
fun fact, the senator with the lisp is also the VA for elastigirl in the incredibles.
NuunOzil
still waiting for Wonder Woman and Zack Snyder Justice League reaction :(
Dante's Inferno
When do get to see you watch Justice league :)) ?
The Splawn
The fact that you just blindly assumed that Superman would dispose of Batman so easily is amusing. Batman's contingency plans have contingency plans lol Also, you gotta watch the Justice League Snyder Cut movie. If you wanted the full spectrum leading up to it, you could watch the Wonder Woman movie first. That shows her origin in this universe and shows the backstory of that picture that you see her in, in this movie.
Viktor Shevyrev
you have no knowledge
Charles Walker
Yeah the studio destroyed this shit. When the makers actually got to release their vision years later we got to see it but it was too late
Brady Schwartz
idk i think josh killed it in this movie his cadence carries that sound of ill intentions and his demeanor is always keeping you guessing also love the reaction
Marc Stüttgen
The best DC Movie is Suicide Squad (2021)
Pistols O'Brien
The Alfred actor is actually older than he seems. Jeremy Irons was only 4 years younger than Michael Caine was in Batman Begins
Rocketboy
The fact that you randomly looked away for 1.5sec when it was what is in my opinion one of the coolest shot of the movie hahahaha (not blaming you at all it happens, it was random but made me laugh lol)
Rocketboy
Justice League (Zack Snyder's cut) is THE BEST ONE + Suicide Squad (the 2nd one), Wonder woman 1 deserve to be seen !!! Adding to that the tv show Peacemaker which is freaking great, one of the best superhero tv show out there MCU included
Andrew Pudwill
He had to have killed at least 6 people in the car chase
Jackson Scarberry
If he had better writing Ben affleck could’ve been one of the best Batman’s. I personally loved his adaptation of it, his suit is hands down one of if not my favorites.
Nightmareman99
Damn man never got around to watching this version of the film it’s so much better than the og release. I love how they lean more into the knightmare world (the dystopian visions) they had the dcau going in a very cool direction. The knightmare world is very reminiscent of the injustice storyline. Injustice is a comic (and animated film) about Superman being pushed so far over the edge by the joker that he becomes a tyrant killing “crime” before it can start. Like Knightmare Clark blames Bruce for everything because he refused to kill the joker sooner. All it takes is one bad day Side note this film is based of the death of Superman (doomsday) and the original dark knight comics (Batman v Superman)

Wonder Woman THE Suicide Squad Man of Steel

You could probably write a 100-page essay about everything that's wrong with the DCEU movies. The fact that most of them required extensive reshoots or even alternate versions (like this one) to fix the messy stories and writing is a testament to the lacking quality. The biggest flaw for me will always be the unfaithful portrayal of the characters though. If you know Superman and Batman from the source material (like the comics), you wouldn't even recognize them in the characters shown in this movie. It's pretty painful to see how something like Justice League Unlimited, which is a children's cartoon, does a significantly better job showing off the characters in an accurate way. If you want to continue watching more DCEU movies, I can recommend the first Wonder Woman movie and Justice League (the Snyder Cut version). It's very long and not perfect, but it's miles better than the theatrical release. "The Suicide Squad" (different movie from just "Suicide Squad") is also pretty good.
TMK
I think you're mixing up the Suicide Squad movies. The first one is one of the worst (superhero) movies of all time, the second one is the good one.
Abuzz Klanica
you are so dumb
C Tuley
Honestly, even though it isn’t a part of this universe I really think you should watch Teen Titans go to the movies once you’re done with a lot of these because that movie is so Meta, but some of its jokes that I think you would actually really enjoy it
Ravh
Suicide squad Wonder Woman Justice leauge
Baba Yaga
Think of green Kryptonite like super cancer once it's near a Kryptonian (maybe a poor analogy but an accurate one)
Michael Hodgkinson
u asked if aquaman is a badass movie....... Ahhhhh YEAH!!!!!!
Abuzz Klanica
Wtf no😂😂😂😭😭😭 then you dont know who batman is 😭😭
Michael Hodgkinson
ahhhh yeah,, batman definitely kills when necessary
Michael Hodgkinson
n which movie r u referring??
Michael Hodgkinson
yes this man knows the deal!!!👌
Michael Hodgkinson
another words its Terrible
Michael Hodgkinson
and please dont even waste yout time with SHAZAM, awful, and corny as hell
Michael Hodgkinson
yeah,, entirely way too fuckin long
Michael Hodgkinson
the first suicide squad, the 2nd one is garbage, n the snyder cut justice league is not as good as good as everyone claims it 2 b,, its worth watching tho,, its definitely WAY TO LONG!
Michael Hodgkinson
Aquaman,, man of steel,, the flash,, wondr woman, justice league
Nerveroxis
If this didn't come out at the height of the MCU then I think the DCU had a chance of being great even with a mid Justice League.
jake hassler
Alex you def have to watch the rest of the DCU. This was a really fun reaction. Had a blast.
Michael
We should make a dc day sometime, similar to marvel Monday
Lewis Ramos
He’d have to do two parts cuz it’s 4 hours long
Lewis Ramos
This movie has a special place in my heart, Batfleck 4 life🙌🏼
Brian Stanaland
LOVE the fuckin names you came up with for Jesse Eisenberg!
Ethan Saylor
this makes me want him to watch superman and lois sooooooooooo bad
LogicPBX
You got to do them in order if you want my bro. . . Wonder Woman. . Suicide Squad . . ZSJL. . .Aquaman. . .Shazam . .etc lol
Terancino Nakai
My reply was to Alex Hefner. The Owner of this page. HAGL 🙌🏻
Nightmareman99
You notice who was playing Bruce’s parents at the beginning? Fkin Negan and Maggie from the walking dead. This film birthed fans begging for Warner bros to give us a flashpoint paradox live action film. The flashpoint story is where the flash goes back in time to save his mother from dying sending ripples throughout the world changing the timeline. If the flashpoint universe Bruce was the one who dies not his parents. His dad became Batman one who uses guns and isn’t afraid to kill while his mother went insane and became the joker. There is a animated film that is great and with show just how badass aquaman is.
Adam Ramirez
Correct. So let's swap it for The Flash 😜
Jordan Wing
Justice league ZACK SNYDER EDITION
Brayden
He's already watched The Batman. Plus it also has nothing to do with the DCEU franchise.
Mehdi R.
What do you mean we might never get these two on the screen again? James Gunn is literally creating a new universe where Batman and Superman will coexist
Vic Nadata
Alex, as a long time DC fan, trust me I’m old AF, you need to watch the original Superman with Christopher Reeve, just for general backstory and Superman knowledge in general. I think you’re missing a few things in these that they assume the viewer is aware of. Doomsday, the final beast at the end, was never touched on in the films before. Doomsday and the death of Superman was a story in comics back in 1992. Yes I remember it well, thank you. So that part of the story would have been new to any viewer of the movies. Cavill is an awesome Superman, and I thought the whole cast is good. Your next watch in the series is Wonder Woman and Aquaman, but I would watch the 1978 Superman before finally tackling the Snyder Cut Justice League.
Terancino Nakai
Such a good movie lots of hard work put into it. From set building to post production. All you got left is the 5 hours Snyder crafted perfectly to end it all. Good creativity. If comics can change and have different iterations so can movies. We might never get to see these two Goliath of characters hit the screen together because of horrendous fans. Can’t wait for the next reactions to WW, aquaman, and Snyders justice league. 🙌🏻🔥
Anarane
My general opinion is that regardless of what DCEU movies you watch as a reactor, at some point in your life you should watch The Suicide Squad (2021) because I'm very confident you will enjoy that movie. It's by the same director as Guardians of the Galaxy but it's a bit more...off kilter. It's a very well made example of violently comedic superhero movies.
Abuzz Klanica
Batman whos older, whos in deeper depresion and has no hope and dont care about killing. Is such good concept but snyder didnt make this good. Thats my whole problem with this.
Eshin Squirrel-Knight Revan
Older Batman starts killing... well first he stops pulling his punches, then he stops caring whether they live or die, and then finally he starts going for kill shots... most of the people batman fought in this movie, with the exception of the vision of the future, were alive when he left them... they may not have stayed that way for long, and there was at least one guy who is full-on paralysed from the neck down, but Batman only murdered the Russian.
Jordan Tanner
In my opinion, Man of Steel Batman v. Superman (Ultimate) Zack Snyder's Justice League The Flash make a good condensed story arc. Aquaman is good too.
Jordan Tanner
Now you can watch Aquaman and Wonder Woman, or you could just jump straight into Zack Snyder's Justice League. For the love of all things holy, do not watch the Joss Whedon version of Justice League. Snyder's is long but it is 1,000% better. Justice League (Whedon) 40% 🍅 Zack Snyder's Justice League 71% 🍅
I Phone
How do you have such a wrong opinion
Abuzz Klanica
Bro what??😂😂😂
Abuzz Klanica
If you like better for you but snyder is bad director and this is the cause
NuunOzil
Man hopefully you’ll dive into some of the DC Animated Universe. Starting with Flashpoint Paradox
Diana
Batman kills in the comics
Diana
The OG “Superman The Movie” with Christopher Reeves, is still the best imo. It has the emotion Alex is looking for.
MarySoul
As someone that grew up loving the Justice league, that dressed up as Wonder Woman as a child, and had much love for Superman movies because I used to watch them with my dad, the CRs ones, and as cheesy as Lex Luthor (the actor's name it's escaping me now) may have come across in that version (Gene Hackman???), I would still prefer it 100% more, style wise than this Heisenberg version. I don't believe any true fan can really love it. Enroll Elon Musk, next time, that would be very realistic 😁🫣
Redious
This is probably one of the most softcore weenie hutt jr. rated R movie ever
Fleshtotem
Always good to start the reaction off a little sticky
Fleshtotem
I personally like this more jaded version of the character
Chad Higgins
Alex my take on the entire DCEU is that they rushed way too much and lost a lot of emotion like you said. If I were you I wouldn't view these movies as how the characters actually are (the movies that do that the best are the DCAU movies)
Chad Higgins
I agree. These movies are really cool action movies but horrible DC and CBMs
Abuzz Klanica
Batman doesn't kill. This is the worst batman weve ever had in live action.
ThatStonerB
DCEU ranking for me would have to be: 1) Wonder Woman 2) Man of Steel 3) Snyders Justice League 4) Aquaman 5) Shazam
Michael Shelton
Alex, you keep saying it's a no brainer that superman versus batman, no contest, superman wins... yet in the comics, Batman has beaten every superhero that he has come up against because he is smart enough to come up with a plan to win in every scenario, including the Hulk, when DC and Marvel did a crossover. He's trained himself to be the physical peak of humanity. He has the intelligence and the finances to create technology and weapons to rival god's and to outthink every foe, he faces the only one that ever posed a real threat to him in the outcome was the joker, because he was so chaotic and unpredictable. So as you are saying, yeah, it's a no brainer, thinking that superman is the obvious win, everyone that has knowledge of the comics is saying yeah, it's a no brainer, Batman's got this in the bag.
Diana
Alex, one final thought about DC (all of DC, not just the movies): DC has arguably the top 3 superheroes of all time. Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman. Some call them the trinity of superheroes. Superman directly got his name from the German idea of the “Übermensch.” It’s always about their power and fighting evil (Batman using his detective skills and weapons), and ability to rule the world if they wanted to but choose to help humanity instead. It’s not about their relationships, character development, or emotional arcs. Those 3 never really had that to the same degree other characters did, and when stories try to add that to them, it ruins the god-like aspects of what they are. They work together to defeat evil and Batman uses his ingenuity, money, and detective skills to help, but also keep the other two in check - many times in the comics hiding stashes of kryptonite weapons as insurance. And Batman does kill in the comics and is a loner. He’s not looking to chill and hang out. He’s on a mission and only wants to partner with them for strategic purpose, not friendship. By the way, DC stands for Detective Comics.
Diana
Yes
fadyq1326y1
Joshua Eisenblast, that one cracked me up lol
jamie minnell
and "my wife walked out on me" "we know you're not gonna do that"
jamie minnell
professor Lex needs a mention too.
jamie minnell
is "senitor Jane Finch" elasta girl?
jamie minnell
gotta respect the leg up joke
Michael Seiber
Good reaction but.. you don’t have to tell us every fucking time you don’t like Jesse’s acting sheesh other than that 100% agree with the emotional stuff. It’s good when they do it but if they did it more than they did it would have been perfect
TWIZTIDpsycho69
Top 5 DCEU 1.Man of Steel 2. Zack Snyder s Justice League 3. Batman V Superman(Ultimate cut) 4. Wonder woman 5. Aquaman This isn't the definitive list, it's just my favorites. N my favorites from this universe is what I'll call the "Zack Snyder DC trilogy" (Man of Steel, BvS, and Zack Snyder's Justice League)
TWIZTIDpsycho69
Whatever you do, STAY AWAY from Justice League 2017 theatrical cut
TWIZTIDpsycho69
If you watch nothing else from the DCEU, watch Zack Snyder's Justice League. Key word: ZACK SNYDER'S Justice League. Then if you wanted to watch anything else, the Wonderwoman movies, Aquaman movies and Shazam movies. And maybe The Flash
Kalen Shoemaker
WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAMEEEEE
Donny Alberts
Bro all the different things you call Jesse Eisenberg throughout this movie😂😂😂
Farmer Jayy
I remember seeing it in theaters was badass then like its badass now killer movie Zack Snyder's Justice League is off the fucking chain and yes the Aquaman movie is a epic film in its self people use to think of Aquaman as a kinda lame ass character bitch who can only talk to fish jk jk haha etc. the movie helped change the perception.
Bmaster532
The Batman in this movie got rid of his no kill rule because the Joker killed Robin.
Zakk Z
and aquaman
Zakk Z
You have to watch the first Wonder Women and Aquaman before you watch Justice League and make sure its the Synder Cut JL
Nate D.
Yeah, let Luther is supposed to be more of a mature politician type bad guy who isn't out to just kill people, but if very scheming for all kinds of different goals, not some weird quirky college kid...
Adam Ramirez
Top 5 DC Movies in view order 1. Man of Steel #2 2. Batman V Superman #3 3. Wonder Woman #4 4. Zack Snyders Justice League #1 5. The Batman #5 Excluding: - OG Tim Burton Saga -Christopher Nolan Dark Knight Saga (My personal Favorite)
Tay Tay
I like how (A)lex recognized B-15 (Wunmi Mosaku) immediately in Deadpool but not at all in BvS! And it's not the headset you're just really jumpy lol
Miss Molly
I agree 100%!!!
Ana
So are we getting justice league Snyder cut...? Please
Zakk Z
the way my mouth dropped when you bit into that orange 😭
Chad Higgins
Yeah I rounded up to 5 hence why I said nearly 5. You are correct the actual time is 4 1/2 hours
Matthew
Really? Google said it’s under 4 and 1/2 hours. (Not trying to say you’re wrong just curious where you got that)
Diana
Wonder Woman came next
Diana
Wonder Woman is next
Cooking with Emerson
The end literally means ZACK SNYDER JUSTICE LEAGUE IS NEXT! No spoilers but you gotta see it next!
Greg
Top 5 in order? Wonder Woman Zack Synder’s Justice League Man of Steel Aquaman Batman v Superman But in what to watch next I’d say, Wonder Woman then ZSJL Continuity wise after BVS? Wonder Woman Wonder Woman 1984 Suicide Squad ZSJL Aquaman Shazam! Birds of Prey The Suicide Squad Black Adam Shazam! Fury of the Gods The Flash Blue Beetle Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom
Adam Ramirez
Let's goooooo!!!
PuNKD Steven
Gotham is a fantastic series. Met Sean Pertwee a few times at cons, real great guy. Hopefully in the not so distant future that could be a series Alex reacts to
Metal Machine
Also the Gotham series is good, for DC, and Agents of SHIELD of Marvel. Both are the great series.
Metal Machine
no, Wonderwoman must be.
Metal Machine
He is a coming. Who? Thanos. Or equivalent.
jamie jones
So batman has gone crazy, is literally cutting supermans cheek like a psychopath but stops because martha? Gtfo. The government send in drones to blow up the place, he take them out, then gets framed by lexs crew for killing everyone and the government calls him to a ln open hearing. Wouldnt he just say why am i here answering for these deaths when yall sent in drones to kill everyone. And when superman learns his mom has been taken he has one hour, he could search the entire earth ten times over in an hour looking for her but hes like no, ill gonto batman. Then when he meets batman he could just grab him a fly up and be like listen but no. Then after the first kryptonite cannister, the second gets shot at him. That would be slow mo to superman but instead he just jumps into it and takes it. Fuck he could blown it away from him by lightly breathing. And batman just killing everyone, defeats thugs in their car, then attaches a cable to the car to destroy it and make sure everyone is dead. God i hate this movie. I could list 100 more things i hate. This movie mad me sad in theaters.
Eloy yaxon
Justice league Snyder cut is definitely next 😁
Josh
For the most part I would agree with you but in my opinion that’s not quite as true in ZSJL. (Spoilers ahead) What Snyder did with Cyborg was in my opinion the strongest character work and emotional connection that he’s done in the DCEU, and I’d say that Cyborgs character development is kind of the heart of that whole movie.
Live and Another Games
I'd like to see the watchmen here
Jordan Skinner
I do understand where Alex is coming from when he says the movie lacks emotional depth, but, I also feel that could be from him not knowing the comics. I believe the movie kind of relies on you knowing the story of Lois and Clark and their relationship to feel the emotion between them. While the MCU can tell a good origin story and people without comic knowledge can get it, the DCEU just expects you to know the characters already going in.
David
Gotta watch Wonder Woman next. The first film is very good.
David Crabtree
My Top 5 Favorite DC movies: 1) Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021), 2) Wonder Woman (2017), 3) Batman (1989), 4) The Batman, 5) Batman Returns
L-E-D-Chris
Ye
Diana
I prefer the animated DC movies. Gritty, violent, intense action, sometimes gory. But if we’re just going off of live action ones: Wonder Woman The Dark Knight Rises The Dark Knight Snyder Cut: Justice League Zack Snyder only cares about visuals. And they are great. But you won’t find character development or emotional connection to the characters in any of his movies
zimy__
Bro you need to watch the penguin series, its absolutely incredible
lunasera
I think these are the best: The Suicide Squad (2021) Batman Begins The Dark Knight Batman (1989) Watchmen Joker The Penguin series is INCREDIBLE and a must watch
Neon_ninja
Alex, my brother, you have so many questions about ratings and why certain movies get them; did you ever watch the film 'This Film is Not yet Rated'? it's from Kirby Dick, it'll give you an insight into this process even from nearly 30 years ago, and it's only gotten more stringent.
Jordan Tanner
DCEU Just watch: Zack Snyder’s Justice League and The Flash and you’ll be good to pass on the rest.
Isak Lillemoen
Penguin🐧
L-E-D-Chris
I'd suggest u forget everything yk abt the dcu and just go into every movie open minded bc Zack Snyder LOVES to not follow comic plots and not stay loyal to the characters
Thunder
Technically suicide squad is next right?
Chad Higgins
Alex Alfred is actually more accurate in these movies since he's a very capable fighter and ex British secret service
David
It was kinda cool watching it back to see the actress who played Hunter B-15 in Loki. (she was the woman whos town/village was destroyed and testified against superman).
Cooking with Emerson
After watching this one DEFINITELY REACT TO JUSTICE LEAGUE ZAK SNYDER VERSION! Not the theatrical version. 🚨
crackdobby
You are right, Jamie Eisenhower is overacting, that's not at all what Lex Luthor is supposed to act, nor look like
Riley Wilkin
Best DCEU movies: 1. Wonder woman 2. Aquaman 3. Shazam 4. The flash 5. Batman Vs superman ultimate edition The flash movie has a lot of hate because of Ezra miller and the bad CGI but other than that the flash is solid and an entertaining movie to watch
PuNKD Steven
We had Sharknado, the next obvious step is clearly Batnado
Shayla
I don't know why but I could swear you watched Suicide Squad..but if not...just go in order because good/best for any of them is a stretch (IMO). After this is Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, Justice League, Shazaam, Aquaman, etc..But I know it depends on votes...
N7Prime0622
I love how he never gets Jesse's name right
Shayla
...My face when you took a bite out of that orange and just...chewed..lol..
Elli Mendi
Also the DC Animated Universe movies are underrated and deserve to be watched, especially Batman: Under the Red Hood and Justice League: Doom
Elli Mendi
Top DC movies of all time? That's really hard because there's so many. I really love the OG batman 1989. The Batman (2022) is really good as well. Wonder Woman is great. Suicide Squad (2021) is underrated. And probably the og Superman
EManDidIt
Alex your intros are the best! Never change my friend🤟
Chad Higgins
Alex if you think 3 hours is long wait until you get to return of the king extended edition (it’s nearly 5 hours)
Mercy
Wonder Woman was pretty good!
Mercy
Best DCEU Movies (IMO) 1. Wonder Woman 2. Man of Steel 3. Justice League 4. BvS 5. Aquaman
Pistols O'Brien
Top 5 with best at the end: Man of Steel BvS Aquaman Wonder Woman Justice League Snyder Cut
Marquis keel
All the best DC movies are animated besides the Nolan trilogy Best animated ones: Batman under the red hood Justice league flashpoint(dcamu) Batman the killing joke Justice league apokolips war(dcamu) Batman Superman apocalypse
Pistols O'Brien
Wonder Woman and Justice League (do the Snyder Cut, theatrical is ass) are next, and honestly the best of the bunch. Aquaman is pretty good but cliche
Ian
Ultimate Edition is so much better than the theatrical release. This should probably be the last DCU movie you should do
Matthew
Let’s go Alex you fucking rule
Marquis keel
You have to watch the dcamu to see these stories done with better writing
