Every DC Comics Theatrical Movie, Ranked From Worst To Best

At times, Returns is frustrating in Bryan Singer’s unwillingness to push the character past its late 70s roots, but the film works overall for being so obviously different from the superhero films of the mid-2000s, and even the ones today. It took some interesting talent to ground Superman in such an old-fashioned atmosphere without any irony, even if it was just a bit too familiar.
