Every Live-Action R-Rated DC Movie, Ranked Worst To Best

Most of DC‘s cinematic outings have fallen into the family-friendly PG or PG-13 rating categories, but the brand has also had success with a handful of movies that earned an R. The earliest DC movies, most notably Adam West’s Batman and the Christopher Reeves-starring Superman series, were bright and colorful adventures appropriate for the whole family. Despite DC’s reputation for leaning darker than Marvel, that’s still remained somewhat true to this day, with projects like Shazam!, Green Lantern, and a bevy of animated projects delivering bright, colorful characters and stories.
