Superhero films aren't always the commercial hits studios want them to be, especially when it comes to the DC Universe. While there have been some amazing adaptations of DC Comics for film, nearly just as many films under the company's banner have bombed at the box office. Some of these failures are incredibly deserving, but within DC's least-commercially viable films rest some truly amazing uses of superhero narratives.
9 Catwoman $40 million As far as DC movie flops go, Catwoman is far from the worst offender, nearly managing to make back its 100 million dollar budget through international ticket sales. Critically, the Halle Berry star vehicle fared even worse, unfortunately, quickly going down in infamy as one of the worst superhero movies ever made. Upon revisiting the film, it's easy to see why it struggled to find purchase in the box office.
7 Supergirl $14 million Set within the same universe as Christopher Reeve's Superman movies, the seldom-remembered 1984 spin-off Supergirl has a box office haul that reflects its nonexistent pop culture impact. Ushering in a mere 14 million dollars, Supergirl was far from the pop culture sensation implied by its lofty predecessor. This failure is largely deserved considering what few audiences who did get out of bed for Supergirl were treated with.
5 Shazam! Fury Of The Gods $134 million The first Shazam! was a charming, fun, magical superhero story starring Zachary Levi accurately portraying the mind of a 14-year-old boy. Because of the lukewarm acclaim the film was able to muster, it's not altogether a huge surprise that the follow-up feature wasn't a massive hit, barely edging over its 125 million dollar budget to likely not recoup advertising costs.
