Every DC Villain In Multiple Movies (& Which Version Was Best)

The early 2000s saw a big effort to revitalize DC Comics on film with the creation of the DC Extended Universe. The idea was to create a connected series of stories featuring iconic heroes and villains, finally giving characters like Wonder Woman and Aquaman leading roles. Unfortunately, the DCEU faced criticism for its inconsistent style, creative problems, and interference from studio executives, ultimately leading to its end. Now, a new DC Universe is being built with new leadership, aiming for a more unified and well-received approach to these characters. Despite this fresh start, looking at which villains appear most often in DC movies shows a clear trend: the enemies of Batman and Superman remain the most popular choices for the big screen.

Darkseid VS Thanos – Who is the Greater Villain and Would Win in a Fight?

Darkseid and Thanos have very different backgrounds and abilities. Darkseid is a New God, one of a race of incredibly powerful beings, and embodies pure evil. His power comes from the Omega Effect, a limitless source of destruction. Thanos, on the other hand, is originally from the planet Titan and is an Eternal – a superpowered human – but he was born looking like the Deviants, their monstrous cousins. Driven by his obsession with Lady Death, Thanos wants to eliminate half of all life in the universe to impress her. To achieve this, he collects incredibly powerful items, most famously the Infinity Gauntlet, which essentially makes him all-powerful.
