The 10 Greatest Villains From DC Movies

2016 hadn’t been a particularly great year for villains in superhero movies, what with all the hero v hero action going on – at least, until Suicide Squad arrived and starred a team of bad guys forced into becoming heroes. Noting exceptions like Doctor Octopus and Loki, DC have generally produced stronger supervillains than Marvel, so it made a lot of sense that they would be the ones to make the first fully-fledged supervillain movie.

10) Lex Luthor – Kevin Spacey, Superman Returns

Recommended Videos

With its dreary plot and over-reliance on callbacks to the Christopher Reeve movies, 2006’s Superman Returns was not the revitalization of the Man of Steel that DC were looking for. One thing that did work, however, was Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor. Unlike the more recent appointment of Jesse Eisenberg in Batman V Superman, Spacey was a natural choice for the role.

Though Gene Hackman gave the more iconic performance, Spacey was a fitting replacement and was able to strike a similar balance between ham and menace. Closer to the comics, this Luthor was hellbent on defeating Superman as a means of proving his intellectual prowess. That said, he still shared Hackman’s love of nonsensical schemes to take over the world with real estate.
