The 6 Best DC Movie Opening Shots, Ranked
The article ranks the opening shots of six DC films, arguing that a strong opening can quickly establish a superhero story’s tone and draw viewers in. It highlights scenes that use suspense, striking imagery or an unexpected starting point rather than relying only on spectacle.
Examples include *The Batman*, which opens from the Riddler’s perspective as he stalks Gotham’s mayor, and *Watchmen*, whose stylised murder sequence sets up the film’s central mystery. *Superman* begins with on-screen timeline notes and the hero crash-landing after losing his first fight; the supplied article text ends partway through another unrelated passage, so it does not provide the full ranking or all six entries.
In short
- The piece ranks six DC films by their opening shots.
- *The Batman* uses the Riddler’s perspective to establish a dark tone.
- *Superman* opens after its hero has already lost a fight.
