The DC Comics multiverse is expansive and epic, with more than just Batman and Superman to represent the bravest and boldest heroes ever imagined. But with so many DC characters having leapt to TV and movies, it begs the question: Who are the greatest DC characters in movies and TV?
Beginning with the 1951 movie Superman and the Mole Men, DC Comics has been a regular fixture in Hollywood with many movies and television shows based on its comics. In 1966, the TV series Batman, famously starring Adam West, left a permanent imprint over pop culture, being a true camp classic which laid the foundations for not just future Batman movies but all superhero media to come. When the movie studio Warner Bros. acquired the comic book publisher in 1969, it quickly led to DC becoming an even bigger brand and a wellspring for WB to leverage against its competitors in Hollywood.
