Man of Steel, DC's first official go at a shared cinematic universe, kicked off with a mixed reception, which it then held most of its lifetime. The franchise's divisiveness with critics and tepid reaction from audiences is truly a disappointment, given the amount of talent the DCEU recruited to bring their shared universe to life.
What truly sucks is that, given an actually decent script, Smith could have truly excelled as Deadshot, and, by the sounds of it, the David Ayer cut of Suicide Squad had Deadshot doing much more. Smith's performance in Suicide Squad isn't terrible, either. When he's given the chance, he has some great moments that give audiences a look at what could have been.
Katana is actually a really cool character in the DC canon, and Fukuhara was genuinely the perfect cast. What ruins things is the fact that she got stuck in an awful film like Suicide Squad. Thankfully, she got to come in and really prove herself in The Boys, as Kimiko is similar to Katana in some ways. James Gunn, there's still a chance to bring Fukuhara back into the fold with the announcement that The Boys will be ending in Season 5...
Clark Kent is just as important as Superman, and his supporting cast helps sell that idea. Characters like Perry White, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen ground Superman to the people of Earth, which is what helps the DC titan feel less like a god and more like a man. An actor like Fishburne could have brought a plethora of complexity to Clark's life professional life in Man of Steel and especially Batman v. Superman. Unfortunately, he was not utilized as such.
4 Sasha Calle as Supergirl 'The Flash' It's no secret that 2023's The Flash was an abhorrent film with very little to enjoy about it. But there are a few shining lights of hope that help carry it to the finish line, including Sasha Calle as Supergirl. Despite receiving very little to do, she absolutely killed the role and was one of the few engaging characters in the story for the limited time she was given.
Alas, things were never meant to work out for this divisive take on the Last Son of Krypton. Warner Bros. never knew what to do with him, especially after the Justice League debacle. The studio brought him back for an underwhelming cameo in the even more underwhelming Black Adam, only to take the role from him for Gunn's new DCU. David Corenswet is going to kill it as Superman, but to see Cavill get treated so poorly has fans still campaigning for his comeback.
