Steel

Where to start with this one? It’s a prime example of how DC are often clueless when it comes to movie-making because, quite frankly, everything about this particular offering was both wrong and totally unnecessary in the first place.

Making a movie about a little-known DC character in 1997 was risky enough – Steel really isn’t that popular, even among comic book fans – but casting basketball star Shaquille O’Neal as the character was simply stupid and it backfired massively.

It was an awful movie with nothing going for it and generated no interest. It never gets going and, before the end, bores audiences to death. It really makes you worry for movies such as 2020’s Cyborg in the DC Extended Universe.
