DC Movies and TV Shows

Last updated: October 19, 2026

Inspired by the classic comic books, the world of DC features some of kids' favorite superheroes—including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and more. Sometimes they work solo, other times they team up to fight against evil. And while some versions of these characters get quite dark, others are great superhero starters for young kids. Use this list as a guide to get in on the action. For more fun comic-based picks, try our Best Superhero Movies and Marvel Cinematic Universe lists.
