Villains have been vanquished in memorable ways in DC movies, but the best DC movie villain defeat still hasn't gotten its deserved recognition.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The coolest DC movie villain defeat—which is from Zack Snyder's Justice League—still has not gotten the praise it deserves. In the long history of DC movies, villain defeats have often been one of their most memorable elements, whether it's Batman's defeat of his enemies in The Dark Knight trilogy or Superman's still controversial killing of General Zod in Man of Steel.
The history of Zack Snyder's Justice League has made it a unique example of superhero cinema, and one of the film's most praised elements is the massive upgrade of Steppenwolf . Widely criticized as a weak and unmemorable antagonist in the 2017 theatrical cut of Justice League, Steppenwolf returned as a far more fearsome Apokoliptian villain with a tragic backstory in the Snyder Cut.
Just as Steppenwolf prepares to launch another attack, Aquaman impales him from behind with his trident, while Superman flies in to punch him back towards the portal. Wonder Woman then rebounds off a wall to chop Steppenwolf's head off as he is sent through the portal, with his head bouncing right under Darkseid's foot.
Why Not Enough People Praise The Justice League's Victory While Steppenwolf has been praised as one of the Snyder Cut's many redeemed characters following a poor showing in the theatrical cut, the praise for his defeat has not been quite as voluminous as other elements of the movie, and that might have to do with the fact that it involves Steppenwolf dying.
Snyder has generally delivered some of the most intense superhero movie battles ever put to screen, where heroes and villains alike endure harsh punishment and even death. Meanwhile, the discomfort with superhero movie villains being killed even in wholly justified circumstances could explain why Steppenwolf's death has not been quite as praised as the rest of the film.
