We’re talking about the moments that make you believe a man can fly.

Here are the 32 greatest DC Comics movie moments.

Gal Gadot in Wonder Woman

Now, keep in mind that not every DC flick has a scene on this list.

In fact, most of them don’t make the cut at all.

It only makes sense thatgoodmovies would be the ones that, for the most part, feature good scenes.

Ezra Miller in Justice League

Don’t worry, though, we’ve captured thebest DC movieshere.

(Yes, we’re talking about The Dark Knight.)

Between all the ice puns Mr. Joker Dances Down the Steps (Joker)

Todd Phillips' Joker was as acclaimed as it was controversial.

A still from Aquaman

Knightmare (Zack Snyder’s Justice League)

A tantalizing “what if?”

Still, pretty cool.

Harley Quinn’s Introduction

The 2016 Suicide Squad is not a great movie.

Batman’s credit card in Batman & Robin

(Though it did win an Oscar never forget!)

Everybody Gets a Movie (Teen Titans Go!

Perhaps the most memorable scene comes when Batman and Catwoman have a confrontation under the mistletoe.

Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill in Batman v Superman

(Oh, right; this is a Christmas movie, too.)

and there’s no worry or suspense.

He’s a superhero.

Joaquin Phoenix in Joker

He’ll be fine.

It’s thrilling and daffy, not unlike Harley herself.

When Zod corrects the president (E.G.

Ben Affleck in Zack Snyder’s Justice League

Marshall) after he exclaims, “Oh god.”

It’s Zod, actually.

“Is It Meaningless to Apologize?”

Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad

Before she goes, the clearly pennant doctor asks if it’s “meaningless to apologize?”

It’s a small, beautiful moment that shows just how complex V is.

They were a disposable decoy, and now therealteam can get started.

Later films would have flashier, more elaborate flights, but that’s irrelevant.

What matters is that we did indeed believe.

Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman in Batman Returns

The Joker’s Interrogation (The Dark Knight)

Not all the best superhero vs. supervillain battles are physical.

The subsequent chase is a highlight of the film, too.

Billy Meets His Birth Mom (Shazam!)

Robert Pattinson in The Batman

The big, cathartic “everything is alright again” moment he’s been hoping for doesn’t happen.

The real answer, The Dark Knight suggests, is that they both are, to some extent.

He rants and tells them off, and his guests buy it.

Margot Robbie and the cast of Birds of Prey

One even stops to offer a cutting remark, quipping that the apple fell far from the tree.

Of course, that’s not the case at all.

The “real” Bruce Wayne has dedicated everything to his parents and to making Gotham a better place.

Zod in Superman II

), and that familiarity sometimes obscures how fundamentally sad Batman is as a figure.

He’s a traumatized child who dedicates his life to avenging his parents' deaths and making Gotham safe.

He’s…happy.

Russell Crowe in Man of Steel

In the movie’s standout scene, he begs for their forgiveness at their grave in the pouring rain.

Here, you understand the true cost of Batman’s caped crusade.

cards) are unfairly maligned for being corny.

Jason Momoa as Aquaman in Aquaman

It’s the platonic ideal of superheroism: He’s trying to save the day.

“Some days you just can’t get rid of a bomb,” he quips.

This scene is the one that perfectly captures his icon status, and it’s incredible.
