- Ranking every member of the Justice League is no easy task, but luckily we did it and it was actually pretty easy. Here we rank all the A-listers including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, Green Lantern, Cyborg plus really geting into the weeds with some B-list characters. Thanks for watching!

Someone on twitter was making fun of the old wonder woman show when Lynda Carter wore a helmet when riding a scooter. Lynda replied that while WW may be close to indestructible, she wouldn't risk being a bad role model and I just think that's neat.
What a class act Lynda Carter is. Love her in Sky High
It'd be pretty bad to have to pull over and waste time explaining to a cop that you have an indestructible head, while you're trying to rush to stop a bad guy.
Easier to wear a helmet, I reckon.
thats George Reeves levels of commitment to character and also (maybe not as on the spot as George) but an actual good canon explanation.
I miss movies like that, ngl I watched Venom 2 today. Its literally nothing like the comics even slightly and I know that's why people hate it, but Tom Hardy is a just a lot of fun and goofy shit like the "f*ck this guy" line and idk when you dont take the universe that seriously the movies feel like old pulpy shows just with updated dialogue and VFX
You're channelling your inner Andrew Cunanan @@s1ckboirari
That is unironically a reasoning that Wonder Woman would actually fall behind
I am forever obsessed with how Martian Manhunter was just some random guy in Batman V Superman and didn't just like jump in when everyone got jumped by Doomsday.
To be fair there was a lot of smoke and fire maybe he just got scared and ran away
It was kind of iconic of him.
It’s because he’s not a hot Israeli model
My favorite thing about the reveal to Batman is that Ben Affleck just couldn't muster a single solitary fuck to give.
You made it sound like doomsday brought his ski mask too 😂
I like how Mister Miracle clearly used his escape artist skills to escape being ranked.
Oh i thought that was red tornado lol
@@BbobsillypantsYeah, they look pretty similar - it's the green cape that gives it away.
@@arch1017that's a massive difference
Why was Scott here? He the boi just weird
I was waiting for Big Barda to be ranked in DD tier 😏
Atom and Atom Smasher are two different characters, I know how much James and Maso will appreciate this correction when they read it for the next video
They will thank you personally.
They said so in this video so I'm sure they extra appreciate this comment because of it.
I'll never forgive him for what he did to Rebecca
Yeah, they did Ray Palmer dirty.
Fun fact, there was going to be a spinoff movie where the Atom was a farmer. He worked with Ted Cord to grow food super big, but the lights from their lasers wound up being the same color as their suits, and it gave the crops a weird hue. So they decided to name the movie "Blue Harvest", but then they remembered that was actually the original name for Star Wars.
Mason saying the S tier stands for hope on his planet made me laugh since before that he was trying his best to make every letter represent the character in some way lol
The delivery was so casual too it got me rolling 😅got ‘em’
The Flash being sent straight to F is why i love you guys
I loved the foreshadowing that someone was going to go in the bin because there was a bin tier from the beginning
Martian Manhunter exists in this weird little underrated pocket where he's so tied to like 50's iconography and identity but in more modern comics they've made him spookier and in the cartoons he was just a solid stand up dude, i like him.
Just wish he wasn't always getting set on fire or mind fried or something
I think he’s a bit more popular. Him Flash, Green Arrow & GLs stand right below the trinity.
A little love & I think the trinity could be made a quartet.
I appreciate James’s take on Superman. He has the power to do anything, yet he can’t save everyone, but he never stops trying. That is an immense burden to bear. I’ve always found that fascinating.
I feel the evil superman gets to overhyped and we haven't had a great version of the one you describe because of it. Most aren't bad I grant it but my fingers are crossed for Superman Legacy.
@@bearman9033 Yeah, everyone's in love with the Homelanders and Omni-Mans. The "deconstruction" of superheroes, and more specifically Superman. I think the boldest thing to do is present Superman like Smallville did: being good is a choice he makes every single day.
Context about Martian Manhunter's Fire weakness; The Guardians of the Green Lantern Corp are responsible for that. They actually were terrified of the power of the martians, and forcibly added a psychological fear of fire to their entire race as a way to counter them.
That seems very rude and I think the Green Lantern Corps is just jealous of Martian Manhunter.
They should apologize to all Martians I feel.
this was definitly retconned but didn't they also like move primitive Krypton to like a red solar system so they couldn't just be a planet of super-gods
@@viktorlogibernharsson2040
Most of the Martians are dead because that fear of fire killed them since it was connected to the mental connection of all Martians, so not like they can apologize now.
@@nick_j3831
The guardians used to play god like this a little too much.
@@CamelotGaming Where was that Guardians/Martian point established? Was it in the '90s MM series?
Can we take a moment to appreciate how spot on the Zatana spell for ending world hunger was
I’m sure this will continue to age well
I used to think Superman was a bit of a boring character. Then I had a Postmodern Art class at uni, which assigned All Star Superman as a required reading. Really great comic series that proves Superman can be a great complex character without needing to go evil or whatever, would recommend.
All-Star Superman is the perfect book to give anyone that doesn't get what's great about Superman.
All Star Superman is maybe my favorite comic of all time. It's just perfect
The editor using Young Justice clips gives me hope that one day James and Maso will watch the best non-comic incarnation of the DC Universe
Nah the first 2 seasons were good but it fell off after
Young Justice is God tier
Honestly, the immediate timeskip kinda killed it for me. I was into the first incarnation of that team, and wanted to see them grow into their future selves, instead of "Season 1 is over, Season 2 starts---BAM, here's Nightwing, Tim's on the team, Jason used to be there but the one thing he's famous for has already happened, etc".
@@RepublicOfUsSeason 1 is still amazing though imo
Hate it because of how little they cared about Wally
I absolutely love it when they put a character in a tier just because their name lines up with the tier. Case in point, E for Elongated Man
I love how James and Mason decided to make the ranking based on usefulness after having already ranked Dr. Fate at C.
As a flash super fan, that was actually a smart move to junk the flash’s ranking, cause any hardcore fans would demand an S, and any casual fans would think he should be lower. This avoids all of it 🤙🏼
Yyyeah, it pains me but... you are right.
yeah I like when they just kinda ignore ranking something because they decided to on the spot. but with that said, flash the character is probably overall S tier or at least high A
@@collin.a. it all just depends on if they are going by power, general popularity, or how prolific they’ve been within comics since their inception. I think for Flash it would go S Tier, A Tier, S Tier (respectively). So overall S Tier. But to be fair and unbiased, so should Green Lantern 🤷🏻♂️
@@WesleyB-RookI think it depends on Wally or Barry. Wally might rank higher.
@@JosephWolfson Wally is my favorite superhero of all time and who I grew up with (90s kid), and is definitively the most powerful speedster, but popularity goes to Barry just cause of his post-crisis revival as the main flash in the mid/late 2000s and then of course the tv show and then movies. But I’m personally with you about ranking Wally higher when it comes to power and like-ability
This went off the rails so quickly, incredible
Let's be real. Cyborg was promoted to the Justice League purely because having him be connected to Motherboxes is a really easy way to work out a ton of Darkseid stuff.
It’s so lazy and so boring, I hate it. The best use of Victor in the last 20 years is Doom Patrol, in which his dad just fucked him over for ego rather than actually wanting to save him. Maybe tied for that is the original Teen Titans cartoon where it’s implied his dad did the same thing to him. Forcing this weird motherbox thing on him just defeats the purpose of the character.
That’s not a DCEU thing though, Cyborg was a founding JL member in the New 52.
@@logandh2it was at that point i knew the DCEU was gonna suck
Let's be real. Cyborg was promoted ot the Justice League purely because he was black and DC has gone woke along with Marvel.
If the goal of New 52 was to round out the roster without copying the animated Justice League it makes sense why they would pick someone as well known and popular as Cyborg I just don’t know why you would make him serious. I would’ve picked Mr. Terrific but maybe that has too much overlap with Batman
I still recall reading about the costume design in Man of Steel and as to why it was so... drab.
Supposedly whichever costume company Warner Bros decided to outsource the designs to during production had actually run out of several dyes due to some California wildfires damaging their stock. One of which was, you guessed it, Supermans Red and Blues. After being given a black costume, Henry Cavill threatened to walk out unless he was given something more accurate. Internally the incident was known at WB as Blue Harvest.
Oh this is a good one, well done
This was really good. I did kinda guess it at the word "blues", though. I swear this channel has conditioned me to pick the word "blue" out of any block of text and assume it means a Blue Harvest joke is coming.
Ah, I love James and Maso’s tier lists. You never know what they’re ranking, character, power level, haircut?
I like that Mr Miracle never even got mentioned
He got away Scott Free.
And Plastic Man specifically got mentioned as better than Elongated Man and wasn't included
He expertly escaped being a part of this tier list
I would love a Martian Manhunter focused movie. I've always thought he was underutilized bc he's so OP; I feel like writers often don't know what to do with him but he's so cool.
While I kind of like that Hawkman doesn't need an explanation in Black Adam, I do think it is weird that the JSA has both Hawkman and Nabu on the team, both of which could have potentially lived through Black Adam's reign of terror which would give them a reason to distrust and want to stop him...... and it's never brought up.
That was weird to me as well. They are so closely tied to Black Adam especially Fate with his previous avatars (at least 1 should have clashed with him back then).
Hawkman could have been an alien or reincarnated Egyptian. They didn't clarify so it's up in the air, I personally prefer Hawkman and Hawkgirls connection to ancient Egypt and magic over sci-fi shenanigans.
The "Rank S / on my planet it stands for hope" joke was 10/10.
The Justice League cartoon from the 2000s is the point where people started to take Aquaman seriously. Dude cut off his own hand with his belt buckle to save himself and his son from lava.
His belt... bucket??
@@ochayethenooanyone w/ at least a passing interest in supeheroes should watch all of the DCAU in its entirety
@@Mysterey101 what's a belt bucket
@@demon-goat got 'em
@@ochayethenoo Yeah. Even when DC is trying to make him cool, he's still kind of lame. But his belt buckle was a shuriken or something.
I remember the old Seanbaby articles on Super Friends and him arguing that if the Justice League was just Superman and Wonder Woman every episode would be resolved in five minutes.
I think the fun pattern of this tier list is that a lot of heroes got tiered by the first letter of their names
James and Maso gotta watch the Teen Titans series to appreciate how great Cyborg is in that
Booyah!
Wow we’re having so much fun reading all these comments back to you guys, we’re going to do this again every week!
I've listened to these guys since I was in middle school. It's nice to really be on the same journey of exhaustion as these two. The Krusty the Clowns of pop culture podcasters.
Love the unhinged energy that the Bois are bringing to this one.
Leaving a like, for Heath Ledger’s performance alone.
There's some precedent for the limits of Zatanna's abilities in the comics - in 7 Soldiers by Grant Morrison there was exploration of Zatanna over utilizing her abilities and becoming "addicted" to magic. In the 90s JLA run Zatanna did do some crazy powerful stuff with her abilities like erasing people's memories and changing groups of people's perception of reality and a bunch of other Leaguers said "hey that's actually f*cked up dont do that anymore" she became a blacksheep for a minute. And a lot of the time there's just the use of stamina where she can only do so much before needing to recharge - like Green Lantern and his stupid phone battery
I’m on my knees begging!! Please release the fifth element caravan of garbage!
I mean, I’m too old to get on my knees specifically for this reason, but yeah- this guy has a point.
Did they record it and are refusing to release it? What the fuck are you talking about?
I concur
Sir, please get up, I've brought you a doggy bag of cheddar biscuits
And Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
9:11 the instant i saw saul show up i wondered if the "lightning bolts shoot out of my fingertips" bit was going to be in here for the shazam section, and bless laurence for being a terrific editor
Wonderful use of Chekov's bin in this video.
Atom Smasher from Black Adam is actually a completely different set of characters to The Atom but I’m not that surprised nobody noticed enough to comment.
16:19 but like, as a huge fan of the character, zatanna is sometimes super week, and other times throwing planets at people like baseballs
Flawless segue into the Big Sandwich plug. I like to watch Mr. Sunday videos and I'd love to watch them early.
'Let's do a big one. Batman.'
'Never heard of him.'
Didn't miss a beat and had me rollin'
7:18 It really bothered me that a Wonder Woman movie would screw up consent so badly. That dude who got his body jacked had NO say in it, and WW made that whole thing ickier by creeping on him at the end of the movie. How did this get past everyone at Warner?
It's so weird too because there's no reason for it? Like if you just have Steve Trevor appear out of thin air the movie stays the same and consent remains in tact.
Who cares about consent? It’s a movie
This was a major theme of the movie, but that movie was really bad so I dont blame you for missing it. Wishing him back was a monkey's paw and WW had to learn to let go in order to stick to her moral code.
@Luminousreign except her monkey's paw consequence was losing her powers, so she only gave Steve up in order to save the world, not at all to do with the guy whose life she stole.
@@WingerEdison The guy is just some random dude, he isnt important. Thematically maintaining her moral code and not taking the easy route is tied to her powers, so thematically when she loses sight of her moral code and hijacks the man's body with her wish, she loses her powers. So yeah, they never forcus on the guy but it is clearly intended to be seen as wrong. The emphasis is just placed on WW and her waivering conviction to do the right thing.
My goodness the suspense of having to wait after saying the Atom was smashing stuff in the movie to see if they'd remember its Atom Smasher was intense
Also Rebirth Green Arrow? Good move
After downplaying the most mid-character for a solid minute: A-tier. Great work as always, lads
I'd say the best live action outing for cyborg would be Doom Patrol. I would love to see a tier list and review of the show from you guys.
I've never read that JSA arc with the Shazam + Stargirl romance plot but I've heard from people who have read it that it actually carries more nuance than you'd expect - apparently they hit it off when Shazam is just himself as Billy Batson and then Stargirl learns that they're teammates, they want to be together but don't think it will work and it's a moment for Billy to grow as a person by seeing everybody else's POV
sorry if im misremembering this
Not me thinking that not even mentioning BATMAN: BRAVE AND THE BOLD Aquaman was OUTRAGEOUS!
I’m really enjoying the last few videos. Love the content
I love the S means hope line lmfao
This list was outrageous! Never change.
Aquaman is so cool with his impenetrable skin & tattoos
He gets those painted on everydsy… underwater
BRANDON ROUTH WAS THE ATOM! HE WAS ON TV FOR 8 years ☺️☺️
Why did they remove Dr Fate's helmet eye holes in that movie? The costume was nearly perfect.
Might just be me but I thought it looked dope without them. Best costume design from that movie imo.
Tbf, it having eye holes never really made sense.
I really prefer it without the holes
Adding my voice to the "looks better without eye holes" crowd. At least in live action. It's kinda like how the Bat Family's masks never look right in live action; it's just really tough to translate without looking kinda goofy.
I agree with the other responses as well - it really emphasizes the fact that the helmet _is_ Dr. Fate's face
One day, I hope to become good friends with a guy who ends up becoming a Hollywood director so he can arbitrarily put me in all of his movies like Nathan Fillion or Sean Gunn
I was genuinely waiting all video for them to rate mister miracle, my disappointment is immeasurable.
Me too!!!
Me three!
Thanks "Mr Sunday Movies" Team for all of the awesome uploads of 2023! I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas (its quite fitting that the first video I watched from this channel was also DC related "The Cancelled BATMAN VS SUPERMAN Animated" and i've been hooked ever since! thanks for 7 years of awesomeness and heres to your successes in 2024
It is an impressive skill to go off the rails immediately after the first one. Then to change the criteria 7 times. 😂
Also, Good God Mason was SCARILY FAST with that S:Hope joke. Holy shit. If you didn't know him, you'd say it was scripted and planned weeks before.
I loved it when James said "It's rankin' time" and then ranked all over The Justice League
We need more superheroes that exude intense childlike glee when set on fire.
Aquaman giving someone a stroke is extremely hilarious
Green Arrow making it to A-Tier makes me so happy. He deserves it.
I need a video with a real title but it’s really just Mr Sunday going into an existential crisis. It’s been a while
They definitely haven’t seen Young Justice, because Dr. Fate would be a LOT higher because he’s one of the most interesting parts of that show
Lovely to see all the Young Justice footage/representation
Excited for next week’s 10hrs long video of James reading all the comments. Especially this one! Because this is the best comment.
as a certified flash-fan (the character, not the movie), i do think giving flash an F out of spite is incredibly hilarious
I can’t believe they only gave Mason a “B” he’s clearly an “A” tier supe, he’s the only member of the justice league we don’t know the secret identity of that has to make him a minimum A tier
DCAU Hawkgirl is the best character ever. Her romance with Green Lantern works because of her. Her Soloman Grundy stuff is amazing,her relationship with Wonder Woman ...That track suit..
Give the editor of this episode a rise, they have achieved perfection. (Or polished a turd if you are that one guy who hates Mr. Sunday Movies)
S rating for Lynda Carter, totally justified!😁
Funny stuff gentlemen. Thank you for another year of comedy.
I laughed harder than I needed to at “Go back to the Teen Titans… grown man.”
Also justice for Flash
Shockingly non-definitive rankings, boyz. 🍻😎
The only podcast that reminds me to do my banking
19:00 Obviously the S stands for "Sunday Movies, Mr."
8:51 , I think when James said "C with Dr Fate" he meant Hawkman and Hawkgirl should go into C WITH Dr Fate. James would NEVER make an error in speech like was presumed by Ben who I assume was editing the video.
I'm with you there. Justice for James.
Also, it's 100% the helmet. I don't care about the people without the helmet
Came looking for this comment! 😂
Left a Like for the memory of Aquaman getting axed from my Justice League game design back in 2007 because WB had no faith in him being a compelling character for a video game because their polled focus group ranked him F Tier; at the time.
Can't believe you guys put Batman in B-
-lue Harvest joke
I read Superman Year One, this year. Superman is S tier. That book was awesome.
Thanks for reminding me to do my banking i dont need to do any banking but thanks for the reminder. Im also excited for tax season
I love how they just did a 20 minute video ranking the Justice League on a tier list with no basis for their rankings whatsoever.
Cyborg in Doom Patrol was great. But no one talks about Doom Patrol :(
Great video
Wooo new upload
Wonderful, all of it. But you really missed a “you should probably move” clip from cyborg.
“Speaking of doing something quickly.”
“Lady I don’t know you.”
The nerve of putting my glorious king the Flash in F. You will never hear the end of this.
IMO, the way, I think they should’ve started the DCEU would have been better if they started with Green Arrow. So in the later films, they can build him up in weapon artillery. I think that was the plan at a certain point. Then Batman or Superman, basically what Marvel did by having something grounded first. To get the view were excited about the fantastical elements for the future films. Thors hammer at the end of Iron Man 2 is a great example. Or just having Captain America shield in the background of Iron Man was cool. It also made sense in universe.
You did Ray Palmer Atom dirty
Martian manhunters “weakness” to fire is psychological due to his planets death
Ted and Jaime (Blue Beetle) 2 totally dif characters lol
Hal for sure got hoodwinked at the store when signing up for his ring payment plan.
Blue beetle booster gold and black canary should be now be a teamup called blue harvest
I thought you were joking about giving Flash an 'F', but you ACTUALLY went there! Unreal 😂
pretty sure Atom Smasher is entirely unrelated to the Atom
Flash and Constantine in f-tier… it’s as if this was made to hurt me
This is Brandon Routh's delightful Ray Palmer from Legends of Tomorrow erasure and i won't stand for it.
S is for the photoshopped "S" in Henry Cavill's hair in the thumbnail. That photoshopped S has very admirably perseverated across all media involving Henry Cavill.
In the JLA comic series, when looking at new members, Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman mention Elongated Man, and one of them - I think Batman - says Plastic Man has more versatility.
I actually went to the bank earlier today but I couldn’t get done what I needed to do because they told me I have to make an appointment through their app instead of helping me schedule an appointment right then and there.
Thanks again
8:51 I believe James meant they go in the same category as doctor fate (who is is C) when he said “C with Doctor Fate?”, not that he accidentally said doctor fate instead of the hawk people
Initially was gonna yell blasphemy for making flash an F...but you mention Ezra Miller dam, point to you gentlemen!
Detective Comics needs more detectives.
