This Is How Long It Takes to Watch Every Movie in the DCEU.
The pop culture icon that is DC comics has expanded into many film and television series over the years. While it may not reach the same heights (or lengths) as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the DCEU has continued to build a shared universe of cinematic characters. If you’re looking to get into a DC binge you might be wondering how long it’s going to take you.
The good news is that it won’t take anywhere near as long to watch the entirety of the DCEU as it does the MCU.
We’ve done the math for you below by calculating all the runtimes of the movies in the DCEU in release order, as per IMDB.
DCEU Movies runtimes:
Man of Steel – 143 minutes
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice – 152 minutes
Suicide Squad – 123 minutes
Wonder Woman – 141 minutes
Justice League – 120 minutes
Aquaman – 143 minutes
Shazam! – 132 minutes
Birds of Prey – 109 minutes
Wonder Woman 1984 – 151 minutes
Zack Snyder’s Justice League – 242 minutes
The Suicide Squad – 132 minutes
DCEU Television runtimes
Peacemaker (8 episodes) – 343 minutes
By my calculations, adding that all up equals 1931 minutes. That’s roughly 32 hours of DC movies and series you need to watch in order to experience the entire extended universe so far.
Fun facts, Zack Snyder’s Justice League is the longest DC project (by far) at over 4 hours and Birds of Prey is the shortest at just shy of 2 hours.
Despite all the recent cancellations, this isn’t the end of the DCEU with Black Adam and Shazam!: Fury of the Gods both up next on the slate.
While the titles above are the only ones officially considered to be part of the DCEU, they are definitely not the only ones featuring DC characters from over the years.
If you want to watch some of the DC titles that sit outside of the extended universe, here are some runtimes to consider:
Batman films:
Batman – 126 minutes
Batman Returns – 126 minutes
Batman Forever – 121 minutes
Batman & Robin – 125 minutes
Catwoman – 104 minutes
Batman Begins – 140 minutes
The Dark Knight – 152 minutes
The Dark Knight Rises – 164 minutes
Joker – 122 minutes
The Batman – 176 minutes
The combined runtime of all the DC Batman films released so far comes to 1,356 minutes (around 22 hours). If you’re looking for the correct order to watch them in you’ll find that here.
Superman films:
Superman – 143 minutes
Superman II – 127 minutes
Superman III – 125 minutes
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace – 90 minutes
Superman Returns – 154 minutes
Superman has had fewer movies than his pal Batman, so the runtime of all his films comes to 639 minutes or 10.5 hours.
For the confines of this list (and our sanity), we haven’t calculated all the runtimes of the animated DC films or the Arrowverse series. Maybe we’ll be brave enough one day.
In the meantime, there are plenty of other DC projects to look forward to so get binging!
