I didn't think the third one was too bad. But you're right, Batman and Robin was horrible. The only character who I thought was decent was Clooney's Bruce Wayne.
WORST superhero movie?

Add to this a script clearly written by the director's grandchild, wack-ass, brightly lit baroque sets (so completely un-Gotham), and a score that shattered my uncle's glass eye, and you have the worst superhero film ever created.

I agree with you choice there mikeython, also I really didn't like the Fantastic Four movies. The Schumacher directed Batman films were pretty bad too, it was like Gotham turned into a neon playground.

#1 My first vote would go for Elektra (yes, I saw it. I am ashamed and forever will be that this movie inhabits space in my brain.)
#2 Easily Daredevil. Affleck in tight red PVC/leather with some epically bad line delivery? Colin Farrell with a giant bullseye on his head? Yes, someone in production really thought this one out...
#3 Batman and Robin comes in a close third. It doesn't get first or second in my opinion because although it was bad, it was at least intended to be a campy dose of neon lighted crap. Were it not for that saving grace B&R would easily be #1 for me because I love the REAL Batman.
#4 Steel. What do you mean Shaq shouldn't be a superhero? Don't presume to tell Shaq what he can and cannot do...Didn't you see Shazam?
#5 Any of the Punishers.
#6 Catwoman. I haven't even seen it, but it looks terrible just based on the released screenshots...Someone back me up here.

Batman Forever, Batman and Robin, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, Superman Returns, The Hulk, Daredevil, Masters of the Universe (this one falls under the "it's so bad, it's good" category), the entire Fantastic Four franchise, G.I. Joe.
Those are the ones I can think of at the moment.

I personally didn't see any of those two. I have to say that the Hulk movie with Eric Bana in it was not good and Daredevil. Oh, Daredevil...

Being in my mid-30's, I would say that I am more into action or horror movies. However, having three kids makes me watch the superhero movies all the time. Superheroes are made to be action movies for adults it seems but in reality, they are keeping the good over bad hero alive in today's youth. The worst one? That should depend on the youth - my five year old watched Daredevil and liked it so I cannot say that it is the worst since he still watches it from time to time. I think DarkMan was not the greatest and when my kids won't even watch it says enough for me.
Talking about Batman.......I feel that Adam West and Burt Ward will ALWAYS be Batman and Robin. However, for the movies, Christian Bale did not do too bad of a job with a new rendition of Batman. Val Kilmer and George Clooney really sucked if you ask me. Michael Keaton will forever be the movies Batman with Jack Nicholson as the infamous Joker. Definitly Michelle over Halle for Catwoman too!
