We have yet to lose hope in the DC universe and what it has to offer its fans.

While Spider-Man: Brand New Day was breaking all-time cinema records in theaters, DC fans were sitting at home and wondering if something like that would even happen for their fandom. The funny thing is, the DC universe has a lot to offer; some of the best superheroes come from those comics, and we do have some great films in our repertoire, even if none of them were released in the last decade.

DC was also the winner when it came to making TV shows. Smallville has the best representation of Superman if you ask us, and The Arrow and The Flash both mastered how to bring good comic drama into live-action television. There was a solid few years there where we DC fans had plenty to watch, even if it wasn't in the movie theater.

Not anymore, though.

We can't remember the last time we got excited over a DC project, whether it was on TV or in film. Sure, there was that one Superman film last year that was directed by James Gunn, but the only thing we remember from that one is how the dog kept saving the day while Superman himself did nothing. Supergirl had a film release in June, but we don't know anyone who bothered to watch it when big films like The Odyssey were released shortly after, and the only DC universe TV show anyone is currently watching is Smallville again, since it was recently added to Netflix.

But we're not here to complain, because what we lack in enjoyable content, we make up for in humor. We don't need fancy films and high IMDb scores to enjoy the characters we love. All we need is some meme templates and self-deprecating fun to create a list of the best DC comic memes that are stronger than Superman's love of throwing random cars at villains. So while we wait for the next DC project to break Tom Holland's recent film record, we can scroll through this hilarious collection below.
