"Supergirl," the second offering from DC Studios, is out in the world. So, is it any good?If you listen to critics, the answer is a resounding … meh.Of course, while "Supergirl" is the second film in an all-new DC cinematic universe, it's far from one of the first movies to be based on DC Comics. That honor goes all the way back to 1966's "Batman."Over the last 60 years, there have been 56 movies based on characters introduced in the pages of DC Comics and its imprints Vertigo Comics, WildStorm, and Paradox Press.We used Rotten Tomatoes to determine how each DC film has rated with critics, from the universally panned to the beloved classics.Here's how each DC Comics film stacks up, including "Superman" and "Supergirl."

"Steel."
Warner Bros.
Rotten Tomatoes score: 4%Steel, aka John Henry Irons, is one of Superman's most famous allies — but you'd never know it from this film, which invents a new backstory for Steel (played, we'll say, woodenly, by Shaquille O'Neal), that sees him don an iron suit to get revenge on his nemesis Nathaniel Burke, played by Judd Nelson of all people."Shaq isn't much of an actor, of course, but as with his first starring effort, 'Kazaam,' he's used more for his screen 'presence.' And casting Nelson in the picture helps, since he's always pretty awful," wrote Chris Hicks for Deseret News.
