Before the DCEU undergoes a major reset, it's time to look back at what once was and determine which actors made the most big screen appearances.

Big changes are coming for the DCEU starting later this year. The release of Creature Commandos will mark a new beginning for the interconnected universe of movies, series, and video games featuring everybody's favorite heroes and villains. This reboot will come under James Gunn's direction and will mark a new era for DC that hopes to gather more critical and commercial success than its last.

But before that day comes, we need to start bidding our farewells. And what better way to do it than celebrating the faces that accompanied us the most through this journey so far? So with that in mind, here are the five actors with the most appearances in DCEU movies! (and the list of projects they were a part of).

5. Ben Affleck as Batman

When you think about DC, chances are you immediately think about Superman, Wonder Woman, or, of course, the Dark Knight himself. So it's only fitting that we kick things off with Ben Affleck's Batman.

When it was first reported that Ben Affleck would be the man behind Batman's mask, people were less than optimistic, to say the least. However, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice premiered and proved why the American actor was the perfect fit for the role. His version of Bruce Wayne was older than what audiences had seen before on the big screen and also a lot more violent as well (even going as far as killing people). Not only did that make for a different take on the iconic hero, but one that fans were optimistic about too.

Unfortunately, out of all the members of the Justice League (aside from Cyborg), Batman is the hero who has the least appearances in the DCEU with a total of 5 projects. Besides, unlike most other characters we'll discuss on this list, he had no surprise cameos in any TV series. The DCEU movies in which Ben Affleck's Cape Crusader has appeared (including cameos) are:

  1. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
  2. Suicide Squad (2016)
  3. Justice League (2017)
  4. Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
  5. The Flash (2023)
