Summary
  • The Joker's backstory in Todd Phillips' Joker gives him a compelling origin as a tormented individual driven to become the villain after a lifetime of hardship.

DC movies have changed many villains' backstories and often even improved upon them compared to the source material. DC as a brand may be known for characters like Batman and Superman, but the heroes are only as good as their villainous counterparts. The pages of DC Comics are filled with well-written and developed antagonists, but sometimes the transition to the big screen necessitates change.
While some DC movies have largely stayed true to the origin stories of their villains, others have made significant changes to the backstories and motivations of their antagonists. Naturally, some degree of changes and tweaks are needed in any comic book adaptation, and frequently, the sometimes controversial changes made to DC movie villains have often given new, interesting, and sometimes even better backstories than their comic book origins. Here are 10 DC movie villains whose backstories have been changed in beneficial ways in DC movies.
