DC tier list questions
How do you make a DC tier list?
Shortlist's free DC tier list maker shows you two DC films at a time and asks which one you prefer. After at most 25 taps it returns those 10 films in your own order, best to worst. There is no grid to drag, no buckets to fill and no star ratings to set, and it runs in a browser with no signup.
Is this DC tier list maker free?
Yes. Ranking the 10 DC films in it costs nothing, needs no account and no email address. Shortlist also publishes the finished order as a shareable image, and the Shortlist iPhone and Android apps are free as well.
Why compare two films at a time instead of dragging them into tiers?
A tier grid asks you to judge a film against an abstract standard, which is why the same film often lands in a different bucket depending on the order you place them. A head-to-head comparison only ever asks which of two named films you prefer, a question people answer consistently. Shortlist uses binary insertion, so each answer narrows where a film belongs and no question repeats one your earlier answers already settled.
How many DC films are in this ranker?
