* ''Series/{{Peacemaker}}'': Detectives Sophie Song and Larry Fitzgibbon became instant fan-favorites thanks to their lovable personalities, with Song's snarkiness and Fitgibbon's dirtiness making them very endearing. [[spoiler:Fans were heartbroken when they were possessed by Butterflies and subsequently had to be put down by the team.]]

** Weasel wound up being fairly popular, with many fans loving how his design was both simultaneously terrifying and oddly cute. His totally clueless portrayal was seen as a comedic highlight and [[spoiler:the reveal that he survived drowning was regarded as a pleasant surprise.]] The fact that [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Sean Gunn plays another anthropomorphic CGI comic book animal]] was deemed a humorous plus as well.

* ''Film/SuicideSquad2016''
** Creator/JimParrack made an impression on some people as [[NumberTwo Mr. Frost]] for his status as the {{Foil}} to the Joker and having AdaptationalBadass. [[spoiler: Of course, [[WeHardlyKnewYe he doesn't last long]].]]
** Slipknot appeared on screen for less than five minutes [[spoiler:and died in his second scene]] with no characterization within the movie itself. Despite (or more likely ''because of'') this, he's become a MemeticBadass by the fandom.
** Despite having practically no impact on the story and little character to speak of, Killer Croc has his fans simply due to his spectacular makeup design, which is widely regarded as the why this film won that Oscar.



** Creator/MichaelMcElhatton‘s character and his gang of terrorists have a large fanbase. Many viewers were actually dissapointed he wasn’t the BigBad.

* ''Film/WonderWoman1984''
** The nameless "handsome man" for being good looking as well as a nice guy with many viewers agreeing that he didn't deserve anything he went through. This is especially interesting as his role in the plot is actually the film's most controversial element, but he's generated a far greater level of sympathy than any other character in the movie.
** The homeless man as well for being one of the few people who was kind to Barbara.

** TDK was well liked for being the center of one of the funniest and strangest scenes in a film that already has quite a lot of funny and strange scenes. The sheer pride he exudes in [[JokeCharacter his utterly lame power]] has been noted as weirdly endearing. Also helps that he's played by Creator/NathanFillion.

The Russian Family is not very well-liked by fans after it was revealed that Synder did not create these characters.


** The Russian family became unexpectedly popular. The daughter is especially popular, [[http://www.kansascity.com/entertainment/movies-news-reviews/article184976913.html with critics]] [[https://movietime.guru/justice-league-when-everybodys-special-nobody-s-special-94e054cbde15 and reviews]] [[http://www.syfy.com/syfywire/chosen-one-of-the-day-the-little-girl-in-justice-league-who-was-ready-to-take-on-the stating they found her more heroic and interesting]] then the main heroes, becoming something of a MemeticBadass. Keep in mind three out of four of the family members are not even named. [[http://comicbook.com/dc/2017/11/26/justice-league-russian-kids-wonder-twins/ Fans even tend to throw around theroies that the two children are the Wonder Twins]] or that the daughter will become Terra or Supergirl.

** Gal Gadot’s debut as Wonder Woman was greeted with near universal positivity.
** For a costume example, Batman's "Knightmare" outfit even by non-DCEU fans, thanks to how badass it looks, and it's quickly become one of the character's most iconic looks of recent years, with tons of merchandise and even being referenced in the comics.

* ''Film/WonderWoman'': Sameer, Charlie and the Chief, Steve's MultinationalTeam. Despite being {{Canon Foreigner}}s who just appear to be evoking the Howling Commandos in ''Captain America: The First Avenger'', the characters surprisingly tie into the movie's [[WarIsHell wider]] [[HumansAreFlawed themes]] well (Sameer can slip into disguises so well because he was an actor before getting drafted; Charlie is strongly implied to be suffering from PTSD; the Chief is a Native American working as a smuggler for both sides because, as he puts it, he lost his lands to "[Steve's] people") and the actors' performances make them quite endearing.

* ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice'':
** Creator/JeremyIrons' portrayal of Alfred was one of the few things everyone seems to like about the movie. The main reason was because he provides humour through snarky comments, as well as being very intelligent, and even being directly involved by helping build/maintain things for Batman. It also helps he's the OnlySaneMan who [[LampshadeHanging points out how foolish it is]] for Batman and Superman to even fight each other.
** Creator/LaurenceFishburne as Perry White has also garnered some fan appreciation, mostly due to his over-the-top, take no bullshit attitude.
** Jenet Klyburn from the Ultimate Edition cut, whose appearance was greatly anticipated since the role was revealed and who helped explain a few of the more complicated plot details. Being played by the queen of {{Ensemble Darkhorse}}s Creator/JenaMalone helps too.
** Gal Gadot’s debut as Wonder Woman was greeted with near universal positivity.

* ''Film/ManOfSteel'':
** Faora has received a surprisingly large amount of positive fan attention considering her status as a tertiary character who has few lines or screen time. However, she offers one of the best fight scenes in the movie and is arguably more of a badass than either Superman or Zod, leaving everyone raving over her. Which is a great stroke of luck for her actress, [[http://herocomplex.latimes.com/movies/man-of-steel-flew-in-just-in-time-for-antje-traue/#/0 considering she was considering quitting acting]].
** Colonel Hardy for having the biggest balls to start a knife fight with Faora despite being severely outmatched. He even quips a PreMortemOneLiner [[spoiler:before doing a suicide run into Zod's ship, sending her and himself into the Phantom Zone.]]
