It takes an exceptional person to become a superhero, but which DCEU superheroes would or would not make a wonderful Naruto Hokage?

If there’s one thing that’s true about comic book heroes, it’s that they try to do the most good for the most people. Their own values and self-imposed codes might conflict, but at their core, they are people who want to do the right thing. This is also true of the comic book heroes that make it to the big screen in adaptations like the DC Extended Universe.

While all of the heroes might be willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good or help those in tight spots, they aren’t all great leaders. Some of them work best as a team, and others are better in advisory positions. That’s why not everyone in the DCEU would fit the role of Hokage in the Naruto universe. The leader of the Village Hidden in the Leaves has to be someone the village can trust to have their best interests in mind, but it also has to be someone who can still throw down in a fight, inspire loyalty, and play nice with other political leaders.

10 Great Hokage: Aquaman

Aquaman grows up with one foot on land and one foot in the water. He knows about his Atlantean heritage but isn’t truly exposed to it until he’s an adult. Aquaman isn’t someone who wants to lead. He just wants to do what he thinks is right, like bringing a bunch of fish to a struggling fishing village on the high tide.

Despite not wanting the job, his move away from formalities and his desire to help make him a breath of fresh air for his people. The same would be true in the shinobi world. There are plenty of village leaders who didn’t want the position, like Lady Tsunade and Kakashi Hatake, but they took on the role until an agreed-upon replacement could be found. Aquaman would understand that there would be someone more suited to the role to come after him, and would do everything he could to keep things running smoothly in the meantime.

9 Not Great: The Flash

In full defense of the Flash, he’s still a very young hero compared to the other characters. He doesn’t have the same experience, though he has a huge power, which is best showcased in the Snyder Cut of The Justice League. Some of his cut scenes from the theatrical release demonstrate how adept with his powers he is, but how inexperienced he is at interacting with other heroes.

It’s entirely possible that he could grow into someone who could be a political leader. At this point in the DCEU, however, he would certainly need help making the difficult decisions and dealing with Kages from other villages.

8 Great Hokage: Mera

In Aquaman, Mera has the title of Princess, but the audience doesn’t often see her in a regal setting. So much of the movie is spent on Mera and Arthur trying to find a way to save their people from Orm’s misguided rule, making the audience wonder if she’ll become a full-fledged team member in the next Justice League installment.

That’s why Mera would make a good Hokage. She keeps up appearances with Orm, but she also goes around him to do what’s best for Atlantis. Mera understands that it might make her look like the bad guy to her people, and she’s okay with that as long as she can save everyone.

7 Not Great: Batman

Batman is a great team leader for the Justice League. His resources give him access to the kind of technology and resources that the other heroes don’t have. That’s not enough to make him a great Hokage.

While the comic book version of Batman is thought of as one of the world’s best detectives, the movie version of the character is someone who quickly jumps to conclusions and doesn’t entirely think things through. Going after Superman in Batman v Superman is a prime example of his rush to judgment, which isn’t something a Hokage can afford to do.

6 Great Hokage: Cyborg

Cyborg and Flash shouldn’t be very far apart in age, but they do some like they’re at very different points in their lives when it comes to maturity. Perhaps that’s why it seems like Cyborg would be able to take on the role of Hokage pretty well.

Cyborg is someone who cares about everyone – even the people the rest of the heroes might overlook. He understands that while the world watches the heroes, other people suffer. A lot of his story is cut from the theatrical version of the movie, but The Snyder Cut of Justice League makes it clear he has the heart of a Hokage.

5 Not Great: Harley Quinn

Harley Quinn might be a fan favorite and one of the most interesting characters in the DCEU, but she’s definitely not Hokage material. She might have a soft spot for hyenas and kids on the run from criminals in Birds Of Prey, but she doesn’t have soft spots for too many others.

She’s just as likely to save a village as she is to burn it to the ground. Harley could be a great strategist, but she usually allows her impulses to guide her, and that could get her into serious trouble.

4 Great Hokage: Alfred

Alfred is one of the few characters here who isn’t actually a superhero. He’s a butler, but he’s also much more than that. While the audience doesn’t get to see a ton of the history of Bruce Wayne, Alfred’s role as Bruce’s right hand – and one of the few people to know his identity as Batman – is well known.

Alfred is a keeper of secrets. He sees costumed heroes come and go, knows who they all are, and never breathes a word. Alfred helps Bruce Wayne with his secrets, but also with his daily life as a millionaire and business owner. He would have no problem navigating the complicated political landscape of the Kage system and keep the village safe.

3 Not Great: Lois Lane

Lois Lane is a great reporter, but she’s vastly underused in the DCEU. While the audience knows her history with Superman, they don’t really get a great feel for what she’s capable of (this version of her anyway).

Her role is definitely relegated to someone who provides an emotional center for one of the heroes – Superman. She could be indispensable when it comes to investigative work and advice, but this version of Lois Lane wouldn’t be a great fit for Hokage.

2 Great Hokage: Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman when first being introduced to the world of men would have a hard time in a position as Hokage. She just doesn’t understand humans – yet. As she grows to understand the good and bad of humanity, she also grows into a champion of the people, even if they don’t know she exists.

Wonder Woman is someone who wants to do the most good for the most people. That might mean making great personal sacrifices herself, battling people she considers friends, or even being willing to take on a literal god in a fight. There’s nothing she wouldn’t do to lead and protect her village as Kage.

1 Not Great: Superman

There’s no question that Superman is a great hero. He has what it takes to save the world over and over again. He might be a little too noble to be Hokage though.

While Superman is fine keeping secrets like his identity, he doesn’t have the mentality to sanction spy work or keep secrets from his villagers for their own good. As demonstrated in Naruto pretty often, not every detail about shinobi missions are revealed to the public, and sometimes, the Hokage has to do bad things for the right reasons. Superman wouldn’t be willing to do that.
