Ranking All 26 Movies in the DC Animated Movie Universe

[@Carmadillo-c6k]

"Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox" was such a good movie that it convinced general audiences and movie studios that Flashpoint was the only Flash story worth telling. It was quite literally too good for its own sake.

[@evanlight2550]

Which sucks, because now Flash is only ever associated as being “the time travel character” or “the retcon button”. Making Flash (Barry and Wally) time travellers was a big mistake.

[@kp1x]

If there was a trilogy for him I’d make the first one be about the rogues and discovering speed force / setting up the flash family. The second one develops the flash family as a b plot and for the main plot I think it’s be cool if grodd took control over the JL And flash family gotta stop them. It would also set up reverse flash. Third movie would be flashpoint + reverse flash standoff and go into both their back stories. Trilogy ends like the comics where Barry realizes only way to stop his arch enemy is to forgive him, then he can retire and Wally takes over.

[@NightRunner2099]

My problem with Reign of Superman was that it never really focused on a world without Superman and a league without their heaviest hitter and how they deal with threats in his absence and why he's that important. We got some glimpses of how different characters feel and that's really it.

[@springsaber]

What's the title of Superman or Justice League

[@Outlier999]

That would have required a whole other animated movie.

[@NightRunner2099]

@@Outlier999 that would have been better. After all, this is called Reign Of Superman and not the return of Superman. Actually, a lot of movies in this universe would have benefitted from being a part longer, especially Judas Contract. Or do what Superman: Doomsday did and not try to adapt all the bullet points without all the content in between. They didn't need all 4 Superman replacements to make a decent story. If Dcamu is hellbent on changes, at least make changes that create a more balanced story with the time you have. It's the same thing with Judas contract. There, they change Terra's story form being a thief who joins the Titans to not adapt all the things around it and skip her joining the team and all the individual reactions, and resort to one or two character moments to make the story fit into about 80 minutes, while also giving Damian time to be there despite not adding anything, and skip most things in regards to Terra's brother or Slade's backstory,

[@shadowstrike234]

Flopmorrowverse really made me appreciate the DCAMU more. Made me appreciate Justice League vs Teen Titans. Yeah, JUSTICE LEAGUE VS TEEN TITANS.

[@mayotango1317]

Not me, I hate Damian.

[@senzanome9824]

​@@mayotango1317For me Damien in the dcamu is a fantastic character, he starts from what he is the hateful boy in the comics (on purpose and rightly so considering where he grew up) and develops him in an excellent way

[@senzanome9824]

Personally I already liked justice league vs teen titans, good movie like most of the dcamu

[@gokakarotku]

Never bothered with the tomorrowverse because the art style was so off putting to me. Glad I didn’t waste my time, only watched these videos

[@davidakin3840]

Nah that was honestly mid #bringdcauback

[@Zekrel]

I don’t care what anyone says, Reign of the Supermen is underrated. As someone who never read the comic, I found the story very interesting and the characters fun to watch.

[@HerbCoswellBornAgain]

Heres my ranking of the Tomorrowverse/DCAMU: 1. Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox 2. The Death of Superman 3. Superman: Man of Tomorrow 4. JL DARK: Apokolips War 5.

Reign of the Supermen deserves more than a rank of 18 imao.

[@jham4745]

So you like the crisis movies well 2 of them they were both thrash buckets the limited series comic book was way better then all three flims

[@Woobuggy848]

To me, I say that DCAMU/Tomorrowverse gets a little bit hated for reasons...but it's still has it's good moments.

[@luhhchi]

ngl, imo crisis on infinite earths part 1 was better than part 3. i think the fact it was mainly focused on the flash is primarily why but idk the emotional aspect of it n perfectly covering barry n iris relationship. i think it was rly sold

[@khizeryusufzai2185]

The Tomorrowverse started so well but got ruined halfway through 😫

not so hot take: the DCAMU is the best comic book cinematic universe

[@mateobustamante2304]

DCAU: 🥱

[@abhiananda4486]

​@@mateobustamante2304 but DCAU is an animated series universe (the best IMO).... However, it's not a connected cinematic universe.... DCAMU is the second best overall connected universe, and the best connected cinematic (film) universe

Honestly I preferred it when they only made standalone animated projects since it allowed them to tackle some underrated stories or weird ideas. (Which they been luckily doing again lately)

[@itsamewow3100]

I would love if they did a Kingdom Come, WW Dead Earth, or Forever Evil movie. Or maybe even something original where the League or Trinity could interact more

[@lifegrip]

@@itsamewow3100I would love to see Forever Evil.

[@TevyaSmolka]

Great rankings man

[@928studiosinc06]

Whatever the case may be, all of these movies are still the most fleshed out DC Cinematic Universe thus far. Oh, and in the comics, Kyle Rayner defeated Parallax as well, and he was a new recruit/only GL at that moment.

[@Zekrel]

Sorry but nothing is ever toping the DCAU. Started out strong and never stopped. the DCAMU may have began well and ended well but the middle was really a drag to get through. And I think less said about the Tomorrowverse the better.

[@yxanimations]

My personal top three are 1. Batman: The Long Halloween (deluxe edition) 2. Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox 3. The Death of Superman

[@Vpalomino89]

I agree with mostly everything , tho i would put Apokolips War first and flashpoint paradox in third place. Also have you thought about a "making a Marvel animated ovie universe in the style of the dcamu/tomorrowverse"? i think is a potentially good idea.

[@BenKorman-i4k]

i would’ve liked the forever evil storyline than the Criss infinite earths story.

[@diaryofarobot]

19:03 don't lie to us you put that there because of It was me, barry

[@ArifDemiurgos]

The Death of Superman is my favourite out of all the DCAMU movies. It is the best adaptation of the comic. While the Tomorrowverse wasn't that great some movies like Superman: Man of Tomorrow, Batman The Long Halloween, and Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 3 were really good.

[@Dubz759]

I know nothing about this whole continuity, but does this recent movie mean all the animated stuff will be brand new. Will they create a new animated universe?

[@marcusyates3044]

Would you explain your own predications on what stories the DCU movies would tell? 👌

[@zorandire3946]

the movie peaked with Flashpoint for me but Justice League Dark and Constantine City of Demons were my favorites from DCAMU, while Man of Tomorrow is definitely the movie that made me love Superman.

[@ArtoftheAlmighty2K]

I thought the wonder woman being from a different earth thing was dumb too. I think the reason way she didn't appear on the main earth was because of the timeline meddling. Because darkseid and his army was killed, the parademons never attacked Steve Trevor, and he never landed on the island, therefore Diana was never given a reason to leave the island. But I still say they could've found away to make her leave the island 😂

[@Hewylewis]

I'm sorry, man, but Thalia Al Ghul should NOT be a straight up villain. In my opinion, the New 52 and the DCAMU RUINED her character.

[@HerbCoswellBornAgain]

Well said.

[@camerondalton1495]

[@atchison8145]

It wasn't the New 52 that butcherd her character. It was Grant Morrison.

[@EvilMonstrous17]

when will you do The Most Iconic DC Hero To Debut In Each Year (1986-2023)?

[@NightRunner2099]

My issue with Dcamu is that the changes and the added characters don't amount to much, and everything mostly ends up being the same. The addition of Beetle and Damian to Titans doesn't do much in terms of changing the story, and they just take over the roles of other characters in the comic. Another example is the intervention of the League against Doomsday. They don't do anything memorable against him, and most of them are taken out very disappointingly, with Martian Manhunter being conveniently thrown into a gas station that explodes.

[@VAB4466]

I personally really don't like the crisis trilogy, I'd put all of them pretty low outside of part 3 which can go somewhat high

[@CypherAnime-n1g]

[@divyamkumar1339]

The crisis trilogy made no sense to me. Those movies were so boring as well. Why did Psycho Pirate get so eaily influenced by the antimonitor? Why does he exist in the first place? His role in crisis was pretty meh. Crisis was too philosophical and the enemy seemed ridiculously mysterious and at times very random. The pacing of the triology was also terrible.

[@heroesthunder58]

The movies r so bad and it feels so rushed to get to this point after just 5 or 6 movies , it feels so disconnected too , I didn't like the ending too

[@thecomicdirector8417]

My fav dc animated movie is dark knight returns part 2 which ik isnt part of those universes but i love it

[@Particle_Ghost]

I'm in the minority that feels there is to much in the series and it's milked beyond milking, I only keep the bare minimum in my collection. On my bookshelf I have and in order, Batman Animation Series, Beyond Batman, Superman Animated Series, Justice League and Unlimited. Then I have a dvd set that has 18 of the best Batman Animated movies. I personally think that's all you really need. I view the final episode of Unlimited as the end kind of like Avengers: Infinity War. I treat the 18 movie Batman collection as personal missions that took place at different times.

[@vincentcabanillas4004]

Honestly since the Flashpoint Paradox I can count on one hand, how many movies I really liked. By contrast I can count on one hand how many Justice League/Unlimited episodes I disliked. It is a shame that most of the movies just plain sucked. The movies before Flashpoint were really good too, Like BB Return of the Joker, The 1st Crisis with President Wade, Assault on Arkham, Gotham by Gaslight.

Assault an Arkham wasn't much better than son of Batman imo

[@vindozadm7772]

I understand what you mean when you put Wonder Woman bloodline so low that I have to respectfully disagree kind of only because it's the only movie I've seen that got Wonder woman's personality correct. That she's more than just a warrior but she's a compassionate person. Something DC themselves turn to ignore in favor of Batman 🙄.

Justice Society should have been the numbe three movie. It introduced great characters with the highest stakes, action and violence that was suitable for the war setting and it has the very best depiction of Wonder Woman that I've ever seen. It had nice surprises and twists and not everyone survived. While not on your list since it took place before Flashpoint, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earth's would have taken the top spot for me. It's definitely the most re-watchable. The New Frontier as well.
