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.

[@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

[@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,

[@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.

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

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.

[@khizeryusufzai2185]

The Tomorrowverse started so well but got ruined halfway through 😫

“Parallax gets beat up by a bunch of newbies” Find it funny that this happens in the comics with Kyle Rayner this one dude who kick parallax’s butt. 🤣

[@BenKorman-i4k]

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

[@itsamewow3100]

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

I love the effort you've put into this.

[@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.

[@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.

Finally someone acknowledging that all the movies are connected... I just subscribed

[@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.

[@TevyaSmolka]

Great rankings man

[@thealmightypharaoh7106]

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 😂

[@pavannani44]

Keeping Flashpoint at first, gained you a subscriber and isn't it irony that DCAUs first movie is the best?

[@eastonmurdock04]

Dark apokolips war should be lower, but besides that, I agree with the ranking

[@pietroman1880]

Wait so Gods and Monsters is not considered as part of the DCAMU? Absolute brilliant movie

[@pauldesigncomics2625]

Guessing because it’s Elseworlds

[@karamazov623]

Probably the best of the bunch. Batman Assault on Arkam is my second favorite and also seemed to be missing.

[@Blades500]

Assault on Arkham is (I believe) a slight continuation of the Arkham video games. At least that's what I heard somewhere ​@@karamazov623

[@juuzousuzuya3146]

​@karamazov623 Assault on Arkham is arkhamverse not dcamu

[@yxanimations]

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

[@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.

[@thecomicdirector8417]

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

[@Mikey1key]

I agree if the top 3 dark apk war is so slept on

14:48 I really liked the long Halloween movie series from the art style and plot and character development. Also because catwoman is super hot but that’s just a bonus really.

[@marcusyates3044]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@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 🙄.

I ran thru the DCAMU and wanted to continue but I think I’ll be going in reverse

[@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.

One of my favorite among all of this was the throne of atlantis

[@jasoncaldwell5627]

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.

Favorite tomorrowverse movie - i'd say justice society but there's certain issues i have with it, so instead it's the long Halloween both parts. Favorite DCAMU movie: probably the flashpoint paradox, or suicide squad

[@chrique4635]

I watched Justice league flashpoint Paradox was kind of amazing and I was expired to it in a long time after 11 years. later the series ended in tomorrow verse in crisis on infinite earth. I kinda enjoyed it of crisis on infinite earth. It’s my favorite series comic book some more great some were bad and part three is kind of really slow, but really long explore the Lord so I’ll give it 8.9 / 10

[@hayoumadson6541]

Justice league apocalypse war wins for me it’s like avengers, infinity, war and endgame just in an animated version. Bad guy wins. Everybody loses years go by one person find a way bring some heroes back to beat the villain, but that movie was probably the best. On top of it they said let’s go rated R. It was very hard watching it.

[@mordecaimosco876]

Justice league dark apokolips 2.justice league flashpoint 3.death of superman 4.crisis on infinite earths part 3 5.batman long Halloween 6.crisis part 1&2 or just 1 7.batman vs robin 8.justice society world war2 9.suicide squad hell to pay 10.batman hush

[@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.

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.
