Apokolips War - was The Darkest I've ever seen. I never thought I'd ever see The Justice League end up that way.

[@zodiacmartnio7256]

I agree

Darkseid went HAM on the Justice League in that scene😮😮😮😮

You misunderstood the Flash Iris scene. Time didn't speed up it slowed down. They spent years building the tower and aged naturally. They look 50 years older because for them it was 50 years.

[@tylergoodman3560]

My favorite shocking moment was the reveal of who was under the Red Hood; It shocked Batman and Alfred. 🎉

[@user-em6ie2be7x]

Injustice - The Joker setting off a Nuke destroying Metropolis & Superman punching a hole through The Joker's chest. That was the first time I saw how Dark The DCEU can get.

[@ShadyRK9]

Oh yes! Not only that but the moment when Jimmy was about to take The Joker's picture and got shot I gasps!

[@quinnmmccarn1357]

And the fact joker considers it child’s play compared to his rivalry with Batman.

[@deja_vengeance1212]

[@jakealter5504]

My favorite is probably getting to see trigon mix it up with darksied

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

The Justice League never stood a chance against Darkseid’s surprise ambush on Apokolips, and seeing their fates isn’t just shocking; it puts the “dark” in _Justice League Dark: Apokolips War._

[@ezequielperez2224]

Something that DC has better than Marvel is its animated films and the shocking stories or scenes that are very strong and are usually more raw. [Its my opinion personal 🤫]

[@davidstorrs]

Agreed. The DCAU is brilliant. Pity they can't get it together on the big screen except once in a blue moon.

[@fluffbulous3544]

DC did what Marvel couldn't. They killed little Darkseid.

While a moment from Return Of The Joker made it on the list, I’m surprised that Tim Drake turning into The Joker didn’t make on the list. It was one of the most shocking, nightmare fuel inducing, and jaw dropping DCAU moment I’ve ever seen.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

It’s sad that these movies will likely be forgotten and cared about 2100 or even 2050.

[@Bigjojo173]

Flashpoint paradox isn't only the best dc animated movie it's one the best animated movie. Reverse flash reviling all he did to Barry (his first kiss💀), then dropping the bomb that Barry is the one that fucked everything up just cuz he missed his mom🤯. That moment is up there with "the snap", "I am your father", "what's in the box", "prowler miles". Like what?!?! You telling me you did all this messed up shit to Barry and everything around him but Barry the one that messed it all up. And then seeing this reverse flash in hell to pay was amazing

[@rndmpinkiepie64]

... when did Death in the Family become interactive? I saw the movie. It's a series of short stories while touching on Under the Red Hood

[@LunarSault23]

Originally it's interactive on the dvd/Blu-ray format. Streaming and digital was just a compilation of scenarios

[@darrenblair7230]

Flashpoint 3 seeing my Batman one deliver the perfect final line Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill as the universe is erased made me cry hearing those last words

[@AdamChewyMartisJr.-qb8kx]

Justice the dark Apocalypse is the most gory darkest bloodiest movie I’ve ever seen like ever It’s the first time we seen our heroes fell to Darkside and to be honest it was kind of hard to watch I was also kind of you know And of course, the ending made me cry Like mad cry 😭😭😭

[@michaelvargas5144]

Apokolips War Was By Far The DARKEST DC Animated Movie I Ever Seen Mainly Because Of The Horrible Fates Of The Justice League, Teen Titans And Earth

[@matthewjones2513]

Batman sleeping with batgirl felt wrong.

[@rickeylawrence4229]

While I do agree with you... It has happened before, unfortunately.

[@derekberry6122]

Personally I think when they find out that Jason Todd was actually possessed by the joker in Batman beyond return of the joker was more shocking. Another shark in the moment is when Batman found out that there was not just one batwoman but three of them in the mystery of the batwoman animated feature. Another shock in Revelation is actually from Green lantern's first flight. The animated feature actually showed that there was more than one traitor in the Green lantern corps besides sinestro. Could also add in that when hell absorbed all the power of the lanterns battery in order to defeat sinestro for the final battle. Staying in the Green lanterns series The Green lantern emerald knights actually had a shark in the moment when the alien warrior trying to find mungo actually realized that mungo was actually a planet-sized Green lantern. In Green lantern's latest movie when Jon Stewart actually first gets the Green lantern ring he actually trying to find out what happened to Hal jordan. The really shocking moment is when he actually had to kill both sinestro and Hal Jordan who became parallax. This entire tomorrow verse actually had unexpected deaths all the time. In Batman assault on Arkham asylum on The suicide Squad movie The shocking death of a villain that actually was costumes switched with Batman to hide the Batman with in the group to find out what they were up to. In Batman battle for the cowl the realization that Bruce Wayne was still alive by being brainwashed by Thalia was pretty shocking but not more than he actually was brainwashed and broke the nightwing's arm. I believe it was cold Batman and the soul of the Dragon with the past martial artist that Bruce actually trained under with Master returns from the snake dimension as one of the hosts to The entity that they must fight. In the animated short of an artist is trying to fight through a block but can't. One night he actually finds a mysterious woman and actually wants to paint her it turns out that this woman is actually death and the artist has died but the truly shocking moment is when they after the fire the painting was not destroyed. Another little shocker is actually in the Catwoman short film where she finds a cat that actually has a bracelet and trying to find where it came from. You later learned that it was actually a little girl that Catwoman gave the bracelet to in order for her to pay her way out of Gotham, but actually winds up being captured and going to be sold. Batman Doom comes to Gotham actually has a lot of shocking moments in that movie. Number one I think is when Batman actually turned into a demon himself in order to fight the evil demon god Cthulhu. One of the most shocking moments actually had Kevin Conroy voice in Batman one last time in the animated series of the third part of the crisis on infinite Earths.

I just bought Flashpoint Paradox on KZbin today😂 Wonder Woman killing a child was pretty brutal, seeing Bruce Wayne gunned down and his mother snapping, Batman’s ruthless as hell. I loved it

[@ASoulphoenix]

JLD: Apokolips war had a lot more shocking moments: The league's defeat, the Titans' defeat, Darkseid kills Robin, the new Furies, Taskforce X (S squad) 's final stand, Nightwing's pit disaster, Constantine's reason for fleeing, etc...

[@sashi138]

FOR my bit.. I have to admit. when I first saw "Batman/Superman: Apocalypse and Darkseid tears through the front door of the Kent's house, my honest, first thought was that Darkseid had already been waiting, and in the process, destroyed them both. I was waiting for Superman and Kara to see their remains.. and go ABSOLUTELY **NO HOLDS BARRED** on his rocky butt..

[@Vyctor353]

This Is Why I'm Such A Huge Fan Of Clancy Brown (A.K.A. Lex Luthor)...Even His Voice Alone Commands Respect...Among The Best Modern Actors In My Opinion...

On the "Iris dies in flashtime". I think you misunderstood the scene. Iris and Flash lived an entire lifetime, the equivalent of decades while still in flashtime. They built the tower by themselves while everyone else who was not in the speedforce was frozen between seconds.

[@cregberger4451]

Alfred and his GF getting turned into trees at a "Health Care Resort" by Poison Ivy (As Demeter) - just the image seemed stark and haunting.

[@amandawilliams8706]

For me it was watching all those heroes die. Batwoman, Batgirl who put up a hell of a fight, Shazam, Lois and the Suicide Squad, Zatanna. Great movie Darkseid Wars but my heart broken watching them die.

[@ff3player]

Batman did snap Joker's neck in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 2 what happened after was in his mind as a coping mechanism for breaking his no killing rule. Just like in the comic

[@josephnathaniel5803]

JL Crisis on infinite earths when they show how John Constantine had a part to play in that multiverse being created, when it shows that, the new animation and that story line is directly linked to apokolips war story line. It's show what happen when flash ran off at the end of dark apokolips war

[@davidstorrs]

In Crisis on Infinite Earths, I don't think Flashtime sped up their aging. I think they lived a full life, decades of it, inside Flashtime while they built the machine that would save everyone.

After "Return of the Joker" was already on the list and other examples had two entries too I expected the final reveal to be here as well... how it was possible for Joker to come back after all that time. Have to admit when I saw it the first time I didn´t figure it out until near the end of the story.

[@AJ-xc4qe]

The reason why the DCAMU (both the Warverse or the Tomorrowverse) both ended so soon was because Warner Bros forced the animation team to limit their movies. With the Warverse limited to 16 movies and the Tomorrowverse 10. Half the time, I wish that whole company went bankrupt.

The only issue I have with Gordon being revealed as Jack the Ripper is the nightmare he has where Barbara was killed by Jack. Why? Because, when it's revealed he's the Ripper, he says wives are the worst whores of them all, sell themselves too cheap. If this is truly what he thought of his own wife, why in God's name was he terrified of the idea of finding he'd murdered her? It literally makes no sense at all
