Jensen Ackles’ performance as Jason Todd in Under the Red Hood was top tier. The anger, sadness, and regret he exhibited in his voice was so intense it gave me goosebumps.

"Dreams save us. Dreams lift us up and transform us into something better. And on my soul, I swear that until my dream of a world where dignity, honor and justice are the reality we all share, I'll never stop fighting. Ever." - Superman vs. the Elite (2012)

I liked it when Supes told Darkseid regarding Bats resolve "Than man won't quit as long as he can still draw breath, none of my team will".

[@PrinceTrexus]

"Batman: Under the Red Hood" will always be one of my favorite DC animated films. Jensen Ackles absolutely NAILED his performance as Jason Todd. Especially the scene when he finally confronts Batman about the Joker, his acting is so strong. You can really hear the pain in Ackles's voice as he delivers the lines, and you truly feel for the former Robin as he questions why his mentor, his father figure, did not finally put an end to his killer.

[@SKßœñ2.8]

It is a very emotional movie it always has a place in my heart

[@adey126]

The fact that the animated DCU had a better tie in stories and stand alone stories than the live action says alot. My favorites being Hush, Gotham Gaslight, and The Long Halloween pts 1&2.

[@uwotm8649]

Batman movies really are the best. Since James Gunn says elseworlds movies will be a thing it’s not too far fetched anymore to think we could get a live action Batman Gotham By Gaslight.

[@adey126]

@@uwotm8649 Batman and the Justice League movies are my go toos that I can watch more than any other of the DC movies. I hope you are right with the elseworlds I’d love to see The Long Halloween on the big screen. 🤗

[@patrickdepew4976]

It's because they don't have to fulfill studio expectations to make hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, so they're not trying to appeal to a mass audience.

[@Thurgosh_OG]

@@uwotm8649Unfortunately, James Gunn has lied about almost everything else, since he took over DC, so I wouldn't put any bets down. example - The new Superman film will not be an origins film - J.Gunn - It will be about a young Superman first getting to Metropolis and finding himself as a rookie reporter. That's pretty much an origin story for Supes. He also said there would be no other heroes in the Superman film and later announced there would be 3 or 4 'appearances'. He's said plenty more - Check out MrHReviews for more details.

[@lugialover2496]

The Long Halloween had Catwoman ending up with Batman 🥰 my top tier favorite when it comes to the Bat and the Cat

[@karmabum21]

I was expecting to see the scene in Return of the Joker when Tim Drake kills the Joker. That scene was so jaw dropping, they had to make an alternate scene.

[@thatjeff7550]

Joker: Now deliver the punchline!!! Drake: (shoots Joker) Joker: That....wasn't....funny.... (dies) Me: I dunno, I thought that was hilarious.

[@tjjordan4207]

I like both the Uncut and Theatrical deaths of the Joker. While the Uncut version is far more extreme and disturbing, I have to give credit to the Theatrical for managing to pull it off in a different way. We don't see Joker's death, but his final scream is haunting. That said, I do prefer the Uncut death as it confirms without a doubt that the Joker did die that night, which added more to the mystery of how he was back.

[@randallrona9618]

Batman: Under the Red Hood was a masterpiece as it own right. How funny thing that Jensen Ackles who voiced Jason Todd/Red Hood would go on to voice as Batman in Batman: The Long Halloween Part 1 & 2.

[@rebeccac.l.5601]

Agreed! It was so good!

DC animated movies are better than all the "real" DC movies and all of the MCU combined. They should just give them all the money and market those movies more. This is prime time quality super heroes films.

[@annabelwessel7545]

1 of the most jaw dropping moments ever was the moment Flash was easily killed off in Injustice. That was even more shocking and unexpected, especially after the games and comics

[@rileywhalen6554]

That I agree

[@jennifernewkirk4747]

The part where Aquaman is talking to the lobster at 2:06 reminds me of when The Deep was talking to a lobster in “The Boys”. that meeting did have a happy ending.

[@TheRManProds]

APOKOLIPS WAR HAD SO MANY MOMENTS!

[@Vindog962]

Best animated movie

[@msoi215]

For The Joker to trick Superman into killing Lois Lane, his reaction shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Something like that would set anybody off.

[@sethgile8584]

One DC movie scene that left me speechless was that scene from “ Suicide squad hell to pay” was near the end when we found out that Zoom had a hole in his head from a bullet the entire time I also like, how are used his speed force to keep his Time of dying extended.

When it comes to dark storytelling DC never fails to surprise.

[@ArmyGuyClaude]

For me Batman killing his son or seeing the Flash hooked up to the energy generator on Apokalypse was a lot more shocking than the Furies.

[@derrickhaggard]

The scene where Superman slays the partygoers actually leads to a deviation from the games that fans actually loved aka Wonder Woman realizing she was wrong for stoking Superman's descent into tyranny. Wonder Woman: "You killed them all didn't you?" Superman: "I was being strong liked you asked me to." Wonder Woman: "Yes you have to be strong but only against the criminals who deserve it those were just children mere youths who had no idea the man whose life they were celebrating was a psychotic mass murderer."

[@sashi138]

I, for one, figured it out VERY FAST that with the reimagining of Aquaman from the original Justice League animated series in 2001, that the so called "whimpy" hero was, in fact, given his massively long denied *Due*.. he can withstand the pressures of the bottom of the sea! The pressures that WE CANNOT go to because virtually all our ships would be crushed like tinfoil.. and HE moves down there as freely as he pleases. This translates into an incredibly powerful body that is massively strong and heavily resistant to damage, and his primary power to control sea life... there's some things down there that the majority of humanity has NEVER seen.. and I'm talking HORRORS of the deep in a very literal sense (( in that universe)).. the fact that he can call and control them.. that is NOTHING to take lightly in any sense of the word! The only other thing that I honestly hated was that they either couldn't or didn't get Mark Hamel to play the iconic voice of the Joker in "Under the Red Hood".. it just wasn't as good without him.. ( at least in my little opinion )

I can think of a more chilling moment from "Gods and Monsters": The flashback when that universe's Wonder Woman (the daughter of Highfather of the New Gods) married Orion, but was the only survivor of a slaughter engineered by Highfather himself. Considering in most DC stories Highfather is considered one of the main forces for Good and that he engineered what was essentially the Red Wedding, that really sold that this was not your father's Justice League.

I can believe that some version of Superman would be broken by what he experiences in Injustice. But I think after killing Joker he's probably just leave rather than try to conquer the Earth (as he did when He killed the three kryptonians in the other timeline).
