Watched Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 & 2 yesterday and can't believe it took me this long to watch a DC animated movie.

Really enjoyed it and noticed its apart of the "DC Universe Animated Original Movies" however I'm not sure what order I should watch the movies in or if it even matters (from what I've gathered their a collection of movies rather than a set story line).

Looking for any suggestions of which movies to watch in what order or should I just dive in? (Saw a couple of people praising Under the Red Hood on reddit)

>(Saw a couple of people praising Under the Red Hood on reddit)

Skip it, Red Hood is a whiny bitch who thinks Batman should compromise his no-kill code ONLY for his dumb ass, also Nightwing is voiced by a faggot.

Any suggestions where to start if not red hood?

I don't understand how the animated films manage to be better than the live action, both as nailing the characters and stories as well as being films, especially when they generally have very short run times.

Batman Year One

"Justice League: War" is pretty good.

Just go on the wiki page, it's what I did. Only the most recent ones that feature Batmans son actually have anything to do with each other.

Don't mix the DCAU up with the DCUA either.

Don't listen to this guy

Crisis on Two Earths is great

they aren't better.

Alright, that's cool.

Flashpoint Paradox is pretty good

It wasn't bad.

>mfw Batman beat the everlasting shit out of the gang leader, breaking his bones one by one
Why can't the movies do THAT shit?
Holy fuck it was the most satisfying fight i've seen in a long time

here is a list of all animated movies made by dc en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_films_based_on_DC_Comics#Animated_films
my favorite dc animatede movies were : Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, Superman: Doomsday, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox and Superman/Batman: Public Enemies all movies are great but thise are my favorites
i'm glad that someone open a thread about dc animated movies

Generally accuracy portrayal from best to worst is

1. Books/comics
2. Animation
3. Movies/tv series

Live action is just shit in general, but people are too lazy to read and think animation are for kids.

I think it has to do with the fact they don't have to hold back the violence and can go overboard with the characters for example the Joker seemed like an actual character who was brutal as fuck compared to the Heath Ledger version (not that I'm not a fan of his acting in the Batman Trilogy)

Added to the list

Are the Justice League movies related (with overarching plot lines) or can I watch them in any order?

Out of curiosity why?

I dont know how big a pleb you are

You might enjoy Justice League War or Assault on Arkham for all I know

So just watch them all in reverse chronological order.


In fact, SCRATCH THAT. Go watch the Justice League show instead

warehouse scene in BvS.

>Batman shouldn't kill and let criminals kill innocents

Still retarded tbqh.

>Out of curiosity why?

It adapted a mediocre storyline and made it worse
But even on its own it has structure problems
Also the animation itself and the style is shit, that's been happening since Flashpoint Paradox

Superman vs The Elite wasn't bad, but the comic it's based on does a better job. All Star Superman is pretty good too.

As far as Justice League ones go I enjoyed:
New Frontier(it was different and that's why I liked it)
Crisis on Two Earths
Flashpoint Paradox

Subzero if you're a fan of Heart of Ice

Some of my favorites (besides TDKR):
Justice League The New Frontier
Justice League The Flashpoint Paradox
Justice League Crisis on Two Earths
Justice League Gods and Monsters
Wonder Woman
Green Lantern First Flight
All-Star Superman
Batman Assault on Arkham
Batman Under the Red Hood
Superman Batman Public Enemies

The "Son of Batman" series (in chronological order)
Son of Batman
Batman vs Robin
Batman Bad Blood
Justice League vs Teen Titans

Now go and read the original comic version of The Dark Knight Returns and realized how shit the movie is in comparison.

>Are the Justice League movies related (with overarching plot lines) or can I watch them in any order?
They are all stand-alone movies. None of them have an overarching theme except the recent ones with Damian Wayne(Son of Batman, Batman vs. Robin, Batman: Bad Blood, and Justice League vs. Teen Titans)

I mostly agree with this except for Wonder Woman, Gods and Monsters, and maybe Green Lantern. Green Lantern wasn't terrible, but I just couldn't get into it for some reason.

Timmverse>Gods and monsters>the rest.

I want the Bat army.

There were two Green Lantern movies. I like the first one quite a bit, particularly the way it introduces Sinestro.

Is Manchester Black supposed to actually come from Manchester?

It feels wrong to hear Superman say "wanker".

Flashpoint Paradox is probably my favorite DC movie of them all.

Don't really have to time to commit to watching full TV shows at the moment

So to clarify an ordering like this would be fine?

Batman Year One
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
Superman/Batman: Apocalypse
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies
Justice League The New Frontier
Justice League Crisis on Two Earths
All-Star Superman
Batman Assault on Arkham
Batman Under the Red Hood

And then go back and watch the rest if I'm still enjoying them?

He's supposed to be an analogue to Jenny Sparks from The Authority who is british as fuck so probably.

Imagine if after BvS with his new change in operating he starts to build that up, not necessarily fighters but something akin to the hobo network sherlock holmes had with Batman having his own CIs all over Gotham reporting crimes in progress etc


#Batsignal

I loved that movie right up until the stupid war, really ruined the momentum of the movie

Does anyone know when the new gods among us webshow comes out?

They're all disconnected so watch in whatever order you like.

I also highly recommend Batman vs Robin, even if you don't intend to check out the rest of the Damian Wayne series. It works pretty well on its own.

>implying Red Hood wasn't great

>Batman: Assault on Arkham
>Justice League: DOOM
>Under the red hood

All good and at least worth watching

I may have spoken too soon. Superman/Batman Public Enemies goes before Apocalypse.

It's not, typical Judd Winnick garbage with Bender joker.

Year one, phantom of the opera and red hood

I loved TDKR but year one and red hood were underwhelming cartoon network tier shit

>phantom of the opera
Kek. Was that intentional?

So I should watch Public Enemies before Apocalypse?

the first part was great, second part was terrible

nope

Yes. The storyline's mostly disconnected (as is the different art style) but they do take place within the same chronology.

Yes

It was meh.
I liked Green Lantern.

>no mask of the phantasm
fucking amazing. the children on here are fucking plebs even by the low, autistic standards of capeshit. please end yourselves.

I tried watching this. the writing and voice acting/direction was so bad I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

Alright

Thanks for the suggestions everyone

Not part of the DC Original Movies banner. It's an excellent film though.

Why did dc animated movies start having terrible animation beginning in the mid 2000s? it was such a higher quality in the 90s. was it from going hand drawn to computers? they all look shit now

The Flashpoint Paradox was great!

Everybody has already seen it. It used to play on Cartoon Network all the time. I think if you're over the age of 15 you've seen it at least twice

Did people on Sup Forums like Assault on Arkham?
I thought it was great, but checked imdb and it only has a 7.5 score

I thought it was ok

>letting imdb/rt/metacritic dictate what you should and shouldn't like
Who cares what some random website says? Form your own opinion.

it was okay i guess

Nobody mentioned Doom?

I thought it was pretty great.

Don't listen to this fucking retard, under the red hood is great, you'd be stupid to skip it.
