I'm a fan. DC 's animation in general, both the movies and TV shows, have been blowing Marvel out of the water for 30 years and counting, beginning with Batman: The Animated Series. I have only seen a handful of the the Original Animated Movies, but have enjoyed the 4 or 5 I did see. I was actually planning on going on a buying spree to get a bunch of them before Covid-19 hit, due to watching a smattering of clips on YouTube.

The one that surprised me was Batman/TMNT. If I had only heard about it, my gut reaction would be that it would probably suck, but it looked good!

Aannnnd I'm googling it and finding out that DC started an "animated universe" in 2013. And there are a LOT of animations I've never seen. More than I realized for sure.

Yes. The "Animated Universe" started in the Flashpoint Paradox, and contains the Teen Titans and Damian Wayne. It's a little weird to me, because I'm pretty certain Under the Red Hood should also fit within that canon (even if, it doesn't contain major connections).

Major fan here. Flashpoint Paradox is probably my favourite but I haven't been disappointed with any of the ones I've watched (Dark Knight Returns, Justice League Dark, Suicide Squad, the Damian Wayne trilogy, others I'm forgetting off the top of my head). I'd love a separate series of the alternate Batman from Flashpoint.

I highly recommend Young Justice if you haven't seen it. It's one of the best animated series ever IMO.

I've always been delaying Young Justice, but I definitely want to!

One thing that did disappoint me was the remake of the Death of Superman.

In comics, the actual death was just the appetizer for the real story: The Reign of the Supermen. With the latest version, the death half was handled so well but the "Reign" was pretty terrible. Both halves had different writers for some reason.

Hmh. I thought the movie was okay, I didn't know it had different writers.
