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).

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

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

Guess it depends on what you're looking for. In the original story, half the excitement was trying to guess which of the Supermen was the real Superman. Everyone got their moment to shine and made you think "Maybe he's the one..." Everyone was supposed to have an aspect.

Cyborg Superman had the power, Eradicator had the appearance, Steel had the heart, and Superboy had the coolness. When Cyborg "turned heel" and destroyed an entire city, it was a huge shock. And the real Superman was supposed to return with no powers and still save the day proving that he was more than his powers. I don't think any of this was conveyed in the animated version of Reign.

I just re-watched them, and I see where you're coming from.

On my first view, I absolutely loved how Conner Kent was depicted, and I was definitely misled by Cyborg Superman. But I definitely wish these characters had had much more screen time! The fact the end casts them aside and Conner just gets a photo is disappointing.
