Let me start with I own all the movies on blu-ray and freaking love each of them individually.
Contrary to most people I loved New 52 and stopped reading DC when they rebooted it out of existence.
I hate when people wipe their asses with established canon so I was super pleased that New 52 was starting from scratch with a clean slate, then that slate got shit on, repeatedly.
From Wikipedia:

• 1.1 Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (2013)
• 
  • My wife has zero interest in comic books, let alone animated ones, and she loved this movie. Such a good movie all around. Love how it kicked off the DCAU universe.
• 1.2 Justice League: War (2014)
• 
  • Fun origin movie. Does a good job of introing all the characters and it's exciting. Does a good job based off the New 52 initial JL reboot.
• 1.3 Son of Batman (2014)
• 
  • League of Shadows and Deathstroke, what else do you need?
• 1.4 Justice League: Throne of Atlantis (2015)
• 
  • This is one of my favorites. Such a good movie from beginning to end.
• 1.5 Batman vs. Robin (2015)
• 
  • Court of Fucking Owls.
• 1.6 Batman: Bad Blood (2016)
• 
  • This one a cool Batman Inc. storyline from New 52. Not as good as the other two, but still fun.
• 1.7 Justice League vs. Teen Titans (2016)
• 
  • The title is super misleading but it's a great Teen Titans romp.
• 1.8 Justice League Dark (2017)
• 
  • One of the coolest animated movies ever. The last scene with Swamp Thing is just too damn good.
• 1.9 Teen Titans: The Judas Contract (2017)
• 
  • Such a great Teen Titans story. Relationship is a little gross but besides that it's great seeing the Titans together.
• 1.10 Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay (2018)
• 
  • I had the lowest expectations for this movie and ended up loving it. That fucking ending.
• 1.11 The Death of Superman (2018)
• 
  • This one is just action, we all know the story and what happens, but it's well done.
  • Spoiler: SPOILER

    He dies.
• 1.12 Constantine: City of Demons - The Movie (2018)
  • 
  • This movie goes to some dark places and that ending legitimately broke my heart. That was something else.
• 1.13 Reign of the Supermen (2019)
• 
  • I love the canon blending they do in this movie to make an original story. Superboy especially was fun.

These are the movies officially in the DCAU universe canon and can I just say, they are all awesome?!
Rumor is Batman: Hush takes place in the same universe so I am super excited for it.
I personally am a canon whore, so I am REALLY hoping they stick to this universe instead of rebooting it again.
The stories are all so fun, and they clearly have a lot of freedom with what they can do with them.
For a guy that LOVES DC, I personally hate the live action movies, even Dark Knight Rises sucks imo, but I am very invested into this animated universe.
I am disappointed that we're only getting 3 movies a year, but so far each has been quality.
Anyone else love this universe as much as I do?

Yeah the animated films are great. I just watched Reign of Supermen couple nights ago.

My favorite is Flashpoint though. Great storytelling

 

[yeahokaywhatever]

Loved how the Suicide Squad film aped the grindhouse aesthetic to their advantage. I need to catch up on all of these. I wonder how the upcoming animated movies/shows will be like.

Yeah I’ve watched quite a few of those in the last month or so. Dark, Flashpoint, JL vs TT, Death of Supes, and Reign of Supermen. Really like Flashpoint, loved what they did with the alternate universe.

Spoiler

Loved how Bats was actually Thomas and the Joker was Martha gone insane after the death of Bruce

Just finished watching both of the Superman movies earlier today. I was kind of hoping they would go with the Coast City destruction that led to Hal Jordan's mental breakdown leading to the Emerald Twilight storyline and then Jordan's stint as a villain for a little while.

The movies are good but they end up being too much of a departure from the comics for my liking. You have to have a plan for your cinematic universe to be any good and this new DCAU is still too haphazard and too focused on Batman to really make a mark.
