All Star Superman

Daniel Falade

Justice League Doom and All Star Superman

Matthew Poth

Green lantern Animated Movies and Justice League Crisis on two earths

Tim Chaos

Definitely gotta add The Dark Knight Returns Parts 1 & 2 to the list!!

Michael Doyle

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker is iconic

The Normies

These movies are Young Justice replacement and we are replacing Harley Quinn with The Legend of Vox Machina :)

The Answer

Batman: Superman: Public Enemies

BradBoimler

also has miss martian

jsterj99

Justice League vs Fatal Five, has the same animation style as the Justice League cartoon, also Batman Soul of the Dragon it’s a Bruce Lee movie with Batman,

Tupocalypse Shakur

I really love the frame of Clark punching Darkseid's face right after he does it

Graviton

Another reason to watch superman/batman apocalypse is that’s where the superman cape pull meme comes from😂

Pedro Hernández

I can't believe they're not on the list Dark Knight Returns 1 and 2😢

BradBoimler

Agree its a must watch for any DC fans

BradBoimler

You need to add Wonder Woman 2009 Superman/Batman: Apocalypse & Superman Man of Tomorrow all must watches

Matthew Knell

Good

RAV3RXTZ

Love The Authority, esp Midnighter!

CJ Dennis

Some channels yes, but the popular reaction channels just decide to go with the DCAMU because that's what people keep recommending, but to me the earlier ones like Wonder Women 2009, Justice League Doom, Superman vs the Elite, and Batman Assault on Arkham are way better. Also, with them being stand alone you would think that would make them even better to react to because you don't have to follow any particular order 😅 😅.

Fede GG

I think it’s a good selection of DC Movies. There is enough variety in terms of animation style and themes. While the Tomorrowverse movies don’t have as much acceptance, I really enjoy the classic animation style they attempt in the aesthetics. The only ones I would add are: 'All Star Superman,' the comic is glorious and the animated adaptation is close enough. 'Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths,' I love stories with the Crime Syndicate of America. 'Superman: Red Son,' another adaptation of an incredible comic.

Rey

Thats soo many movies and such a commitment though

Macs

No Dark Knight Returns? its not in any continuity but its definitely worth a watch

Graviton

Superman/Batman: Apocalypse is actually a really good animated film. You should definitely watch that. Not a lot of people react to it.

Adam Vialpando

For a second I thought they were going back to continue BTAS and then go through the whole shared universe. I was so disappointed.

Matthew Edwards

Add the Justice League and Green Lantern series to the schedule. You're gonna need something to replace Harley Quinn/Young Justice soon.

#NotMyDCAU

Anthony Montero

You guys should add some non-DCAU movies as well: Batman Gotham Knight Green Lantern First Flight Justice League Crisis on Two Earth's Justice League Doom Batman The Dark Knight Returns Batman Year One Batman Assault on Arkham Superman vs the Elite Superman/Shazam Superman Batman Public Enemies Superman Unbound All Star Superman Green Lantern Emerald Knights Superman Red Sun Justice League God's and Monsters Justice League vs the Fatal Five (Eventually, check out the Green Lantern animated series)

dannydarko27

If I remember correctly the trade for S/B Apocalypse had a section in the back that taught you how to read Kryptonian

xemo

Also, perhaps before Suicide Squad: Hell to Play, probably watch Batman: Assault on Arkham, which is IMO the superior Suicide Squad animated feature

xemo

Those plans looked to have changed. In recent interviews, Gunn has stated that Supergirl will be the next DCU movie going in to production (with tv shows Peacemaker S2 and possibly Lanterns in between) Vs. The Elite is a pretty dope movie though!

dardo

I’m so excited I literally just finished watching them myself!

Saifu

Really not sure if y'all should bother with the Tomorrowverse...

Marckelijah L.

I just want to see your reactions to apocalypse war 😭😭

Justin James

Agreed

Narutoanime16

True true tho they don’t have to watch BTAS like it’s more so Superman TAS that connects to JL since it kinda just ends on that sad ass ending & Superman has more of the connections introducing other JL characters and more crossovers with Batman

Norrin Radd

Just watch Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. That’s the best DC animated content in existence. 👌

Patrick Boyda

Simple one -- Batman & Superman: World's Finest, it's a 3-parter from the Superman animated series that works as its own movie. Also, just the Justice League and JLA animated series, if you wanna see the DNA of where stuff like Young Justice was built from.

Logien Franklin

FYI these movies get worse and worse as you go through them, especially the green lantern movie. Y’all should check out the green lantern movies from prior to the DCAMU. The 2000s has some peak DC

ufoboyz

DOOM!

Frankie H

Yeah, I'm glad they're doing this but they're missing some real awesome ones.

JERELL LEWIS

-Batman: The Dark Knight Returns part 1 and 2 -Green Lantern: First Flight -Justice League: Crisis on two earths -Justice League: Doom

G0d_Ginrai

For an Unofficial ‘Trilogy’ of sorts: -Superman/Batman: Public Enemies -Superman/Batman: Apocalypse -Superman: Unbound Although they are standalone as Movies, the comics they are based on had the events of ‘Public Enemies’ lead into the events of ‘Apocalypse’ whilst the backstory of a character introduced during these storylines is covered in the storyline ‘Unbound’ is based on.

Sou saetern

Right? That's what I was thinking. They're starting with Flashpoint then straight into War? That's a big leap. Crisis on two earth's should definitely be in between them.

Sou saetern

How is crisis on two earth's not on the list?

G0d_Ginrai

Actually ‘The Long Halloween’ isn’t standalone, hence why it’s included in their list of planned reactions. You’re right about The Dark Knight Returns though.

bob

Everything after JUSTICE society WW2 is mid

D Smith

Superman Vs. The Elite is based on a comic where Superman took on a team that were essentially fill ins for "The Authority" which they didnt own at the time but were a popular set of heroes. Its very good and one of the better movies at explaining why Superman is who he is. The Authority is the 2nd movie in the new DCU after Superman and coming out in 2026

Mzuka

Superman vs The Elite!

Mzuka

Justice League New Frontier would be a good addition - GREAT adaptation and Gunn said he took some inspo from this comic for the DCU. I have a feeling the Centre will be the first Justice League villain in his DCU.

Bob

why stop? theres still movies coming out with that continuity

CodePhoenix13

Need to add Batman Superman apocalypse and Batman Superman Public Enemies

bob

Stop after Justice League War World 2....and add Justice League Doom, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse, Batman Ninja, & Assault on Arkham

COREY Ervin Scott-Johnson

Will these be Thursday releases or Saturday?

Jul_Belton

Watch the Superman/Batman movies, like Public Enemies and Apocalypse. They predate Flashpoint Paradox and they're excellent. Also, Super Sons, with Jon and Damian.

Sonicluis

As of right now this list is great. We can add more later but I love this release order. You won’t hear any comments from me

RAV3RXTZ

I would also love to see Crisis on Two Earths, Gods & Monster, and JL vs Fatal Five (which has Emerald Empress (for you Young Justice crew) and Green Lantern Jessica Cruz!)

WhateverIFeelLike

Because you basically had the DCAU which was 10 years of interconnected shows and movies, then 7 years of stand alone movies and sequels with no real overall continuity, followed by 12 years of the DCAMU So when people recommend DC Animated content they recommend either the DCAU or the DCAMU because of the bigger overall continuity. However there are channels that have done the earlier stand alone movies and sequels

Zee

Me too plus he has a bit more DC knowledge to add into what they've learned form YJ

RAV3RXTZ

Maybe watch the older Green Lantern animated movies before the live action Green Lantern show to really get into the lore. First Flight and Emerald Knights.

SSJ VEGITO

I hope Spidey is in a lot of these reactions 😂 *Riley voice* Lol I don't like to dick ride, but he really is super funny to me 😅🤣

Objuan

superman vs the elites is a good one to react.

RAV3RXTZ

Excited to see these reactions!

Angel A Castro Castillo

These are some of the ones I can think of right now: Adam Strange Showcase, Justice League Crisis on Two Earths, Batman Year One, Green Lantern First Flight, Justice League Doom.

WhateverIFeelLike

DCAMU, DCAU is an entirely separate universe

Zee

This is a great list. I would strongly recommend the Dark Knight Returns animated movies, part 1 and 2

WhateverIFeelLike

You don’t start the DCAU half way through you have to at least watch Batman and Superman first. That be like watching the Avengers without watching Iron Man

Zee

It’s fucking hilarious 😂. Blind Wave are just now reacting to the Pain arc lmao

Nerd King 101

I got so hyped lol

Matthew Poth

green lantern first flight and emerald knights

kinky28

in no particular order. Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths (the best one), Batman: Gotham Knight, Green Lantern: Emerald Knights, superman red son. JL doom, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse ,All-Star Superman, Batman: Year One, Superman vs. The Elite, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1/2, Batman: Assault on Arkham

Gambit3838

Oh my damn. My favorite reaction channel for life. Lol

Matthew Poth

Justice league crisis on 2 earths and the animated green lantern movies

CJ Dennis

How come no one ever wants to react to earlier DC Animated films with the exception of under the red hood 😅 😅.

Husk

Dark Knight Returns and Long Halloween are great standalone adaptations you could watch before these.

RF

Most of these are the bad shoe string budget movies that were made around when the New 52 was a thing, which kind of sucks (the animated Wonder Woman movie specially feels like a rejected beta version of the live action one).I would really recommend Superman/Batman: Apocalypse, All Star Superman, Justice League vs the Fetal Five, and Superman vs The Elites.

Frankie H

"Justice League: Doom" and "Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths" are must watches, and they came out years before most of the ones on the list, and they take place before Justice League: Flashpoint Paradox.

WhateverIFeelLike

Important note these are DCAMU movies not DCAU movies, big difference. These movies have nothing to do with the DCAU which is a series of interconnected shows and movies. The DCAMU is an entirely separate series of interconnected movies with some occasionally wonky canon

@eric.na.goo.yen

THIS

Jay

You definitely have to do The Dark Knight Returns. Gods and Monsters is underrated too.

@eric.na.goo.yen

1. Watch “Under The Red Hood” again just because. 2. Please add “Green Lantern: Emerald Knights”. It’s easily the best GL animated movie. 3. Please add these two movies as well: “Justice League: Doom” “Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths” Imo the 2 best JL animated movies. Edit* I’d also like to add “Superman/Batman: Apocalypse”

Gysai Durgans

First and foremost, I would love to say congratulations on starting the DCAU movie marathon and for watching these movies in the right chronological order. Please do watch the following movies on your own time frame as well.1. Superman vs The Elite 2. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Parts 1 and 2 3. Justice League: Crisis on two Earths 4. Batman Year One

Narutoanime16

This is a good list and while its not a movie if ya'll want to see more of the Justice League after Young Justice is done the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited shows are great shows the first 7 members of the league then expands. Jon Stewart Green lantern baby!!!

Jon Mercano

Green Lantern First Flight and Green Lantern Emerald Knights early on. They’re both their own independent movies. And while they have the same art style, they aren’t connected to each other Maybe Batman Beyond Return of the Joker, though the first couple eps of the show might be a good precursor Perhaps Superman Doomsday And I know there’s so much Batman already, but you can’t go wrong with Year One and The Dark Knight Returns (2 parter)

Blake

You guys need to watch crisis on two earths as well it’s the best dc animated movie

WhateverIFeelLike

Yeah I saw that too and went wait what they’re watching DCAU movies, but nope DCAMU movies

Jon Mercano

They already did Red Hood

GadgetBoy197

This is a good list, but I recommend throwing in some one-off movies that don't connect to the larger stories of the others. 1. Superman vs The Elite 2. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Parts 1 and 2 3. Justice League: Crisis on two Earths 4. Batman Year One These are just a few of my personal choices, but many are standalone films that are very good and worth your time.

Rich Valdes

Bud Walker

Please watch Superman Red Son. It’s a good movie and not a lot of people talk about it.

SpeedyCat19

Blind Wave started these movies almost 4 goddamn years ago and the Normies will catch up to them in like a couple months lmao

_ FlusterCluck

I’d recommend green lantern first flight or emerald knights, they don’t have anything to do with the things covered in the dcau but they will give you a much better interpretation of Green lantern than anything in the dcau. Even the most recent Green lantern movie with John Stewart misses the mark.

Jakari24

Superman: Red Son I’m happy that you guys are doing the DCAU, but you’re missing out BIG TIME by only watching One Superman movie (Admittedly, as a Supes fan, I’m kinda salty lol). The WonderWoman movies are great as well. And please don’t forget the Green Lantern animated series since you were so interested in Kilowog and Razor lol

Denickart

Got my hopes up when you said DCAU. DCAMU's cool too I guess

Jaden DeLorge

Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders and Batman vs Two Face, both are also good suggestions for DCAU Movies.

Hobbes

Ugh don’t watch any of those they range from mediocre to terrible Might as well just watch jingling keys for 2 hours repeat 20 times and you’ve watched the DCAMU

TrixieTurner

Gods and monster should be watched as well, it’s one of the best if not best dc animated movie.

Dominic

This gonna be such a fun ride 😌😌😌

Katie

YOUR IN FOR A RIDE!

Katie

IM SO EXCITED!

Rodney Donahue Davis

Ok... JL:Flashpoint will be the dividing point between Crisis DCU and the New 52. JL: War will be the beginning of New 52, so you guys are starting off good. I just wish you guys could squeeze Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns part 1 & 2... maybe as a standalone Saturday showing? Anyway... great start off!
