Marvel and DC Animated Films/Television Shows

[Benjamin]

JLU was aimed at kids, though, right? I just hope they won't go OTT with the sex appeal and violence, I'd like to be able to watch this stuff with my little cousin, our watch-throughs of the original Justice League cartoon was super fun.

There's gonna be a Guardians of the Galaxy animated show for Disney XD.

I hope they stay true to the movie and have batista calling teammates whores now and then. Come on Disney make it happen.

I've never been hugely into DC stuff apart from the movies/Arrow/Flash but my girlfriend got me to watch Batman: Under the Red Hood the other day and it was awesome.

I know I'm a little late to the party, but for the same reason I just started watching Young Justice. I'm only 3/4 episodes in but its pretty great so far

[Benjamin]

Avenged, watch the DC Animated Universe stuff. It's absolutely awesome, exactly what their live-action movies could only hope they were.

[TKz]

Under the Red Hood and Young Justice are the two best entry points, I'd say.

My suggestion would be to now watch Flashpoint Paradox, followed by Justice League: War.

The only other one I really enjoyed was Son of Batman, but a lot of people disliked that. I think it might have helped that I like the storyline and I'm a big Damien Wayne fan. I enjoyed Justice League: Doom well enough too.

Those are the main ones, anyway. I've always felt the rest of the DCAU isn't as strong as the ones listed. There are some with similar quality levels, but not liking the stories they're based on kind of sours me on them. (Dark Knight Returns, Year One) I also haven't seen a fair few of the earlier ones, like Public Enemies and Doomsday, so I can't comment on those.

Thanks for the recommendations, good chance she probably has most of them on DVD so I'll find out. If not, I know which ones to track down first

Edit: I've actually seen Dark Knight Returns a while ago, it was good but I found it kinda weird.

[Benjamin]

Dark Knight Returns is kinda' meh, actually. Part 1 was waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Part 2.

Best ones are JL: Flashpoint Paradox, JL: Doom, Batman: Assault on Arkham (Suicide Squad!), JL: The New Frontier (done old school style and it's really, really great the way they do it), JL: War (which you kinda' need to watch for the next one coming out next year), All-Star Superman and Batman: Year One. Assault on Arkham took me by surprise on how good it was, as did All-Star Superman, had no idea I would like that one. If you're looking for anything else Superman though the rest are all pretty mediocre, Superman/Doomsday had a really good fight sequence, though.

Everything else is fine, but nothing extraordinary. It's way better than anything DC have put out, with the obvious exception of TDK Trilogy.

I miss you, Young Justice.

Public Enemies and Doomsday are straight up animated versions of two stories from the previous Superman/Batman comic. They're even drawn in the same style. They cut out some details though.

Assault on Arkham I want to enjoy you!

Damn PS3 refusing to play the disc even though it was straight from the just unwrapped case into the console!

Try checking for updates?

[Avenged Probably]

I just finished the second series of Young Justice....

The hell man!? This is meant to be a children's show!

I was watching Static Shock clips today andI think I found an issue in the old DCAU continuity.

These are both future Static in the Batman Beyond time with Terry as a Teenager. On the left is when Static went to the future and saw himself. On the right is when a couple JL members went and saw what was left of the JL. There looks to be a big age difference even though at most there would be only like 3 years since in both trips you see Terry with his teenage build.

Assault on Arkham was so good you guys!

[Benjamin]

Yeah Assault on Arkham is lovely. I would have no problem with them using that as a base for the Suicode Squad movie.

I know there are a lot of Young Justice fans here...
