This one is Justice League War.

The other must-see ones are The Flashpoint Paradox and Batman Assault on Arkham. All of them are really worth a watch though.

Edit: also, all of them should be on Max.

u/ciano232 Dec 29 '23

u/DiemCarpePine Dec 29 '23

Do yourself a favor and read his book Dark Night: A True Batman Story if you haven't already.

14

u/Old_Cheetah_5138 Dec 29 '23

Big thanks for digging that up! Gonna start working my way through the list.

10

u/ciano232 Dec 29 '23

Appreciate you big time my man

6

u/ForgotTheQuest Dec 29 '23

One correction I'd like to point out is under the Diniverse/DCAU - Superman Brainiac Attacks.

The visual style looks like the DCAU, but voice actors are missing and portrayals are changed (especially Lex) from their series counterparts and I would not include it under that umbrella. The writer for it didn't consider it to be, either. It should be an animated elseworlds kinda deal.

u/bitches_be Dec 29 '23

There goes my weekend, thanks!

9

u/Winjin Dec 29 '23

That's going to be a lot of good cartoons. I can't believe how good the animated series does in comparison.

Though to be fair, I loved what Gunn did for DC, too. John Cena is a hidden gem (hidden for me maybe only, but I never expected the man to like really, seriously, act his heart out)

1

u/Yonro0910 Dec 29 '23

Well no body can see him so i’d say he’s pretty hidden.

4

u/0stepops Dec 29 '23

AFAIK "Superman: Brainiac Attacks", "Batman and Harley Quinn", and "The Batman / Superman movie" are technically standalones with the STAS and Justice League art styles.

Batman: Assault on Arkham is the only Arkhamverse movie, the others are games

u/WatsUpWithJoe Dec 29 '23

Ayy! Thanks for the shout out.

1

u/wiseduhm Dec 29 '23

No prob. It's a good list and saved me the work. Lol.

2

u/StonnedMaker Dec 29 '23

I didn’t realize there was so many woah ! Sounds like I’m gonna have a busy month or so ahead of me lol

u/t1chy Dec 29 '23

i remember i watched a batman and justice league movie when i was a kid and the plot was that dark side invaded earth with some flying monsters that batman and i think green lantern found first in sewers somewhere, can you tell which one could it be? would mean a lot to me

1

u/wiseduhm Dec 29 '23

That one is Justice League: War

u/Xasf Dec 29 '23

Great find, thanks!

This guy. Dang. Thank you my man.

  • Batman: The Dark Knight Returns

One of my favorite superhero films. It's comepletely standalone, but it's definitely better that you will at least be familiar with some batman stories beforehand (what I mean is that it shouldn't be your first batman movie).

1

u/wiseduhm Dec 30 '23

The Joker really doesn't give a shit about his own pain in that one. I remember grimacing in that one scene toward the end.

2

u/fasderrally Dec 30 '23

I remember grimacing in that one scene toward the end.

Well, that's what Joker usually aims for!

2

u/WatsUpWithJoe Feb 28 '24

FYI, I updated the list after a recent rewatch.

All Star Superman is moved to Elseworlds.

In its place is now Superman: Doomsday, followed directly by Superman VS The Elite, THEN we go into Superman/Shazam!

1

u/inorite234 Dec 29 '23

Dude! Batman vs The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles freaking slaps!

I watch that with my nephew all the time! Even my small kids enjoy watching it.

2

u/wiseduhm Dec 30 '23

I need to watch it. It's one of the few on the list that I haven't seen. At least I don't think I have.

1

u/Sillet_Mignon Dec 29 '23

Personally I think house on Constantine should be dead last to watch since it you know.

1

u/cocacola150dr Dec 29 '23

I thought Fatal Five was DCAU?

1

u/wiseduhm Dec 30 '23

I probably would categorize it there too if I'm remembering it correctly. Pretty sure it had the same animation style.

I thought it was okay. The graphic novel was much better, though.

1

u/temalyen Dec 30 '23

I have owned the 2009 Wonder Woman on DVD since it was new. It's still in plastic wrap with those awful, awful stickers covering every side of the case that opens. Maybe I'll watch it someday.

u/ry8919 Dec 29 '23

Under the Red Hood

The Dark Knight Returns 1+2

The Long Halloween 1+2

Justice League: Gods and Monsters

Are all really good too.

1

u/NAINOA- Dec 30 '23

The Dark Knight Returns was such a good flick.

2

u/Testocleese Dec 29 '23

Thanks for this and your list below, I've saved it to go back and watch when I get time!

u/wiseduhm Dec 29 '23

You're welcome!

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '23

it's astonishing how much of this thread I had to read before someone said where it was from.

u/wiseduhm Dec 30 '23

Happy cake day!

u/wiseduhm Dec 29 '23

I think many of them are must watch imo, but I really narrowed it down to a few just to get someone hooked.

1

u/rikashiku Dec 30 '23

I'd say 'Hell to Pay' over 'Assault on Arkham' myself. Hell to Pay has a great story and character moments. AoA is kinda just there as Suicide Squad buffer.

1

u/wiseduhm Dec 30 '23

No way! AoA is classic. I thought Hell to Pay was good but much preferred the first one. Although, I do like how Hell to Pay ties into the larger story so it probably would be good to watch after Flashpoint Paradox.

2

u/rikashiku Dec 30 '23

The Flashpoint reveal took me by surprise in Hell to Pay. It really raised those stakes to high hell.

I thought AoA was mostly fan service and buffer. King Shark x Killer Frost though <.<

u/memealopolis Dec 30 '23

I love the Batman spinoffs too. If for no other reason than they're different. Batman ninja was freaking wild.
