DC Universe Animated Original Movies
Film series
The DC Universe Animated Original Movies (DCUAOM ; also known as DC Universe Original Movies or DC Universe Movies or DC Animated Movies ) are a series of American direct-to-video superhero animated films based on DC Comics characters and stories. From 2007 to 2022, films were produced primarily by Warner Bros. Animation but subsequently fell under DC Studios . Many films are usually stand-alone projects that are either adaptations of popular works or original stories.
From 2013 to 2024, the DC Animated Movie Universe was a subset of this series. The first story arc featured several films that took place in a shared universe, influenced predominantly by "The New 52 ". Following the first arc's conclusion with Justice League Dark: Apokolips War (2020), the "Tomorrowverse" series was launched beginning with Superman: Man of Tomorrow that same year and ended with a three-part trilogy, Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths (2024). As of 2023, the DCUAOM line released 51 movies that made a total of $253 million in sales in the United States and Canada, an average of $5.4 million per film.[ 1]
Premise
Original logo from 2007 to 2012
Unlike earlier animated DC films (most of which also involved Bruce Timm and were part of the DC Animated Universe ), the films in the line are aimed at a more adult audience, often containing profane language, stronger violence, sexual scenes, and more mature themes. The art styles for the films are also generally more realistically proportionate. The majority of the films are rated PG-13 by the MPAA except All-Star Superman and Green Lantern: Emerald Knights , which are rated PG, and Batman: The Killing Joke , Justice League Dark , Batman: Gotham by Gaslight , Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay , Justice League Dark: Apokolips War , Batman: Soul of the Dragon , Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two , Injustice , and Justice League: Warworld , which are rated R. Many of the films are adapted from stories originally featured in DC print comics and graphic novels. As of 2024[update] , 53 feature films and fourteen short films have been released.
In terms of continuity, the films are usually stand-alone, with exceptions being Superman/Batman: Public Enemies and its sequel Superman/Batman: Apocalypse , Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths and its sequel Justice League: Doom , the DC Animated Movie Universe and its "Tomorrowverse" arc.
From 2007 to 2015, most of the films were voice-directed by Andrea Romano , the last one being Justice League: Gods and Monsters . Then from 2016 to 2024, duties were handed to Wes Gleason, starting with Batman: Bad Blood up until the three-part Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths trilogy.
The films are generally released direct-to-video, but Batman: The Killing Joke , Batman and Harley Quinn , The Death of Superman and Reign of the Supermen were also given limited releases in theaters.[ 2]

Other projects
Unannounced projects
Beyond the list of announced projects, creators involved in various levels at DC Comics have brought up names of possible future projects.
Bruce Timm has said that he would like to do a full-length animated Green Arrow film following the positive reception of DC Showcase: Green Arrow .[ 26]
DC's ex-executive editor Dan DiDio has expressed interest in seeing the popular 2007–2008 Sinestro Corps War comic storyline adapted.[ 27]
In 2009, Timm also expressed his interest to make an animated JLA/Avengers adaptation.[ 28]
Geoff Johns revealed that Warner Bros. would like to use unproduced screenplays as a basis for new animated films, such as J. J. Abrams ' Superman: Flyby .[ 29]
Producer James Tucker has spoken about wanting a Wonder Woman -centered Justice League film.[ 30]
At Comic-Con, Timm also had expressed interest in an animated adaptation of the Batman R.I.P. storyline.[ 31]
Batman: The Killing Joke screenwriter Brian Azzarello had stated that he would like to adapt his graphic novel Joker into an animated film.[ 32]
Timm has mentioned that another Batman Beyond film is a possibility,[ 33] and in August 2017, Tucker stated in his Twitter account that discussions about a possible Batman Beyond film occur several times at the studio,[ 34] while he also stated that a potential Static Shock film set in the DC Animated Universe is possible as the studio is always interested in Static .[ 35]
J. M. DeMatteis expressed interest in scripting an adaptation of his Batman story arc Going Sane and a New Gods film set in the DC Animated Movie Universe .[ 36] [ 37] This partially came into play with the film Justice League: Gods and Monsters , visually and aesthetically invoking the DCAU, confirmed to be in an alternate timeline to it.
Filmmaker and comic book writer Kevin Smith mentioned at Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo that he met with Johns, where he pitched an animated Plastic Man film that he wrote for DC.[ 38]
An animated film featuring characters from the Milestone Media imprint was announced at DC Fandome in October 2021. The film was set to be written by Brandon Thomas and will feature "more than one character" according to Milestone co-founder Denys Cowan . The announcement included promotional concept art of Static , Hardware , Icon , and Rocket .[ 39]
Cancelled projects
Plans for sequels to the 2009 films Wonder Woman and Green Lantern: First Flight were shelved, as well as a planned film based on the 2003 miniseries Batgirl: Year One . Slower sales of the Wonder Woman film were cited,[ 40] [ 41] although sales figures indicate that it was at least the #8 best-selling of the 25 DC Universe films released as of August 2015[update] (4 of the films that ranked higher than it include Blu-ray sales which have not been released for Wonder Woman ).
In 2010, Timm stated that the production team originally planned to make an Aquaman film,[ 42] but at the end, the executives of Warner Bros. cancelled the project because their expectations about marketing were very low.[ 43]
During an interview in October 2016, Jay Oliva revealed that he had an idea for a sequel to Batman: Assault on Arkham ,[ 44] but following Oliva's departure from Warner Bros. Animation in 2017,[ 45] as well as the film's apparent decanonization in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League , the project may have been pulled.
In 2023, the creative team for Justice League: Warworld planned to develop a film adaptation of the Kingdom Come comic book mini-series, but the idea was discarded by James Gunn and Peter Safran after they were named CEOs of DC Studios .[ 46]

Flashpoint kind of was the old universe, and at the end we hinted at the New 52 universe. I'm hoping that somewhere down the line, we can do some other films that will hopefully connect the events from Flashpoint into Justice League: War and any other films we do in the New 52 universe, which would be kind of cool.
