dc - In what order should Justice League movies be watched?


I've caught up with the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited TV Show. I intend to start watching the Justice League movies as well.


What is the suggest viewing order for the Justice League animated movies?



Answer




The same Wikipedia link that you mentioned also has the answer to this. Most of the films before the Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox doesn't share any continuity. Only few do, which are:


Superman/Batman This continuity is based on the Superman/Batman story line.



  • Superman/Batman: Public Enemies

  • Superman/Batman: Apocalypse


Justice League This continuity is based on the JLA (comic book) story lines published in 2000.



  • Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths

  • Justice League: Doom



Batman: Dark Knight Universe This continuity is based on Frank Miller's Batman (Dark Knight Universe).



  • Batman: The Dark Knight Returns – Part 1

  • Batman: The Dark Knight Returns – Part 2


Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox also works individually, but the ending set up a new universe similar to the comics. The film came after it severed the continuity and was called DC Animated Movie Universe:


This shared universe is based on The New 52 continuity.



  • Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox( End credit scene)


  • Justice League: War

  • Son of Batman

  • Justice League: Throne of Atlantis

  • Batman vs. Robin

  • Batman: Bad Blood

  • Justice League vs. Teen Titans

  • Justice League Dark

  • Teen Titans: The Judas Contract

  • Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay (upcoming)



Justice League: Gods and Monsters This universe takes place in an alternate universe and has no connection to any of the other films



  • Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles (web series)

  • Justice League: Gods and Monsters


Second season for Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles was in works but shelved for now:

The rest of the films mentioned in that Wikipedia link are standalone and can be watched in any order.


As you might already know, there are five Batman animated films in the DCAU. But they sever the continuity to DCAU and the order of the rest of the DCAU shared here.

story identification - Animation: floating island, flying pests

At least 20 years ago I watched a short animated film which stuck in my mind. The whole thing was wordless, possibly European, and I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it... It featured a flying island which was inhabited by some creatures who (in my memory) reminded me of the Moomins. The island was frequently bothered by large winged animals who swooped around, although I don't think they did any actual damage. At the end one of the moomin creatures suddenly gets a weird feeling, feels forced to climb to the top of the island and then plunges down a shaft right through the centre - only to emerge at the bottom as one of the flyers. Answer Skywhales from 1983. The story begins with a man warning the tribe of approaching skywhales. The drummers then warn everybody of the hunt as everyone get prepared to set "sail". Except one man is found in his home sleeping as the noise wake him up. He then gets ready and is about to take his weapon as he hesitates then decides ...

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

tolkiens legendarium - Did Gandalf wear his Ring of Power throughout the trilogy?

After Gandalf discovered that Sauron was back and sent Frodo on his quest to Rivendell, did he continue to wear Narya (one of the Three Rings)? It seems like a huge risk to continue to wear it after the Nazgûl (Ringwraiths) started to try and reclaim the One Ring; if they managed to get the ring to Sauron, couldn't he be corrupted by his power? Whatever powers Narya bestows upon him couldn't possibly be worth the huge risk, could it? Answer When Sauron forged the one ring and put it on his finger, the other ring bearers were immediately aware of him and his intentions and removed their own rings. There is no reason why they couldn't merely do so again. As soon as Sauron set the One Ring upon his finger they were aware of him; and they knew him, and preceived that he would be master of them, and of all they wrought. Then in anger and fear they took off their rings. "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age," Silmarillion
