    Justice League War World’s ending confused me

    I am currently about 20 movies into my DCAMU and Tommorowverse binge watch and I’ve been loving it. The DCAMU was short lived but ended on a real high note imo. Now I might be a big dumb dumb but War Worlds ending was abrupt but I was confused about one thing. Do the big 3 ever fully get their memories back? There were scenes of them slowly piecing things together but I can’t tell if they actually fully remember who they are by the end of the movie. I heard in some YT video that they might be clones or that Wonder Woman was the same one from Justice Society. I didn’t hate the movie but I’m so confused about what the main characters remember and don’t remember

    DCAU and Tommorowverse order?

    I can’t find good list online, mainly looking for chronological, and if I’m not mistaken tommorowverse takes place AFTER the DCAU as some flash reset event? Thanks

    What should I know/expect before beginning my TomorrowVerse binge watch?

    My semester is about to end so I’ll probably try to begin the tomorrowverse. I loved all the dcamu films but I haven’t watched or heard a single thing about the tomorrowverse. Is it anywhere near as enjoyable as the dcamu films?

    Should There be An Absolute Batman Animated Movie? (And Beyond)

    So unless you haven't been paying attention to DC, they've started a new comic line called the Absolute Universe. Here, they've redone the classic heroes with radically different twists to their origins (yet staying true to the character). So far, we got:

    Absolute Superman: Sent to earth as an adult instead of a baby.

    Absolute Batman: Is now an engineer (instead of a billionare) who lost his father (Not his mother) to a criminal. Is seriously jacked up and apparently is childhood friends with much of this universe's soon-to-be rogues gallery.

    Absolute Wonder Woman: Raised in Hell instead of Themyscira

    Absolute Flash: All I know of this one is there's no Speed Force in this universe.

    Absolute Green Lantern: Not sure of the real differences besides apparently Hal, Guy, John, and Jo all become the Green Lanterns around the same time.

    There are all interesting takes, and I'd like to see how they will go. I don't think Absolute is supposed to replace the mainline DC universe (at least not permantely), but would be an alternate universe like Ultimate was to 616 Marvel.

    But anyway, I think after enough material and build up for it (like give it a year or two), I think they could do a series of animated films based on the Absolute Universe. They would be different from the ones from previous years.

    I think it should open with Absolute Batman, because...Batman. He would easily be the biggest draw to get people into that animated cinematic universe (Not that Superman couldn't, but generally Batman does a better job and such). Then, follow-up with an Absolute Superman movie, Wonderman, etc. Eventually maybe build up to the Absolute Justice League (after obviously the comics do)

    But what do you guys think?

    Can someone make a list of the best animated movies after Constantine House of Mystery?

    After house of mystery in struggling to find any lists of the best new DCAU movies.

    Bonus: make a chronological order too?! (There’s a chronological order for the old ones here if anyone’s interested: https://www.reddit.com/r/DCcomics/comments/11r76hl/what_is_the_correct_chronological_storyline_order/)

    Crisis on infite earths, why did Flash age?

    Now keep in mind, I'm not a comic book reader and I'm not too sure how the speed force works.

    But what I want to know, is why all of a sudden did the flash start aging because of 'flashtime'?.

    I know that when he and Iris were building that wave machine, real time was barley passing, but for them it was decades. So why does this only happen now and not when he runs across continents or something?

    It's just frustrating when time dilation suddenly has a affect when previously he could run across the entire planet a not age a single bit. Or ist it cause he was with Iris or something?

    Anyway, please answer for me!!!

    This scene in Justice League Animated got me thinking...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LxCbgTdSCU

    Since the Justice Lord version of Superman was able to reform criminals by lobotomizing them with his heat vision, that got me thinking: Why don't superheroes use mind control (preferably the type that rewrites peoples' minds) as a means of reforming and rehabilitating them? It'd be better than killing them or letting them keep on committing crimes.

    Opinions on favorite DC villian

    In my opinion Deathstroke is top DC villian easily my reasons being he has somewhat a moral compass actually deeply cares for his family but he has some normal and some odd ways to show it and he is badass and really good at his job. That's my opinion who is your guys favorite DC villian and why and if you don't agree or know something more about Deathstroke let me know ☺️ (note: I would like to clarify I'm referring to the Deathstroke in the Titans series not The teen Titans Go and not the teen Titans animated but show the live-action Titans)

    Thanks too the animated movie 2013 justice league: the flashpoint paradox we were given the new 52 universe and new movies. the films were

    Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox 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 The Death of Superman Reign of the Supermen Batman: Hush Wonder Woman: Bloodlines Justice League Dark: Apokolips War

    Crisis Part 3 - Tuning Towers

    Why are they not using the tuning / quantum towers in the bleed when they were getting attacked by the anti monitor? It was still an anti-matter wave they can phase through right? Was there not enough time to boot it up or power/resource issue?

    Recommendations for a newcomer?

    So I recently just started getting into the animated DC films. I'm more of a live-action person in general, but I've seen some clips from DC animated films that really got my interest, so I decided to give some a try and so far have not been disappointed.

    So far I have seen Justice League: Doom, The Crisis on Infinite Earth trilogy on Max, Batman: The Killing Joke, and Batman and Superman: Battle of the Supersons.

    I've enjoyed most of them so far (except for the killing joke, which I had high hopes for because I love the comic it's based on), but I wanted to get a sense of what the community/more experienced fans recommend. What's the best of the best when it comes to DC animated films?

    Tomorrowverse Movies - Earth-2 Characters Timeline and Ages

    I was wondering what the timeline for Earth-2 after the Justice Society Movie.

    I also wanted to know what the estimated ages of the newer generation of characters are like cameo characters Jade, Obsidian and Amazing Man.

    I know that Robin is supposed to be about the same age as Earth-1 Batman, but how about the other Bat Family Members from Earth-2? Is Batwing, Batgirl, Damian and Batman Beyond from the same Earth?

    I actually enjoyed the Crisis Films, and I am curious about the differences.

    Help with DCAMU Continuity – Missing Characters and Backstories

    Hi all, I’m watching through the DC Animated Movie Universe (DCAMU) and trying to follow the main storyline. I’ve watched up to Justice League vs. Teen Titans and am now on Justice League Dark. However, I feel like I’m missing something!

    Characters like Hawkman and a new Green Lantern (John Stewart) suddenly show up without much explanation. It’s making it hard to keep up since these changes and characters weren’t introduced in the movies I’ve seen so far.

    My question: Is there anything outside the main DCAMU movies that I should have watched to better understand these new characters and their backstories?

    I’d appreciate any recommended watch order that includes both the core DCAMU movies and any relevant extra shows or movies to fill in the gaps for characters like Hawkman and John Stewart. Thanks
