Crisis and Doom are two of my favorites, I think I just like all the action (especially that Owlman/Batman fight scene)! Also, Phil Bourassa's character designs are excellent in Crisis. Apparently there is going to be another Justice League film, Justice League: Flashpoint, which sounds promising.

The Superman/Batman movies are pretty fun too. Not excellent story telling, but Apocalypse is another of my favorite DC movies.

Just wondering, how do you watch the films? There are - ways - that you can watch them without them stopping.

Anyway, I'm gonna go ahead and list the Premiere movies in order of which I think are best;


 * 1) Batman: Year One: absolutely fantastic, I highly recommend it. It's fun watching it and seeing how much Nolan took from the comics for The Dark Knight trilogy.
 * 2) Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths: was the first I saw, and is so much fun. Another fantastic movie.
 * 3) Justice League: The New Frontier: is so good, I feel with some tweaking it could make a good live-action film. It's so unique, in that it's set post-Vietnam War. It's like a mix of The Incredibles and Watchmen. Brilliant.
 * 4) Superman VS The Elite: is the most recent film, and poses some really interesting questions. I really don't like Superman in general, but I thoroughly enjoyed this.
 * 5) Justice League: Doom: the reason I love this is because it feels like someone's taken three episodes of the old Justice League series and edited it into movie format. Animation a bit botchy, but movie is excellent nonetheless.
 * 6) Batman: Under the Red Hood: I just want to curl up and cry when I watch this. I love the story, I love the failed Batman, I love the relationship between Jason and Bruce. Another movie that should be reinterpreted in live-action.
 * 7) Superman/Batman: Apocalypse: this is one of the movies I love but I shouldn't. Everyone else hated it! I just love the Trinity sans the Justice League, and I don't care what everyone else says, I liked the character designs! :P
 * 8) Superman/Batman: Public Enemies: fun, I hate the character designs though. They just look like balloons. The plot is okay, I just feel like the film needs something more.
 * 9) Green Lantern: First Flight: this is where my reviews start to go down... I prefer this to the live-action Green Lantern. It's a good installment, but I sometimes felt like I was watching an episode of Buzz Lightyear: Star Command...
 * 10) Wonder Woman: it's good, I enjoyed it, but it just doesn't have that "WOW factor" that the others do. It works, the animation is nice, you'll enjoy it, but you won't have that feeling of "I want to watch it again". I've only revisited it twice.
 * 11) Superman: Doomsday: yeah, I'm not a Superman fan. In saying that, it's a good movie, I just don't have an interest in it, and the pacing feels off to me. You might like it.
 * 12) Batman: Gotham Knight: I see what they were going for here, and I appreciate it, but this kind of storytelling just doesn't interest me. It's made as though it could fit in the Nolanverse, but still, I prefer a more narrative structure.
 * 13) Green Lantern: Emerald Knights: is a movie you want to end about halfway through. This would have worked much better if it was just a series of shorts like Batman: Gotham Knight, it didn't have to be tied together with Hal and that female Lantern.
 * 14) All-Star Superman: this movie is actually a mess. It seems like someone's taken a 20 episode television series, and picked their favorite scenes, and thrown them together for this nonsense. I liked the last four or five lines. That's it.

So even though some got bad reviews, try and watch all of them. You might like the ones I don't, heck, you might love them! Also, I'd expect that Superman VS The Elite will drop a few places, it might only be up there because it's new, and I haven't seen it to death yet.
