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 1993 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

[edit]
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, 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]
