I am a HUGE fan of animated CBMs. My only issues with them are:

• length - A lot of these stories feel a little rushed while they could easily hold a full live action movie time scale.
• Mavel - has upped their game slightly but still needs to throw more titles out there.
• characters - yes, Superman and Batman are fantastic and I won't ask for less from these two, but we need more titles from lesser known heroes.


As far as your list goes, love them all but Under The Red Hood is number one for me.

I wasn't a huge fan of Justice League a new Frontier. I enjoyed under the red hood better. I do agree with your number one pick it is one of the best Batman movies ever.

Wouldnt agree with ya man, but cool enough list!
I didn't like Planet Hulk at allll lol, thought it was really bad. And Gotham Knights wasn't great.
Batman: Under the Red Hood is best by farrrr in my opinion!
Also Hulk Vs Wolverine was class, and had an awesome Deadpool that was hilarious.
And Crisis on Two Earths, very cool.

Justice on Two worlds was way better that any of the Batman/Superman ones.. i personally thought both of those sucked

3/5 not bad. "Planet Hulk" was dull and "Gotham Knight" was slow and kind of boring.

"Ultimate Avengers" was a good update. I thought both Wonder Woman and Green Lantern were surprisingly good. "Doctor Strange," too, proved interesting.
