* TheStinger: As is customary for shared superhero movie universes, some of these films have a post-credits scene which floats a possibility for a future film or briefly expands on the consequences of this film's conclusion. ''The Flashpoint Paradox''[='=]s show Parademons flying out of a Boom Tube, leading into ''War''; ''War'' seeing Ocean Master declaring war against the "surface dwellers", leading into ''Throne of Atlantis''; ''[=JLvTT=]'' seeing Terra arrive at Titans Tower, setting up ''The Judas Contract''; and ''Reign'' seeing the League plan to fight Darkseid, leading into ''Apokolips War''. The three items in "Aborted Arc" were also in stingers.

** WordOfGod is that the Robin identity went from Dick directly to Damian in this universe.

The DC Animated Movie Universe is a SharedUniverse that exists as part of the WesternAnimation/DCUniverseAnimatedOriginalMovies line starting in 2014. All movies in the line originally existed in their own continuity, but due to a desire to create a shared setting that mirrors the comics, movies set in this universe have become increasingly common.

In many ways, it's the DarkerAndEdgier SpiritualSuccessor to the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse, being that it's also a shared universe with a colorful art style, epic plots, top of the line voice talent, and a mix of both comic accuracy with original storytelling. That said, because it's direct-to-video, [[DoingItForTheArt it doesn't have to cater to]] [[ExecutiveMeddling basic cable or network television standards]]. This means, like the majority of the Animated Original Movies line, the films feature intense and graphic violence, frequent uses of swearing, an increased focus on sensuality, and the exploration of themes darker than what could ever be done on children's television or even some of DC's general audience works.

Like its concurrent [[Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse live-action universe]], this continuity has yet to receive an official name, so [[FanNickname we're giving it one for convenience.]] The first few films were often called the "Animated ComicBook/New52 Universe" or something similar because of the heavy influence from said comics. But as further films were made, they were allowed greater freedom to adapt other DC eras like ''ComicBook/PostCrisis'' and ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'', as well as add original ideas. This has allowed the films to avoid being an UnintentionalPeriodPiece for the now-superseded New 52, and to create a unique mythos of their own.

* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueWar'' (2014)

* AdaptedOut: Green Arrow is noticeably absent, despite his sidekick Speedy being presented as a former member of the Teen Titans.

* DarkerAndEdgier: The DCAMU is what happens when the DCAU isn't held back by censors and the creators take full advantage of that. Three of the franchise's movies (''Dark'', ''Hell to Pay'', and ''Apokolips War'') are "R"-rated and are far more violent and gory than any previous DC animation.

* TheStinger: As is customary for shared superhero movie universes, some of these films have a post-credits scene which floats a possibility for a future film or briefly expands on the consequences of this film's conclusion. Three are mentioned under AbortedArc, but four movies' stingers did come to past (''The Flashpoint Paradox''[='=]s show Parademons flying out of a Boom Tube, leading into ''War''; ''War'' seeing Ocean Master swear revenge, leading into ''Throne of Atlantis''; ''[=JLvTT=]'' seeing Terra arrive at Titans Tower, setting up ''The Judas Contract''; and ''Reign'' seeing the League plan to fight Darkseid, leading into ''Apokolips War'').

* AnimatedAdaptation: Of course, but as the fact its original FanNickname was "DC Animated New 52", its earliest films drew on [[ComicBook/New52 that namesake]] (''War'' based on the first New 52 ''ComicBook/{{Justice League|2011}}'' arc "Origins", ''Throne of Atlantis'' and ''Dark'' [[ComicBook/ThroneOfAtlantis on their]] [[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueDark respective namesakes]], and ''Batman Vs. Robin'' based in part on ''ComicBook/NightOfTheOwls'', the Batwing used being Luke Fox), as well as ''ComicBook/GrantMorrisonsBatman'' (''Son of Batman'' based on the first arc, "Batman and Son"; ''Vs. Robin'' having Bruce [[spoiler:hallucinate Damian as an evil Batman in a BadFuture, first seen in ''Batman'' Vol. 1, #666]]; and ''Bad Blood'' based on ''Batman and Robin'' and ''Batman Incorporated'').

* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueDarkApokolipsWar'' (2020): The GrandFinale of this continuity, with the story revolving around Superman, John Constantine and Raven joining forces after Darkseid conquers Earth following a failed invasion of Apokolips.

* TheStinger: As is customary for shared superhero movie universes, some of these films have a post-credits scene which floats a possibility for a future film or briefly expands on the consequences of this film's conclusion.
