Another notable aspect of the films is that some are more DarkerAndEdgier than any preceding animation. PG-13 ratings for violence are common and sensuality is ramped up as well. Several films have come close to being rated R before edits, but only six films and one short have gotten the R rating so far.

Several of these animated works reflect the individual artists of their comic book sources (Darwyn Cooke for ''The New Frontier'' and Creator/FrankMiller for ''The Dark Knight Returns''); ''WesternAnimation/BatmanGothamKnight'' was an AnthologyFilm produced by multiple {{anime}} studios. Other works show [[TimmStyle strong influence]] from Creator/BruceTimm, the main artist behind the DCAU who maintains a supervisor/producer role and returns to art duties for a few of them. The New 52-based films and the ''DC Showcase'' shorts (a companion series usually included as bonus items on the DVD and Blu-ray releases) have a consistent blend of TimmStyle and {{Animesque}} mainly from artist Phil Bourassa, who also did the ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'' animated series, often paired with the animation of companies like Creator/DrMovie, Creator/MoiAnimation, Creator/Studio4C and Creator/TheAnswerStudio.
