In the beginning, there were Creator/DCComics heroes, and it was good. Then there were the ''WEsternAnimation/SuperFriends'' and [[DCComicsAnimated similar shows]], and the public was exposed to some of their favorite heroes in animation for the first time. In TheNineties we were introduced to them all over again with the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse. Now we have the next era of animated excitement for Batman, Superman, and company, going DirectToVideo -- though the consistent high production values make them akin to OriginalVideoAnimation in the {{anime}} field instead of what "direct-to-video" [[{{Shovelware}} usually implies]] in the West.

Most of the DC Universe Animated Original Movies have the advantage of having independent continuities, allowing the creative team of each to experiment with new voice actors, art styles, and so forth. This approach has been criticized, particularly if a certain portrayal of a character is popular with viewers, only for it never to be seen again as continuity reboots once more with the next film. But considering most of the DCU films are based upon standalone graphic novels and miniseries like ''ComicBook/DCTheNewFrontier'' and ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns'' - which themselves often existed in independent continuities - this is perhaps unavoidable. Starting with ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueWar'', most of the films take place after each other.
