Talk:DC Universe Animated Original Movies

Deathstroke knights and dragons....

Is it in the Tomorrowverse? Or where does it land? 2605:B100:34D:BA00:0:1:508A:1E01 (talk) 20:33, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

I agree, why is it not at least in Stand Alone? 2404:4408:7A19:5C00:281A:689A:3AEE:668 (talk) 11:06, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen

I see this being added and removed over and over again. Stop having a silent, passive-aggressive fight about it and actually provide evidence that it IS or ISN'T part of DCUAOM. JohnStartop (talk) 16:08, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Watchmen

One of the existing references for the upcoming film contained an imbedded Twitter image from Warner Bros., which has since been depreciated and is now broken. I have added a more current link with the image, which bills the film as a "DC Animated Movie." – Zntrip 06:44, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

DC Animated Movie is NOT a DC Universe movie. That label has been used consistently since Doomsday and is not used in the promotional materials for Watchmen. 2600:4040:5DDE:2500:902F:8C56:9FF9:A31C (talk) 20:54, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

The very first sentence of this page says "or DC Animated Movies"!

Also, Watchmen Chapter I and II ARE part of this line, as stated in many sources such as:

• https://www.cinemablend.com/superheroes/dc-animated-watchmen-exciting-first-trailer-big-concern
• https://www.atomicgeekdom.com/blog/the-end-of-the-tomorrowverse-and-the-future-of-the-dc-animated-original-movies
• https://animationhistorian.wordpress.com/category/direct-to-video/

And less official sources that show community opinion on it:

• https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/DC_Universe_Animated_Original_Movies
• https://twitter.com/MrDreadsX/status/1796690013729558737
• https://community.cbr.com/showthread.php?68931-DC-Animated-Original-Movies-Discussion/page164 (The main CBR thread about the DCUAOM, where Watchmen Chapter 1 is discussed starting at page 153 and on through 164 where it is now)

It is not in the DCAU or DCAMU, but it seems clear that it is part of the DCUAOM which covers the vast majority of the WB Animated division superhero movies.

This anonymous user seems to be the only person who believes that the new Watchmen films don't belong on this page, and they seem to be basing that belief solely on the wording used the images in the original Comic-Con announcement in 2023 where Watchmen Chapter I was labeled as a "DC Animated Movie" and Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths was labeled as a "DC Universe Movie".

However, it seems painfully clear to me that WB simply used those labels to indicate that the Justice League films were going to be in the shared Tomorrowverse "universe" and the Watchmen films were standalone. (which was immediately understood by most fans, such as the very first reply on this thread)

But those standalone movies are still considered part of this "DC Universe Animated Original Movies" category, because virtually every single DC Comics animated film is in this category! This is not a shared universe, it is simply a list of animated films produced by DC Comics in the current era.

That is why so many users have attempted to add Watchmen to this page, only for it to be reverted again and again by this anonymous user.

Meanwhile, it continues to be listed and discussed as a DCUAOM movie in the same places as all the other DCUAOM movies are listed/discussed:

• https://www.amazon.com/Watchmen-Chapter-1-Blu-Ray-Digital/dp/B0D699G68J/ (listed among the other DCUAOM discs and has a nearly identical back cover design)

The sources support the inclusion in the list. It literally says "DC Animated Movie" in the promotional materials, that are listed in the source I added to the article. "DC Animated Movie" is in the lead of this article as one of the names of this film series. I've restored the entries. – Zntrip 05:10, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Constantine: City of Demons

Constantine: City of Demons indicates that "It is the 34th film in the DC Universe Animated Original Movies" while many of the DCUAOMs after it continuing counting from 35. While it was released as a film, it wasn't originally one. Is there a source confirming that this compiled film is part of the DCUAOM line, and which pages need to be corrected?
