New Animated Line

[Franny6422]

Are we about to be given a new continuity, a new shared universe? What are people's thoughts? Is this what is about to happen? If so' what are expectations?

[Jackalope89]

So far, the only things that have dropped are things like out of continuity/stand alone films.

Personally, if they do a new continuity, I would like to see other characters brought in that were previously left out. Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Jon Kent, etc. They don't necessarily need to redo Under the Red Hood or anything, maybe a quick reference as the 2010 film was good as is. But to at least include them in the same continuity would be a good start.

I think a new continuity/shared universe is inevitable eventually - but I don't believe the currently known upcoming movies (Superman: Man of Tomorrow, Batman: The Long Halloween) are going to be a part if it. So we'll just have to wait and see what announcements they make.

I'd prefer they go back to just standalone films or adapting particular stories. Though I guess a problem by this point is a question of what big name stuff is left to adapt, at least for the ones they consistently use (Batman, Justice League, and Superman).

I mean I personally want to see Injustice or DCeased animated films, so if we see stuff like that I’d personally be fine with stand alone movies.

Oh yes put me down for a DCeased and/or Injustice movie [also Injustice2 v Masters of the Universe would be great but I don't just want stand alone's.

I want a mix of both.
Watching the characters grow and develop as the movies progressed was special. Something we haven't had even in the live action.

There's no reason why we can't have both stand alone's and shared universe stuff.

Yeah, We have a new continuity, And it becomes a new shared universe is inevitable imo.

[Vakanai]

Oh I forgot to say my opinion/thoughts on this - While I think a new shared universe is inevitable, I'd prefer if they didn't do it. Their best animated films have not been part of a shared continuity so far. For the past few years I've only been looking forward to the standalone films. Just focus on making great adaptations again, save continuity for after you've nailed making superior films again.

[superduperman]

Unless the new Superman movie is the beginning of it, we don't know what's coming next. Given the way JLDA ended, it's reasonable to surmise that they will start a new shared universe but for now, there's no way to know.

[j9ac9k]

I'd rather they do stand-alones with different animation styles that fit the character - essentially what they did for a bit with the short films, but longer. I can't see them doing it though, since WB feels a need to make 99% of animations JL or Trinity related.

All this.

A shared continuity is great. That's a big part of the appeal of DC and Marvel. But I'd rather they focus on making quality stories that lean heavily into the strengths of the singular IP's, instead of having to fit everything into a larger narrative.

Hopefully we'll get a bit of both; some that stand on their own, some that connect together. But I feel like the obsession with shared continuity is ultimately detrimental.

[achilles]

I wouldn't mind a mix of the two, but what I really want is for less League, Trinity, GL, Titans, and Flash stuff and more with the characters they've never featured or featured only once. DC is more than just those characters.

Shaking my head. How can one watch such empty pieces of crap and get an emotional response from them? As if they had done something touching with the characters.
