Shazam had an epic death
Again, it's not an either/or situation. You can have great stuff stemming from corporate mandates, as we got with Batman Beyond, but it can't be the primary force behind the creative endeavor. Unfortunately, despite some bright spots here and there, this shared animated continuity always felt stunted because it wasn't being driven by creative choices, but by the corporate bean counters. James Tucker's recent Word Balloon interview laid it out pretty clearly, although he was careful not to point any fingers. I applaud Tucker and company for being able to produce some pretty decent stuff given the situation they were saddled with, but that doesn't make this whole thing a creative success story in my books.
If these movies worked for you, great. I'm glad you enjoyed them. I really dug a handful of them, too, like the first Death of Superman and Bloodlines, but I think the creative team were stuck trying to build on a shaky foundation from the get go. They tried valiantly to course correct, but it simply didn't work for the most part.
that film was really like a supervillain's wet dream. I thought Emperor Palpatine and Thanos had the most epic victories in villain history. But Darkseid might take it.
The J-man
I am up to Death of Superman got some catching up to do lol. Anyone tell me which films aren't in continuity?
BvR is probably my fav so far in this universe.
"Yes...Mondo Cool"- Vegeta.
The non continuity movies after Death of Superman are;
JL fatal Five
Batman v TMNT
Wonder Woman BloodLines
Superman Red Son
that's it.
Reign of Superman, Hush and JLD Apokolpis War are set in this universe.

I'm seeing a lot of favorable comments like this on twitter about the new JL Dark movie. Also hearing Superman is done well in it. Yay, can't wait for the blu-ray.
"I just finished Justice League Dark:Apokolips War with (10/10)
The movie directly picks from Reign of Superman where the league decides to march an attack on Apokolips to end Darkseid's invasions.The movies is amazing with lots of unexpected turns and brutality.what a masterpiece"
Maybe the creators just didn't have an idea for it? He did get a Lego movie.
I agree some of the movies they had to make definitely came down high from WB (not that that was necessarily a bad thing since we got Bloodlines out of it) but I don't think that prevented the line from being driven by the creators to some extent. There were too many films in this continuity for that to have not happened in my opinion.
I thought it did, but to each their own.If these movies worked for you, great. I'm glad you enjoyed them. I really dug a handful of them, too, like the first Death of Superman and Bloodlines, but I think the creative team were stuck trying to build on a shaky foundation from the get go. They tried valiantly to course correct, but it simply didn't work for the most part.
Trigon rules Earth? I thought he's in his own dimension. But then again I haven't been following these movies.
I would loved to see Black Adam, Shaggy Man, Chemo, Grundy, Vandal Savage, any of the big brutes who are actually on Earth team-up and take on Darkseid.
