To be as successful as Disney and Pixar, they would need to expand the target audience.

I'll admit I generally adore D.C. Animation, and would love more of it. But, while I acknowledge the lack of coherent plot in Suicide Squad and the fact that there were a few scenes in all three movies that could've been done better, I love the DCEU, and I know it's controversial but I think BvS was an absolute masterpiece when you look at the ultimate edition, so I want that tone to continue as well

You need to be more specific. What kind of animated films? Films ultra cartoony like Finding Dory or CGI films like Toy Story? Because there have been lots of DC animated films made over the years in the style of the Originally Posted by Aphrodite's Champion
TV animated shows. And there is the Lego Batman movie coming out in a few days.

I've said before they should start doing some CGI "family" films. Some characters would really lend themselves to it, like Plastic Man or Metal Men. Originally Posted by Osiris-Rex

Those are great shouts. And characters that wouldn't necessarily be "missed" by most in a live-action lineup. Not that I wouldn't love seeing PM shapeshifting among real objects. Originally Posted by Air Wave

I don't see why not.
They've already had multiple successes in the direct-to-DVD movie market, and the films for Batman: The Animated Series are well-regarded

Gotham Academy would be a great choice for an animated film for theaters.

You mean CGI films? That could work, pretty much any character would look good in a Arkham style animated universe. Plus, I always like their animations, mostly because one can do more than with live action.
Or if you're talking about more family friendly films... I don't see why not. No portrayal is a waste unless it's really bad, and most DC characters can do family without losing their core.
I think a cartoon would be good too.Gotham Academy would be a great choice for an animated film for theaters.
