DC is Far Superior in this world to Marvel - better animation (usually) and way better voice - even when they stray from Conroy as Batman or Tim Daly as Supes (tho Newbern is equal)
Superman: Doomsday - B- its decent - the violence level is up there a little and that helps but the animation is a little weak
Justice League: The New Frontier - B I liked the idea the old time costumes take a little getting used to but pretty good project
Batman: Gotham Knight - A- not all vignettes are equal but 6 great animae directors makes this some visually cool stuff
Wonder Woman B- - animation style really bothered me - Keri Russell was meh but good use of Fillion they still struggle to write her good stories
Green Lantern: First Flight - B+ Good origin and fun story and good pacing (tho they hadn’t figured out yet Nathon Fillion IS Hal)
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies - A (Conry/Daly and Clancy - epicness)
Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths - A-/B+ - It’s a good story and Owlman is nice touch - but not Conroy always bothers me a little
Batman: Under the Red Hood - B+ - Nice dark story and I Greenwood might be the only voice I LIKE other than Conroy but this is dark and good story
Superman/Batman: Apocalypse - A+ Apocalypse (Bauger awesome) and Daly and Conroy together again and the battle at the end is EPIC
DC Showcase Original Shorts Collection - C+ for Shazam main toon but Solid B+ across the board for the shorts for Spectre, GA and Jonah Hex
All-Star Superman - B - pretty good story and some nice twists on classic characters
Green Lantern: Emerald Knights - B (A for Fillion as Jordan) but good view into the GLC
Batman: Year One - B - A little slow at times but a very good rendition of the 1987 story line if a little dated for some
Justice League: Doom - A+ (maybe one of the best) Loosely tied to JLA Babel story but someone steals batman’s info on HOW to beat JLA great stuff..and all the best voices... Conroy (Bats), Da;y (supes) Eisenberg (WW), Fillion (GL), Lumbley (Martian) and Rosenbaum (Flash) same voices as JL and JLU cartoons
Superman vs. The Elite - C+ - OK and Newbern works but seemed sort of throw away to me
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns – Part 1
Batman: The Dark Knight Returns – Part 2 - B for both - Batman/Joker and Frank Miller...good stuff just Peter Wellers voice grates as Batman
Superman: Unbound - C - Matt Bomer ok as Supes but expected more of a Braniac story
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox - A- - love alternate reality stuff and this is good Wish Rosenbaum has been available but also has Dan Delany (LOIS forever) and Conroy and Fillion - great story
Coming Justice League WAR (new 52)
Marvel
Ultimate Avengers
Ultimate Avengers 2 - B+ - both of these are pretty good starts - good action and animation is better than usual
The Invincible Iron Man - C - Meh sorta bland and animation weak and broken in places
Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme - B- - Love Dr S but also bad animation in places and OK story
Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow - B I liked this - Old Hulk still crankiest there is
Hulk Vs - A-/A the Minus is for Hulk/Thor some good stuff and fun but the vs Wolverine is awesome and epic with Deadpool bonus!
Planet Hulk - B - good portrayal of this story line and decent animation
Thor: Tales of Asgard - C- - Meh teen Thor blech
Marvel Animae
If you like Animae - Wolverine, X-Men and Iron Man all Solid B+ to A- sets
Waiting to watch Blade
If you dont like Animae you will like the stories but will bug you visually
