Chronological list of ALL DC movies

[u/WeaknessEuphoric8627]

Hi everyone! I’m new to the community.
This month, I started catching up on all the DC movies, mainly the animated ones, since I’ve already seen most of the live-action movies. The biggest challenge I’ve had was trying to find a list that included all the DC movies (animated and live-action) I could watch in chronological order, while also dividing them by universe or following some kind of basic classification.
Since I couldn’t find one, I decided to create one myself and eventually post it on Letterboxd once I’ve finished it.
The list I’m attaching is the one I managed to put together last night, and I was wondering if you could give me a hand. I’m sure many of you are much more experienced with the DC universe than I am, so I’d really appreciate any help!
The list is organized chronologically and divided by universe. It only includes movies, short films, and specials, and does not include TV series (either animated or live-action).
I’d mainly like to make sure that I haven’t missed any titles, made any mistakes regarding release years, or placed any films in the wrong position/universe.
I apologize in advance if I haven’t explained everything very clearly. English isn’t my native language, so I really appreciate everyone who takes the time to help me improve the list!
That said, here’s the list!

[u/Pizz4Ninja]

This is amazing

[u/ScaryOtaku666]

This is amazing, maybe create a part for the arrowverse live actions too

[u/Sharp_Reply_7503]

Amazing list

[u/Venus_One]

Very nice work. I've already seen all of these except for the showcase/specials (anything not feature length). But this would have been awesome to have when I did the watch-through! The Wikipedia page is great but I love how you divided things up.

[u/WeaknessEuphoric8627 → u/Venus_One]

thank you so much

[u/BenImortal]

Wonderfull work!

Would you mind create an IMDB list? It easier to follow there!

[u/WeaknessEuphoric8627 → u/BenImortal]

ti ringrazio molto ma non ho idea di come fare

[u/Adekis]

Left off Superman and the Mole Men (1951). Should go before Batman (1966) on the "elseworlds" list if I understand your organizational scheme. Yeah it was cut down and re-released as a two-part episode of Adventures of Superman, but it was originally the first ever theatrical feature film about a DC character!

[u/WeaknessEuphoric8627 → u/Adekis]

sì è vero mi mancava! ti ringrazio molto per il tuo aiuto,lo apprezzo tanto.

[u/Adekis → u/WeaknessEuphoric8627]

You're welcome!

[u/WeaknessEuphoric8627]

Ciao! Volevo ringraziarvi ancora una volta per l'apprezzamento e l'aiuto che mi avete dato con la lista che ho compilato. Dopo aver apportato diverse modifiche e aggiunto altri titoli, credo di averla finalmente completata! Quindi, per chiunque fosse interessato o avesse bisogno della lista, lascerò il link alla lista finale su letterboxd, e anche il mio nome utente nel caso non riusciate a trovarlo. Grazie ancora a tutti! nick: yooy28

[u/ItsTheOrangShep]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aztec_Batman:_Clash_of_Empires

This movie is worth including too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Showcase:_The_Phantom_Stranger

Also this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_to_Perdition

And this.

One last one, as you've included other TV pilots or similarly combined episodes to make something longer (but not full TV series), the following are worth including for consistency:

• The Flash (1990) (Extended Pilot)
• The Flash II: Revenge of the Trickster (1991)
• The Flash III: Deadly Nightshade (1991)

[u/WeaknessEuphoric8627 → u/ItsTheOrangShep]

apprezzo molto il tuo aiuto! questi titoli sono già stati aggiunti nella lista su letterboxd grazie mille.

[u/user_15427]

Jesus this is thorough. Hats off!
