In my personal opinion the best DC animated movie is, Batman: The Mask of the Phantasm and Green Lantern: First Flight is the second best. It had a great short origin story and all the action and fantasy a DC movie should have. I hope the theatrical version next year will be equally or better made, like this.
What does this last comment mean? All of the DC Universe Animated Original Movies from Superman/Doomsday to the present have been rated PG-13 -- including the new one Batman: Under the Red Hood which has been getting the best reviews that I've seen since Mask of the Phantasm. Hell, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (Uncut) was PG-13. What's your beef?

Well I wrote this post before "Batman - Under the Red Hood" so I didn't have an opinion on that. Now I agree with you. Under the red Hood is the second best. I consider "Batman Beyond - Return of the Joker" to be on top 5 as well as "Superman/Batman - Apocalypse"

1. Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) 2. Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (2000) 3. Wonder Woman (2009) 4. Green Lantern: First Flight (2009)
Every one of them good value.
I hope the Green Lantern live action movie will be good too.
Has anyone else forgotten Batman Gotham Knight...While it was a little different because of all the stories, it was such a different way that DC presented Batman. I really enjoyed that one.
