Rank the DC animated movies so far from best to worst


Not including the ones outside the DC Animated Universe Original Movies line (those would be movies like "Return of the Joker", "Mask of the Phantasm", "Mystery of the Batwoman", etc. etc).

For me, it's this:

1) Superman vs. The Elite
2) Batman: Under the Red Hood
3) Superman/Batman: Public Enemies
4) All Star Superman
5) Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths
6) Superman/Batman: Apocalypse
7) Justice League: Doom
8) Wonder Woman
9) Green Lantern: First Flight
10) Justice League: The New Frontier
11) Batman: Year One
12) Superman: Doomsday
13) Batman: Gotham Knight

(still haven't seen "Green Lantern: Emerald Knights").

How does it feel to be deconstructed?

For me I've liked all but a few thus far, the worst ones were, in no order:
All Star Superman-hated the ending,
Batman: Gotham Knight-Didn't care for the Chris Nolan inspiration, I like those films so far, but not too fond of 'ultra-grounded reality' approach
Green Lantern: Emerald Knights-it was so-so, I'd have to watch it again to see if my view has changed

I know that's not quite what the OP was asking for, just being honest.

My opinion seems to change from time to time, but as of now:

1) Batman: Under the Red Hood
2) Green Lantern: First Flight
3) Justice League: Doom
4) Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths
5) Superman/Batman: Public Enemies
6) Superman vs. The Elite
7) Superman/Batman: Apocalypse
8) Superman: Doomsday
9) All Star Superman
10) Wonder Woman
11) Batman: Year One
12) Justice League: The New Frontier
13) Batman: Gotham Knight

Haven't seen Emerald Knights yet either.

1) Batman: Under the Red Hood
Superior to its source material. Introduced a great new Voice Actor for Batman

2) Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths
Great Story, Animation, and Voice Acting. Can watch again and again

3) Green Lantern: First Flight
What the live action movie should have been

4) Justice League: Doom
Great return of the original JL Cast, fun story

5) Superman/Batman: Public Enemies
Great "buddy movie"

6) Batman: Year One
Great to see what is arguably the best Batman story done. However a little too faithful to the source material

7) Wonder Woman
Good movie, possibly the most violent one in this series

8) Superman/Batman: Apocalypse
More of a Superman/Supergirl movie. Batman is just along for the ride

9) Justice League: The New Frontier
Enjoyable, but takes a long time to get to the point

10) Superman: Doomsday
Suffers from the "TV guality" of animation.

11) Batman: Gotham Knight
Not a fan of the anime style.

12) Superman vs. The Elite
Bad character design ruined the film

13) Green Lantern: Emerald Knights
Had the look and feel of a sequel but was not. Was just okay

14) All Star Superman
Just plain bad. Most of the fault lies with the original source material, which I thoroughly disliked. Also suffers from inexplicably pulling in plot points from the comic, that serve no purpose to the ultimate story

Can't really rate them like this, but Superman vs The Elite was probably the best I've seen in a while.
Ok maybe some of our views abt killing bad guys may be different, but still it's good
