New Frontier is just a worse version of the comic. All Star Superman too. They're probably still the best ones, though, because the comics they're based on are so strong and have such striking imagery.

The two that I've seen most recently, Justice League vs. Teen Titans and Wonder Woman, were pretty bad. Teen Titans was made in 2016 but for some reason featured a ten minute long Dance Dance Revolution scene. And Wonder Woman made the bold creative decisions that Steve Trevor should be an rear end in a top hat, Paradise Island should actually be terrible, and they should defeat the god of war by doing war against him

Wonder Woman is considered one of the good ones too.

Can't speak on All Star, but yeah, even if The New Frontier movie is worse than the comic, it still ends up pretty darn good, or watchable at least.

It also comes with commentary by Darwyn Cooke and it is nice hearing him explain the hows and whys of the adaptation.

I thought Crisis On Two Earths was pretty good, but the Spectre short that was included kinda outshone it. Not to mention that Batman arguably murders two dudes.

That was pretty much my only complaint about Crisis but I loved everything else about it.

I actually didn't like New Frontier at all despite liking the comic. They tried to exactly emulate the art style from the comic book and somehow it didn't work in motion for me.

They canceled the second batch of Gods and Monsters web shorts (there were going to be ten) and that makes me bitter because I loved that so much. It managed to do something far more totally different than the usual alternate universe thing. I just bought all the comics so I should read them.

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.
I enjoyed Crisis on Two Earths, Justice League: Doom, Under the Red Hood, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse, both New 52 Justice League movies, Assault on Arkham, Justice League Dark, and Batman: Year One. Year One is my favorite.

I haven't seen the Judas Contract yet.

It's kind of a cross between the Ostrander and New 52 eras. Of course Harley is on the team, but it's rounded out by a completely badass, antiheroic Deadshot (voiced by Neal McDonough), Captain Boomerang, Killer Frost, King Shark, and Black Tarantula, with Amanda Waller as a looming, dangerous presence in the background. Joker is there too, of course, given the nature of the plot, as are most of Batman's other villains.

Deadshot is one of my favorite DC characters, so the movie was full of mark-out moments for me, far more than the actual Suicide Squad movie.

Yeah it was alright. It helps that the current violent tone of DCs animation is a better fit for Suicide Squad than most of their other stuff.

It's like a rule that one of the leads has to be "famous" in these things now. If she was secondary it probably would still be Strong.

Definitely famous in quotes, because I had to look up the voice actress just to tell who it even is, and was uh, underwhelmed.
