DC's biggest problem with most of their animated movies is the lack of loyalty to the source material (The Dark Knight Returns and Under the Red Hood are main examples of loyalty). Take a wild guess why we buy the DVD? Because we want to see the awesomeness we've been reading come to life.
Son of Batman had the audacity to make Deathstroke equal to Damien. It is very obvious nobody at DC knows who Deathstroke is. He's not Bane part 2. Can someone over there read Identity Crisis!
Arkham was pretty cool but it took place in a video game world. Who gives a rip about the Arkham universe. The habit of making a comic for every video game/movie/show is a waste of company time and resources. Plus it's ultra freaking lame. Focus on the singular universe that you desperately need to succeed in order to catch up to the movie BILLIONS Marvel is making.
Take an awesome storyline and make it a movie. I don't want to hear the director's little spin on things or character swaps so he can put his stamp on it. Make a solid product and you will be stamped as great.
STOP MAKING SUPERMAN FILMS! I have downloaded everything DC has ever animated. Ever notice the first 5 minutes of every Super-movie starts with a cocky Lois getting saved in a helicopter over Metropolis? Metallo, Parasite and Bizarro are not worthy villains. Make them go away. Lobo sucks, period. Give me a good pre-52 Zod story like war of the Supermen or whatever that was called. The best part of every Supe movie is Lex. I LOVE the animated Lex. Make his villains cool like Batman so we don't yawn our way to the conclusion.
Stop making Batman a stubborn 9 year old when he's with the league. Ever see JL: Doom? It's all possible because they make Batman act like a b-leaguer in the first 10 minutes. Ever notice how much of a jobber Batman is when he's with the league?
They should animate the entire Geoff Johns GL run. Amazon loves me this holiday ordering the majority of his run. Sinestro Wars, Blackest Night and War of the Green Lanterns were A+++ reads. They should do Knightfall, all three Crisis movies, more earth 3, Salvation Run, Return of Bruce Wayne, ya know...big stories that rocked. What about Kingdom Come or Villains United or Forever Evil!? Please please please make a movie that involves every member of the Bat-family, not eternal. Batman Eternal is a great read but it's just another Batman story with 48 ziggity zags along the way.
If I ran DC, I'd be pumping out more at least 5 DVD's a year. 1 Batman, 1 JL and 3 others (2 Pre-52 and 1 New 52).
