The DC Animated Movie Universe (DCAMU) brings the Justice League, Batman, Superman, Teen Titans and supernatural heroes into one connected animated continuity. Start with Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox and build towards Justice League Dark: Apokolips War.
Release order is the recommended first-time route. Story order offers a practical, spoiler-conscious route through the same continuity, rather than a scene-by-scene chronology. All listed entries are animated movies; the optional final epilogue is a short film.

Which DC universe is this?
This guide covers the Flashpoint-to-Apokolips War continuity. The older DC Animated Universe (DCAU) and the subsequent Tomorrowverse are separate continuities and are not included here.
Timeline notes
Flashbacks and altered timelines mean there is no single clean chronological order for every scene. The story route keeps the opening reset first and preserves important character and sequel relationships. It is an editorial viewing recommendation, not an official DC chronology.
Optional viewing
Constantine: City of Demons is listed as the expanded 2018 movie, so you do not need to repeat its web-series version. Constantine: The House of Mystery (2022) is an optional short epilogue after Apokolips War.
