    RIP Dwayne McDuffie. He was pivotal in writing for the Justice League, JL: Unlimited, The Ben 10 series, Teen Titans, and Static Shock. They were all such good shows that made me love DC as a child.
  • @joshuamohlman
    DC’s live action movies may not always be good, but they are the champions of animated shows and movies
  • Man, nearly every DC animated Project has SMASHED our expectations or Wowed us with its amazing/timeless storytelling!! If only the DC Movie verse could take notes on how it's done!!!
  • Teen Titans will always be my favorite DC animated show. And a Top 5 favorite cartoons. 😩💓
  • Green Lantern: TAS was a right banger for me, always loved that sleek CGI. 💚 And i'm so happy to see The Batman (2004) is getting the love and recognition it deserves recently. Such a gem in DC's animated archive... really hope it returns for a 6th season one day. 💙🖤
  • The original Teen Titans was impressive in animation, character development, and representation of mental health. Especially come the Slade Hallucination arc.
  • Batman The Brave and The Bold really surprised me. I initially wrote it off as as just a lighthearted Batman but after watching it I couldn’t be anymore wrong. It’s a marvelous tribute to the silver age comics. Btw, those tracks from the Music Mister episode still slaps.

    Do Top 10 Superhero Shows we wished didn’t get cancelled. And #1 has to be Teen Titans (2003-2006)
  • @enderethan144
    The Batman(2004)was my childhood show I use to watch it every day on old Cartoon Network I never missed an episode.
  • @antimatta8714
    The 1990s Superman the animated series is still criminally underrated. It had great animation and tons of bizarre characters like - "Mr Mxyzptlk" perfectly voiced by Gilbert Gottfried.
  • @mykemyers6488
    Justice League unlimited deserved a spot on this list. And it should have started the list with the og batman animated series.
  • @Rjm00
    The justice league animated series was phenomenal any future justice league shows or movies should take notes from that series
  • I originally wrote off Young Justice was a KO of Teen Titans but in recent years, it’s actually become one of my favorites. It’s even inspired me in some of my own writings.
  • Unforgiveable that there's no mention of the Legion of Super-Heroes cartoon from 2006. That show is great...
  • Finally a ranking I completely agree with! Also it's too bad how underrated some of these shows were and still are.
  • Teen Titans exceeded all expectations...it's just a shame it never got a 6th Season.

    It's been 20 Years since the OG Teen Titans!
