Based on the superhero team from the comics, the animated Justice League series first began airing in 2001 after the success of other DC animated shows like Batman: The Animated Series and Superman: The Animated Series. It served as a sequel to those shows, using well-known characters like Batman and Superman as well as introducing lesser-known ones like Hawkgirl and Martian Manhunter.
If you were a child with access to Cartoon Network in the 2000s, this show was probably formative—I know it was for me!
The show’s success led to several animated movies, both those with shared continuity as well as standalone films. DC releases animated movies at a breakneck pace and can release multiple new Justice League films in a single year. This speed makes it easy to fall behind if you’re trying to watch all the Justice League films in order.
You can watch the animated Justice League films by release date or group those with shared continuity together. Both methods have their pros and cons, so do whichever fits your preference.
