Sep 7, 2017Animation/Marvel Comics Superhero Battles
An animated Marvel Comics adaptation that is actually two separate stories involving The Incredible Hulk, who battles respectively Wolverine and Thor
Steve Blum
All-Star Superman (2011)
Jul 23, 2012Comic-Book Superhero/Animation
Another of the DC animated films, based on a work that reinterpreted Superman. This is somewhat bitsy in condensing a 12-issue series to a 73-minute film but holds some moments of great writing
Green Lantern: Emerald Knights (2011)
Oct 15, 2013Animation/Tales of the Green Lantern Corps
Animated film that tells different stories of various members of the Green Lantern Corps (including two stories from Alan Moore). Another of the worthwhile animated DC adaptations
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (2013)
Mar 9, 2014Animation/Comic-Book Superheroes/Alternate Timeline
A strong, intelligent DC Universe animated film set in an alternate timeline where the histories of various familiar DC characters have turned out radically different
The BoxTrolls (2014)
Oct 18, 2014Cuddly Trolls/Stop-Motion Animation
From Laika, a stop-motion animated work about misunderstood creatures who wear boxes as shells and are perceived as monsters by polite society. An enormous degree of creativity has gone into this
Justice League: War (2014)
Apr 13, 2015Animation/Comic-Book Superheroes
Another of the DC Universe Animated Films that rewrites the Justice League into DC's New 52 continuity reboot. This changes the character's origins and designs to little point
Batman: Bad Blood (2016)
Apr 25, 2016Comic-Book Superhero/Animation
Another of the DC Universe Original Animated Films. This is less a Batman film than a Batman Family film, a mixed effort that sidelines Batman for much of the show
Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge (2020)
Apr 26, 2020Animation/Interdimensional Combat/Videogame Adaptation
An animated film revival of the Mortal Kombat videogame franchise. This does a quite reasonable reworking of the basics, while leaving you blown away with the ultra-violent excesses of the action
Catwoman: Hunted (2022)
Feb 6, 2022Animation/Comic-Book Super-Thief
Animated adventure given over to Catwoman that comes with an appealing sense of humour that easily erases all memory of the Halle Berry film
The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026)
Aug 1, 2026Star Wars Spinoff Film
A spinoff film from The Mandalorian tv series, this is the best film set in the Star Wars universe this side of the 2000s for the simple reason that it has invested in characters rather than slavish fanboy callbacks
