This guide stays intentionally narrow: only the connected DCAMU film sequence belongs in the core route. Standalone DC animation and the later Tomorrowverse are separate continuities.
The Flashpoint Paradox opens the continuity and Apokolips War closes its 15-film core. House of Mystery is shown separately as expanded aftermath.

Editorial guidance
The reset in Flashpoint is an entry into the connected film run, not a request to master every earlier version of the Justice League. Release order introduces the cast in the sequence these films presented it. A historical flashback inside a later film does not require moving the whole film to the beginning.
DC identifies a 15-film run ending with Apokolips War. This guide also maps The House of Mystery as expanded aftermath, so its total record count is larger than the core film count. Watch that short afterward if you want more Constantine; you can finish the main run without treating it as a sixteenth feature film.
For a first complete run, keep all 15 films: the Batman, Titans and supernatural strands give the ensemble ending more context. That is our recommendation, not an official prerequisite rule. DCAU television, standalone adaptations and Tomorrowverse should be approached as separate routes; “DC animated” is a format label, not one continuous story.
Explained the 15-film scope, optional aftermath and distinction from other DC animation. This date covers these reading and viewing notes, not a fresh audit of every chronology record. The guide’s coverage date remains above.
Starting points and optional-route judgments are Story Order recommendations. They are distinct from official chronology and canon statements.

Use chronological order to follow events as they happen. Use release order when you want to preserve the sequence of the original reveals. Both views use the same researched stories.
