So with 'Justice League War', and now 'Son of Batman', DC has effectively rebooted its animated DTV universe. We've got 'Assault on Arkham' coming up soon, which isn't part of this verse, and I have no doubt there will be future films not part of this universe. However, assuming that at least 2 out of every 3 films per year IS going to be set in this 'New 52' animated verse, here's how I would like to see the verse progress-
2015
Justice League: Throne of Atlantis
: Loosely based on the comic-arc of the same name. Will also serve as an introduction/origin for Aquaman, and basically serve as an 'Aquaman' film the same way Flashpoint Paradox was a 'Flash' film.
Batman: Court of Owls, Part One
: Based on Scott Snyder's seminal arc. This will cover roughly the first half of the story-arc, from the beginning up until the start of the 'Night of the Owls'. Also starring Robin (Damian) and Nightwing(Barbara Gordon).
Justice League: Kingdom Come
: Based on the 'Kingdom Come' series. Set in its own alternate continuity.
2016
Batman: Court of Owls, Part Two
: Second half of the story-arc, which may also introduce Harper Row.
DC Comics Presents: Trinity
: Loosely based on the miniseries of the same name. Will feature a team-up between Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. Set during the early years of their careers in the New 52 continuity. Released in time for the new movie.
Superman: Red Son
: Based on the Elseworlds story of the same name. Set in its own alternate continuity. -

Im on board for everything you have lined up and they are perfectly timed for Batman vs Superman release but it sounds almost too thought out to be real. Do you work for DC and did you leak their future schedule?

Not at all. This is pure speculation on my part. However, it is informed speculation to an extentin that I have a fair idea now about their strategy vis a vi the animated films.
For example, a couple of years ago, when the New 52 was still 'new', I theorized that DC might do an adaptation of Flashpoint and thus reboot the animated universe. My guess proved to be right. I also accurately predicted (as did many others) the adaptation of the Batman and Son storyline.
As for 'Throne of Atlantis'someone from WB mentioned a while back that Aquaman would play a prominent part in the next JL movie. 'Throne of Atlantis' is pretty much an educated guess from there on. -

I would hope so because it sounded quite sick actually?
Although i'm quite hesitant to get anymore DC animated movies because they won't get over their silly 70 or 80 minutes running time cut off point for their films. And could afford to stop cutting out material from the graphic novel adaptations and lengthen their movies somewhat to 2 hours or 100 to 105 minutes max.
Yet they don't and pour out these films which haven't been as great all the time though. Lots of hype yet little payoff sometimes in terms of not putting out certain requested comics or TPB's fans have wanted for the last 10 years or so. Nor adapted other great superheroes under DC's label like; Shazam/Captain Marvel, Swamp Thing, The Legion Of Superheroes, The Doom Patrol, Green Arrow or dared to adapt any of the DC-Vertigo comics into animated features and done something more artistic. Rather than always obsess over Superman and Batman.
Warners sorely needs to change their outdated policies and give fans what they want as film features not what they; '
think
' we might want to see supposedly?! Up til now many fans still want to see what a; "Teen Titans: The Judas Contract" animated film would've been like. And are always left asking ourselves why such an incredible dream project was shelved indefinitely by Warners and co?!
I mean; "Justice League: When Worlds Collide", a former movie concept idea was revived and eventually became
Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths
. So why can't Teen Titans: The Judas Contract be salvaged though?

I don't see that as likely unless it is adapted into at least 2 parts. Even then, I don't think that the allowed budget could do the story justice. The
New Teen Titans
graphic novel
Games
might be more likely.

I'm unfamiliar with these stories, but
Justice League: Throne of Atlantis
sounds good to me.

Barbara Gordon as Nightwing? That seems odd.
And Kingdom Come is one of my all time favorites, the artwork is awesome I just hope they don't kill it.
Sucks I have to wait a year for that and then two for Red Son (a great novel TBH). -

As far as I know there are no plans to adapt
Kingdom Come
. They can't kill a project that doesn't exist.

wow good choices, completely agree with u ..
but there is one thing tht keeps bothering mewhy cant warner bros make the animation of the batman, superman etcexactly the same way as in the graphic novel/comics.. why is tht they have to change the animation style completely..??
I agree tht with some graphic novels like the dark knight returns and the dark knight returns:2 etc..u need to have better animation as following the graphiv novel animation style would be horrible..
do u feel atlst in future warner bros for example makes a superman vs parasite film (though i know it will never happen) ..they culd not only take a story from Superman in action comics:Vol 1: issue: 715 but also ..atlst make the animation style similar to this:
