These, of course, are just a small selection of DC Animated films fans can find on the streaming platform. A quick search will show that there’s a long list of titles that can currently be streamed for free with ads.

Wonder Woman: Bloodlines is one of DC Animation’s most recent releases, having been released in 2019. It stars Rosario Dawson as the titular hero, who needs to help a troubled girl named Vanessa, who has fallen in with a deadly organization known as Villainy Inc. that just so happens to be headed by Dr. Cyber. The movie received a certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes with an 88% rating and was hailed as an action-packed story for a heroine worthy of more screentime in the DC Animated Universe. While Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker is one of DC Animation’s classic movies. The animated film received a rare 100% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and served as the perfect conclusion to the animated series.

For the younger audience, 2018’s DC Super Hero Girls: Legends of Atlantis is a nice introduction to the DC Universe. It tells the tale of The Super Hero Girls as they’re forced to go after Siren and Mera to retrieve the Book of Legends, before Siren can use it to take over the entire ocean with an army. It’s also a nice introduction to the Super Hero Girls franchise that DC Animation created to focus on teenage versions of some of DC’s most iconic female superheroes that were featured in the short-lived Super Hero Girls animated television series that eventually spawned animated films, like Legends of Atlantis.

The films are currently available to stream for free through YouTube’s TV & Movie streaming services. It’s unclear whether or not they will remain free on the service, or if they’ll eventually be part of YouTube’s paid content in the near future.
