The Brave and the Bold used Christmas to further explore Batman's inner turmoil and his decision to not celebrate the Yuletide holiday.

Gotham City has always played a narrative role in the Dark Knight's life, though two episodes from Batman: TAS made the city its own dark character.

Han Solo believed that a hokey space religion like the Force couldn't beat an old-fashioned blaster, which Cad Bane proved in a new way on Clone Wars.

Superman: TAS redefined characters like Lex Luthor and Lois Lane, who both shined in an alternate reality that featured an evil, murderous Superman.

Superman: Brainiac Attacks failed fans of the DCAU who were hoping for a real continuation, but it succeeded with a loving tribute to Richard Donner.

While Attack of the Clones stands as one of the most derided Star Wars films, it might have been saved by paying off Jango Fett and Obi-Wan's rivalry.

The Joker usually takes the top spot in Batman: The Animated Series' rogues' gallery, there's really only one choice for his greatest foe in the DCAU.

While Star Wars has found some success over the years, a new hero could be waiting in the wings if Lucasfilm embraces Marvel's What If...? approach.

Wolverine's first solo film wasn't well-received despite great villains, but it's now a necessary rewatch to prepare for Deadpool vs. Wolverine.

Although Superman often suffers from one-dimensional portrayals, DC has a chance to learn from the MCU and present him as a true character.
