Ranking Every DC Animated TV Series From Worst To Best

12. Justice League: Action

Justice League: Action may not be the successor to Justice League: Unlimited that fans have wanted, but it would be silly to suggest that it doesn't at least inherit its spirit.

Action, whilst immediately more irreverent and comical than its predecessor, is still a fun show bursting with talent. Kevin Conroy, Mark Hamill, Diedrich Bader (of Brave and the Bold fame), and a whole host of celebrity guest stars are involved with the show, which, like Unlimited, tries its best to shine a light on some of the less explored areas of the DCU.

It also rocks an absolutely gorgeous art style - one that utilises both light and dark colour pallets to best convey the series' action. And while it may not rock a nuanced interpretation of the classic DC source material, Action's short, ten minute episodes are a great way of getting new audiences into DC's properties.

It may not be perfect, but, as far as Warner Animation's more recent efforts are concerned, it's definitely among the best.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
