As of 2022, 47 feature films and fourteen short films have been released, with additional films slated for future releases until 2023. Many of the films are adapted from stories originally featured in DC print comics and graphic novels. The majority of the films are rated PG-13 by the MPAA with the exception of All-Star Superman and Green Lantern: Emerald Knights, which are rated PG, and Batman: The Killing Joke, Justice League Dark, Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay, Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, Batman: Soul of the Dragon, Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two, and Injustice, which are rated R. The art styles for the films are also generally more realistically proportionate.

Unlike earlier animated DC films (most of which also involved Bruce Timm and were part of the DC animated universe), the films in the line are aimed at a more adult audience, often containing profane language, stronger violence, sexual scenes and more mature themes.
