Batman: Under the Red Hood tops Collider’s Letterboxd ranking of DC animated films

Collider published a list on Jan. 31, 2026, ranking the 10 greatest DC animated movies according to Letterboxd user scores, putting Batman: Under the Red Hood at No. 1.

At No. 1, Batman: Under the Red Hood earned a 4.0/5.0 Letterboxd score from 3.1k fans; Collider highlights the film’s close adaptation of the source material with writer Jeff Winick returning and strong voice performances from Bruce Greenwood, John DiMaggio and Neil Patrick Harris.

No. 2 is Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (4.0/5.0, 2k fans) and No. 3 is Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2 (4.0/5.0, 215 fans). Other top entries include Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox at No. 4 (3.8/5.0, 423 fans), Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker at No. 5 (3.8/5.0, 280 fans), and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 at No.
