Looking for similar titles (but not just hulk)

(I already posted this in planet hulk but thought I'd copy paste it here as well)

I've so far watched:

1. Ultimate avengers 1 and 2
2. Dr. strange
3. Planet hulk and both Hulk vs. movies
4. Just discovered there's an 'invincible iron man' so will try to get my hands on it.
5. Batman under the red hood
6. Batman vs dracula (not so bad, not so good)

I have (but haven't watched yet since I'm not a big fan of DC):
1. Justice league: crisis on two earths
2. Superman batman public enemies
3. Batman beyond: return of the joker
4. Superman doomsday
5. Wolverine and the x-men: fate of the future (I think this is based on a wolverine and the x-men TV show, so I'm worried I won't know what's happening if I don't know what's happening in the series (and yes I know its marvel))

I prefer marvel over DC (didn't like dr. strange all that much though) but wouldn't mind watching DC since I don't have many options. I would like to know if there are any I don't know about, anything even somewhat similar like dark cow characters (like darkness and whatnot) would even be appreciated. I've already watched the HBO spawn series (first few were nice, towards the end they sucked though). The ones I'd especially like to know about are any spiderman stuff (I don't want series though, I've watched the spectacular spiderman (REALLY nice) and some strange animation spiderman and the old series, would rather movies to be honest).

On the Wolverine & The X-Men front, get rid of the DVD ya' have now and get The Complete Series set. It really is an amazing story, even if the ending sets up some for a second season, there's lots of iconic stuff all through out and much material that make up the kind of classic X-Men stories some of us recall from the 90s series. Some small contradictions aside, it's also set after Hulk Vs. Wolverine, as episode 7 serves a loose sequel and a few of the characters from there do make returns. Best to start from the beginning and watch all the way through, only 26 eps... sadly!

There is a truly amazing DC animated movie I sooner suggest over Superman: Doomsday, especially if you wanna go into Doomsday comparing it to the source comics, which it's really more a loose adaptation of than anything else. Try All Star Superman, the newest DCU release and a very emotional story for the core Supes characters. The movie pretty much emphasizes the same idea as Doomsday, "Superman is dying" (not much of a spoiler as this is touched on in the feature's first five minutes), but in a totally different context and direction of unpredictability. Unlike Doomsday, All Star is very accurate to its own source comics to the point where I'd suggest staying away from those so the movie and its ending aren't spoilered.

"The End of the Beginning", 'cause on May 13th, Superman Begins~!!

Thanks, I got the all star superman DVD from a friend and it really was pretty good. I know where I can get wolverine and the x-men series, but before I do, is wolverine and the x-men a sequal to x-men evolution? I read that it's supposed to be (can't remember where though), and I haven't watched x-men evolution yet (tried to but its just not interesting, the original series was far better).

After all star superman I watched my JL crisis on two earths, which wasn't bad. I decided to try and get my hands on the green lantern first flight dvd (can't find it so easily here though) and see what the green lantern's all about (aside from crisis on two earths, I don't actually know much about him).I just recently went ahead and got superman/batman apocalypse, is it any good? Also, is it time to give superman/batman public enemies a viewing?

First off, very sorry for delay in replying!

I know where I can get wolverine and the x-men series, but before I do, is wolverine and the x-men a sequal to x-men evolution? I read that it's supposed to be (can't remember where though), and I haven't watched x-men evolution yet (tried to but its just not interesting, the original series was far better).

No, Wolverine & The X-Men is set in its own different continuity apart from Evolution. The only materials it can be argued as being canon with are the "Meet Captain America" episode of the new Avengers series and Hulk Vs. feature, as those provide prequel materials regarding Logan (voiced by the same VA no less) and thus tie subtly in with moments of this series. So yeah, no need to watch Evolution, whole different universe.

After all star superman I watched my JL crisis on two earths, which wasn't bad. I decided to try and get my hands on the green lantern first flight dvd (can't find it so easily here though) and see what the green lantern's all about (aside from crisis on two earths, I don't actually know much about him).

If you're having trouble finding First Flight, Justice League: The New Frontier is also an awesome origin story for Hal/Green Lantern. New Frontier differs from First Flight in being an Earth-set story (First Flight leaves Earth after the first 7 or 8 minutes) and is set in the 1950s, making it a very unique story from the other DCU features. First Flight is still a great story, though I personally prefer New Frontier with its heavier focus on who Hal Jordan is and -- IMO -- the superior VA of David Boreanaz.

I just recently went ahead and got superman/batman apocalypse, is it any good? Also, is it time to give superman/batman public enemies a viewing?

I think it's pretty good, just keep in mind it's more a Supergirl origin story than Superman/Batman piece. It's almost a Justice League story given some of the other heroes whom appear and the grand villains they gotta face. Public Enemies is more an abridged adaptation of the President Luthor story and is set in the same continuity as Apocalypse, though it's really not needed to watch for understanding Apocalypse.
