Under the Red Hood - I agree, the psychological climax and the action sequences were very well done. I don't want to hold it up to the DCAU movies because Mask of the Phantasm was Bruce's origin and Return of the Joker was Terry proving himself, both very personal. Yes, Red Hood is about Bruce's biggest failure when it came to Jason, but I don't think Batman as a character is as well rounded as he was in those other two. Still, I'd rank this above Subzero and Mystery of the Batwoman. I think there were some fun bits, but only from Nightwing (this is the best relationship Batman and Nightwing have had in animation), and whatever fun Jason had when he was Robin was...well, contrasted with what happened.
Jonah Hex - Easy, because no one wants to see a feature length movie with heroes of questionable morality. Wait, I guess they do, but not in animation. You're judging them from a modern day perspective, though, in terms of the Old Testament and the lawless Old West respectively, Spectre and Hex are heroes.
Super Hero Squad is fun, but again, I just don't like the fact that this is the only time we get some of these characters. I think A Brat Walks Among Us was kind of weak, personally. I love Punisher in From The Atom... It Rises! too.
