The Godfather Part II currently beats Justice League Dark: Apokolips War 60–40
The greatest sequel edges out DC's animated apocalypse.
The Verdict Decades Apart
This matchup has 15 votes — still early. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.
Coppola intercuts young Vito's rise in 1917 New York with Michael's decline in 1958 Nevada, and the structural rhyme — the father building the family that the son is destroying — is one of cinema's great formal achievements. Apokolips War's commitment to permanent character death gives it weight within the DC animated universe. Both films take their respective franchises seriously. The lead says the structural masterwork outperforms the franchise-honoring one. Coppola's dual timeline is architecture no animated franchise film has attempted. The ambition gap between these films is the margin.
