In the beginning, there were DC Comics heroes, and it was good. Then there were the Superfriends and similar shows, and the public was exposed to some of their favorite heroes in animation for the first time. Then in 1993, DC Comics began to release yearly animated features starring mostly Batman, often Superman, and sometimes the whole Justice League.
Though all produced under the same umbrella, the DC Universe Original Animated Movies rarely share continuity with one another, largely being standalone films that usually adapts famous stories from the comics, though they sometimes have mild story arcs or are an entry in another DC universe.
See also the DC Animated Movie Universe, a sub-line of films forming its own universe released under this umbrella.
