I liked the DC animated movie idea that for everytime a choice is made a alternate universe is created where everything is the same up until that choice but the opposite choice is made thus creating infinite universes with endleas possibilities

That's not really a DC animated idea, as much as it's been a concept in sci-fi forever, and is literally how Marvel handles alternate universes.

Ironically, DC in the comics always used a different model, where there are a finite number of discrete parallel universes, each different in its own way, but each existing separately from the others in spite of the overlap between them (ie, there's a Superman in nearly every universe). But they're not created by branching timelines as much as they've always existed as they are and always will.

Marvel generally did the branching timeline thing, combined with closed loop paradox-free time travel (usually only where Doctor Doom's time machine is involved). Almost every alternate Marvel universe can be traced back to divergence points.
