I'm guessing they done it because it would confused the younger audience as they didn't see any shows in the 90s and this is before streaming shows became a thing.
+Allende Pacheco With that logic DC wouldn't have chosen to do Green Lantern movie with Hal Jordan instead of using John Stewart considering the younger audience was never introduced to Hal Jordan
"I mean, I know this thing has literally millions of fans, and I hear you, but what if, just imagine it. What if, we just destroy everything we've built, and never have the balls to continue any other DC show for more than two seasons ever again? That sounds awesome, right?!" (Sorry. I'm still salty after Young Justice and Green Lantern got the axe.)
LegendaryKing the voice actors were fantastic but they wouldn't have been much good if the way the characters and stories were written weren't also great, which they were.
+LegendaryKing I mean, the Killing Joke kind of proves your statement false. It had Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, but it was still awful because the story was poorly handled.
The Animated Series has always been better than the DCEU. They should stop hiring somewhat well known directors and hire the ones who directed these animated episodes and movies because they knew what DC Comics was.
Considering that one of their best writers (Dwayne McDuffie) died a few years ago, that might be a bit difficult. Bruce Timm is a producer on the DC animated movies, although after Batman and Harley Quinn, I'm apprehensive on his talent without others. And then there's Paul Dini, who actually moved over to Marvel, so again, difficult.
Btw everyone go check out the game Tecosaurus is working it's amazing, it's called Crisis On Earth One it's an arrow verse fan made game and it's looking really good right now.
Just for the record, Teen Titans isn't part of the DCAU. It's an animated DC show, yes, but not really part of what's considered the DCAU. And they didn't cancel Teen Titans, it ended. I mean it had like 5 seasons or something, right?

So if DC had carried on with the DC animated Universe it might have been able to compete or even be a free DC equivalent to the MCU well then great job Warner Brothers
hmmnope. mcu just might be able to be a free equivalent to the dcau, if it keeps it up. Dcau is on the top of shared universe medium both against marvels animated universes(with the era of x-men/spider-man/hulk animated series as its best competitors) and its live action ones both in mcu and (my personal favs) its netflix part.. Soo Mcu followed the example, then dc tried t mimic mcu's achievements, while dismissing its own teachings..
Yeah as much as I love the DCAU and all the groundbreaking things it did, this weird pushing of this forbidden affair between Bruce and Barbara that might very well have ruined the Killing Joke animated film keeps seemingly coming from the architects of the DCAU. I don't know if its Timm or Dini or whoever, but the sheer tenacity of pushing it into both the DCAU, and TKJ where it really had no place shows that at least someone really, REALLY wants to canonize it in some way and its more than a little bizarre. Its kind of unfortunate, I don't want to see it as blemish on the DCAU, but whatever it is it messed up one of the most anticipated animated adaptations ever.

Sometimes I wish money wasn't a thing and people made works of art like these shows because they were passionate about it, but I know that's a naive thing to think. it's just ironic how they could get rid of something that's been an important part of Marvel studio's success.
I miss the DC Animated Universe. It started with Batman: The Animated Series in 1992 and ended with Justice League Unlimited in 2005. It would've been awesome if Teen Titans and Young Justice were a part of it. I wish they could've made a Legion of Superheroes spinoff series with Supergirl, based off the "Far From Home" episode of Justice League Unlimited instead of that other Legion series they made.
Introducing Nora to Mr freeze's origin was the smartest shit I've ever seen. It's a story that breaks my heart whenever they "conclude" nora and her story.
not that I'm bragging... but as a fan of the DCAU... I already know all of these stuff... but I really wished that they continued the DCAU... it would be really fun to add the Teen Titans (mentioned in Static Shock)
I consider Young Justice the only DC animated show to match the quality of golden age of the DCAU(Batman 1992 ,Superman 1996 ,Justice League/Unlimited,Batman Beyond,Static Shock) Honestly,characters like Ms Martian,Aqualad, and Red Arrow/Arsenal are some of my favorite DC superheroes and my introduction to them was this show.
Oh wow. Young Justice not part of the DCAU is a sin. Also about the cancellation, from what I've read, the toy sales for Young Justice were crap so that's why they cancelled YJ.
+Comicstorian Hey, you got the wrong idea about the Chase Me Short Cartoon. It's not that. Chase Me came out in the 90s. Your thinking of the 2014 short film Batman Beyond. Chase Me was in the DVD of TNBA.
DC shows from my childhood- Batman the animated series- Superman the animated series- Batman Beyond- Justice League- Justice Unlimited- Static Shock- Teen Titans- The Batman- Marvel shows from my childhood- Xmen- Spiderman- Incredible Hulk- Spiderman Unlimited- The Spectacular Spiderman- Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes- *Sigh* The good ol' days -_-
I really miss this universe... It was really fulfilling to be able to see a character you adore from a canceled/hiatus show show up in another universe. A prime example would be Kid Flash (Wally West) showing up in Teen Titans.
"Chase Me" had nothing to to do with Batman Beyond and wasn't released recently. It was a short musical featurette of Batman chasing Catwoman that was included in the special features of the "Mystery of the Batwoman" DVD. I know because I HAD the DVD.
Does anybody else think that DC should launch a new series to connect to the DC animated universe? As far as I know, the only DC cartoon running right now is teen Titans go.
rodster6 I watched The Batman all the way through when it came on Netflix and I personally think it was a solid show. Compared to its DC animated competition at the time (JLU and Teen Titans) it was by far the weakest, but a solid show nonetheless I think. I feel like I would have been more open to it had DC not restricted use of those supporting characters in the DCAU. I was bitter for years haha.
I really enjoyed this video and it cleared 90% of my million doubts, i can't thank you enough, you're the only one till best available on youtube and i don't know what's happening to DC now. It's really a shame that legendary shows are getting cancelled due to demand of producers or upcoming new projects, like the show avengers earth's mightiest heros was cancelled for avengers assemble. It wouldn't be that much shame if the new shows were better or atleast good enough like the old ones. DC never disappoints in the animation plot line and details but marvel just doesn't care what happens to the old show. That is the Biggest reason I'm Proud to be a DC Fan😇.
you say that "chase me" is a batman beyond anniversary episode that came out recently, but the only thing i can find is from 2003 and is about catwoman.
Marvel kind of had an animated universe around that same time with the X-Men, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and Iron Man. I think most of them crossed over at times. Correct me if Im wrong as it has been awhile.
It's annoying how the dccu is trying to emulate the mcu when really they should be emulating their animated universe all the ingredients are there and they're just going to waste
Harry Potter. Harry Potter! Not only do they have "TOO" many people that could help steer this right, they "have" a franchise that could be emulated at their studio already. Eight Harry Potter movies were made in the span of 11 years.......but you're trying to compete with Marvel. I never EVER see anyone bring up Harry Potter every time somebody talks about Warner Bros woes and trials and tribulations bringing DC Comics characters to live-action. You CREATED the fucking genre with Superman, and for all intents and purposes Batman, in 1978 and 1989, you've owned DC Comics since 1967, for almost 50 years, and yet you can't make a Justice League movie? In that fucking time span you can't make a Justice League of America, Martian Manhunter, The Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Teen Titans, Justice Society Of America, or any other A-list or B-list character movie? Harry Potter arrived on the scene in 1997, 4 or 5 years later he gets his own movie, around 2001, but wonder Woman.........nothing? And people bring "Marvel" into this shit? Clash Of The Titans, Wrath Of The Titans, The Lord Of The Rings movies, The Hobbit movies, Constantine, 300, Catwoman, The Losers, Pacific Rim, Superman Returns, Watchmen, V For Vendetta, Green Lantern......countless, countless more genre movies to name.............but no Wonder Woman? No fucking Flash?
That comment is wrong on so many levels. Not only would many of the elements in the DCAU not translate well to live action, but the DCCU isn't an exact replica of the MCU beyond being a connected universe of different projects
From watching Suicide Squad it's pretty obvious that DC has no clue how to get their content to the viewers! No one understood the movies plot or knew that the Joker wasn't a main character = no one watched the animated lead-up that familiarized the characters with the fans! How most die-hard fans missed that is mind-boggling, especially when you're dumping tons of cash into such a large production!! Cancelling Young Justice after a successful Justice Eague, Batman & Superman series' only shows how inept this company is! They only cared about toy sales while they had valuable content fans definitely wanted to see!! Whoever runs DC have no clue what they're doing while Marvel centres their entire universe around a coming war = VERY simple to understand & follow across many films. Wonder Woman, Green Lantern & the Flash films will definitely spark interest in the franchise but fans are definitely tired of Superman/Batman movies or shows!! DC needs to focus more on finding better writers!
What you are saying isnt wrong. They really need to look at what is resonating with the fans if they are catering their movies to the fans. Question though, what lead up are you talking about because i was looking for one once you said there was an animated lead up. If you are referring to Assault on Arkham which is the only thing that came up that has nothing to do with that movie its tied to the Arkham video game universe. Is there something else i missed?
+Comicstorian That's what I'm talking about! It's the only animation that showed the movies theme with the characters which made it clear that the Joker wouldn't be the main focus of this team + Batman would be involved somehow! When I watched that, it was insinuated that this was a prequel for the movie. I thought the movie was OK, but followed the same pattern Man of Steel & Batman vs. Superman had = the movie got going with only 30 minutes left! Hopefully Netflix can pick-up season 3 of Young Justice so that fans can enjoy something from DC because I don't see the Justice League movie being any better. I can't stand the politics either!! Thanks for replying!
+ChewieJamie They are but it's not as good as the old one. Son of Batman, Batman Bad Blood, Justice League War, Justice League King of Atlantis, and Justice League vs the Teen Titans
yeah because Marvel is killing it now they got ultimate spiderman, avengers assemble, hulk& the agents of S.M.A.S.H& Guardians of the galaxy all in the same universe there's small problems with it but so far so good..the only way dc even be in competition is to bring young Justice&Green lantern TAS back..let's be serious DC Teen titans go is a joke Justice league action looks bad on the upside the t.v. universe is so far so good but your way behind movies wise keep up the good work with the animated movies..I'm digging Dc. Rebirth more then civil war 2 &please put more Vixen episodes this season also bring Constantine back I tried watching the Marvel T.v. shows but they look boring So Overall I'd say Marvel is winning Slightly
I feel that the DC Extended Universe could learn a lot from the DC Animated Universe, since it was pretty much a cinematic universe before the concept of a cinematic universe was even a thing, and the best part is that the DCAU still holds up to this day and it's aged so well.
Been "binging" the DCAU, trying to watch it in order and all of it.This is going to take a while. Should I watch Static Shock before or after Batman Beyond for chronological reasons?
What about Green Lantern the animated series? That was a Bruce Timm show just way different animation. Whats the story with that? I always thought it explained where Hal was during the rest of the JL amd JLU stories.
Great video! It's sad about how many great opportunities were passed up because some suits didn't think fans were smart enough to grasp the concept of separate universes.
The Batman and WonderWoman pair up is the best from that universe because they are complete opposite but also the same at the same time. One is a essentially Goddess and one is just a mortal man but both are great fighters. Their relationship is more dynamic than Superman and WonderWoman will ever be. The origin of Batman Beyond is also a great story the animated universe gave us
Kids today have no clue just how good The Timmverse of DC Animation was in the 90s and early 00s. It's because of thoes shows why so many of us DC fans hate Marvel. There was so much quality back then, every show was amazing. Not one was bad. DC was King back then. Don't get me wrong Marvel had Spider-Man TAS and Xmen. Two of my favorite shows back then from Marvel. Everything was golden back then. But fast forward into the future with The Avengers movies and the Cinematic Universe crap. Oh how everything in Marvel sucks now. Everybody is a comedian. so boring. lame. everything is just a marketing plan, the shows have no heart. Now DC animation has to pander to Marvel fans because they outnumber DC. adding more jokes and blind action. creating shows like Teen Titans Go and Justice League Action.. while old school great shows like Young Justice goes away. shame... Marvel ruined everything
Well, I kinda love the fact that we can have superhero movies of this magnitude now. If you're talking about the movies, I have to disagree about no heart. But I agree that marvel's animated shows suck now. I would honestly love to travel back to the time when Spider-Man TAS and Batman Beyond were still airing. Ah, the golden age where every animated show had heart written into every episode, when cartoons could tell emotional stories about serious issues, and still be fun to watch. Back then, the people behind the shows really seemed to care.
Also, in my opinion it's more like Warner Brothers ruined everything. At some point, they started getting really antsy, and began to try to control everything instead of letting DC do its thing. I think that's when it started going downhill. Like Young Justice. WB pulls the plug cause not enough toys are selling, even though the show had a great following.
It's funny. On a forum I frequent, I asked what was the best animated series of all time. So many people responded that the DCAU, or shows therein, were the best animated series ever.
Saltyk not surprised all the shows were great. they all had fantastic characters good themes and messages and a lot of enuendos looking back that made them much more enjoyable to rewatch.
There are comic books that are actually a continuity of all DCAU shows and I can give you the links to them. If you want more DCAU you can read them all here in these sites. readcomiconline.to/Comic/The-Batman-Adventures , readcomiconline.to/Comic/The-Batman-and-Robin-Adventures , readcomiconline.to/Comic/Justice-League-Adventures , and readcomiconline.to/Comic/Justice-League-Unlimited
Batman: The Brave and the Bold was fun. It reintroduced certain characters and sometimes had the campy vibe of the Adam West series. It even created a brand new villain - Music Meister, voiced by Neil Patrick Harris. The character would later appear in the live-action Arrowverse. Sadly, the series was ended. Beware the Batman was also another great series, which used computer animation. I loved how they chose Katana to be Batman's crime-fighting partner. The re-imagining of Katana and Alfred worked really well. Also, we were introduced to Lady Shiva as a main villain and not many of us have heard of her. Sadly, this series was ended too!
This is my 1st ever comment on youtube. love the channel, was one of the main reasons I started reading comics. Anyway, the reason for the comment is to say that I would love for you to do a young justice video, the more chatter the more likely for another season!!!
It's a shame. I really had more fond memories of the DC cartoons than the Marvel cartoons.

Who needs fifteen years of universe building? Today they can just do it in three movies... Maybe not well, but they can do it.
"Okay guys... i know we've spent like 15 years on this animated universe. but like.... what if we get rid of everything everyone loves?"
"I mean, I know this thing has literally millions of fans, and I hear you, but what if, just imagine it. What if, we just destroy everything we've built, and never have the balls to continue any other DC show for more than two seasons ever again? That sounds awesome, right?!"
(Sorry. I'm still salty after Young Justice and Green Lantern got the axe.)
WB really shit the bed on that Decision
+FearingVirus and JLU only got 2 seasons IIRC
It makes no sense. They basically destroyed a well made universe becasue they thought people weren't smart enough to differentiate.
From a comics company that keeps trying to reboot their comic universe and wipe out messy continuity, this does not surprise me.
I still find jl & jlu to be the masterpieces of DC.
So true.
same
I throw in Young Justice with it, but I agree
Omg yes
dont forget Teen Titans
What made the DCAU special were the voices used
LegendaryKing the voice actors were fantastic but they wouldn't have been much good if the way the characters and stories were written weren't also great, which they were.
Ik Im glad they got the John stewart voice actor for Injustice 2 I honestly didnt expect it
+LegendaryKing I mean, the Killing Joke kind of proves your statement false. It had Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, but it was still awful because the story was poorly handled.

dcau day? FUCKING SIGN ME UP!!!
+Infinite Dragoon lol, said I was thinking about it. I havent read all of the books yet so didnt want to promise books if they were bad
+Comicstorian can you civil war 2 pretty fast
+Comicstorian secret wars 1984
same
+Comicstorian hawk and dove orgins
Young Justice was sooo good imo, I wish to know what happened
some bullshit happened lmao
+Dragon0ne toy sales were bad so they got rid of the show 😤
Truueee
+Shirairu yep some bullshit happened
No one knows for sure. Something about toy sales not being great. Basically, it just wasn't worth the air time.
That moment when he forgets about krypto the superdog
I didnt forget it, its not in the DCAU
Krypto is awesome. it should've been part of the DCAU
Comicstorian oh i thought it was bc the member of the justice league have appear in the show
but didn't Superman come for crypto and then leave him there with the kid NN episode
+Comicstorian what happened to DC super girls
not that I'm bragging... but as a fan of the DCAU... I already know all of these stuff... but I really wished that they continued the DCAU... it would be really fun to add the Teen Titans (mentioned in Static Shock)
These are some of finest DC material beyond the comics
Justice League Unlimited was fantastic It is missed :(.
I love the DC Animated Universe. The animation is great, the writing is top notch, and the characters are fun and well developed. Too bad it ended.
Your an idiot
I consider Young Justice the only DC animated show to match the quality of golden age of the DCAU(Batman 1992 ,Superman 1996 ,Justice League/Unlimited,Batman Beyond,Static Shock)
Honestly,characters like Ms Martian,Aqualad, and Red Arrow/Arsenal are some of my favorite DC superheroes and my introduction to them was this show.
This is such a timely video. I just finished watching the entirety of justice league and JLU the day this was uploaded.
man you guys brought back so many memories those were the good days :)
Oh wow. Young Justice not part of the DCAU is a sin. Also about the cancellation, from what I've read, the toy sales for Young Justice were crap so that's why they cancelled YJ.
+Letago Modiba There was more to it, but that helped its fate get sealed
from what i heard it was the fact they got too much girl's watching and their target demographic was aimed towards male viewers but thats what i heard
+Comicstorian Hey, you got the wrong idea about the Chase Me Short Cartoon. It's not that. Chase Me came out in the 90s. Your thinking of the 2014 short film Batman Beyond. Chase Me was in the DVD of TNBA.
I thought it was team mystic's fault
+DoomsdayGaming yeah, thats what i head. So much potential...
DC shows from my childhood- Batman the animated series-
Superman the animated series-
Batman Beyond-
Justice League-
Justice Unlimited-
Static Shock-
Teen Titans-

Marvel shows from my childhood- Xmen-
Spiderman-
Incredible Hulk-
Spiderman Unlimited-
The Spectacular Spiderman-
Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes-
*Sigh* The good ol' days -_-
I really miss this universe... It was really fulfilling to be able to see a character you adore from a canceled/hiatus show show up in another universe. A prime example would be Kid Flash (Wally West) showing up in Teen Titans.
Thank You for all your hard work. Appreciated your team is.
"Chase Me" had nothing to to do with Batman Beyond and wasn't released recently. It was a short musical featurette of Batman chasing Catwoman that was included in the special features of the "Mystery of the Batwoman" DVD. I know because I HAD the DVD.
Does anybody else think that DC should launch a new series to connect to the DC animated universe? As far as I know, the only DC cartoon running right now is teen Titans go.
I wish they would bring back the original dc universe
Young Justice is coming back this year
If they had ANY brains at WB they would have looked to this material for the films
What if the do a Animated game universe? If they have the braincells to do it right, this might be a idea!
Such a shame they restricted Justice League's use of Batman characters just for that sub-par, forgettable 'the Batman' cartoon.
rodster6 tottaly
rodster6 I watched The Batman all the way through when it came on Netflix and I personally think it was a solid show. Compared to its DC animated competition at the time (JLU and Teen Titans) it was by far the weakest, but a solid show nonetheless I think. I feel like I would have been more open to it had DC not restricted use of those supporting characters in the DCAU. I was bitter for years haha.
Cuz of JL & JLU I'm so attached to Wally West! Best flash ever!
Pretty much knew everything you covered, but was glad to see what I already knew confirmed. Love this channel. Keep up the good work, Benny!
I got hooked on this now I’m sad that there wasn’t anymore episodes
LONG LIVE CONDIMENT KING THE MUSTARD RISES
I really enjoyed this video and it cleared 90% of my million doubts, i can't thank you enough, you're the only one till best available on youtube and i don't know what's happening to DC now.
It's really a shame that legendary shows are getting cancelled due to demand of producers or upcoming new projects, like the show avengers earth's mightiest heros was cancelled for avengers assemble.
It wouldn't be that much shame if the new shows were better or atleast good enough like the old ones. DC never disappoints in the animation plot line and details but marvel just doesn't care what happens to the old show. That is the Biggest reason I'm Proud to be a DC Fan😇.
I miss the DCAU, so many memories from batman the animated series to justice league unlimited 😢
Looking forward to your Young Justice Video. RIP Dwayne McDuffie, we should have gotten decades and decades more of his amazing stories.
Thanks for making this this really clears up all the questions I had about it!
you say that "chase me" is a batman beyond anniversary episode that came out recently, but the only thing i can find is from 2003 and is about catwoman.
Young justice was amazing
Yea...
it was more of a teen titans sequel than the actual teen titans sequel
Marvel kind of had an animated universe around that same time with the X-Men, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and Iron Man. I think most of them crossed over at times. Correct me if Im wrong as it has been awhile.
Thank You❤️..It was very vivid trip down our childhoods..you are one hell of a messenger 😎
this is wonderful, thanks for the recap BENNY!!
I’m doing an animation presentation on Bruce Timm (creator of the animated universe) so I’ve been so invested lol
They never should of canceled Young Justice, there was still so much they could of done w/ the story!
they literally did no promotion and I never saw a young justice toy until 2 years ago at a Roses'
+shadygrady3000 redZ what's roses
+e hole boyz gang a cool store
It's annoying how the dccu is trying to emulate the mcu when really they should be emulating their animated universe all the ingredients are there and they're just going to waste
Harry Potter. Harry Potter! Not only do they have "TOO" many people that could help steer this right, they "have" a franchise that could be emulated at their studio already.
Eight Harry Potter movies were made in the span of 11 years.......but you're trying to compete with Marvel.
I never EVER see anyone bring up Harry Potter every time somebody talks about Warner Bros woes and trials and tribulations bringing DC Comics characters to live-action.
You CREATED the fucking genre with Superman, and for all intents and purposes Batman, in 1978 and 1989, you've owned DC Comics since 1967, for almost 50 years, and yet you can't make a Justice League movie?
In that fucking time span you can't make a Justice League of America, Martian Manhunter, The Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Teen Titans, Justice Society Of America, or any other A-list or B-list character movie?
Harry Potter arrived on the scene in 1997, 4 or 5 years later he gets his own movie, around 2001, but wonder Woman.........nothing?
And people bring "Marvel" into this shit? Clash Of The Titans, Wrath Of The Titans, The Lord Of The Rings movies, The Hobbit movies, Constantine, 300, Catwoman, The Losers, Pacific Rim, Superman Returns, Watchmen, V For Vendetta, Green Lantern......countless, countless more genre movies to name.............but no Wonder Woman? No fucking Flash?
By the way Sam I liked your comment.
That comment is wrong on so many levels. Not only would many of the elements in the DCAU not translate well to live action, but the DCCU isn't an exact replica of the MCU beyond being a connected universe of different projects
Dafuq are you talking about...
DCAU and MCU are similar in concept, so its not like the DCEU isn't trying to ape off of it. Hell, the Flarrowverse is doing the same thing.
Wow. Awesome resource. Thanks, Comicstorian!
This is awesome! Would be amazing if you do a video on the 2003 TMNT series as well.
I was born after all these great shows like for support
From watching Suicide Squad it's pretty obvious that DC has no clue how to get their content to the viewers! No one understood the movies plot or knew that the Joker wasn't a main character = no one watched the animated lead-up that familiarized the characters with the fans! How most die-hard fans missed that is mind-boggling, especially when you're dumping tons of cash into such a large production!! Cancelling Young Justice after a successful Justice Eague, Batman & Superman series' only shows how inept this company is! They only cared about toy sales while they had valuable content fans definitely wanted to see!! Whoever runs DC have no clue what they're doing while Marvel centres their entire universe around a coming war = VERY simple to understand & follow across many films. Wonder Woman, Green Lantern & the Flash films will definitely spark interest in the franchise but fans are definitely tired of Superman/Batman movies or shows!! DC needs to focus more on finding better writers!
What you are saying isnt wrong. They really need to look at what is resonating with the fans if they are catering their movies to the fans. Question though, what lead up are you talking about because i was looking for one once you said there was an animated lead up. If you are referring to Assault on Arkham which is the only thing that came up that has nothing to do with that movie its tied to the Arkham video game universe. Is there something else i missed?
+Comicstorian That's what I'm talking about! It's the only animation that showed the movies theme with the characters which made it clear that the Joker wouldn't be the main focus of this team + Batman would be involved somehow! When I watched that, it was insinuated that this was a prequel for the movie. I thought the movie was OK, but followed the same pattern Man of Steel & Batman vs. Superman had = the movie got going with only 30 minutes left! Hopefully Netflix can pick-up season 3 of Young Justice so that fans can enjoy something from DC because I don't see the Justice League movie being any better. I can't stand the politics either!! Thanks for replying!
got a link to this animated lead up? I had no idea. I wasn't super invested but i had no clue there was a lead-up to SS...
+Alexi Thunderbird ya, DC has been messing-up for a while now! Batman Arkham Asylum is great + shows why the Joker had a bit part in the movie!
Assault on Arkham isn't a prequel to Suicide Squad. The two films are not connected, they take place in two completely different universes.
DC if your reading this comment make a new dcau
+ChewieJamie yeah it's just not as good as the dcau
You're*
+ChewieJamie They are but it's not as good as the old one. Son of Batman, Batman Bad Blood, Justice League War, Justice League King of Atlantis, and Justice League vs the Teen Titans
+Matt Lopez there making justice league dark and a teen titans movie.
yeah because Marvel is killing it now they got ultimate spiderman, avengers assemble, hulk& the agents of S.M.A.S.H& Guardians of the galaxy all in the same universe there's small problems with it but so far so good..the only way dc even be in competition is to bring young Justice&Green lantern TAS back..let's be serious DC Teen titans go is a joke Justice league action looks bad on the upside the t.v. universe is so far so good but your way behind movies wise keep up the good work with the animated movies..I'm digging Dc. Rebirth more then civil war 2 &please put more Vixen episodes this season also bring Constantine back I tried watching the Marvel T.v. shows but they look boring So Overall I'd say Marvel is winning Slightly
This whole video gave me nostalgia chills.
The old DC animated universe made my childhood so Awesome!! I can never forget all those shows!
YES THE DCAU WAS AWESOME. JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED WAS MY FAVE! I love the Huntress and Question storyline.
HEY YOU SCROLLING DOWN THE COMMENT SECTION YOU LOOK FINE LIKE A CUP OF WINE
I'M GOING TO WINE AND DINE YOU
thank you
you what
thanks :3
The ears aren't too much?
Teen Titans was an excellent TV show but then they cancelled it for... (rage setting in) Teen Titans GO...
teen Titans Go absolutely SUCKS
+Milton Fortner Just for telling a 100% truth, you get 1 sub. 👍
@Deception, yes, how dare people have their own opinions, right????
***** You do realize I was being sarcastic, right?
I feel that the DC Extended Universe could learn a lot from the DC Animated Universe, since it was pretty much a cinematic universe before the concept of a cinematic universe was even a thing, and the best part is that the DCAU still holds up to this day and it's aged so well.
Please keep making videos like this!
Been "binging" the DCAU, trying to watch it in order and all of it.This is going to take a while. Should I watch Static Shock before or after Batman Beyond for chronological reasons?
In the Justice League Unlimited episode Seven Soldiers the Teen Titans version of Speedy makes an appearance.
What about Green Lantern the animated series? That was a Bruce Timm show just way different animation. Whats the story with that? I always thought it explained where Hal was during the rest of the JL amd JLU stories.
I this statement is now ironic
Great video! It's sad about how many great opportunities were passed up because some suits didn't think fans were smart enough to grasp the concept of separate universes.
Thank you for all the amazing videos. I love they work your guys put in.
The Batman and WonderWoman pair up is the best from that universe because they are complete opposite but also the same at the same time. One is a essentially Goddess and one is just a mortal man but both are great fighters. Their relationship is more dynamic than Superman and WonderWoman will ever be. The origin of Batman Beyond is also a great story the animated universe gave us
Kids today have no clue just how good The Timmverse of DC Animation was in the 90s and early 00s.
It's because of thoes shows why so many of us DC fans hate Marvel. There was so much quality back then, every show was amazing. Not one was bad. DC was King back then.
Don't get me wrong Marvel had Spider-Man TAS and Xmen. Two of my favorite shows back then from Marvel.
Everything was golden back then.
But fast forward into the future with The Avengers movies and the Cinematic Universe crap. Oh how everything in Marvel sucks now. Everybody is a comedian. so boring. lame. everything is just a marketing plan, the shows have no heart.
Now DC animation has to pander to Marvel fans because they outnumber DC. adding more jokes and blind action. creating shows like Teen Titans Go and Justice League Action.. while old school great shows like Young Justice goes away. shame...
Marvel ruined everything
+MR.DC COMICS Not love for Spec Spiderman or Avengers: EMH
Justice League Action looks like a good show and Teen Titans Go is a spin off parody so it's supposed to be focused on comedy.
Well, I kinda love the fact that we can have superhero movies of this magnitude now. If you're talking about the movies, I have to disagree about no heart. But I agree that marvel's animated shows suck now. I would honestly love to travel back to the time when Spider-Man TAS and Batman Beyond were still airing. Ah, the golden age where every animated show had heart written into every episode, when cartoons could tell emotional stories about serious issues, and still be fun to watch. Back then, the people behind the shows really seemed to care.
Also, in my opinion it's more like Warner Brothers ruined everything. At some point, they started getting really antsy, and began to try to control everything instead of letting DC do its thing. I think that's when it started going downhill. Like Young Justice. WB pulls the plug cause not enough toys are selling, even though the show had a great following.
dont hate on marvel at best blame wb and disney for milking them to hell heck we'll be lucky if we get another timmverse based movie
Rip dcau, it was so F**king good anyone who hasnt watched the shows in this universe you need to watch them
Loved batman the animated series as a kid
It's funny. On a forum I frequent, I asked what was the best animated series of all time. So many people responded that the DCAU, or shows therein, were the best animated series ever.
Saltyk not surprised all the shows were great. they all had fantastic characters good themes and messages and a lot of enuendos looking back that made them much more enjoyable to rewatch.
Great Video!! So much nostalgia!!
This video was truly great man!
I missed justice league unlimited and the batman
GOD!!!!! Young Justice was soooo good!!! Why did it get cancelled!? It was literally on par with the animated movies
Because it was to expensive.
I read Young Justice wasn't selling enough merchandise - toys especially.
It's classified as a boy's show and was too popular with the girls. Apparently, it's impossible to merchandise to girls.
YJ was way better than the new DC animated movies
DCAU the best version of batman
Dude you are awesome bro keep doing what your doing!!
There are comic books that are actually a continuity of all DCAU shows and I can give you the links to them. If you want more DCAU you can read them all here in these sites. readcomiconline.to/Comic/The-Batman-Adventures , readcomiconline.to/Comic/The-Batman-and-Robin-Adventures , readcomiconline.to/Comic/Justice-League-Adventures , and readcomiconline.to/Comic/Justice-League-Unlimited
Do you guys think that maybe if put the pressure on warner bros like we did for young justice, they can continue the first DC animated universe?
Batman: The Brave and the Bold was fun. It reintroduced certain characters and sometimes had the campy vibe of the Adam West series. It even created a brand new villain - Music Meister, voiced by Neil Patrick Harris. The character would later appear in the live-action Arrowverse. Sadly, the series was ended.
Beware the Batman was also another great series, which used computer animation. I loved how they chose Katana to be Batman's crime-fighting partner. The re-imagining of Katana and Alfred worked really well. Also, we were introduced to Lady Shiva as a main villain and not many of us have heard of her. Sadly, this series was ended too!
Lesson learned from these "nostalgia videos": IF YOU WANT YOUR SHOW TO STAY, BUY THE TOYS... *smh*
This is my 1st ever comment on youtube. love the channel, was one of the main reasons I started reading comics. Anyway, the reason for the comment is to say that I would love for you to do a young justice video, the more chatter the more likely for another season!!!
Great vid! I was overcome with nostalgia and feels watching this. Maybe it was the emotional background music lol
