    Bruce Timm is definitely the Akira Toriyama of the DCAU. Constantly flubs timeline placements, gives wrong info, plotholes etc. But is hailed as the “all seeing all knowing” of the property world because he created it.

      @sonofbeardman 5 років тому +35

      That's one of the biggest head-scratchers I've had after watching "Superman: The Animated Series", you'd think after nearly three seasons without Clark fessing up that those making the show were saving it for the finale with Superman's (seemingly) final confrontation with Darkseid, with Clark considering the possibility that he may never come back from that and Lois would never know the truth about him or his feelings after how close they've grown, or that after he defeated him he was lucky to be alive and should make the most of that upon returning to Earth by confessing to Lois and trusting her with his secret, yet for some reason neither option seemed to cross anyone's mind before the show ended.
      In short: Should we get anything new (be it another show or movie) in the DCAU after JL vs FF that features both Supes and Lois (with Dana Delany reprising the role), this long overdue moment definitely needs to happen (or at least be confirmed to have happened at some point prior).

      It definitely is possible! That’s why the 2 other timeline possibilities are still technically “the real answer” as well, until we have other evidence besides Tim to narrow it down even further.

      There's just too much shit crammed in before the flashback of RotJ for it to make sense. I firmly believe the flashback had to take place between JL and JLU at latest for Robin to still be young. Otherwise we're saying TNBA, JL and JLU all happened within a couple years, which is not fun to me to compress the timeline that way.

    I’d like to see a version of the DC universe where events happen in “real” time.
    Superman Debuts in 1938, Batman in 1939, the JSA in the 40s, the JLA in the 50’s
    Atlantis, Themyscera and the Green Lantern Corps etc etc...
    The Teen Titans in the 1970s
    The Dark Knight Returns in the mid 80’s and such
    Possibly Batman Beyond in 1999 taking over the cowl, or Damien Wayne taking a similar role.
    Blackest Night in 2009-2010
    You get it. It’s like a catch all history that spans decades and all fits together.
    But today (2020 as of this comment) we could have New events, new characters, a universe that changes over time, happening at the same time as our own.
    Similar to the 2000AD/Judge Dredd universe
    I think that would be cool

      Michael Rhett I just looked into it because I’ve never heard of that before, and from what I can tell it’s a similar idea, yeah. I’ll have to give it a read. Though I would love a universe of the DC’s multiverse that is completely independent from comic-book time. Where all of DC’s history is history, and now in the modern day we have new heroes that battle contemporary issues, with characters that can age and grow, stories that always evolve, with room for in depth story telling... and pew-pew-laser-blast-punchy-punch spandex fights... gotta have those. Thank you for the recommendation btw

    I always get the sense that Bruce Timm is really annoyed by the DCAU/comic book fandom in general. In interviews he often comes across like he doesn’t particularly want to be there (even in interviews for things like The Killing Joke before it got all of its negative reception.:.). And then, of course, we see how he gets when asked about the DCAU in basically any capacity. It’s kinda a shame, but Instill respect him immensely. I just wish he could come across a little more friendly.

  • @falleneldor

    Though the pack in comics was in development in 1981, and the toys finalized that same year, it was February of 1982 that MOTU was introduced to the public either at the Toyfare tradeshow or early release of He-Man, Skeletor and Battle at. They wouldn't be popularized untill Filmation's cartoon which hit airwaves in late 1983.
    (Bonus fact for those who don't know, this is where Bruce Time started his career working for Filmation's on He-Man and freelancefor Mattel on He-Man, mostly in mini comis and some packaging art.)

    As a person from Portland Oregon, growing up watching DCAU. This was trippy. As a kid, I always thought the characters were real and dreamed they'd come to Portland so I could meet them. Imagine me watching this movie realizing I could unknowingly be a background character here. I could have a counterpart in the DCAU. Pretty exciting.
    Particularly if you research Portland, actual superheroes exist here, Gaurdian Shield, Zeta-Man, the King, etc. Imagine if they all have counterparts.

    Well, the DCAU is a place where human space stations near Jupiter and Saturn exist, so 22 bridges in Portland at the pre-2010 era makes sense in some regard.
    Anyways, watching this to conquer boredom, though I won't be watching the movie to finish up my personal DCAU long binge. "Epilogue" is still the better endgame point, with "Destroyer" before it.
    3:09: He's still sorta right. You could say Batman Beyond (minus "Epilogue") ends at 2042, 50 years after the start of B: TAS via the year 1992.
    9:20: You should see Civvie 11 and his descriptions of John Carmack.
    Shame we didn't get those prequel tie-in comics. The appearances of Ms. Martian, Jessica Cruz, and Star Boy beg many questions.
    14:28: The possibility that, if this happened in the DCAU, these heroes would have been familiar Batman allies Zatanna, Etrigan, the Creeper, Static, and maybe even Gear also stands.
    I can actually believe that the DCAU Power Ring truly died in the Worlds Collide take that we never got to see. Question, is, who and what offed him, and how and why'd his ring transfer itself to Jessica?
    Can agree that the movie should be after "Far From Home".
    19:40-19:44: NON-CANON!!!
    20:01: Isn't Harley and Ivy actually set during the TNBA/Gotham Adventures tenure due to Bats wearing the Batsuit of that era, or am I misremembering?
    20:07: Isn't this set on 2003?
    Might wanna check out
    21:55: What about John Stewart going from hairy head to bald with goatee?
    22:05: I still would prefer his grizzled Batman Beyond 2.0 look.

    we have to accept that canonically the Joker was still active near Batman’s
    retirement, which doesn't work with on-screen evidence from the DCAU." Are you talking about the story Nightwing gives Terry about why he retired? Isn't it possible that he was simply lying to Terry for some reason (possibly because the real truth involved the whole thing with Batgirl getting pregnant)? Or that the Joker seen in the flashback was just an early imitator of the original Joker, possibly an early member/precursor of the Jokerz gang from Beyond? Or Clayface in disguise? My point is, that hardly seems "non-reconcilable" to me and I think it's a little unfair to knock out such a large source of potential DCAU canon without at least giving it its own Will It Canon video or something. (Also I might be remembering things wrong. Haven't read those comics in a while.)

    Hey, Watchtower Database guys, you have a situation on so many levels. 1. When Miss Martian transformed into Tim Drake that was only as a rebuttal towards the "I don't work with teenagers" shtick. Batman also worked with Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon. They were in college during the late 90s, sure, but Dick had to have been a teenager when he first became Robin. 2. G.L. Killowag is implied to have been Jessica Cruz's trainer. 2.1. Killowag looks nothing like his Justice League self. 2.2. Katma Tui was the G.L. trainor in the DCAU. 3. The absence of evidence is not evidence, as in there is no clear evidence to suggest that Crisis on Two Earths takes place in some form or another in the DCAU. 3.1. Firestorm and Black Lightning were gonna join the League in Crisis, but they do not exist in DCAU (they have Sole Power standing in for Black Lightning and Booster Gold for Firestorm). 3.2. Hal Jordan is G.L. instead of John Stewart.
    Theory One based off of points 1 and 2: This is an alternate universe of the main DCAU.
    Theory Two based off of point 2 only: The universe crossed over with Green Lantern the animated series, as indicated by Killowag being voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson.
    Theory Three: None of these two films are canon, the writers are making it up as they go along with scraped concepts.

    You say they could push Joker's Death's Period if they keep making content in that time period but a likely scenario could be that time travel caused changes in events. Which means the events of Batman Beyond could change.
    Also you say Miss Martian could have been born between 1986 and 1992 but that depends if she "actually aged". A possible scenario could be maybe a clone like Galatea cuz technically she would be younger than 10 years old but was aged artificially.
    Also could it be possible that Miss Martian just turned into a younger version of Tim when he was an actual teenager? (on a side note you say he doesn't look 21 in RotJ but for all we know he could be very short throughout most of his life)

    • @dcauwatchtower

    On crises on two Earths in canon, Hal Jordan is the Green Lantern, so that means that he was a Green Lantern way before Once and Future Thing episode. That equals a timeline on Jordan before the Amazo coming back to Earth, and Jordan was not with the rest of the Green Lantern corp.

    Theory on how Tim Drake looks the same age in Return of the Joker flashback. Maybe somehow he got trapped in the Phantom Zone or some other dimension where time moves differently while working with the DCAU Teen Titans. So when he came out he looked the same age as when he went in even though perhaps a few years had passed

  • @theotakux5959

    Couldn't Miss Martian turning into Tim just be her saying "You've worked with teenagers before" and not "You're actively working with someone who is currently a teenager"?
    Edit: Also, if DCAU Batman knows who Skeletor is, that means he's familiar with the Masters of the Universe toyline/cartoon. This makes me happy and I'm not sure why.

    • @dcauwatchtower
      @dcauwatchtower  6 місяців тому +1

    One thing I'm surprised that you of missed was that at the end of Crisis On Two Earths, after Batman calling in "reinforcements" during the Crime Syndicate's Wonder Woman and Marvel Family's intrusion of the Watchtower, the league decides to expand. So in actuality it DOES work......except for the fact that many of those reinforcements weren't seen on JLU. But still, the IDEA works.

  • @brentandrew2419
    @brentandrew2419 4 роки тому

    Good video. I really think the shapeshifting into Tim was a nod to RotJ already having happened. The only wy it makes sense to me is that the flashback takes place between JL and JLU, or in 2002 (going by your math). We Know Tim is 51 in RotJ in 2040 or whatever, so it's really the last year he could possibly look that young/pre-puberty. Joker, Robin and the Bat supporting characters never reappear during JLU, so I don't think it's a stretch to say the Bruce we see there is in heavy trauma and denial and just not talking about it. (He kept being Batman, so he had to do something with his time) No matter how you slice it, anything after 2002 doesn't make sense, but I agree condensing the entire JL/JLU timeline into a couple years to fit it in makes even less sense.

    • @dcauwatchtower
      @dcauwatchtower  4 роки тому

      I think that’s certainly one way to look at it, but it’s up to you to think it doesn’t make sense to place it after JLU 😉. The creatives have said it’s the last present day event, and almost always say a new thing that comes out is before it. Tim’s character model is a character model, Batman likely would’ve cut ties with EVERYONE after it happened, and if Miss Martian brought it up so soon? Yikes.
