He's been popping up a lot lately! He has a animated movie as well as being a major player in the Flashpoint DC animated era. He is currently lurking importantly through the recent Crisis On Infinite Earths.
What if… the residents of the Tower of Fate are the "Justice League Dark" of the DCAU? They _kind_ of fit the bill, being extra-powerful heroes and/or misfits who pop in when the normal Justice League can't handle a situation… Most of the members are different, sure, but it's not like that's anything new.
Does anything directly address in-universe Zatanna going from accomplished illusionist to actual sorceress? Now, I know that BTAS' version was meant to be more grounded, and I know that in-comics, Zatanna has used her stage act as cover. But my question is, was there ever a scene in the tie-ins wherein Bruce or someone asked about this shift?
Thanks crew for another awesome video! Also, funny enough, I was showing some friends WW Bloodlines and some JL episodes dealing with Greek Gods and monsters! Your list covered everything I showed them! Including " Here Little Piggy!" And yes we all loved Kevin's rendition of "Am I Blue?" Ill Definately download it!!
Years ago I met Paul Dini at a con here in Toronto. While he was signing all my DCAU sets, we were talking, and I brought up the Superman episode with Dr. Fate, saying how I thought it was going to be Specter before Fate showed up. He told me that both he and Timm love Specter (as do I) and they had planned to use him, but ran into licensing issues.
@@dcauwatchtower Yeah, I was lucky. At the time there was no one else lined up to see him so he signed all my dvd sets, BTAS through JLU, and we got to talk for a while. He's a nice guy.
Another great video idea for another thing I’d love to see in the DCAU that will likely never happen in an official animated project! Batman and Harley Quinn spoilers: For all the bad things Batman and HQ did, one awesome thing is that it canonized some DCAU version of the events of Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing, but that appearance at the end was just such a tease. Honestly, they could keep making Justice League Unlimited seasons without the DC trinity and still not run out of exciting ideas. The narrative potential of this universe for some reason is just through the roof
2:06 I imagined the singer of the DK Rap singing "He's first member of the D-C AU!" Now I really want a DK rap for the Justice League. I would add it to my cringe collection.
Watching this after seeing TNBA's "The Demon Within" during my DCAU binge. Won't lie, it sure wants to also want to rewatch Disney's Gargoyles in return too... and you guys better make a video or more about that contemporary of B: TAS and S: TAS nowadays. Will also await the day topics like 7:39 will expand to which tie-in comics were truly deemed as official canon by the showrunners per the "Word of God" trope.
I know this video is old but i wish you guys made a part 2 talking about the magical users/vertigo characters who never appeared in the DCAU but still could be members in a future movie/comic like Shade the Changing Man, Nightshade, Traci Thirteen,Black Alice or even Raven.
DC should just release a full DCAU collection on Bluray for like $200 that has all the shows, movies and maybe some digital copies of the comics, or something like that. Then, since it seems like they're gonna start to continue it, release another collection with the new stuff in a few years. Each standalone universe collection should have a way to easily access all of the content from that universe. Call it the early years collection
Shade the Changing Man and Madame Xanadu could have probably gotten mentions. Maybe no DCAU connections, but possibly just some brief overview of their backstories/abilities.
All of the magical threats gets defeated and solved by the magic using and knowledgeable Dark Justice League team. And depending on the threat you could can either of them! Keep it up!
Too Bad DCAU did not use Zatanna more,She have Tons of Potential,Using Real Magic against Superpowered Villains and Normal Magician skills against Non-powered ones.
I got idea to how the fit the Batman Beyond rebirth Comics into dcau so when Flashpoint happen the effects of Barry fixing everything also hit DJ use Earth and Ultra service history IMDb in Wayne to his history cousin. Maybe I want to have his own Robyn and haven't Batman Beyond reveal Hill that and he is Terry McGinnis to his girlfriend much earlier on
It seems I am always late to the party, but what about Enchantress? I mean she appears as often as John Constantine Edit: Frankenstein did appear in the dcau Justice league adventures 10 with werewolves and dinosaurs. So Frankenstein is in the dcau, but I don’t see how John has any relevance/connection to the dcau.
The question is, when are they finally going to give us the JLDark/Midnight Sons crossover so many have wanted since possibly last century? (My choice is for it to take place with DCAU art, but that's probably just me)
Putting Batman into everything from Suicide Squad to JLDark makes no sense even if it's Mr. Conroy. JLDark led by WW makes most sense due to her world rooted in mythology. JSA could have been an amazing TV show to utilize the supernatural characters. Also we saw Hippolyta going against Olympus' "decree" like a true Amazonian Queen but we NEVER saw how that followed up, or how Tartarus would now be after the events of that episode. Finally, Aresia/Fury could very well be the DCAU equivalent of Fury/Lyta Trevor who is a pretty important character for Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. Also Constantine was very much DCU completely even if his cases weren't crossing over . Y'know like most characters. Also, Sandman (Morpheus? Come on) should be in WWTAS not BTAS
The “Crisis on Two Earths” movie was originally intended to be a bridge between the JL and JLU cartoons, and in that film, it most certainly becomes WW’s invisible jet. If translated to the DCAU, just like the other character designs or the Watchtower, etc. there’s no reason it couldn’t be.
He rhymed in the JL Dark movie! But yeah, not sure. I'd never known about the rhyming thing until Ted wrote it into an upcoming "Legacies of the DCAU" issue (our webcomic). Since DCAU Etrigan never did it (besides the transformation enchantments), I never had a clue.
Well, to be fair, the DCAU also had its Ventriloquist/Scarface not do his "Bs becoming Gs" (for example, Gatman and Rogin) signature from other iterations.
wish Constantine appeared even if in a toned down version of his character. efinitely my favourite DC character of all times, he even surpassed Batman for me.
Wasn't Raven also apart of the Justice Leauge Dark at one point? Then again the only Mention of the Titans I can remember was from that one episode in Static Shock Someone correct me if I'm wrong about both of these things
It's impossible to say anything about Justice League Dark that doesn't start with it being beyond cool. It has Guillermo, I'm messing up his name, but you instinctively know who I mean, written all over it. And Swamp Thing deserves better, so does Zatanna.
We don’t have the Outsiders in the DCAU, and what we did get of the JSA we’ve talked about in our “Wonder Woman - Myth? Legend?” video-check that one out if you haven’t already!
16:02: Okay, even with ALL the out there stuff of DC (Captain Carrot? ^_^), this is just too stupid for me to accept. With all due respect to Our Savior Keanu ^_^, I hope that if the Powers That Be decide to make a Justice League Dark movie, they go with the actor who has proven he can play the character to a T, in his own short lived series as well as appearances in the "Arrow-verse": Matt Ryan constantine.fandom.com/wiki/Constantine_(TV_Series)
It's our original webcomic, "Legacies of the DCAU"! That was one of the first promo videos we did for the comic. You can read it right here: legaciesdcau.com
Watched “Teen Titans” all the way through a little while ago for our “Will It Canon?” video on the series. Didn’t notice anything about Red X that hasn’t already been talked into the ground by other people. 🤷🏼♀️
@@zediahcdemos9220 what's supernatural about Batman? Both work the same types of cases in the dcau. Being a conspiracy theorist, question would be more open to that kind of stuff than most would. He'd be able to comprehend weird stuff faced by this team easily

Very good video! The justice league dark always seemed like an interesting concept to me. I need to check out more with them
Characters missing: Shaera Hal who’s mace is useful against magical threats
Gareth McQuerry well the real question is how does batman know about Hawkgirl?
Geoffrey Lane batman
Geoffrey Lane but you really think they should have made an episode where Hawkgirl is introduced and possibly the Gentleman ghost.
Ok. I would love to see the Endless in the DCAU.

Never made a Morgan LeFey figure! She appears more than Joker. And a baby Etrigan
I need a Zatanna on DC Universe
EARTH 12 isn't the DCAU?
I now need a "Will it canon" about that
Mattie Washburn what vanishing point will be next?
Ooh boy I’m hyped
James Burgess for what?
SR Striker for the Will It Canon....
James Burgess and I’m not sure should it be

That’s just it-we focused on ones that had any DCAU connections, solely.
Tygrus would have made an excellent choice for this too, he proved himself to be a hero
All of the magical threats gets defeated and solved by the magic using and knowledgeable Dark Justice League team. And depending on the threat you could can either of them! Keep it up!
4:10 Still eagerly awaiting for that Will it Canon video proving it.

OK I subbed. This was a good video
This team is too underrated.
For real ,WB should really greenlit a JLD film.
The question is, when are they finally going to give us the JLDark/Midnight Sons crossover so many have wanted since possibly last century? (My choice is for it to take place with DCAU art, but that's probably just me)
The second storyline with Nick Necro should be a movie.
Batman is a guy in a mask who is motivated by bitterness and depression
accurate.
Dwebly II really thank you.
Putting Batman into everything from Suicide Squad to JLDark makes no sense even if it's Mr. Conroy. JLDark led by WW makes most sense due to her world rooted in mythology.

Also Constantine was very much DCU completely even if his cases weren't crossing over . Y'know like most characters. Also, Sandman (Morpheus? Come on) should be in WWTAS not BTAS
NO it was not Owlmans jet. His had buttons and levers every where very Tech based .

Technically, the closest thing to the JL Dark in the DCAU was the group of Dr. Fate, Hawkgirl, Aquaman and Amazo.
That’s actually the closest thing to Marvel’s Defenders ;)
i love the intro score :)
Thank you!
@@AdamMullen you did that score? your welcome :)
@@julianegameplaysrepeated.5682 the music that plays during the watchtower logo? Yes!
@@AdamMullen ya, nice job man. It makes this channel iconic. Its next to the vanishing point theme. Because its not THURSDAY or friday in my time :)

Could you make a video on the every villan group like you did for justice league, it would be interesting
Imagine what would happen if Captain Planet Or Ben 10 Join the justice league!
Well we definitely need a monster league and speaking of Dark do shadow thief, Ebon and the shades share the same dark powers.
Etrigan, Dr. Fate and Swamp thing are the trifecta... oh and Deadman..I'm curious though, why Etrigan doesn't rhyme outside of the comics...
He rhymed in the JL Dark movie! But yeah, not sure. I'd never known about the rhyming thing until Ted wrote it into an upcoming "Legacies of the DCAU" issue (our webcomic). Since DCAU Etrigan never did it (besides the transformation enchantments), I never had a clue.
Well, to be fair, the DCAU also had its Ventriloquist/Scarface not do his "Bs becoming Gs" (for example, Gatman and Rogin) signature from other iterations.
Back in the JLU series they were referred to as the Mystics
There might have been one but the team was instead call the shadow pact
No, you call Ghost Nappa
Ghost Nappa himself: *"Eyyyyyyyy."*
wish Constantine appeared even if in a toned down version of his character. efinitely my favourite DC character of all times, he even surpassed Batman for me.
I love it that in the DCAU version Wonder Woman is the daughter of Hades.
“Butt”
Idk why this is the funniest joke ever
Zatanna, Paul Dini's waifu.
Wasn't Raven also apart of the Justice Leauge Dark at one point? Then again the only Mention of the Titans I can remember was from that one episode in Static Shock
Someone correct me if I'm wrong about both of these things
We’ve done a whole video about who might be in the DCAU Titans!
It's impossible to say anything about Justice League Dark that doesn't start with it being beyond cool. It has Guillermo, I'm messing up his name, but you instinctively know who I mean, written all over it.
And Swamp Thing deserves better, so does Zatanna.
Awesome!
JLU Dark... Animated!
Can you do the same type of video you did with JLD but with The JSA or The Outsiders
