    I partly wish we would hear Jason Blood say the full poem at least initially. I think the only time we heard it in animation was in Young Justice. I absolutely love hearing it:
    Change, change the form of man.
    Free the prince forever damned.
    Free the might from fleshy mire.
    Boil the blood in heart of fire.
    Gone, gone the form of man,
    Rise the demon Etrigan!

    The hulking version of Etrigan could be explained as the demon being split from Jason Blood, and thus it would be in his "True Form", while his regular appearance is him being channelled through Blood's body, and therefore being physically more limited, but able to channel his demonic powers through Blood's sorcerous abilities, amplifying them.

    Kid stuff might be a light-hearted episode to a extent, but I still consider one of the darkest episodes of the JLU series.
    Mostly because of Batman's dialogue with Wonder Woman of never being able to embrace the innocence of being a child ever again and the way the episode ends.

      @@michaelandreipalon359 I don't think that's how it works. Don't know anything about PreCure but the point of the magic in PMMM is that well, they could fight stuff other humans can't even detect so really, the only advantage they have against Superman is that they could fight stuff Superman can't detect.
      Otherwise, it's an obvious win for Superman.
      When it's said that Superman has no resistance against magic, it doesn't mean shoot a magic energy blast onto him and he'll go weak, it just means the rules of magic are to his disadvantage so if someone turns him into a bunny or something, or maybe even nullify his powers, he won't be able to do anything about it.

    B: TAS not having much ghosts and goblins around sure benefits it, considering the world hasn't publicly encountered the outlandish Superman just yet. Same goes with Dragon Ball not having aliens and world-destroyers until the Z chapters.
    0:33: Strange we haven't seen a military sponsored magical girl task force be sent against the guy yet. Would be quite a lucid dream having what are basically punchy PreCures and weaponeer Puella Magi battle Supes regardless if he's rogue or not.
    Jason's betrayal sure felt like Robbie the Captain's betrayal in the Gargoyles series premiere "Awakening: Parts 1-5" all over again.
    I wonder why Morgan Le Fay stayed always masked in the JL+JLU timeline.
    3:24: This is confirmed canon, since Bruce Timm or Paul Dini said so in an interview a whiles back.
    To think the original DCAU design for the character, had he appeared in B: TAS the cartoon, had him be quite hairy.
    Le Fay's modus operandi is just Batman Beyond's Spellbinder and Cardcaptor Sakura's Illusion Card, yet again.
    6:26: That should have left negative consequences. Destroying such a powerful artifact should have released a far greater evil or something.
    Meanwhile, Mordred's later modus operandi foreshadows Klarion's from Young Justice.
    As an aside, Dakota Fanning (who also played young Kim Possible in the A Sitch in Time movie special, Satsuki Kusakabe in the Disney dub of My Neighbor Totoro, and the titular Coraline) sure nailed the child Wonder Woman in "Kid Stuff".
    The first Batman Beyond comic appearance should fit in canon. The second, I may not be sure, since he's suddenly rhyming.

      ...Is it because kid Wonder Woman is surprisingly more fanservicey than her adult self?

    Sorry mate it looks like you haven't read swamp thing... Alan Moore's take how about the new 52 run...great video but it is still lacking.

      These videos are about the DCAU versions of the characters, and the things that inspired them. They’re not supposed to be extensive summaries of everything the characters have ever been in, there are plenty of other channels that do videos like that.
      The New 52 took place years after Justice League Unlimited ended, so it’s not at all relevant. And, I have read Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing.

    I wish you wouldn't "premier" these, i get less interested in watching them after my disappointment from these not being the actual video in my feed...

      you can actually hide "Premieres" from your feed through UBlock, there's custom filters online. I personally hate that "feature" precisely for the reasons you state so I don't mind waiting a bit for the video to show up complete in my own feed
