General DCAU Regarding viewing-order posts

62 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

It's my understanding that one of the most frequently asked questions in the sub revolves around looking for a decent viewing order to experience the DCAU shows in, and every now and then for the likes of DCAMU movies and such. In an attempt to de-clutter the feed from having consistently similar posts, I've begun working on the subreddit's wiki to provide multiple different styles of viewing orders!

Available now are:

Hoping to add more potential orders in the coming weeks (off the top of my head, release order ones for both universes mentioned above will probably be simple enough), but I'm also definitely doing this while sidelining other responsibilities, so if it takes a while to get to please be patient!

Hopefully, this will be a helpful project for the community at large!

Been A LOT of spoilers discussion with the releases of Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 3 and Batman: Caped Crusader.

Marking spoilers is rule #3 on this board. It's just good manners.

TNBA They should have made Catwoman a series regular in The New Batman Adventures like Nightwing, Batgirl, and Robin

Fan Work Superman If He Kept His Classic Emblem In Batman Beyond

I genuinely think Superman would've looked so much more iconic in Batman Beyond if they had just kept his classic "S" shield instead of replacing it with the angular emblem. I made this quick edit to see what it'd look like and I think it gives him a much stronger presence. What do you guys think?

Non-DCAU How was Batman able to replicate Black Spiders voice so well in Assault on Arkham?

The movie takes place in the Arkham verse, which has pretty good explanations for a lot of things, except this really, is it like tech? Or does Bruce just have that good of a vocal range, he can copy voices

General DCAU Random Encounter and standard equipment: Who is winning, DCAU Batman or 2003 Shredder?

I am aware that in the Batman Vs TMNT movie this fight happened, but since these are two entirely different version from series of around that time, i thought it would be very interesting.

For those who might not know: This Shredder here is actually a Utrom, a small yet extremely intelligent alien that pilots a body made of extremely advance alien (Utrom specifically) technology that have centuries of combat experience and is extremely powerful, strong enough to stomp all four Turtles at once (Leonardo is capable of casually pushing a giant pillar with his legs) and have bested Splinter in most of their encounters, he is strong enough to survive the explosion of a ship and once even survived the explosion of the T.C.R.I. building (which the military couldn't damage at all) without his armor, and his fighting style is purely with lethal intent.

For Batman Vengence and Superman Shadow of Apokolips just pay a programmer/developer to improve on phisics and combat mechanics, for god sake I know DC fans that would do this for free.

For Superman 64 just use the ps1 unfinished prototype as a basis, they would have FREE MARKETING just making a slight better version of the game on UNITY. Same for Return of the Joker Game.

I just think that he’s really cool within the DCAU. From his first appearance in Superman the animated series, all the way up to being part of a group in JLU. His magical affinity, his wisdom, and his love for Izna. Great character.

Genuinely loved this episode of TNBA!! Got to see Robin teach Clark how to be a decent Bruce, the baddies being stunned that Batman is way more stronger for some reason lol, just an overall good episode. That fight between Clark and Bane was so one-sidedley good too hahaha.

BTAS How prominent did Lock Up become in the DCAU?

9 Upvotes

Just curious since I haven’t seen BTAS in such a long time that I forgot how the show’s lore worked, but I recently saw a clip of Lock Up attempting to kidnap a woman for speaking the truth about injustice in Gotham City.

But basically I was interested in seeing what villains from BTAS had become a permanent part of the DC Comics universe since I know that Harley Quinn was turned into a canon character, but I wasn’t sure about Lock Up regarding his character use.

Wish this show got to continue, it deserves it's flowers so much. One of the the most underrated parts of the DCAU, the characters and the storytelling was honestly very compelling! Zeta and Ro are just so cool and fascinating to me still. 😊

JLU I NEED more of The Question

29 Upvotes

Probably my favorite character of the DCAU, besides Batman cuz yk, it’s Batman. But still, It’s crazy that he’s only the main guy in like 2(.5?) episodes. Literally the best part of the show(JLU), but there’s barely any episodes with him. I’d watch a whole show based around him. Some might say it’s implausible to make a show about him, that there wouldn’t be enough stuff to write about. But they literally made a Superman show. If they can make a show about the literal strongest man in the world interesting(no disrespect to superman) they can make a show about the question. DCAU is over tho and he’s too obscure of a character so it would never happen. A man can hope tho☹️

Asking for Help Thinking of smoking tonight. Big fan of these movies to watch after. What should I watch?

9 Upvotes

Yeah there's just something about the DC animated movies that are great while high. Big fan of the tight stories, short runtime (trust me, 7 minutes can feel like 20), and the sound design makes them super cinematic (and again, trust me, sound/music is definitely a weed thing)

What I like are:

  • Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox
  • Batman Beyond: The Return of the Joker (Uncut in widescreen)
  • Batman: Mask of the Phantasm
  • The Dark Knight Returns
  • Batman: The Long Halloween (yeah I know it's bad but a guilty pleasure)
  • Batman: Under the Red Hood (I have mixed feelings but I ultimately like this movie)
  • Batman vs Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (decadent. Batman fights Shredder within the first 10 minutes, what's not to like?)
  • Superman/Batman: World's Finest (1997)
  • Superman: Red Son (the comic's better tho)
  • Justice League: Gods & Monsters
  • Justice League Dark: Apokolips War
  • The Powerpuff Girls Movie (this is a "Brown M&M Question"/hail mary but PPG did have a run with DC Comics so this might actually count)

Neutral about:

  • Superman/Batman: Public Enemies
  • Superman/Batman: Apocalypse (admittedly I wasn't paying attention to these, so I might revisit)
  • Justice League: The Fatal Five
  • Batman & Mr. Freeze: Subzero
  • Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman
  • Justice League Dark
  • All-Star Superman (planning on revisiting before or after reading the comic)

I didn't like

  • Constantine: City of Angels - The Movie
  • Batman: A Death in the Family (where was Jason's mom? I also own the Blu-ray, so yeah I know about the other endings)
  • Batman vs Two-Face (2017) [where was William Shatner?]
  • Batman & Harley Quinn
  • Batman: The Doom that Came to Gotham (cool concept, bad dialogue/writing)
  • Batman Ninja (I don't hate anime but I do hate CGI anime. Plus everything felt like a video game cutscene)
  • Teen Titans Go! To the Movies
  • Superman: Brainiac Attacks

I refuse to watch The New Frontier because it's not in Darwyn Cooke's art style

Asking for Help Looking for a DC justice league/Justice league unlimited fic

5 Upvotes

I'm looking for an older completed Justice League Unlimited (DCAU)fanfic that was on FanFiction.net I believe it was a WonderBat (Bruce Wayne/Diana) story, and I haven't been able to find it again. Here's everything I remember:

* It was set after Hawkgirl (Shayera) returned to the Justice League

* Bruce was expelled from the Justice League because the other members discovered his Tower of Babel contingency plans

* After being expelled, Bruce returned to Gotham and continued working alone.

* He eventually took on a large number of Gotham rogues by himself, with the final and most brutal fight being against Bane.

* Bruce ended up comatose, and the League brought him to the Watchtower.

* J'onn J'onzzentered Bruce's subconscious/mind to save him, and the other founding League members went with him. I'm fairly sure the group included:

* Superman

* Wonder Woman

* Flash (Wally)

* John Stewart

* Hawkgirl (Shayera)

* Dick Grayson

* Possibly Barbara Gordon (Oracle)—I vaguely remember her wheelchair appearing. It may have been Tim Drake instead, possibly Jason Todd.

* Bruce's subconscious was made up of symbolic trials that the group had to complete.

* Throughout the journey, they discovered personal keepsakes/trinkets after beating a trial.

* One I remember clearly: Superman's trinket was a piece of his cape that Bruce had kept from the JLU episode "Hereafter."

*Selina Kyle did was a guide for the final as a subconscious/memory version of herself.

* During that final trial, Selina gave Diana a locket, telling her open it.

* When they finally opened the locket, it contained Bruce's hidden memories and feelings for Diana, revealing that he loved her. The story ended as a WonderBat romance and the League apologizing for being jerks.

I'm almost certain it was completed and originally posted on FanFiction.net. I've searched for it for a long time and haven't been able to find it, so it may have been deleted or renamed.

Does anyone recognize this fic or remember the title or author?

General DCAU Who is your favourite canonically dead character?

Thumbnail

1.2k Upvotes

Inspired by a similar post on the One Piece sub (SPOILERS).

The only rule is that we have to have seen the character die. The camera cuttingbaway as they face their impending doom then back to showing their dead body or a character being in an inescapable deadly situation and not being seen afterwards also counts.

Feel free to talk about Tuckerverse, Weisman verse or DCAMU as well.

JLU Do i have to watch JLU 2x13 AFTER Batman Beyond?

12 Upvotes

I’ve been watching JLU and really liking it. I think that 2x13 is supposed to be the finale to Batman Beyond but will Batman Beyond be ruined by me watching this episode. Batman Beyond seems really cool, but i don’t wanna feel like i have to watch 3 seasons of another show to watch what is supposedly one of the best JLU episodes. What should I do?

Edit: For context, i’ve watched like 4 episodes of Batman Beyond and watched Batman Beyond: Return of The Joker.

Edit #2- I ended up watching the episode. For others with a similar question, the only Batman Beyond episodes that would be needed to understand the episode is the 2 part pilot.
With business taken care of, let me just say that was one of the best episodes of the DCAU i’ve ever seen. I’d already seen the Ace clip before, yet it still made me cry. The voice actor for Ace is so good, just makes the whole thing way better. Additionally, the rest of the episode is also peak. Terry being Bruce’s son fits so well, it makes me wonder if they had it all planned out as soon as they started Batman Beyond. Such a peak episode. Check it out even if you’re not a Batman Beyond fan, it was just so damn good.

Really good soundtrack tbh and Kristopher Carter did an exceptional job with scoring ROTJ just like the BB episodes and this is why the DCAU had such great music since Shirley Walker and Kristopher Carter did excellent scoring!

BB barbara and bruce behaviors in return of the joker toward terry partly tied to their trauma?

6 Upvotes

Beside them thinking they're protecting terry by not having him deal with joker, I feel the trauma from the robin stuff also ahd an influence on their behavior during the movie, per example both not being that willing to tell terry what happened or bruce stupid kid line, his trauma resurfacing could've made him harsher at that moment
