For anyone wondering, the remaining films in the DCAMU, in order, are; Justice League Vs. Teen Titans, Justice League Dark, Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, Suicide Squad: Hell To Pay, The Death Of Superman, Constantine: City Of Demons, Reign Of The Supermen, Batman: Hush, Wonder Woman: Bloodlines, and Justice League Dark: Apokolips War.

23:12 Bruce: "I call the shots around here." Alfred, the man who raised him: "Are you sure about that?"

[@Wezt334]

The best part of the Dick and Damian interactions in both this and the comics (storyline of Dick replacing Batman when he “died”) is that they are the mirror opposite of Bruce and Dick. Bruce as Batman was the aggressor in combat and Dick was the calming influence on him, now Damian as Robin is the aggressor. And recently in the comics Dick has this line when talking to Damian who did a bad thing (no spoilers) and is trying to quit being Robin and to get him back on track and show how much he cares for Damian Dick basically says that Bruce had many sidekicks but Damian was his only Robin.

[@asellape9270]

They nerfed Nightwing so much, but at least they did his ethos well. He understands Bruce in a way nobody else does. Also, Avatar Roku Alfred is great.

[@sofiyanali2489]

Agreed. Nightwing from Young Justice is WAY more badass.

[@Kaempfdog]

I don’t feel like they nerfed Nightwing, he lost to Deathstroke who is his biggest enemy, he lost to Talon but only AFTER fighting hundreds of the undead Talons, he lost to Batman but overcame him morally, (who was reprogrammed to be more lethal and got some Lazarus pit action from a previous movie, so I say fair), he gets his butt kicked by Starfire, but your sex partner doesn’t make for a good all out sparring partner. And then there’s Damian. That’s not a Nightwing nerf, it’s a Damian buff. Fair? That being said, Young Justice still shows Nightwing WAY better.

[@eragon400]

Fun fact: Luke Fox is actually the second Batwing, the first being David Zavimbe..they are using David's version of the Batwing suit, Luke's is more of a Black Panther design

[@TheGundamsword]

I'd argue Black Panther is a Batman design.

[@cjandauntieyaya1446]

@@TheGundamsword Considering Batman has been around since 1939, I think practically all superheros have SOME inspiration from his cowl and cape. However Black Panther's body suit is very much different and meant for him to blend into the background and not a theatrical show of intimidation. Plus T'Challa was imbued with magical powers while Batman was just a rich guy who had a great intellect and even greater will. The newest version of Batman's suit is not at all the colorful one sported in 1966 when Kirby came up with Black Panther. In other words, I think our 52's version of Batman was inspired by Black Panther's style, not the other way around.

[@deshaunfortune912]

I love the expanded Batfam bc Bruce can't be everywhere at once and one day he won't be able to fight anymore. Someday there has to be a Batfam story where Gotham actually becomes a haven due to how many vigilantes protect it.

[@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps]

They're not vigilantes if they leave punishment to the justice system.

[@lazyking8445]

@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps You don’t have to provide punishment to be a vigilante. Vigilantes are people who take the law into their own hands without legal authority and such. Learn to read Ig?

[@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps]

@@lazyking8445 _"You don’t have to provide punishment to be a vigilante."_ Well, "have to" (i.e. "imperatives") is a myth, it never exists outside the imagination so you are correct in the literal sense but in the general sense you are incorrect, that is what a vigilante is; someone who decides on and administers punishment instead of leaving it to society. For example the Ku Klux Klan hanging a black man and a white woman for being lovers because that is a "crime" in the Ku Klux Klan's eyes, that's one aspect of vigilantism. _"Vigilantes are people who take the law into their own hands without legal authority and such."_ "The law" and "authority" ("legal" or any other) are myths, they never exist outside the imagination. Spider-Man swinging into a bank and webbing up bank robbers is not him being a vigilante because he's not punishing them i.e. he's not being judge, jury and executioner of punishment i.e. he is not "taking the law into his own hands".Just like if I see a rape about to happen and I wrestle the rapist and he runs off, that's just "being a good Samaritan". Now if I overpower him and say kick him in the stomach until I'm certain I've ruptured his inner organs... well, that's another aspect of vigilantism. Superman and Spider-Man... not vigilantes. The Punisher, Cardiac and Shadowhawk (the original one who broke spines so they'd never walk again)... vigilantes. Batman and Daredevil... depends on the writer, essentially. Netflix Daredevil, yes. Frank Miller Batman, yes. DCAU Batman, no. DCAMU Batman... I think no?

[@lazyking8445]

@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps My guy read the definition of the word. You’re a vigilante because you’re not following the legal authority or the justice system and taking it into your own hands. Why do you think people call Batman, Spider-Man, Daredevil, etc. vigilantes? Because they’re not law enforcement. They’re not following legal authority and are taking it into their own hands to provide their own justice. If anything, the punishments these vigilantes in comics (ie. Fiction) provide is sending criminals to jail to face the justice system established by the government smfh

[@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps]

@@lazyking8445 Definitions are written by people, not by the universe. The definition for the Sun and every star used to involve "orbits the Earth", for crying out loud. And you're ignoring already mentioned facts; "Law" and "authority" are not real, they're fictions. Sidenote: Batman, Spider-Man etc. are not sending the badguys to jail, they leave that for the justice system to decide e.g. some are out on bail later that day.

[@aliciajones1766]

Dick Grayson is my absolute favourite DC hero whether he's Robin, Nightwing or Batman and it always kills me when the movies nerf or downplay him when he's such an important character. A comic quote I love is "Besides Superman, Nightwing is one person every hero can trust." It was also theorised by Tim Drake and basically confirmed by the DC Multiverse that Dick Grayson is completely incorruptible since there is no universe in which he is a bad person. A good example is another universes Superman who's wiping out other universes for ultimately going bad tries to convince main universe Batman to see his reasoning, and Bruce asks if the Dick Grayson from this Superman's world, is he bad? Superman says no and that's what convinces Bruce that that world isn't beyond saving. Dick Grayson was a sidekick that looked up to his mentor and was mature enough to realise he could love and respect him but not want to be him, so he became his own hero leading his own teams whilst not burning any bridges but building more! He possesses the best qualities of his mentors minus the baggage and its not his grief that motivates him because he was able to accept and move on from his parents death. He is just a good person that wants to do good to the best of his abilities and having him be forced to take on the mantle he never wanted was the best thing to happen for Damian! Damian would not have flourished and grown if Bruce was his batman, he would've been trained like he was in the league minus the murder. Damian needed a gentle hand to guide him down the right path and Dick was the perfect person to fill that role. Like father like son. Bruce was edging closer to darkness and Dick Grayson Robin was the light that pulled him away and reminded him why he was doing what he was doing. Then Damian needed that same light to show him the way to becoming his own person and their brotherly relationship is such a highlight of batfamily comics! This is a such a fun movie and its nice to see Bruce take the backseat and let the batfamily take the spotlight! ((super sorry for rambling but I adore this character so to see so many movies downplay his impact on the superhero world or nerf him/constantly injure him so he cant show off how badass he is when the closest person to being his nemesis is Deathstroke! always pisses me off))

[@SkidmoreTx]

You know how screw you are when the entire Bat Family goes after you 🐧

[@fortunelekoto6704]

Batman: I work alone then after 20+ years of being the Batman he then proceeds to have one of the biggest families in the DC universe

[@AdmiralKnight]

DC once again proving they CAN indeed make good superhero movies. They just have to be animated

[@cjandauntieyaya1446]

Actually I think Nightwing is seeing Starfire at this point because Damian is sent to Teen Titans when he comes back from his little stint with the monks. I think he just doesn't want her involved with this issue in Gotham because this is a "family issue" and he doesn't want Teen Titans to tear ass around Gotham and make a mess.

[@Zurrenarr45]

The Batwing armor is the prototype for the Beyond armor that Tim Drake and Terry McGinnis later wear.

[@roxtechs]

Thought Tim Drake was Red Robin

[@Zurrenarr45]

@@roxtechs sorry just saw this. Tim has been Red Robin, but a time traveling Tim Drake took over as Batman when Terry died fighting brother eye. It was in a story that was essentially terminator but in DC. Terry goes back in time to stop Brother Eye from ending the world. He dies like Kyle Reese, Tim takes the armor and ends up jumping to the future and replacing Terry for a while. Fun but convoluted.

[@caseygraham]

I had a growing sense throughout the movie that Alfred's VA was familiar, and I searched, and I was like "oh shit" it's James Garrett who voiced Roku.

[@lucas33308]

[@frnknstndrgqn]

this is one of my favorite batman movies, Nightwing I think shined in this. Especially when he was being batman. I'm really only a fan of dick grayson taking over as batman. Even if he is happier haha. Bruce was able to give him a happy childhood. The part with Batman and the gun tho always gets me with Nightwing's speech. Even though nightwing's arm is fucked he still catches batman when he falls.

[@NotSoAverageMe]

This is a completely different Talia from the last movie where she would protect her kid at all cost, she seemed to have gone crazy( obsessed with Batman the craziest of ways and les in a Talia way) , maybe if she was a clone that would have been cool .I like 70% of this film though. Mask of The Phantasm and Batman & Mr Freeze SubZero are connected to the first run/timeline of the animated series. Return of the Joker and Mystery of the Batwoman are more connected to Batman New Adventures.

[@uncategorical]

Maybe it is the deterioting effect from the lazarus pit from her last appearance which made her crazy?

[@midnighter21]

Talia going full total villain is lazy writing and character assassination just as writing Bruce as an abusive father and a total psycho like in Titans and a few comics

[@ForeverLannister]

4:11 I was thinking where did I hear that name Onyx before, and realized she appears in Young Justice Phantoms with Cassandra Cain. 30:10 seeing Eric and Aaron gasp reminded me why this is one of my favorite animated Batman movies; I was so invested in the drama when I first saw this. I love the Bat Family content (comics and animated), it's one of my favorite Batman things in recent years. 30:37 Kate put some authority & purpose behind that word "bitch!" 😂. Also I love that the combat is well-animated and choreographed; it has a "weight" and actual technique to it.

[@cwjb]

In the comic version of this it's even weirder cuz the Heretic had Damiens face but his like kid face on the giant body and in the comics(in a different run) Kates dad was also the leader of an anti bat militia Also HOLY SHIT I just realized Alfred is Avatar Roku

The only thing I didn’t like about this movie was how Talia seemed to do a 180 on her character depth. She goes from prioritizing Damien’s safety and well-being even if it meant leaving him with Batman, to treating him like a test subject. Same goes for her feelings for Batman. She uses him like a tool then talks like he’s her true love. She lost the only humanity she had for no apparent reason.
