I know it's annoying that some things are covered up due to copyright claims *thanks KZbin* but I had to re-edit and re-upload this video 7 times before not getting any more claims. Also let me know what I should cover next!

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

Amazing.

[@tacogodboomdogg]

Dark heart was an absolute banger when I watched it as a kid. Back then, the action scenes are all I cared about.

[@gwenfairholm8080]

So quick explanation of captain atom exploding, from what i understand, captain atom was turned into pure energy in a military experiment (he was framed for a crime he didnt commit and that was the only way he could get a pardon), and that energy is contained within his containment suit to keep him in a humanoid form. This gives him incredible strength, and the ability to absorb and emit energy. But dude is basically a walking nuke, so if his containment suit is breached, all his energy is dispersed in the form of an explosion, and he knew that, which is why he flew up into the stratosphere to protect everyone nearby from the explosion. And once the mission was done the league was able to repair his containment suit and collect all of his energy and stuff it back in the suit. Hes a really interesting character, but i feel like he is always kind of damned to be second fiddle because hes not popular enough

[@Zach.R]

Yeah I did assume that he was basically just walking energy that could explode if the suit is compromised but it just sucks that the show didn't go further into his character. You get a little more in season 2 but that's about it

[@imverygerby]

It’s because dr manhattan stole his gimmick and did it better….. ironic

[@joshuaharrison1633]

He’s blown up in abt 8 diff comics

[@manniefresh7354]

He and Firestorm suffer from that potential to be a nuke! And yeah Doc Manhattan is pretty much him, to the extreme

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

I remember when they played these shows on Cartoon Network in the early 2000's.

[@Layla-gz4ed]

The Suicide Squad episode is frankly my favorite. The villains interacting and showing how actually scary encountering the league members is for the regular villains is so fun. Also Deadshot being scummy, and the background heros fighting too. Personally I’m happy harley didn’t get put into this one, especially with the bloat we have nowadays it would’ve just blended together into the rest as it aged

[@Benshavit493]

The black and white scenes are not flashbacks, they're what Terry thought he was going to do but he doesn't do it at the end, this is evident with the real flashback being in color and the ending scene making no sense if the black and white scenes were real

[@Zach.R]

I don't think that's proven to be true but that is definitely an interesting way to think about the black and white sequences since the Justice League flashback is in colour. Maybe someone like Dan Riba, Bruce Timm, Dwayne McDuffie or Jerry Siegel have confirmed this but idk

[@raidenstark315]

The crew already confirmed on a interview

[@jdizzy5044]

This video does put a smile on my face -thanos probably

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

Zach R. is doing God's work.

[@grahamsebren2295]

Absolutely loved this entire series. This version of the DCAU is genuinely my favorite series of Super heroes shenanigans. I had a basic appreciation for it when I was a kid because cool super hero’s. However watching now as a 21y/o you really see how far they pushed the bill to create a show that will hold up forever.

[@SecretMagician]

Fun fact: in the Double Date episode of Season 2, the guy called Steven who Black Canary and Green Arrow are meant to protect is actually the father of that unnamed albino psychic shown in the Season 2 episode of Batman Beyond about the telepathic girl who gets kidnapped.

[@hannahmabbott7370]

The albino psychic's name is Edgar mandragora.

[@Hiphop4life7083]

Thank you very much for all of your hardworking!!! These videos make my work days complete. Just got off work and going to watch this as I make some food and relax. THANK YOU!!!

[@Zach.R]

Thank you for watching them :)

[@hitlowftw9804]

I do recommend you to do static shock such a great show and would love to see your opinion on it

[@noone-mo6gy]

I'd LOVE a Zeta Project video.

[@TheGuyThatFell]

Goated vid good work man

[@Zach.R]

Thank you heaps!

[@keasbeytcg]

Quick cool bit in "for the man who has everything", there's a moment at the end of Clark's convo with Jor'el (spelling?) where the VA shifts to the VA for Pa Kent for a line

[@nessie_roswell]

Not sure if anyone else has said this, but I do believe that Rorschach is based off the question, if memory serves they wanted to use the question or something like that but they could for some reason so they made Rorschach. At least I think I read that somewhere, but I stand to be corrected 😄 great video

[@qocket]

Nice Lego Sets in the background. Also the Trickster has got to be one of Mark Hamil's most underrated roles.

[@Zach.R]

Thank you and it definitely is

[@GOF2013]

Here goes three hours of my day! I was planning to watch The Truman Show today but I think this is even better

[@XsToyUniverse]

Check out Crisis on Two Earths. It was supposed to be the inbetweener til it was reworked into something standalone. However the script holds up

[@blackknight3699]

Yessss it’s finally here 🎉🎉🎉❤

[@The_Phantasm]

The reason Nightwing wasn't allowed to officially appear in the show was due to that stupid Bat Embargo where where there weren't allowed to be multiple versions of characters in different media that were running at the same time that was made because of Christopher Nolan.

[@gwenfairholm8080]

You should totally check out static shock and the zeta project! You should also check out the movie justice league vs the fatal five, which im pretty sure is also in the dcau

[@Zach.R]

I probably will talk about static shock at least in the future but I have covered Justice League vs The Fatal Five in my Every DCAU Film Ranked video :)

[@gwenfairholm8080]

@@Zach.R oh crap, I didn't even realize you already did the films! Guess I know what I'm watching next lol

[@sidwestcott4718]

Surprised that no mention was made of the Ultamen being a cool Easter egg call back to the original cartoon Superfriends TV series.

[@Zach.R]

Honestly didn't even know that the Ultimen was meant to be a reference to the superfriends but that is interesting

[@drobert486]

You missed the fact that the kids Vigilante and the Shining Knight saved were Jack Kirby's Newsboy legion!!

[@Zach.R]

I didn't know that at all and don't know who the Newsboy legion are but that's another cool little detail in the episode

[@sami444L]

this deserves more views man

[@Zach.R]

Thank you! I appreciate that a lot!

[@bakl3467]

2:07:33 just wanna say that actually a Gamera copy/reference in terms of design. Since his first movie he was a bad guy but later sequels and other universes he's a defender of earth and children.

[@Joel-nu1ed]

2:16:23 this episode just proves that flash is a nice guy in the good kind of way

[@Joel-nu1ed]

Everyone in mistaken, booster gold for Green Lantern must be color blind

[@MrB2damac]

1:13:13 yeah I had the screen minimized at work lol so it caught us in the office off guard

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

Can you do X-Men 1992 - 1997?

[@chasemartins3359]

def would want to see static shock

[@The_Phantasm]

One of the things they wanted to do the most in this show was forming the Birds of Prey which most commonly consisted of Dinah Lance aka Black Canary, Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl and Helena Bertinelli aka Huntress. Batgirl had long been introduced in the DCAU and was voiced by Tara Strong. The episode "Double Date" (scripted by famous Birds of Prey author Gail Simone) in season 2 would have also featured Barbara's debut in Justice League Unlimited. But due to the restrictions on Batman-related characters, she was replaced with Green Arrow and the Question. At the end of the day they said the episode we ended up getting was better anyway so they didn't mind too much. The reason she wasn't allowed to appear along with may other Batman related characters was because of the Bat Embargo. It's why Nightwing, Robin, Batgirl, Scarecrow, Riddler and other characters didn't appear in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. It's also why Batman never appeared in Teen Titans and why Robin only appeared in The Batman 2004 series after Teen Titans had ended and why villains who appeared in the Nolan films never appeared in The Batman 2004 series like Ra's al Ghul, the Scarecrow and Two-Face. More puzzlingly, the Mad Hatter, who never appeared in the Nolan films, was also absent.

[@albertopadillatrasvina7657]

Thank you

[@Zach.R]

Thank you for watching :)

[@raulgarcia5090]

I'm interested in the Celtic shark breakdown I don't know what product is but I'm interested in the other 1Static shock I mean static

[@The_Phantasm]

The news reporter in "Flash and Substance" is Linda Park who is Wally West's wife in the comics. This was the start of their romance in the DCAU.

[@Zach.R]

I found that out as I was editing the video but it is a pretty cool detail

[@frankiemiller5364]

Excellent ending hahaha 😂

[@dcauwatchtower]

Review Zeta or else

[@Zach.R]

Damn man I guess I got to now... Well seems like I'll do that when I finish Young Justice 😎

[@masterbeast-sz1yq]

It's hard to decide

[@maximusprime3459]

I believe the animated movie Crisis on Two Earths was intended to bridge the gap between Justice League and Unlimited but for some reason they repurposed it for their unrelated animated movie series.

[@Layla-gz4ed]

Wonder Woman didn’t ‘wake up’ as Mongol never knocked her out, she was playing possum! It’s def one of the best episodes, so heartbreaking. Personally I don’t hate Mongol, I especially liked him this episode being a bastard who then gets his shit kicked in

[@nameless5512]

“Batman’s not having much luck, and neither is Wonder Woman” Brushing past the fact that Wonder Woman is getting her *Shit* kicked in 💀

[@Zach.R]

To be fair they do get their shit kicked in quite often haha

[@TheCaotix]

41:50 Amazo " defeat" and Tp was litearaly a chrap excuse to get rid of him, he was a walking Deus ex Machina, and there is no good story and drama if you have one of those at hand, so they pull another more bullshit deus ex on him and Tp him out of the show.

[@misterformerlyknownascolad2859]

I hate that people call him Shazam, it's so wrong. He will always be Captain Marvel or the Captain to me.

[@EnsignRedSquad]

Interested

[@ihnemii]

Do static shock

[@nebriancoleman4704]

I was hoping for the U.S. War Machine run with mandroids

[@Zach.R]

?

[@nebriancoleman4704]

@Zach.R I think this was supposed to be on a different page! My favorite is the Flash day episode

Cool

[@The_Phantasm]

Justice League Unlimited to me will always be the best thing to come out of the DCAU.

[@BleedinggreenDrakeford7]

I didn't like it

[@The_Phantasm]

@@BleedinggreenDrakeford7 I didn't ask

[@BleedinggreenDrakeford7]

The Creeper was never a villain. He's a hero.

[@Zach.R]

Just definitely seemed like a villain in The New Batman Adventures

[@marlo176]

​@Zach.R The creeper was originally going to make more appearances in TNBA and possibly become a hero like he usually is but as we know, TNBA was canceled for batman beyond.

[@user-sk2tw9tq6r]

1:07:11❤

[@IamLegendaryguy1998]

It heat vision the official name not laser vision

[@Zach.R]

It's still the same thing really, that same heat is producing a laser so it's technically laser vision as well

[@hulktopf5031]

I don't like how the women are always the ones who start fighting instead of thinking. It's really weird. In one episode Aquaman stops Supergirl from attacking and the enemy says something like "oh males are the smart ones on this planet" Which is kinda reflected althrough both shows.

[@Zach.R]

I don't think it's the women in this show in general but it's definitely true with Wonder Woman and Supergirl

[@jonathancandelario9976]

Bat embargo prevented any Batman character use

[@Zach.R]

Do you mean in regards to Batman villains showing up in the show?

[@jonathancandelario9976]

@@Zach.R Any Batman related characters aside from Batman. They wanted to use Scarecrow and Riddler for the Legion as a Super Friends reference but couldn’t. Joker was going to cameo in Little Piggy, being speechless when he sees Batman with pig Diana and an entire Birds of Prey episode that had Barbara temporarily injured and teaming up with Canary and Huntress to stop an army of Man Bats was scrapped. Nightwing was in here because they technically don’t confirm or show its him

[@BleedinggreenDrakeford7]

Captain Atom is nerfed in this series. They ruined him.

[@slyyofficialmusic7219]

My Guy WHAT!!!! Nobody cares about STATIC SHOCK !?!?!?!!

[@Zach.R]

I never said nobody cares about it it's just that not many people would watch a Static Shock video compared to the videos I've been doing about the other DCAU shows

[@DaRealXXLSlayer]

So the only two shows you didn’t review were the one with the black cast and the one with a female lead is that what you’re saying you did every other show without there being a need but the show with the black cast and the show with a female lead you felt no need to do hmmmm until people express a need for it, but the shows with Caucasian male leads you just knew there would be an outpour for 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Zach.R]

I'm not even going to bother responding with an actual response because this is obviously bait.
