Just what I wanted for Easter

[@mimic1984]

Teen Titan show reactions to come later by any chance?

[@xl081]

Y'all skipped (Constantine: City of Demons) which was the introduction of Constantine 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@mimic1984]

@@xl081 They'll get to it, I'm sure. They've haven't watched these entirely in order. And they said before they plan to watch all of them.

[@xl081]

​@@mimic1984 They have been doing pretty good with staying in order besides that one movie Constantine: City of Demons

[@heavenlykarisma]

Matt Ryan is literally Constantine, was so disappointed when they didnt cast him in The Sandman. Hopefully we'll see him again someday.

[@blazingstorm9351]

Was it because J.J. Abrams signed a contract to use the TV rights of John Constantine for a Live Action Justice League Dark TV Series (Which is kinda sounds a little selfish).

[@Themandalorian935]

​@@blazingstorm9351 yeah. But at the same time neil gaiman also said it made more sense to him to just use Johanna for all the scenes. Since john only shows up for one part in the comic but Johanna does have more to do. So it was also less costly to not pick a different actor for John Constantine for just one episode

[@agm5424]

​@@Themandalorian935yeah but they drop the ball when they made two different Johanna's, the original ancestor of John Constantine in episode 6 and the one in modern time in episode 3 who is just a gender flipped John Constantine. Personally I think they should have made ep3 Joahnna the same one of episode 6 that's somehow still alive due to some type of magic and be an archetypical high end detective as opposed to Johns hard boil detective. That way we could have some development for the original Johanna and still leave the door open for the possibility of having Matt showing up as John in future seasons.

[@Swenglish]

The situation kind of was what it was, licensing-wise and so on, but I think they made lemonade with those lemons. Having Jenna Coleman play both generations of Constantine (and leaving it slightly mysterious as to why they look exactly the same) worked for the narrative, and helped link those two characters to an audience who might not pick up on their connection unless they're paying close attention otherwise.

[@aliengranpa]

They did him dirty in legends of tomorrow. Totally nerfed his powers, made him stop smoking, ect..

[@Nemisis007]

Matt Ryan is so underrated. He's the best live action and animated version of Constantine imo.

[@diegopansini3152]

Easily

[@jaystr]

Nah

[@masterbeast-sz1yq]

Yes

[@Peter-sw1mb]

Fax

[@wolfman-up7dh]

I'm still pissed that show was canceled.

[@The_Phantasm]

I love this movie and the follow-up Constantine City of Demons. Matt Ryan as John Constantine is one of the greatest castings for a comic book character of all time. Every time he speaks it's as if the character leaps from the pagees. He honestly is to John Constantine what Kevin Conroy is to Batman.

[@Nemisis007]

I agree

[@eddiecarrion6176]

Exactly 💯

[@dcworld4349]

@@eddiecarrion6176 And sadly besides animation you will never see him as Constantine live action ever again. Not that he ever got a proper shot at it, NBC was a bad fit for the show. Hannibal could get away with being weird for 3 years. Because it wasn't cheap but cheaper than what a full Constantine show would need, yet they wanted it to be a 22 episode thing until the ratings didn't do what they wanted. Because again it didn't fit the network. But it's not like the CW could have done a pure Constantine show at the time either either because of how people would automatically compare it to Supernatural. If Supernatural had gone of the air when it was supposed to until it got a 3 year extension. We would probably have gotten Constantine as a replacement show, and they could have done better things since a huge chunk of the budget wouldn't go to the actors anymore.

[@luisz222]

Hey maybe James Gunn will consider him. He’s aware of the Arrowverse, so he must know how much people love his version. Matt would be perfect and James is definitely not against a hard r rating which Justice League Dark and even more so John Constantine definitely needs. Matt Ryan IS John Constantine.

[@The_Phantasm]

@@luisz222 Believe me, no one wants that to happen more than me but unfortunately I don't see that happening.

[@Brook11223]

Matt Ryan as John Constantine and bringing that snarky, sarcastic, witty etc., personalities holding his own against Jason O' Mara's Batman is just fun to watch for this film. Also Constantine and Zatanna as a couple I definitely ship. That chemistry just worked so well.

[@TONYZANDERZ]

I like that both here and in Young Justice both universes Zatanna is A LOT more than just your average sorceress she's literally like.... the catalyst for a magical goddess that has untapped magical potential

[@dcworld4349]

It's why Fate wanted her to be the host, but also knew it would be hard to work with the league with her not wanting to do it and Zatara being a league member himself he was just really playing a long game until she could take over. Yet it seems she was the one trying to play him, and I have wondered if the show kept going if she would have been able to grow strong enough to still have Fate's power but actually be in full control. Because Nobu is just to unreliable given the time they are living in. If he wanted to he could solve so many of the problems the planet and the universe faces constantly. Yet he's only acting when the entire planet is in danger. I think Zatanna could make good use of his powers. If she was smart she would have the League do something similar for the helmet what they did for Batman and his Hellbat Armor. If you infused it with the ability to tap into the speedforce, a mother and a father box and anything else the league could come up with. Fate would be on par with Doctor Manhatten. And Zatanna as that fate wouldn't even need the helmet. Just use a spell that reforge itself to merge with her skeleton structure.

[@cypherion2718]

Yes, these are just mere compared to Zatanna in comic

[@QuickstrikeTRU]

The animated DC movies are some of my favorite reactions on the channel now. I love revisiting these awesome movies.

[@ImAlsoMerobiba]

Same! One of the highlights of my weekends now.

[@kfactor20]

I will say, when I rewatched this movie, Superman going into the shed to see all the corpses and looking back at the guy and saying, “what have you done…”, gave me chills

[@Kevmaster2000]

Finally! The DC reactions continue! I can’t wait for you guys to eventually get to JL Dark: Apokolips War. That reaction is gonna be something. It’s probably the darkest DC movie ever. Also, I love Matt Ryan as Constantine. Whether it’s in his own show, animation, or Legends of Tomorrow, he’s perfect as the character. I wish they would do a spin off show with him and Tom Ellis as Lucifer. That Crisis cameo wasn’t enough!

[@DrWatson4]

I’m both intrigued by what their reaction will be but also I really don’t like that movie so I’ll probably just watch the discussion because that movie really kind of soured the rest of the universe for me because I’m like well what’s the point then it was all pointless

[@rudrodeepchatterjee]

​​​@@DrWatson4it was to show what it felt for the heroes to actually lose badly for once, since every other movie is just "a problem hurts maybe 1 JL member badly, but he/she recovers and everybody wins. " The years of time between Losing the battle to Darkseid and trying again impacted everybody in a different way, where everybody is grieving revenge and hungers for revenge.

[@ChocoGxd]

Etrigan is such a cool character to me, i love his story

[@CorderoStephens]

first encountered Swampthing, Deadman and Etregan in Batman the Brave and the Bold cartoon as a kid, and fell in love with these characters ever since

[@robertfalk3767]

I love this movie, if for no other reason than Matt Ryan, who voices Constantine, also plays him in DC's Legends of Tomorrow, with damn near the same look

[@lalunadesangre1808]

His 1 season show was also really good. Wish they'd bring it back

[@Iylaban]

I do wish he sounded a bit more scouse, it’s more vaguely northern (I know it’s probably for American audiences to understand him)

[@lalunadesangre1808]

@@Iylaban I vaguely remember an interview where Matt talked about exactly that.

[@Iylaban]

@@lalunadesangre1808 oh really? I suppose it makes sense but I still hope we get a full Scouse Constantine one day

There's so many more of these bangers left, and I can't wait for you guys to see them all!

[@Brook11223]

One of the most hilarious things Matt Ryan ever did was by insulting NBC by using a peacock feather as a back scratcher as a way to spite the network for canceling his show. It was during season 4 of Arrow which was quite hilarious.

[@Hellohellonada]

Didn’t they have this in the same time slot as Supernatural? I faintly that being the case which was setting it up to fail against an established show of the same subject matter.

Another one of my fav dc animated movies ever I loved zatanna in this movie

Yay more Coy and John reaction!! Always more enjoyable watching DC animation content with you guys!! It be so amazing if they could do this in live action. Cautiously hopeful it can be done

[@cyberneticblood7291]

The dreamstone is referenced in the CW Flash. Nash Wells gives a shard of it to Allegra to defend herself by blasting her power through it to give her attackers nightmares

[@Daren_McClimans]

Matt Ryan was literally born to play Constantine. In live action or animation. I really hope he’s in the DCU.

[@MauriceMGrayJr]

This was a good one- I was glad to see Zatanna with such a prominent role. This was my first time seeing Constantine live or animated- I knew who he was from the comic books, but this was good. I really loved my first trip through this shared universe, and I'm enjoying your reactions to these animated movies. Next up is Teen Titans The Judas Contract (or the Constantine stand alone movie if you're doing that one)- this continuity is rolling hard and fast now, and I'm glad you're enjoying the ride.

[@GelAbat3]

One of my favorite New 52 animated movie of DC. Especially, one of my favorite DC character Constantine (the british one) ✌️ Matt Ryan really portrayed John Constantine really, really good, that everytime I see Constantine I imagined he is voiced by Matt Ryan.

[@HeraclesN-fp1bw]

I too love to see Detective Chimp in love action, but I did love how this movie shows how power Zatanna is which is only a faction compared to the comics

[@tdkofsteel]

Justice League Dark is soo good ! Can't wait for them to debut in the live action DCU

[@reginaldfrempong6644]

It would be a disaster if brought into live action

[@bullymegauire1642]

Its rumored dula peep is gonna be Zatanna

[@TimedRevolver]

A lot of people mistakenly think Superman has a weakness to magic. He doesn't. He just has no protection against it. So magic does to him what it would do to the average person.

[@pleasehelp2446]

Some of my favorite little detail in this move are 1 batman has been around the shades of death so much without ever knowing they are there, that he is immune to the effects they have on non magical people 2 Batman can scare a shade of death without even seeing it 3zatanna is shown at her full power as the strongest naturally born human ever. (Which is why the helmet of Fate wants her and her own father gave up his life to become Dr. Fate in exchange for her ) 4 Constantine took over training zatarra in magic after her father became Dr. Fate. 5 Boston the Deadman daredevil couldn't possess Batman for more than a minute because of batman's insane control over his mind and body

[@konstantinoshantsoulis7743]

Man seeing you go through these movies gets me more and more excited to watch you see how this universe storyline ends. Beyond amazing!

[@wuxing100]

Constantine's accent is from liverpool which is in the north west england and the fact Coy said he sounds northernish like london couldnt be more American. London is in the south of england, about 5-6 hour drive away😂

[@CorderoStephens]

The animated movies prove you can have a continuity of films going while also having elseworlds like Batman vs TMNT and it all hits.

Literally just rewatched you guys react to these kind of movies yesterday, and I gotta say, I'm one of those people that genuinely enjoys watching this channels reviews of something they watch. I don't normally stick around for that sort of thing, idk what it is about this Channel.

[@CoyJandreau]

:) honored

[@mimic1984]

I gotta say, I love almost every animated comic book movie and show, but DC has the freedom to be more gritty and dark than Marvel animation does. Not hating on Marvel stuff, I just love it when a show or a movie aren't afraid to go down a dark place.

[@MoramothHauntz]

Love this movie. It just makes it all the more aggravating we haven't gotten a live action version

Matt Ryan is Constantine just like how Kevin Conroy is Batman. Literally can't even imagine a better voice for the character, his voice just defines Constantine for me.

If you guys haven't watched it already (after or sometime in between these DCAU reactions) I would love to see you guys react to the original Teen Titans animated show, then the Trouble In Tokyo movie that acts as the series finale.

For such a short movie, this does a great job of introducing really interesting characters and giving them some decent focus. I wish we got more with Swamp Thing, but even what we did get was great

[@fireeaglefitnessmartialart935]

This movie was amazing. Better than it needed to be. I've been fascinated by etrigan since I saw him in the BTAS. So to see him in this was the cherry for me. Plus, I'm less familiar with swamp thing but I know of him, saw the show, so to see him in this was also fun. The action was great, the plot was good. I think one of the best installations in this series.

[@modsquad3123]

I like how this seems stand alone within the dcau, yet is the tie in to the last one and the first one of this universe!

Just want to point out that the voice of Richie here is the same actor that played him in the series as well. He was in Lost as well. Great character actor.

Love these reactions. JL dark really is one of the best Dcamu movies, Matt Ryan is the goat Constantine actor and that says a whole lot as Keanus movie was great. Would love if they somehow get Ryan into the 2nd movie

[@agm5424]

Personally while I like Keanu's movie it is just not the same Constantine from the comics, however I think his character and the world building are solid enough to be considered their own independent character/series. All it would need is for Keanu's character to have an iconic name of he's own.

[@willnutland5772]

In this continuity the follow up film is Constantine: City of Demons but chronologically it’s Teen Titans: The Judas contract. Apokolips War ends this continuity and should be watched last (not considered IG films made outside of this universe)

[@BryonPerry]

Constantine is supposed to be from Liverpool. As someone from Liverpool myself, I can't help but scrutinise the accent. If I look past it, Matt Ryan gives a great performance, but I can't help thinking that the accent is a bit all over the place.

Matt Ryan is literally the perfect Constantine, both animated and love action

[@samanthavalentine]

John Constantine is from Liverpool so his accent is liverpudlian, North west england.

You know what Constantine story I want to see animated? I know it’s hard because it’s part of a larger story and it’s an elseworlds story too but man would I love to see DCeased especially Constantine’s part. It’s peak Constantine to me. Powerful, trickster, do everything possible to prevent it including screwing others over but at the end of the day willing to self sacrifice.

Batman grunting is another of the highlights of this movie. Him just casually rationalizing what he's seen in the most Batman way possible XD

[@alejandrotuazon4831]

Whats nice about the animated movies is that they arent just adaptations from the comic so you can enjoy all the stories from difference sources :) Justice League Dark has the best storylines since Constantine's thing is people constantly die around him so you always feel there are stakes and consequences. I also recommend Apokalips War and City of Demons where he fucks Los Angeles 😊

It’s a crime that you haven’t seen Matt Ryan’s Constantine before. He’s the best portrayal of the character. It feels like he was born to play Constantine. Matt Ryan originally played Constantine in the Constantine tv show and then thanks to the fans demands he was brought back to the arrowverse. He has also voiced Constantine in the DCAMU and in Harley Quinn. The guy who voiced Ritchie in this movie is also the guy who played him in the Constantine tv show so it was cool that they brought him back as well. I will list below all of Matt Ryan’s appearances 1. Constantine tv show 2. Arrow S4E5 3. Legends of tomorrow S3 as a recurring character and then joins the cast in S4 and then plays a different character completely in S7 4. Crisis on infinite earths crossover event 5. Justice league dark 6. Constantine city of demons 7. Justice league dark apokalips war 8. Constantine house of mystery short 9. Harley Quinn animated series S3E5
