He can create what he can imagine and as long as he keeps concentrating on it, it won't go away. One of Batman's countermeasures for Green Lantern is to implant a hypnotic trigger in his mind so that if he goes rogue, the trigger can make him think he is blind and because he thinks he's blind, the ring will turn him blind.

@@chainsawboy2388 yes. White Lanterns represent Life. Black Lanterns - Death. Black Lanterns were basically zombies with rings. However, they could be killed by the combination of Green Light and any other additional color. White Lanterns, in theory, have access to all the other lights of the emotional spectrum. Best demonstrated by Kyle Rayner and his ability to use different lights for different purposes.

Bruce and Hal were hilarious early New 52. Hal did everything in his power to piss of Bruce, just because it was funny. Batman is super ‘follow the rules’ and shadows/fear, Lantern (Hal) is super ‘do whatever’ and willpower/light. They clashed so much. One of my favorite scenes is Wonder Woman on a video call with Steve Trevor and Hal and Bruce are yelling at each other in the background. Barry comes in to ask a question and they both yell at him to shut up. They then realize Steve Trevor is watching them. Batman tells Steve to shut down the Justice League of America (not the main League) as they were ‘a joke’. Hal meanwhile asks for more snacks to be brought to the Satellite as he had taken the month’s supply of snacks home to his apartment. But when Hal leaves the League Batman is the one to try to convince him to stay, despite them constantly bickering they were the two ‘regular’ humans and bonded over that.

Some context about the flash. Barry to hide his identity goes to the extreme and is intentionally late while out in civilian wear. I think he even says "I haven't seen the first 15 minutes of a movie for a decade" in the comics. So he really really commits to the bit to make sure no one thinks he is the flash.

Yes, the Green Lantern Corps is an intergalactic police force, and each member watches over a specific sector of the universe. Hal Jordan's sector also includes Earth, his home planet.

[@J__T]

He was in no way connected with Marvel given that Marvel Comics didn't yet exist when Captain Marvel was created. He debuted not too long after Superman and was the boy scout's number one rival in comic sales for a long time. Captain Marvel's name was never SHAZAM originally for two reasons; firstly, because it is an acronym meaning wisdom of Solomon, strength of Heracles/Hercules, courage of Achilles, power of Zeus, _endurance_ of Atlas, and the speed of Mercury; secondly, because originally and all the way until very recently if the word SHAZAM was ever said it would change Billy Batson to or fro his superhero form and thus if it was his name, he would never be able to say it without instantly revealing his identity. The reason his name is only sometimes Captain Marvel today is because Marvel won the custody battle on the name despite Billy Batson being the Original Captain Marvel. Thus Billy can only be called 'Captain', 'SHAZAM', or 'Captain Thunder'; however, the line is very blurry and as long as he is not a main member, he can still legally be referred to as 'Captain Marvel' without penalty. It's all very confusing, convoluted, and frankly boring. A little fun fact for ya is that you can thank Captain Marvel for all of Superman's super-family. Mary Marvel, based on the creator's own daughter, was so popular that CM started beating out Superman by leaps and bounds, so DC bought out her creator when CM's parent company fell thru with him and had him create her own rival in the form of Supergirl. Eventually, CM would get CM Jr. as well as Sergeant Marvel and all the others just as Superman would get Superboy, Krypto the Super Dog, the Super cat, the super horse (that crushes on Supergirl for some reason), and the Super primate. I don't really recall if all these additions came before or after DC acquired CM. Technically, I never understood how Superman could defeat CM given that Kryptonians are weak against magic and CM is literally a wizard.

[@VeryFastRodi]

The intro between Bruce and Hal is one of the best moments ever Hal realizing Bruce is just normal while doing all the crazy stuff he does, and Bruce just knowing full well he can mess with him at any time. "you wont do that again...." "if i want to" Bruce knowing already he did it once so easily, a second time is just as easy. Young Justice is gonna be fun times too also

[@wr5488]

Their bickering in the comics is hilarious. Hal realizes he can constantly get under Bruce’s skin and they constantly antagonize each other. At one point even Barry asks Hal to chill with messing with Bruce and why Hal does it, and Hal says ‘it’s fun’. BUT Bruce is actually the one who tries to talk Hal out of leaving the League when Green Lantern and Wonder Woman fight and nearly destroy a neighborhood.

[@whoissabal]

so technically the last movie you watched (Flashpoint Paradox) but really this movie is the beginning of the DCAMU with 16 titles in it. they’ll all be in the same continuity. there’s quite a few continuities and a few standalones. for the DCAMU Justice League Flashpoint Paradox Justice League War Son of Batman Justice League Throne of Atlantis Batman vs Robin Batman Bad Blood Justice League vs Teen Titans Justice League Dark Teen Titans Judas Contract Suicide Squad Hell to Pay The Death of Superman Reign of Superman Batman Hush Wonder Woman Bloodlines Justice League Dark Apocalypse War Constantine House of Mystery Constantine City of Demons You hit it on the nail with saying that the previous one reset the universe :)

Because everyone in star city knows the flash and he actually takes time to talk to them and help like he's helping old lady's cross the road. Either way he's choosing to be late because he decides help/ take his time to enjoy talking to people before work. Also there's literally comic panels where Barry says to Wally to be late once and a while to avert suspicion.

[@Ragdefender]

No prep time in this one.

[@billbill6094]

I don't think any media makes Superman weak in comparison to Batman. There are plenty of stories that take place before Batman knew of any way to beat Superman, and even "presently" he still usually has to manipulate Clark in some way to _not_ fight. Such as having Catwoman throw Lois Lane off a roof to undo Ivy's hypnotism on Clark to kill Batman. Batman acknowledged then that if they ran the fair one and if he wasn't already resisting Superman would've splattered him. Or Bruce planting a thermal field/trigger around his body that if Clark's dense body passed through would "blow up some innocent in Gotham." The "innocent" was Batman himself but it stopped Superman because there was no real "lie" for his heartbeat to give away to Clark's super hearing, and he could see the thermal trigger with his vision. I just think now in comics there are so many ways Superman can be beat or has been beaten outright it'd be stupid if Batman didn't have a few. Superman even helps with a few of these, such as giving Batman a kryptonite ring or helping forge the Hellbat armor.

Billy holds the power, but eventually he shares it with the others.. SHAZAM is an acronym for the powers of Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury. At one point in his history, he was considered more powerful than Superman.

1:47 there’s a comic where Bruce finds his way to the flashpoint universe and meats gun Batman

[@SWAHswah-tm7sn]

And then they ruined it bringing him back constantly.

Yeah I hated that weird WatchMen arc. Super unnecessary and led nowhere, but they made sure to shit on Tim Drake even more.

*Darkseid is* I feel like this is what the DCEU Justic League wanted to be, an epic joining of Forces between a bunch of heroes against the forces of evil.

[@thewerewolff7248]

This and All the next movies are set in the new timeline flash created at the end of flashpoint paradox. Stopping himself from saving his mum didn’t restore things to how they were it just creates a new, more normal timeline but one still different from his original. The flash in this movie hasn’t yet been replaced by the one who went through the events of flashpoint.

[@Lucas_Carvalho616]

Shazam is kinda off a demi god as well. He's powers are magical. He's name is a acronym, he's got: Wisdom of Solomon, Strength of Hercules, Stamina of Atlas, Power of Zeus, Courage of Achilles and the Speed of Mercury. In his peek he can fight toe to toe with Superman and win since Clark is vulnerable to magic.

[@billbill6094]

One thing a lot of Batman media outside the comics gets wrong is that Batman isn't meant to be thought of as entirely real, and by those who do think he exists they shouldn't think he's human. That's why Green Lantern and Flash were so surprised from meeting him. Often people think he's just a Gotham myth, and that was on purpose by Bruce Wayne. The whole point of dressing up like a Bat instead of just normal tactical gear was to prey on the superstitions and cowardice of criminals, it's using their fear as a weapon to keep the criminal element in line. The weapon is strong but it's lessened when he breaks the rules like when he comes out during the day out of necessity, it's a pretty big point in pre-flashpoint comics that people are less afraid of him seeing him in daytime. If you look at the Batman Year One comic, Batman Begins movie, or Batman Arkham Origins game, they do a pretty good job of showing you how fear shapes the myths people share about him as a supernatural creature, not even a metahuman just some primordial force of nature. In fact he doesn't even name himself Batman in the comics and in some more accurate adaptations, people just called him that from his looks and then he claimed the symbol because of the good it does.

[@luciagilgsthmrvls]

21:40 And this is also like a "his father won" bc now like this he cant be a football player anymore. So he basically crushed his dreams. A bit of understanding now on how fkd up Cyborg was later on...

24:20 Yeah the kid facing down an Alien people snatcher decided his best chance at survival was not to run, screaming, looking for an adult but to grab a wooden stick, yell a nonsense word (to anyone who doesn't know what it means) and swing at the Alien people snatcher clad in Alien Metal Armor.

[@Quantum_Asylum]

To be honest, I would say the DCAU is a DC animated version of what Marvel Studios achieved with a MCU (exception of post endgame) when it comes to a series of movies, and you will be in for such a ride and treat if you watch them all in order if you can.

[@stingerbrg]

DC did it twice. These movies are the DCAMU (DC Animated Movie Universe), and the original DCAU (Batman, Superman, Static Shock, Batman Beyond, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited).

[@tipjrjr326]

2 crazy things in this movie: Darkseid keeping up with the flash while punching the ground and stopping periodically and Shazam tanking two lazers when Superman was taken outta comission by one.

[@DB_08-u2b]

Also wonder woman was flying in the flash movie that's how she chocked the dude with the white hair with her rope.

[@jacquesmassard9226]

in the versions of victor being shown really hurt before becoming cyborg this is one of the more tame versions of it.

[@gachanugget5710]

Shazam/Captain Marvel is a really cool superhero concept, and since you guys commented on not knowing his origin I felt like it'd be cool to share it! Basically (this varies with the adaptation) Billy Batson is a 10 year old street kid who lost his parents and lives in Fawcett city. He's often portrayed as troubled and rough around the edges (from being orphaned, homeless, and in rocky foster situations), but is meant to have a pure/good heart, and looks after those who can't look after themselves. Sometimes he has a foster family (newer adaptations such as this movie) and sometimes he's literally just a kid living in an abandoned apartment with no-one looking after him but himself (this is objectively funnier because he just seems to... own the apartment?). He comes to be Captain Marvel after being selected by an ancient wizard named Shazam. Shazam kinda just yoinks this orphaned homeless ten year old (usually bc of his pure soul and all that) and proceeds to give him the powers of Solomon (Wisdom), Hercules (Strength), Atlas (Stamina), Zeus (Power), Achilles (Courage), and Mercury (Speed). Billy Batson becomes Captain Marvel, the champion of magic and dubbed Earth's mightiest mortal. Overall, he's such a fun concept to play around with in regards to the uniqueness of his situation, and I hope you'll learn to like him as much as I do!

[@timedragon5492]

If you guys really want to be a big time Superman fan, you've GOT to watch "Superman vs the Elite." It, unfortunately, isn't part of this series, and it's one of the best animated DC projects out there.

[@No8Named8Shadow]

So excited for this wormhole! I’ve grown up with DC animation so seeing you guys explore the DC universe warms my heart. Lots of great stuff out there. I’m sure it’s been mentioned before or was cut out of the reaction, but don’t forget to stay for an after credits scene. Lots of the DC Animated Movie Universe films have them.

[@sushijuice6895]

new universe remember ? just cause Barry let his mom die doesnt mean he undid everything , it just means he set the similar timeline into motion. this one's different

Yo thanks to you guys im enjoying movies again. For a while ive been thinking movies have gone sorta stale in creation but you guys are making watching these fun again. Keep up all the good work

[@CptZargon]

In pretty much every superman story, his parents send him to earth as a baby, he grows up as Clark until the powers kick in and his earth parents show him the pod he landed in. It has some crystal thing in it that, once he's more or less mastered his powers, he takes to a remote frozen wasteland, I don't know if it's north or south pole, and it creates his fortress of solitude. the Fortress has records that his Kryptonian dad left for him, teaching superman all about where he came from, what he can do and all sorts of other parenting wisdoms.

[@I_love_DBZ]

While Wonder Woman is very "fish out of water" in this movie she doesn't stay this way.

Green Lantern is such a good character with so many potential builds from his ring, but the movies and cartoons like these nerf so damn much. The jumping he got in this one tho is funny as hell

I wish I were there to explain but you guys but yes this iteration is “The New 52”, the flashpoint paradox WAS a rewrite of the dcu for this universe its imo the best animated version enjoy

If memory serves, Shazam is actually an acronym of the six gods that bestow power to Billy. Solomon Hermes (corrected when I looked up) Heracles A(had to look up) Atlas Zeus A(had to look up) Achilles M(had to look up) Mercury

Facts this guys and most people aren't even comic book fans ,they only like MCU but the know nothing about these characters imagine not watching, Superman the animated series, justice league animated series and justice league unlimited,teen titans wonder woman 1989 😂😂😂, they only watch the trash DCEU movies

[@Dillon_Calhoun]

First Star Wars and now DC. You guys are going down some of the most extensive lore rabbit holes of all time. But we got you.

[@connorjung2245]

The DCAU genuinely was some of the better comic book content I watched when it was coming out. Happy you guys are covering it.

[@Zurrenarr45]

So at the end of flashpoint Barry reset the timeline, but it didn’t go back to exactly the way things were. That final scene where he gives Bruce the letter is later in the timeline. This movie shows how the league forms in the new timeline.

[@ExMalakite]

When Barry fixed the Flashpoint Paradox it reset the universe so things are different. It’s a reboot.

[@edixon1995]

Hopefully you read this for clarification: The DCAMU starts with Flashpoint Paradox, which like you guessed did reset the universe. In that movie, at the beginning and end of the film both Flash and Batman have slightly altered costumes, in which is a hint that things had been slightly altered. Justice League War is an origin story of how this Justice League formed in this universe and all the movies follow in more of a linear story line from this movie so it will feel more straight-forward. Also please stay till the end of credits. They DO HAVE POST CREDIT SCENES. And after you watch Justice League: Throne of Atlantis, you should also watch a little short called Nightwing and Robin in the same reaction because it leads towards the following movie.

[@josejosefino7361]

The Falshpoint, and other such events, are used by the writers as a way to clear the board and update their Heroes. Superman and Batman have both existed since like 1930s and much has changed since then. JL War is the next movie after Flashpoint movie and a new beginning of the Animated DCU. The board got cleared and now we got a new series.

[@wr5488]

New 52 Superman’s parents were murdered by a multiversal monster when he was a teen, to try to corrupt Superman’s story. Thus he grows up a little tougher and harder without the Kent’s support and love.

[@ricochet1351]

1. In most cases, Ma and Pa Kent explain Clark's origins to him when he develops powers (as any good parent who adopted a baby from a spaceship would.). 2. Superman's story is similar in most iterations, though in some universes, as you've seen in Flashpoint, he sometimes lands in places that aren't Smalleville, Kanses. Like Soviet Russia for instance, or late 1930s Germany...

[@Roofpizza-o8u]

The adventure time video I commented on reminded me I haven’t really watched that show except for a few episodes, and since i’m close to the modern spongebob episodes, which means i’d have to wait a week or more for each episode, i figured I’d start watching adventure time when i’m done with spongebob, and i’ll see your reactions while i’m watching the episodes

[@Mordring]

Yes, this movie is a reboot of DC Animated Universe. All movies in this era are connected and often reference events from previous movies. The entire phase is known as DC Animated Movie Universe, or DCAMU. Flashpoint Paradox is included and considered the first of the phase but it's kind of a missing link between the previous era of mostly standalone DCAU movies and DCAMU. Justice League War is the first that is fully part of this phase, while Justice League Dark: Apokoplips War is the last one. Then we move on to the next phase known as Tomorrowverse following the first movie of the phase: Superman: Man of Tomorrow. However, there's still 14 DCAMU movies left for you to watch so you guys will stick around in this phase for a good while!

[@ligtningdog6399]

“He is way more OP than I thought.” The Green Lanterns are the types of characters that could literally solve any and every problem in seconds if the plot allowed them. Be the way, you guys HAVE to watch the Green Lantern animated.

[@jacobcenter7374]

To my understanding, this takes place in the new timeline created by Flashpoint, but earlier in the timeline than what we saw at the end of Flashpoint, which is why Barry in this movie doesn't remember the previous timeline where he already worked with the League

[@Ghost_Void226]

Omg i love this movie. The whole idea if the justice league coming together in the middle of fighting a big threat is always awesome to me. No meetings or invitations they all just come together to save the world and decide they might as well make a team.

[@RKO1217]

One of the most mind blowing things to me about Darkseid is that every version we see is just an avatar of the ‘real’ version that lives in a different plain of existence. Cus if the real deal showed up, the universe he would enter would be destroyed by his presence alone.

[@SebasTian58323]

I recommend watching the show Smallville. It's an honestly amazing show about Superman's time growing into being Superman, from highschool to adulthood, and it even has comics continuing the story

Green Lantern is from Coast City (San Diego) Wonder Woman is from Gateway City (San Francisco) Superman is From Metropolis (New York City) Batman is from Gotham City (apparently also new York City...but in New Jersey) Flash Is from Central City (Kansas City, Missouri) Shazam is from Fawcett City (it changes, usually it's Minneapolis, Minnesota, but has also been described as being a suburb of Philadelphia, if not Philadelphia itself)
