IT was a real drama would they come back ...

Flash disappearing into the Speed Force was a very emotional scene. Also liked seeing how everyone mourned when Superman seemingly died. Love the DCAU Justice League!

[@jonathancook7616]

The latter was definitely a very adult episode. You had Superman in a wasteland future with no access to his powers (due to Vandal Savage making the sun red) and trying to figure out how to survive. Only to come across Savage himself now toned down and into "a lot" of Self-Help Books. Side note: I always hated how CN treated DCAU Justice League as sometimes the stories were WAY better than some of the live-action CW series episodes.

[@Neuromancer2035]

Good list, though in my personal opinion, the darkest moment/setup would definitely be from the episode Legends. Finding out the whimsical, Golden Age-like comic book world was really an alternate earth annihilated by nuclear war, the whole city was a realistic illusion created by a mutated psychic obsessed with his heroes (except the inhabitants, who are all forced to live 'happy' lives...imagine doing nothing but driving an ice cream truck for 50 years), and the superheroes the League meets are also themselves just illusions of heroes who long since died protecting the city from nuclear war, was just...wow. The ending was also heartbreaking yet triumphant, the illusory heroes living up to their own legends, taking down the psychic mutant orchestrating the whole thing even though it means they themselves disappear forever. I was pretty stunned when I first saw it.

You're right they are quite different versions from different universes. It's apples and oranges. I could like them both. But in this case, I like oranges and not apples. Also in this case, the apple is rotten. So it's simply one fruit that tastes good versus one that doesn't. (Flash lost me by season 5.)

To me, the darkest moment is during one of the episode where a virus was released to the world, that targets human males and it is a 100% fatality rate. Which was cause by a amazon name Aresia to-in her mind-get rid of the evilness that is man’s world. This is incredibly dark because of the implications if wonder women & Hawkgirl didn’t stop Aresia in time and get the notes of a cure. I.E: The ultimately extinction of the human Race.

[@nicholasfarrell5981]

Also, that it was largely Hippolyta's fault for teaching her that men were inherently wrong when Aresia was kept alive by a man (according to the episode, the only man buried on Themyscira) who was the only reason she ended up being adopted by the Amazons instead of drowning.

FINALLY NEW VIDEO OMG

[@trevturp7687]

Thank you for making this video, bro.

[@R_eagan]

It’s been awhile...it’s great to have you back!

[@rahn45]

Here's a 2 for 1 - Both times when Vandal Savage took over the world: Dystopian nightmare where humanity is under his heel or Apocalyptic future where all humans are dead.

[@DD8842]

I loved this show it was something special.

[@L_egi]

i missed your videos, im glad you are back

[@DD99654]

the reason aces scene was touching is bc it was batman who was there, who opened up and showed how he is the most human of the team, not just some hardened vigilante but someone who feels empathy for a dying child

[@MegaJdogg91]

I still remember the episode where hawkgirl had to put down solomon grundy.

[@Kragar01]

Yeah, and it even though he surrendered to death in the end it wasn’t a “clean” kill, she had to beat his brains in with her mace. I imagine it would have taken several blows

[@issacfrausto9093]

Same I watch this guy everyday

[@MikoyanGurevichMiG21]

3:24 when you realise a whole fighting videogame franchise and a comic book series was inspired from this episode and they were all also called Injustice.

[@damianstarks3338]

Can’t thank you enough for taking me back to my childhood with this video.

[@will_the_warlord8913]

#10:28-10:40 caught me off guard as a kid seeing power girls body twitch like that made me feel kinda bad for her. #JLReunion2021

[@markgundle4150]

Aquaman cutting off his hand wasn't dark. It was *metal*.

[@trevturp7687]

Mark Gundle Actually, I think it was dark.

[@hoangminh3518]

This reminds me of good ol time watching this show every late night on CN. Thank you!

[@supermario_49]

This show was my childhood! I still love it to this day!

[@marlonclark1896]

same

[@Cam90K]

Can you do a video top crimes ever done by villains?

[@Fables107]

Dang man I thought you got corona virus or something. Nice to see you back!

[@thuongbuianhhedgefishsuppo7550]

I think he did get coronavirus, I don't know, if he does have an account on social media, I would ask him if he did get infected.

[@manuelgreggs6973]

The narrator just made death sound so calm and soothing

[@soulscompendium4769]

Well done sir good picks.

[@knightofarkronia8652]

3:05 Unless, of course, you believe that Hell is a thing. P.S. Was anyone else expecting the Dr. Destiny episode to appear on the list?

[@evohumans]

Yes, the Dr. Destiny episode was dark.

[@LSween7573]

1(for me)every nightmare from that one episode were there put into a nightmare

[@jamesstrain1631]

The episode with Doctor Destiny

[@justingoodroad3753]

When I saw Batman making a friend with ace and then carrying her corpse almost made me cry

[@rohaildad9820]

I've been waiting so long for you to upload

[@JoeL-yq1iv]

That's not what Question realized. He grasped that Luthor was fully capable of manipulating Superman into following a similar course of action, with Superman's own sense of morality being the -only- thing standing in the way of armageddon. He is fully aware that the Justice Lords are, actually, from another reality.

[@thepublicpotato3887]

Batman the animated series: am I a joke to u

[@deadeyedra90n70]

Please give us a part 2 Seriously I loved this.

[@stevenf1953]

How about Hawkgirl having to kill Soloman Grudy? He was wild but he remembered his bird girl. She cried when she had to kill him after he had died a hero in another EP.
