I think I just understood something about Batman I didn't get before. When Batman says he's "busy" when you're asking for his help with a massive issue that seems way more important than whatever serial killer he's dealing with this week, it's because he has complete faith you're going to deal with that without him while he's where he's needed most, even if you aren't that confident in yourself. Batman's massive confidence extends to anyone he respects as an equal or at least respectable colleague, so long as they're staying in their lane.

[@raymondfisheriii791]

In other words, Batman saying “he’s busy” is less him saying “do it yourself”, and more him saying “bro, you’ve got this” unless he was outright saying “no, do that on your own. I don’t agree with it”

[@YQxTHExGREAT]

I mean that’s pretty fire and would add so much more to his character, but I think you thinkin to deep into it bro 😂😂😂 Still fire theory tho

[@dannybuckle3763]

...So we're all in agreement that Nightwing's still leading the Outsiders offscreen in the DCAU even if it didn't make it into print, right? Like, it makes total sense for the character and there's nothing to contradict it so why *not* make it canon?

[@maxalaintwo3578]

[@altoidconor2928]

[@freddyjosereginomontalvo4667]

Definitely works. I mean with the inclusion of ARGUS, the others green lanterns and more to the DCAU in JL vs Fatal Five. I think that the expansion of the universe makes total sense. In fact besides the titans I believe that sorf of birds of pray, Gotham city sirens, justice league dark, justice league of America exist in this universe. Just that like the titans we never see them.

[@Nightman221k]

The DC strict character embargo's did so much damage to the creativity across multiple shows. I remember watching the shows and reading the tie-in comics when it was going on and it was a mess; and it's STILL complicated to explain to my buddy who was unaware of it because he'd ask, "Yeah, but why would they do that? It's still WB and DC. THEY OWN THE CHARACTERS!!!" and all I can say is, "I KNOW, but I guess they think the audience is too dumb to see more than one superhero show, both with Batman, and yet the villains are off limits." I still think the embargo complicated things for the worse. Teen Titans couldn't use Wonder Girl, JLU couldn't use Bat-villains, The Batman for a while wasn't allowed to use Robin (due to Teen Titans) and instead introduced Batgirl first (not a bad move, but I remember it making people scratch their heads), and IIRC Aquaman villains weren't able to be used in JLU because the failed Aquaman (Smallville spinoff) pilot that the WB network wanted to do.

[@dcauwatchtower]

Not Aquaman himself after a while!

[@Nightman221k]

@@dcauwatchtower It's so weird that they used to think that. Funny enough, currently embargos seem to be a thing of the past. It still makes me laugh how the HBO Max Harley Quinn's not exactly kid friendly, while DC Superhero Girls' Harley is kid-friendly and childlike. I wouldn't want either show to remove Harley, but it seems like a bigger dissonance for kids who get into the DC Superhero Girls cartoons, think of Harley as their favorite character, and assume her personality would be similar in a cartoon show that's all about her.

[@Nightman221k]

@Will N I actually agree with you about the Bat-villains. I feel like one minor complaint I have about the DCAU is that Batman often has the spotlight in JL/JLU because the creative team just thought he was more cool than the other characters. I like Batman too, but you're right if his villains showed up it would have definitely overshadowed the badguys in the last season. I do feel like the biggest loss was not getting to see the birds of prey as it was conceptualized and maybe Robin, Batgirl, and Nightwing showing up just to be part of the league.

[@thebunkerparodie6368]

@@Nightman221k also was shown to be a sympathetic villain in batman TAS with her being able to reform in harley holiday (and didn't seem to want to go back to crime in lock up) ,but then for some reason the writter decided to tie her to a statu quo with either being with ivy or joker after batman TAS and they stopped making harley willing to reform when to me a reform DCAU harley could have been interesting to see (+I feel like making harley go worst without explaining the how and why is somewhat lazy character development and they never explained why did harley go back to crime with ivy in holiday knight). Also I don't think it's a problem to ahve multiple interpretaiton of a character (although I must say that I like harley more when she's a sympathetic villain than a as bad as joker villain)

[@Nightman221k]

@@thebunkerparodie6368 Me too, 100%. I like the BTAS Harley but Timm and Dini kind of ruined any of her early appearances for me when they had her help the Joker break Robin's mind. It makes her heartfelt, "Nice guy's like you shouldn't have bad days," look pretty damn pointless when she would later destroy all that Batman held dear when mindbreaking Tim destroyed what was left of his family and support system and scarred his son mentally for years. He gave her compassion and she helped Joker ruined his life and we get nothing to imply she gave it a second thought. Personally, I think Harley of BTAS becoming an ally to Batman would have been a perfect full circle for her character, since having her be a domestic abuse victim should be a *cautionary tale*; rather than just her default status quo which is how she was made to be in BTAS/TNBA. When you look at Mad Love's ending and how it romanticizes Harley's mental condition at the last minute with her instantly forgiving the Joker like it's just status quo for her and she likes it, is probably why edgy teens idealize the Harley/Joker "romance." I for one love that modern Harley has become independent and has grown. I'd prefer her to be an anti-hero like Catwoman more than a full on villain TBH though.

I always liked the idea that Lois was Bruce's best friend. They only saw each other occasionally for a few minutes at a time. But she knew who he was, who he really was and treated him like one of the army guys she grew up around. But she wasn't romantically interested in him, because she would never be as important as his crusade.

[@srstriker6420]

Yeah because that was pretty forced

[@Nightman221k]

Personally, I would like that. Lois was a very enjoyable character in the DCAU but I feel like they didn't utilize Lois's presence as well as I'd have liked. She fell by the wayside after STAS and I was kind of dying to know if or when Lois would have ended up with Clark.

The Bat Embargo’s reasoning was dumb enough when concerning TV and animation... it gets dumber when concerning comic tie ins. They sure weren’t planning to cancel the main Batman comics due to the possibility of readers getting confused that there were multiple Batman comics on the shelves...

[@theleonpasta7336]

Not to mention around the same time they made The Batman, which in its final seasons even has its own Justice League! How would that not be confusing to kids watching TV back then?

[@Nightman221k]

I know that Dan Slott said that Red Hood would be Andrea's mother... but I still feel like thematically it would be so much more exciting were it Andrea's father since he was shown to be murdered in Phantasm... BUT we never actually see the body just Andrea's horrified scream and she recounts the information that he was killed. If he were left nearly dead or brain-damaged and Andrea forged an alliance with Ra's to use a Lazarus pit to revive him I feel like it would make more sense than having Andi's mother whose grave she was talking to earnestly (I feel like her doing it and genuinely forming the bond with Bruce was thematically important). His death being confirmed only by Andi, who was covering it up pretending he was alive, makes him faking his death or never having died seem like a twist that would have felt in line with the Phantasm movie.

[@srstriker6420]

This is pretty weird

[@danh9083]

This Victoria Beaumont arc would have been insane.

[@Gokitalo]

I gotta correct you on something at 8m12s, though, Mattie-- the writer of Batman Adventures #17 was not Dan Slott, but Ty "The Guy" Templeton himself. I always thought it was fitting Ty close out that volume (and era) of the Batman Adventures, given how synonymous he'd become with the various incarnations of the series. Regardless, though, great vid! Comic Book Legends Revealed had divulged the Red Hood’s identity back in the day, but I always avoided reading it, just in case Ty and Dan ever got the chance to finish the story somehow. Seeing the WDb finally cover the topic made me realize it was time to peek, and it did not disappoint! Loved the info for all the other arcs/stories, too; I was a big fan of this series and it did me good to finally see what could have been. So many, many thanks!

Got a question for a possible upcoming video: Is the DC Showcase Phantom Stranger feature part of the DCAU? He never had an appearance in the JL show or any of the other DCAU shows I believe. Only a few comics. The feature is directed by Bruce Timm, and I thought you guys would have the answer or could at least make an awesome speculation about it

[@dcauwatchtower]

It’s possible, but there’s not really anything to go off of other than “Bruce Timm made this and it’s in his art style.” They reuse the character design of a Wiccan woman who appeared in “Superman: The Animated Series,” so that timeline definitely doesn’t line up (unless she truly is supernatural-but I think she dies in the short?). I would love for it to be canon, but it’s pretty much impossible to know. I’m sure we’ll still do a video on it at some point.

[@faizanfarooque4505]

The comic was excellent and I believe that it should have not been cancelled.

Nevertheless, excellent video as always.

I vehemently detest the quote unquote “Bat-Embargo”, it’s the reason what’s been holding back certain shows (and comics) from having a certain character or have said character be the central focus of said show. It’s also the reason why we can never have a live action Batman series for that dumb reason alone, and why we have some shows like Batwoman and the other show premiering next year… Gotham Knights that has *ZERO* focus on the titular Caped Crusader. Just give us a great Batman live action series, we’ll not be confused just because you’re doing some new Batman movies.

I never understood the point of the "Bat-embargo." The idea that the fans weren't savvy enough to figure out that there could be different universes is ridiculous. I hated it because we never got to see characters such as Catwoman in JLU which in my opinion could have been awesome. On the other hand, I believe it was the reason the Joker was kept out of JLU which was great. He'd been (and still is, in my opinion) overdone. I didn't realize the "Bat-embargo" involved other TV projects. I thought it was because of movie projects that were in the works at the time, such as Batman Begins.

I am still really disappointed we got the really over-all underwhelming "Adventure Continues" retcon-palooza thing (Jason Todd in the DCAU, really? Not a great idea, and it wasn't executed well) instead of having Batman Adventures FINALLY getting it's overdue continuation. I legitimately think the continuation run at times handled continuing storylines even better than the animated series (Not the fault of the BTAS series writers, but it aired at a time where syndication was emphasized making it so any kid could jump in to any non-two part episode and not feel completely lost, rather than an unfolding narrative).

Cool video, but I'm sorry I have to say this, but no, the Phantasm is not part of mainstream DC continuity when this current Batman/Catwoman series is being published by DC Black Label, and all DC Black Label titles are existing outside of mainstream DC continuity, so how does that work out? Unless they're testing the waters first to see what the reception will be for that character in proper comic book form, then they'll introduce her proper, but as of yet, if it's Black Label material then how could that count as a DC mainstream continuity inclusion in the first place? No, I don't get it, because it's not official till it's actually official. However, if they were to make an ongoing Phantasm title in the future and it had really good plot and art, then I'm game, if it ever becomes a reality.

how would it cause confusion considering how different the batman and justice league batman look?

[@dcauwatchtower]

Yes

[@zediahcdemos9220]

You can always look forward to a Watchtower Database video essay

[@diegonei]

Is it just me or Babs/Bruce will never be fine?

[@jsb6975.ah.crapbaskets]

Not just you.

[@KathyXie]

He is like 20 years older

[@porassrivastava8242]

Slott writes either like John byrne on steroids or like a indian TV soap writer w no in between.

[@src6339]

I'm looking forward to 2021 now. It can't be worse than 2020 right?

[@batmanfan6207]

I hope that I can one day get the collected versions of this series one day!

[@joeltbb]

What happened to Scarecrow is really terrifying

[@chrisanderson2204]

Blight was my favorite Batman Beyond villain, along with Inque,Ten,Stalker,The Brain Trust and Payback

[@redhood3713]

I'm subscribed

[@supertheorys1176]

Well that sucks Not the video but that it was canceled

[@nicksamia4138]

Hey have you guys heard the rumor of a batman the animated series sequel?

[@ClassicalMimicry]

Didn't "The Batman" have a future episode, about Dr. Freeze returning and killing people? I'll need to rewatch it but I almost feel like that episode is the continued ending of the canceled 2 parter.

[@michaelandreipalon359]

Ah, Season 4, Episode 7 - "Artifacts", set a thousand years after the present day of the show. One of my favorite eps of that show, I'll add, and a nice love letter to The Dark Knight Returns to boot.

[@erykcharmuowicz89]

Also what about your Legacies comics , Watchtower Database ? When next issue will be finałonc

[@dcauwatchtower]

Working on several at a time right now, just fell a bit behind because of 2020 reasons, haha. Soon!

[@erykcharmuowicz89]

Also too bad we never saw in those Batman Adventures stories about so said creepy one about Man-Bat , story which explains why Scarecrow looks now completely different , Riddler awakening from his coma in Bludhaven Hospital but with amnesia and other ones about Two-Face , Killer Croc , Bronze Tiger , Mad Hatter and Bane . But stories about Clayface , Poison Ivy , Joe Chill and Mr Freeze were indeed cool , awesome and great , guys !!!!! 😎😎🥰🥰😍😍🤩🤩🥰🥰😎😎😍😍🤩🤩😍😍🥰🥰😎😎😎😎🥰🥰😍😍🤩🤩😍😍

[@prometheusmodelow8322]

YES, i wish the Bruce and Babs thing wasn't cut out, as that sounds like a much more accurate depiction of the relationship from what is described in the actual show, i feel that way the pairing would not get as much hate as it does now thanks to the horrible representation of it in Beyond 2.0 and Killing Joke.

[@heisenbat]

Mattie, thanks for saying "Ra's" correctly 😊 2021 turning out to be a good year so far

[@dcauwatchtower]

Father’s name was pronounced “Raysh,” not “Raz.” A common mistake.

[@TheRealSpiderMew]

1:14 anyone else notice the batman for the stage musical has the same kind of chin that the ArhyBES does for their Batmetal videos? I wonder if ArhyBES got the look idea from that episode or not.

[@sahilhossain8204]

Hmm yes lore of dc animated universe momentum 100

[@disneyboy3030]

I wonder why the line was stopped. Also I would like it if someone made fan comics to tie up the rest of the lose ends.

[@dcauwatchtower]

- Because of the “The Batman” comic, which I believe we mentioned - We do that! legaciesdcau.com

[@nightwing7485]

I'm subbed

[@flyingpigproductions5934]

Holy shit, you lost 40 pounds?? That's awesome congrats!

[@martinharvey-olson8553]

Wasn’t expecting Vee Infuso in here, pleasantly surprised. Love his vids

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

On another note, i kind of find it hard to believe TNBA Batman and JL/U are the same person. Tnba is really brutal and aggressive and i felt the violence had ramped up significantly whiles JL/U Batman is very agile and mostly calm and collected making his occasional outburst way more significant. Plus hes a bit more light hearted. Like I cant imagine TNBA Batman dodging the spikes in Egypt the same way JLU did

[@dcauwatchtower]

People can change with time ;)

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

@@dcauwatchtower but i thought they're happening simultaneously?

[@Gokitalo]

@@ItsOver9000Productions Look at Batman in the JLU episode "Twilight," though: he's still a fairly harsh dude at the stage (e.g. the famous "Cry me a river" line). After that was when he started to soften-- eulogizing Superman, admiring the Flash's ingenuity in "A Better World," and so on. Justice League and JLU were transformative shows for Batman, showing what happens when the Dark Knight regularly works with peers, rather than sidekicks-- he becomes a warmer, even friendlier guy, since he has people he can relate to.

[@michaelnoga3737]

Ah, the Vanishing Point ending... how I’ve missed it... good to hear a variation of it at least

[@karma-4730]

1 of 20 gods of the lore pantheon your support is well justified

[@jamesstreckerfan1743]

Woah I never new this I'm glad you guys at the WDB can shed some light on this stuff

[@althentik]

I was a big fan of the shows but never read the comics as a kid your channel has exposed me to a ton of awesome storylines expanding the universe and characters I love so much. Keep up the great work guys!
