"I mean, I know this thing has literally millions of fans, and I hear you, but what if, just imagine it. What if, we just destroy everything we've built, and never have the balls to continue any other DC show for more than two seasons ever again? That sounds awesome, right?!" (Sorry.

From a comics company that keeps trying to reboot their comic universe and wipe out messy continuity, this does not surprise me.

[@tajboynton55]

dc messed up real bad by getting rid of 15 years of universe building

[@allendepacheco3419]

I'm guessing they done it because it would confused the younger audience as they didn't see any shows in the 90s and this is before streaming shows became a thing.

[@brandonmatthews4934]

+Allende Pacheco With that logic DC wouldn't have chosen to do Green Lantern movie with Hal Jordan instead of using John Stewart considering the younger audience was never introduced to Hal Jordan

[@Tecosaurus]

The Animated Series has always been better than the DCEU. They should stop hiring somewhat well known directors and hire the ones who directed these animated episodes and movies because they knew what DC Comics was.

[@orangesocks5385]

Considering that one of their best writers (Dwayne McDuffie) died a few years ago, that might be a bit difficult. Bruce Timm is a producer on the DC animated movies, although after Batman and Harley Quinn, I'm apprehensive on his talent without others. And then there's Paul Dini, who actually moved over to Marvel, so again, difficult.

Just for the record, Teen Titans isn't part of the DCAU. It's an animated DC show, yes, but not really part of what's considered the DCAU. And they didn't cancel Teen Titans, it ended. I mean it had like 5 seasons or something, right?

[@DaddyFutbol]

What made the DCAU special were the voices used

[@Tyler_W]

it's so ridiculous how companies do this to their viewers, they never stop to think of the impact they have on everyone who watch their shows or read their comics or buy their products. and they don't think twice about getting rid of people who poured their life into the creations they make those companies tons of money. it's all about: "how can we make more money off this?" this is a huge problem with DC and the WB they cancel shows when they're the most successful because of idiotic reasons then claim they are doing what's best for the series. And when people get all up in arms about it they're just like "hey guys let me remind you that DC and the WB has given you some of the best moments of your childhood, you should be thanking us." Sometimes I wish money wasn't a thing and people made works of art like these shows because they were passionate about it, but I know that's a naive thing to think. it's just ironic how they could get rid of something that's been an important part of Marvel studio's success.

Yeah as much as I love the DCAU and all the groundbreaking things it did, this weird pushing of this forbidden affair between Bruce and Barbara that might very well have ruined the Killing Joke animated film keeps seemingly coming from the architects of the DCAU. I don't know if its Timm or Dini or whoever, but the sheer tenacity of pushing it into both the DCAU, and TKJ where it really had no place shows that at least someone really, REALLY wants to canonize it in some way and its more than a little bizarre. Its kind of unfortunate, I don't want to see it as blemish on the DCAU, but whatever it is it messed up one of the most anticipated animated adaptations ever.

[@DaFactsNoNonsense1713]

From watching Suicide Squad it's pretty obvious that DC has no clue how to get their content to the viewers! No one understood the movies plot or knew that the Joker wasn't a main character = no one watched the animated lead-up that familiarized the characters with the fans! How most die-hard fans missed that is mind-boggling, especially when you're dumping tons of cash into such a large production!! Cancelling Young Justice after a successful Justice Eague, Batman & Superman series' only shows how inept this company is! They only cared about toy sales while they had valuable content fans definitely wanted to see!! Whoever runs DC have no clue what they're doing while Marvel centres their entire universe around a coming war = VERY simple to understand & follow across many films. Wonder Woman, Green Lantern & the Flash films will definitely spark interest in the franchise but fans are definitely tired of Superman/Batman movies or shows!! DC needs to focus more on finding better writers!

[@comicstorian]

What you are saying isnt wrong. They really need to look at what is resonating with the fans if they are catering their movies to the fans. Question though, what lead up are you talking about because i was looking for one once you said there was an animated lead up. If you are referring to Assault on Arkham which is the only thing that came up that has nothing to do with that movie its tied to the Arkham video game universe. Is there something else i missed?

[@DaFactsNoNonsense1713]

+Comicstorian That's what I'm talking about! It's the only animation that showed the movies theme with the characters which made it clear that the Joker wouldn't be the main focus of this team + Batman would be involved somehow! When I watched that, it was insinuated that this was a prequel for the movie. I thought the movie was OK, but followed the same pattern Man of Steel & Batman vs. Superman had = the movie got going with only 30 minutes left! Hopefully Netflix can pick-up season 3 of Young Justice so that fans can enjoy something from DC because I don't see the Justice League movie being any better. I can't stand the politics either!!

I never EVER see anyone bring up Harry Potter every time somebody talks about Warner Bros woes and trials and tribulations bringing DC Comics characters to live-action. You CREATED the fucking genre with Superman, and for all intents and purposes Batman, in 1978 and 1989, you've owned DC Comics since 1967, for almost 50 years, and yet you can't make a Justice League movie? In that fucking time span you can't make a Justice League of America, Martian Manhunter, The Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Teen Titans, Justice Society Of America, or any other A-list or B-list character movie? Harry Potter arrived on the scene in 1997, 4 or 5 years later he gets his own movie, around 2001, but wonder Woman.........nothing? And people bring "Marvel" into this shit? Clash Of The Titans, Wrath Of The Titans, The Lord Of The Rings movies, The Hobbit movies, Constantine, 300, Catwoman, The Losers, Pacific Rim, Superman Returns, Watchmen, V For Vendetta, Green Lantern......countless, countless more genre movies to name.............but no Wonder Woman?

[@ItsJustMetrion]

What if the do a Animated game universe? If they have the braincells to do it right, this might be a idea!

[@tytoz9034]

Teen Titans, Batman: TAS, Justice League Unlimited, and Batman Beyond were my childhood! I remember watching them religiously and I've even continued to rewatch them to this day. The storyline, the plot, the interaction between characters are what make a good show ( it's what made Young Justice and Green Lantern: TAS so good as well) and these shows had FANTASTIC characters! It's a shame that DC will not continue these shows, because the DCAU is DCs ultimate achievement. On a side note I just LOVE the fact that Terry is in the main continuity and is officially DCs future Batman!

[@TanglingNose725]

Thanks for making this this really clears up all the questions I had about it!

[@sapphic.flower]

I’m doing an animation presentation on Bruce Timm (creator of the animated universe) so I’ve been so invested lol

[@Sfactor1990]

In the Justice League Unlimited episode Seven Soldiers the Teen Titans version of Speedy makes an appearance.

[@uncoolbug9055]

Young justice was amazing

[@maxdrags3115]

Yea...

[@justinc9478]

it was more of a teen titans sequel than the actual teen titans sequel

[@randyalleyn8372]

Pretty much knew everything you covered, but was glad to see what I already knew confirmed. Love this channel. Keep up the good work, Benny!

[@corvokuro]

This whole video gave me nostalgia chills.

[@leoric21]

DCAU the best version of batman

[@Justin.JM.McNeil]

you say that "chase me" is a batman beyond anniversary episode that came out recently, but the only thing i can find is from 2003 and is about catwoman.

[@phantompanther34]

They never should of canceled Young Justice, there was still so much they could of done w/ the story!

[@shadygradyredZ]

they literally did no promotion and I never saw a young justice toy until 2 years ago at a Roses'

[@dyltack5349]

+shadygrady3000 redZ what's roses

[@oceanman6530]

+e hole boyz gang a cool store

[@Alverant]

Great video! It's sad about how many great opportunities were passed up because some suits didn't think fans were smart enough to grasp the concept of separate universes.

[@critica77y77]

It came to a logical place to conclude. Which is more than i can say for some of the individual shows in it; we really should have gotten a fourth season of Superman: The Animated Series and a third season of The Zeta Project.

[@jayjaysworld7110]

I missed justice league unlimited and the batman

[@AzmiAb]

Been "binging" the DCAU, trying to watch it in order and all of it.This is going to take a while. Should I watch Static Shock before or after Batman Beyond for chronological reasons?

[@Buenomars]

Batman: The Brave and the Bold was fun. It reintroduced certain characters and sometimes had the campy vibe of the Adam West series. It even created a brand new villain - Music Meister, voiced by Neil Patrick Harris. The character would later appear in the live-action Arrowverse. Sadly, the series was ended. Beware the Batman was also another great series, which used computer animation. I loved how they chose Katana to be Batman's crime-fighting partner. The re-imagining of Katana and Alfred worked really well. Also, we were introduced to Lady Shiva as a main villain and not many of us have heard of her. Sadly, this series was ended too!

[@WCA_Arts]

Please keep making videos like this!

[@joela714]

Wow. Awesome resource. Thanks, Comicstorian!

[@elichalfant941]

DC if your reading this comment make a new dcau

[@elichalfant941]

+ChewieJamie yeah it's just not as good as the dcau

[@lightning9789]

You're*

[@subjectdelta7568]

+ChewieJamie They are but it's not as good as the old one. Son of Batman, Batman Bad Blood, Justice League War, Justice League King of Atlantis, and Justice League vs the Teen Titans

[@terraemotus7044]

+Matt Lopez there making justice league dark and a teen titans movie.

[@jahtektroy6964]

yeah because Marvel is killing it now they got ultimate spiderman, avengers assemble, hulk& the agents of S.M.A.S.H& Guardians of the galaxy all in the same universe there's small problems with it but so far so good..the only way dc even be in competition is to bring young Justice&Green lantern TAS back..let's be serious DC Teen titans go is a joke Justice league action looks bad on the upside the t.v. universe is so far so good but your way behind movies wise keep up the good work with the animated movies..I'm digging Dc. Rebirth more then civil war 2 &please put more Vixen episodes this season also bring Constantine back I tried watching the Marvel T.v. shows but they look boring So Overall I'd say Marvel is winning Slightly

[@morning5tarr]

Do you remember when Lex ended the war with darkseid !

[@bryanb9432]

Rip dcau, it was so F**king good anyone who hasnt watched the shows in this universe you need to watch them

[@Billy-tn3ft]

Loved batman the animated series as a kid

[@saltyk9869]

It's funny. On a forum I frequent, I asked what was the best animated series of all time. So many people responded that the DCAU, or shows therein, were the best animated series ever.

[@bryanb9432]

Saltyk not surprised all the shows were great. they all had fantastic characters good themes and messages and a lot of enuendos looking back that made them much more enjoyable to rewatch.

[@Rendezman562]

this is wonderful, thanks for the recap BENNY!!

[@Assasin04Prince]

This is awesome! Would be amazing if you do a video on the 2003 TMNT series as well.

[@ignatiusklepto5136]

What about Green Lantern the animated series? That was a Bruce Timm show just way different animation. Whats the story with that? I always thought it explained where Hal was during the rest of the JL amd JLU stories.

[@koyinproductions9053]

I this statement is now ironic

[@johnnyspeed5885]

Lesson learned from these "nostalgia videos": IF YOU WANT YOUR SHOW TO STAY, BUY THE TOYS... *smh*

[@stubby0990]

i love batman beyond and young justice

[@ManNamedEd]

Great Video!! So much nostalgia!!

[@devinsears1886]

The DCAU must return! Wonder Woman and Shazam need their very own stand alone shows along with the rest of the widely known superheroes and lesser known.

[@theepoopydoodoo]

I try to view the comics as kind of floating around in canon. They're not apart of the main canon but are apart of their own canon related to these shows. I really feel that way mainly because the Batman x Batgirl stuff is gross. Especially if you remember him saying to her in BTAS "you've grown up so much" eeeew just ew

[@pokemonmanyou4239]

Do you guys think that maybe if put the pressure on warner bros like we did for young justice, they can continue the first DC animated universe?

[@excitedcat9517]
