DC-AU: Round Two

Owenashi · September 2006

While the current Batman series as well as the Kyrpto series can't be called new, both shows as well as the new Legion Of Super-Heroes series all appearing on Kids-WB at the same time marks a new age of DC animation, one separate from the continuity-driven DC Animated Universe. With their first day together over with, what geek, critique, or other type of comments do they bring up in fans like us who tend to read the adventures of their comic-book counterparts?

Garlic Bread · September 2006

were any of them any good?

I know The Batman's crap, but the preview for the new season made it look like they finally figured out how to do things.

Mai-Kero · September 2006

The girl on the left in that legion picture is like "Who the... what the fuck?"

Dex Dynamo · September 2006

Krypto's a fun little show.

The Batman is a shameful display of everything wrong in the world, though.

Or, you know...

In da butt is what I'm trying to say here.

DJ Eebs · September 2006

There's nothing wrong with Krypto, it's just a goofy little kids show. I don't think it was ever intended to be chock full of continuity references

Torso Boy · September 2006

On the whole?

Meh.

Thats the thing that many people forget, is that a lot of these shows are being made for kids, who probably have never even seen these characters outside of the television.

Now the new line of series coming out, the first movie based off of Judas Contract and such will be a different story.

Harrier · September 2006

I've actually enjoyed certain episodes of The Batman. I suppose a lot of that came from the simple fact that it was a show about Batman and Batman alone, which is something I started to miss when JLU was on. Not to say JLU wasn't fan-fucking-tastic. It was just different.

Also, The Batman's best villains are somehow the ones that BTAS did the worst. Firefly, Bane, and Catwoman are particular standouts.

Still, lightyears removed from the quality of the DCAU.

OH GOD OH GOD I WANT THE OLD DCAU BACK I AM GOING THROUGH WITHDRAWALS FUCK

Garlic Bread · September 2006

I really think The Batman's main problem is that they know they can't live up to TAS so they try to be different except they go way too far.

Harrier · September 2006

I always wished DC would preserve the Timm-universe somehow after all the shows stopped their runs. It would make a great 'primary secondary' universe, a large and well-developed AU comparable to Ultimate Marvel.

Isn't the JLU comic still going?

One comic, and who knows how long it will last? If they seriously wanted to keep the DCAU around, there would be more comics that took place in animated continuity. At the very least, there should be Animated Batman and Animated Superman monthlies. Hell, maybe Animated Flash too, since it looks like we'll never see Wally again in the regular DCU.

Or, instead of 'animated' comics, maybe they could actually make the actual animations.

I don't care, I just want the universe to stick around.

Bloods End · September 2006

I like some things about the Batman. The animation is quite good and the fight scenes are top notch. But it fails when it tries to do anything else.

And the ones TAS did well are fucking atrocities.

Any villain that fails WITH CLANCY BROWN is a failure as a series.

The characters done well in TAS are not good in The Batman.

Dex Dynamo · September 2006

Yes. Example: Mr. Freeze- a masterpiece in B:TAS. A moronic filler villain in The Batman. See also the fucking joker.

You can't not give your a-game to the joker. He's the joker.

New line of series based off of the Judas Contract? Wasnt the entire Terra storyline in the Teen Titans cartoon based on the Judas Contract? Except instead of making her a complete asshole like in the comics, they made her a dynamic character?

Not exactly. It's a new line of direct to dvd movies skewed towards readers, not so much the little tikes. The first movie (I think) is supposed to be based on the Judas Contract, with Wolfman involved in the production.

EDIT - Heres the link

Yeah, I should've worded that better.

They made her about as much of a furry as you could get.

A poster on Newsarama placed up episode descriptions from the Toon-Zone sub-site World's Finest for the rest of the new episodes for The Batman's current season. Take a look at what other new characters will appear this season besides Robin.

This is because you don't have anything to compare them too. The Batman isnt a bad series, its just not as awesome as BTAS.

You have the comics to compare TAS to.

Now, if I was eight, and I hadn't seen TAS or read comics or anything, yeah I'd most likely enjoy it

Episode #51 - The Joining, Pt. 1
Original Airdate - Unknown

John Jones, a new detective in Gotham, hints that he may know Batmanâ€™s secret. Batman must uncover this mysterious figureâ€™s true identity and whether he is a friend or a foe. The answers prove shocking.

Episode #52 - The Joining, Pt. 2
Original Airdate - Unknown

Gotham faces its biggest threat ever â€“ an alien invasion. Determined to save his city on his own, Batman learns even the greatest heroes must sometimes rely on a team.

I guess they're going to follow up on the popularity of JLU with their own take on the Justice League.

bobgorila · September 2006

That sounds pretty redundant.

Did Timm and Dini die or something?

But... an alien invasion?

Does this mean theyre going to do the white martians again? Or Thangarians? What other major agressive alien race is there in the DCU? Bobgorilla is right, that IS redundant.

There's a race of kryptonian-like people whose weakness is lead instead of kryptonite. Doxamites or dolamites or something.

robosagogo · September 2006

Dolemites?

Mai-Kero · September 2006

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daxam

Daxamites.

Rant · September 2006

It's probably more likely White Martians than Daxams. I mean, you have J'onn J'onzz--oops, I mean John Jones--show up in part one. It's basically Secret Origins Redux.
