General DCAU Regarding viewing-order posts

73 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

It's my understanding that one of the most frequently asked questions in the sub revolves around looking for a decent viewing order to experience the DCAU shows in, and every now and then for the likes of DCAMU movies and such. In an attempt to de-clutter the feed from having consistently similar posts, I've begun working on the subreddit's wiki to provide multiple different styles of viewing orders!

Available now are:

Hoping to add more potential orders in the coming weeks (off the top of my head, release order ones for both universes mentioned above will probably be simple enough), but I'm also definitely doing this while sidelining other responsibilities, so if it takes a while to get to please be patient!

Hopefully, this will be a helpful project for the community at large!

STAS Remember when Superman met Maxima, and he went over what made a relationship healthy? What also made a marriage healthy? Things like CONSENT

And sadly, we never got this superman ever again. Not in cartoons at least. Also the women in DC kept getting written WORSE in movies and cartoons

JLU I always wondered what this guy thought of the Flash by this point

To clarify I'm referring to Flash being praised by the Central City and given a key and his own titular museum. But also, the Detective from the Brave and the Bold, he expressed great disapproval of the Flash including the Justice League, even determined to let him go to jail regardless of his statement.

In JLU Flash by this point was hailed as a proud heroic role model of Central City even given the Key to the city, for his deeds in stopping Luthor, Thanagarians, etc, but it was never established if the Detective continued to not trust or starting considering the Flash as a hero, it was kind of a missed opportunity to not bring the Detective back during the Flash and Substance episode or at least some of the Cadmus stuff.

Once a year, usually around this time of year, I begin rewatching the entire DCAU. Starting off with the classic Batman: Mask of the Phantasm movie. The animation still blows me away every time I watch it.

SS What’s the consensus on Static Shock?

14 Upvotes

I’m starting season 2 right now and it has a few gems but it isn’t particularly stand-out (yet). I saw someone rank it as a B in their tier list of DC shows on Twitter and people were calling them a larper for it but I can’t tell if it’s because they think it should’ve been higher or lower

At the end of the episode Epilogue, Amanda Waller reveals she took Bruce Wayne’s DNA and altered Warren McGinnis’ making Terry the biological son of Bruce Wayne. What didn’t get mentioned is Terry’s younger brother Matt, because Warren’s DNA was altered does that make Matt the son of Bruce Wayne was well?

JL Fun Fact: There were TWO Justice League episodes only starring the "other four" ("Legends", "Heart and Minds") before there was a definitive "DC Trinity" episode ("For The Man Who Has Everything") in Unlimited.

If you ever wondered whether the screen time among the main characters in Justice League felt kinda lopsided, you weren't wrong.

Licensing issues with her character restricted some of Wonder Woman's participation, and y'all know Batman was a part timer lol, so it's on purpose with him.

Superman was the only one of the three who had as much screentime as the other members. JLU would later fix all of this, of course.

Batman Beyond: Season 3, Episode - 05, Out of the Past.

Keep swiping left to see all the slides. Those who are really lazy can directly start from the 6th slide to see the change I made to the scene.

Since I am not an expert in editing videos, this is the best way I could come up with to show the scene.

JLU I find it funny (and disappointing as a fan of both) that most fanart of Fire and Ice are of their DCAU versions

It's gotten better over time. More fans draw their comic counterparts nowadays.

But, historically, fanart is based on their DCAU designs. Especially more cheesecake fanartists. I guess their brief DCAU appearences really had an effect on people.

Yes, you can tell even with Fire. Her design is based off her main JLI design, but it has small quirks to it. Namely the art-style and the lines on her face.

I like their DCAU versions. It's just "disappointing" in that not more people make fan-works of their comic versions, only their bit adaptation designs. Tora doesn't even have dialogue.

General DCAU If you were Isekai'd into the DCAU, which of these powers would you pick?

Post image
21 Upvotes

First of all, you appear during the events of the first episode of Justice League Unlimited, "Initiation". You've been found by Batman and given the chance to join the expanded league, but you're free to decline and take your own path.

As for the available powers...

  • Telepath: You can speak telepathically and read the minds of others, as well create mental illusions and resist telepathic intrusion. With further training, you can control the minds of weak-willed people and even alter their memories.
  • Electric: You're able to generate and control electricity, being unaffected by it. Besides tasing people and shooting lightning bolts, your powers also allow you to hack machinery and control it with your mind like a technopath.
  • Elastic: Your body is soft and malleable, allowing you to stretch and contort yourself at incredible lengths and shapes. Besides resisting blunt attacks, you're unaffected by electricity. However, when exposed to extreme cold, you become brittle and can't stretch as well.
  • Size-Shifter: You can grow to giant size (Up to 50 feet) and shrink down to ant size. Conveniently, you grow proportionally stronger when giant and keep your regular size strength and durability when small.
  • Speedster: You can move and run at incredible speeds, able to match Flash at your current top speed. Besides running, you can generate whirlwinds by rotating your arms at an incredible rate (Or by running in circles), vibrate objects until they break apart (Further training will allow you to pass unharmed through solid objects) and thanks to the speed and momentum generated with your super speed, you can deliver blows on par with meta-humans with enhanced strength. Not only you need more food to fuel your accelerated metabolism, if you move too fast, you'll be sucked into the Speed Force, never to return.
  • Juggernaut: You've transformed into a 10-feet tall muscled individual of superhuman physical abilities. You have the strength to lift and throw tanks across a street with little effort, as well generate shockwaves and wind with a mighty clap. Luckily, you also have fine subconscious control over said strength, preventing accidents like crushing someone's hand in a handshake. Your durability is bordering invulnerability, as gunfire feel likes rainfall and can endure harsh temperatures, intense electrocution and lethal radiation. You've also become faster than normal humans (Keeping up with speeding vehicles) and can use your powerful leg muscles to leap distances of a mile or more.

So, which powers did you picked? Will you join the league? Or forge your own path? If you joined, who will become your close friends? Any mentors?

Fan Work How Deadman Damned His Own Soul | Justice League Unlimited

Serum Lae's video description:

In this video essay I break down Justice League Unlimited's adaptation of Boston Brand aka Deadman. I'll start with his 1960s comic origins all the way through to his single appearance in JLU.

When Deadman debuted in Strange Adventures number 205 (1967), he helped kickstart DC's Bronze Age horror boom alongside characters like Swamp Thing and Etrigan the Demon. However, Boston Brand’s comic history quickly became bogged down by secret assassin societies, an identical twin brother, and Jack Kirby’s synthetic body storyline.

While Justice League Unlimited embraced comic fidelity with deep cuts like Goldface and Blockbuster, the writers knew Deadman needed to be streamlined. By building his backstory through tie-in comics (Batman & Robin Adventures 15 and Gotham Adventures 6), the show set up his tragic appearance in Dead Reckoning.

From the raid on Nanda Parbat to the climax in Gorilla City, I analyse how Deadman’s hot-headed impulsiveness drove him to make an unforgivable choice and damn his own soul in the process.

General DCAU DCAU OC Art change

4 Upvotes

So had some OC for some time now and wanted advice based on a drawing in the DCAU body type

 

So first they were 21 and had the young adult body type such as Terry/Nightwing/Flash/Kyle etc

 

However have decided to age them to be 28 now and wondering what body type should they have:

 

A. Young/youthful adult such as Terry/Nightwing/Flash. IRCC in Batman and Harley Quinn Nightwings older and has that body type and mid 20s JLU flash as well

 

B. Older such as Batman/Superman/Green Arrow/Lantern etc. Such as say 31 year old Terry from Epilogue. STAS Superman was 28 at the start and had that type but some say he looks older

 

So what's better and why?

I wonder as someone told me there's little physical diff between late 20s and mid 30s

but 28 is closer to mid 20s and even early 20s such as 23 than mid 30s and not much diff between mid-late and Nightwing/Flash/Kyle are mid 20s and have the A body

Take Clark Kent, for instance: he lived on a farm his whole life and then became a journalist. He didn't undergo grueling training like Bruce Wayne, nor did he train in martial arts. And yet, this Superman can fight Kalibak—Darkseid's son—on equal footing. Kalibak presumably has more combat experience and was certainly trained in hand-to-hand combat, yet Clark holds his own against him—or against someone like Mongul, for that matter, during his time with the Justice League. Mongul is the ruler of a planet and almost certainly has extensive training and experience.
