1:48 Regarding Flash's lightning, in the Arrowverse's Crisis on Infinite Earths, for a short scene, we see Earth-90's Barry Allen (John Wesley Shipp). While he's running on a treadmill, he's just blurred normally, as he was on his own series, but once Earth-1 Barry accelerates to his speed, we can see Barry-90's surrounded by lightning. So this might be something similar: anyone else seeing Wally running might just see a blur, but in the pages of the comic we're only seeing snapshots at "Flash time" so the reader can see the lightning.
I really hope they don't mess up the timeline in this one like they did in that one comic that takes place one year after Tim Drake became Robin, after 9/11 and at a time when smart phones and HBO Max exist.
True that's one thing that always bugged me about there relationship clark has been playing alter ego dating with lois for years you'd think the topic of his secret identity would come up
What you guys do is so cool, it got me so much more interested in the DCAU. I’d seen JL and JLU from time to time when I was younger, but your videos made me so much more interested in the universe, and now I’m picking up the comic and waiting for your videos!
I'm glad we're back to JLU, I won't lie this was much more interesting to me than BTAC. One thing I'll say is that I hope we get past melancholic J'onn sooner rather than later. It was a bit much as a starting point after so long since we've been in this portion of the universe. Either way, I'm hoping for a fun ride from this series and even though it may not work out timeline wise, I'm glad my girl Kara will be back, hopefully with her original costume returning explained. Also I'm looking forward to your Space Jam A New Legacy DCAU related thoughts.
This format where everybody gets involved and you guys analyze all the different dimensions of the story, joined together by that beautiful green screen presentation with the “host” role, is really well done!
I would love it if a DCAU style JSA eventually shows up with all the multiverse stuff going on in this comic (and the team finally getting more much deserved attention inside and outside of the comics after "Doomsday Clock"), since their "Justice Guild" counterparts from JL's "Legends" two parter didn't quite cut it for me personally (even after hearing about the apparent reason why the the characters were altered for the story).
Though this means a lot of extra work researching, on top of what you guys already provide for us, I thank you for all the hard work that goes into these videos!
Thank you watchtower database for giving justice league infinite free advertisement because the first issue knocked it out of the park. It was awesome to read and the art is amazing.
Wanted you fantastic guys to know that I have a Lego figure of every Justice League Unlimited member you listed. Some of them I made myself that don’t exist in Lego form. (Nemesis, Obsidian, Gypsy, STRIPE, Crimson Fox, Vigilante, Crimson Avenger, Rocket Red, Fire, Ice, Aztec, Bwanna Beast, Orion, and Ray,)
I feel like a child again coming upon this. I'm loving Justice League Infinity so far and hope it gets animated. If it does, I really hope they can get someone that sounds like Kevin Conroy. May he rest in peace.
Infinity is a subtle way if implying that there will be an infinite amount of issues, ensuring that the Watchtower Database never runs out of material. Forever.
I feel like that blue guy in the Justice league wide shot from the “Every Justice League member” video is a less detailed blue beetle. But that’s my head canon.
Another potential random reference I noticed: When they're having dinner, Superman tells Lois that "Scott used the mother box to reverse their polarities", with 'reverse' and 'polarities' in bold. "Reverse the polarity" or "Reverse the polarity of the neutron flow" is a phrase associated with the Third Doctor from Doctor Who.
I’m so excited to see where this series goes. It definitely had a lot of exposition this ep, both for ppl who have seen the show and who haven’t, but it doesn’t bother me since it’s only starting n I can feel the potential of where it can go. I love multiverse stuff too, and this basically being another season of JLU is just making my childhood self go ahhh!
another reference the book opens at Wallys Birthday party, which is how Flash vol 2 #1 starts off, with the Titans (Here the JLU) throwing Wallys party
While very cool, this might fuck up my planned fanfic with DCAU Batman as one of the main characters, as it is post JLvF5 and pre-ROTJ flashback. The timeline may end up conflicting.
My first appearance of overmier or first time I saw it over man was in animal man when animal man was talking to I forget who it was but he was basically God and they were showing different versions of characters popping in and out of reality as psycho-pirate was having a breakdown
idk if you guys saw the new Space Jam movie, but they go into a version of the DCAU in Bruce Timm style and shows Batgirl helping the justice league for a few seconds! Always wondered if any of the batfamily eventually was made a member of the league
Finally! I…. Wait!!! Hold up! I haven’t read it yet that was Justice League #64 and Justice League: Last Ride #1. With all these different Justice League titles I’m getting them mixed up. Update: Read it, loved it, ate it… not that last part but the point still stands. I thought the alternate Superman at the end was supposed to be an SS nazi version of Superman.
Visually similar as in its grey and is like elevator doors? I love Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, but I mean, the one in that comic looked like an elevator and the one in Fullmetal has all that stuff on it.
So what you're saying is that I have to wear my Batman shirt and my cologne that says "The Dark Knight." I have no idea if it's supposed to smell like Batman, but my brother gave it to me, and whenever I can I wear it and the Batman shirt on Thursdays. You know, because... it's Thursday. I'd imagine Batman would smell like blood, sweat, and JUSTICE! And also tears because on that fateful night in Crime Alley, Bruce Wayne died with his parents, and The Dark Knight rose. And he's constantly upset that his parents got murdered. I don't blame him.
I want Young Justice, Justice League Unlimited, Static Shock, Superman the animated series, Batman the animated series, and Batman Beyond Robin to fuse as a huge animated universe😎👍🏽 Because I want the animated universe to get more hype because there’s so many potential storylines, character development, fights, new characters, life lessons, and dark moments that would be dope for the next generation to watch😎👍🏽💯 And not something corny like Teen Titans Go or any other terrible DC cartoons that have them lacking to be their own heroes to society and learn how to make the world a better place😎💯
By wll means shove the NB rep down my throat, but I think you're doing it more than the actual comic bothers to do. Not that you can't be happy about it but is it really representation if it's just two characters... existing? And you have to connect the dots in your head to reach that conclusion?
Haha, you’re the second person to notice! Or at least comment about it. The TV static is pulled directly from an old VHS tape of mine, one which I recorded my first movie I made onto. It’s me (James) lying in the grass, knocked out after being attacked by a robot bear!
Ted got them for all 3 of us! eBay I think? They used to be sold in the WB Studio Store when those existed. Ours are all framing a photo of us Databuds with Will Friedle!
same here, and seeing Captain Riker being the badass he is... but, it does leave me questioning if certain Romulans survived like D'Tan and Sela... and of course, it retcons that Dr. Soong had a human child.
The floppy physical comics come out the same day as the digital versions, with these! I’ve been ordering them online either through Midtown Comics or Things From Another World, if you don’t have a local comic shop to support (do if you do!). The full TPBs come out next year, and you can pre-order them on Amazon right now!
@@dcauwatchtower I really hope you’re being serious because this is the only thing I could think about while I was watching the movie. This video will be a guaranteed masterpiece.
Yeah! I have been thinking about this topic (Evil Superman or the typical powerful extraterrestrial being that comes to Earth ) 🤔. It is almost like authors, writers and people in general when they try to create a new "extraterrestrial being character that comes to live on Earth" the only thing that comes is an ... Evil Superman, but I think this because Superman is incredibly fixated on the mind of people and basically the majority do not understand Superman as a character
During the first half of the video there is this really annoying ... sounds like seagulls or something squawking in the background as part of the "music?" ambient background noise?
@@dcauwatchtower ah...well you got me there. Also could you do a video on a possible dcau kon el?I mean its not a stretch considering that we know cadmus made a semi clone of batman and made clones of kryptonians before.
I hate this timeline theory stuff, because you're theorizing that this whole series is set almost a decade in the past. That's going to cause problems since issue #3's cover features Earth-23 characters, like the one in my avatar. Attributing dates to these stories is a mistake.
@@dcauwatchtower Because most universes, unless they're explicitly stated to be set in the past, are set in the present day. If you keep this up, you'll eventually end up having Final Crisis set during the JLU or something.
@@mattiesavannahpahl9934 I think this person is focusing mostly on the non dcau timeline from the beyond comics so it could just be a lack of knowledge on the subject entirely

Imo, anything DCAU post-2006 is alternate timeline for me anyways.
Maybe lexcorp invented the smartphones and made them accesible to everyone on 2006.
Remember the dc universe is more advanced than ours
Wait, they only said "Martian Manhunter" once!? WTF? How did I not realize this!?
I was surprised they ever said it
I just hope Clark finally tells Lois he’s Superman and they finally become a couple

This is my Justice League Reunion.
It might be completely coincidental but I like how this comic came out around Michael Rosenbaum’s birthday and it’s flash’s birthday in the comic

The fourth wall break where we’re shown the art you got for just yourself was hilarious
And really smartly executed, too
Justice League Unlimited is finally back yeah. We might finally got answers on some long-time questions.
For me the only loophole I wanted tied at the end of the show was AMAZO. And this is the answer to my prayers
