Honestly, it makes sense that he likes pre-packaged pop. As a guy who is constantly tackling conspiracy theories, it must be nice to see something that wears its cheap, pandering artificiality on its sleeve.
I think he likes it because it's not pretending to be anything other than what you mentioned. Of course it's trying to take over the world. Why else would the companies be putting so much money into playing it everywhere?
This clip is roughly 14-15 years old and the comments range from then to very recent showing just how much people loved this show and this character and why it is such a shame the heads of DC and up don’t do more with him.
A character that questions the government without being portrayed as completely/comedically batshit insane probably wouldn't be allowed to exist the way things are right now.
@@averysadtire6820He should. Things are batshit insane because we've stopped asking questions. To quote CS Lewis "The worst tyrannies are those sincerely exercised for the good of their victims."
The problem is that the movie going public would see The Question as a knock-off of Rorschach - not realizing (or caring) that it's the other way around.
The Question is so damn badass. If this doesn't prove it, his lines when getting tortured will. "The tips of shoelaces are called Aglets. Their true purpose is sinister." Or the fact that while all the superheroes in Destroyer went nuts with all their fancy powers, he was running Parademons over with his car and punching them in the face.
@@smoothiemcguffin2721 It's the last episode of Justice League Unlimited, they keep cutting to scenes of different heroes fighting against the Parademons.
The purpose of aglets is to help you grip the shoelace and keep them from unraveling. If you don't believe me, pick/cut them off and watch your shoelaces unravel.
@@OriginalAkivara the joke you missed is that the question was kind of a nut job. It was arguably his best incarnation though as one iteration was a mouth piece for the writers extremest (or so I’ve heard) political views. When taken over he turned into a quack. In jlu he’s still crazy but his hearts in the right place. He’ll just watch the stuff with him and huntress.
I remember reading about how when Jeff was voicing this the people working on the show were like "let's just make this The Question Show." They really should have. Thanks for sharing this.
I'm remembering an American Dad joke were Stan needs to break into a house, so he picks up a plant on the front porch and finds the key under it. He then throws the plant through the window and uses the key to clear out the rest of the glass
Next time someone will enter my car I'll do exactly the same thing Question did. "So what do you think of Heavy christian industrial metal with elements of pop?" "Hate it i guess?" "MMMM" *starts the music*
The way The Question sings it there’s some 1950s vibe to it boys used to sing to their sweethearts. It doesn’t seem something that “Corporate Prepackaged Pop Music” that plays on the radio at all (parody of a Britney song, perhaps?).
@@xavierballard9902 4 years too late, but I may as well respond. Yes, that substance changes his appearance, but the fact that it fogs all over the cab gives him a scary appearance especially since the guy he was interrogating saw his face turn into a blank. As for the music, said guy mentioned he hates it. So it's torture to him. Song's catchy don't get me wrong, but listening it to hours on end makes the Iraq Barney torture look like child's play. Not kidding, Iraq POWs were tortured for 24 hours straight by being put in a dark room and having Barney's "I love you." song playing for those hours.
@@Shanethefilmmakerman I loved Barney as a kid, but even thinking of having to listen to that for 24 hours makes me want to tell all the secrets I know, even the non important ones
Most epic way of getting into costume! No phone booth, no spinning around like a tornado and no waiting for the batmobile, just throw down a smoke bomb and BAM! "WHERE ARE THE OTHER DRUGS GOING!?!"
I love how you can clearly notice the picture of some other driver behind the driver's seat, implying Q stole the cab just for this bit. Also, not only it was the picture in plain view, Q stopped and did a mundane task with a flimsy excuse, giving time to the reporter to notice it, and he still didn't.
Cut the man some slack. He’s not the best reporter if he’s in Cadmus’s back pocket. Hell several weeks he was sleeping with government super soldier and her didn’t even know. He might be a reporter but nobody said he was a good reporter
How can anyone hate it? The song's pretty catchy and timeless, which makes it one for the ages. Love how, if you look closely at 0:11, there's a taxi driver profile showcasing a different man than the Question's disguise. Unobservant fool, the poor CADMUS aide on the backseat.
He wasn't even gonna ask that guy anythin', just his evening habit. Riding around in a taxi and beating the shit out of people who diss his favorite songs.
I Agree! XD when i first saw the episode i thought it was a fake face over the mask since he managed to change it so fast. then i saw his face after the cadmus thing and i'm like "that's what he really looked like?! Super fine! go Huntress!" XD
The fact you don't see what Question does to the guy really makes you think.....Did he steal his face ....Did he do the forbidden deed? So many questions
Apparently the CW wanted to introduce the Question in one of their shows (probably Arrow) because they had the rights to the character and he ranked high on fan polls but the heads of the DCEU blocked it because they had "plans" for him. Yeah, THAT worked out great, didn't it? James Gunn, you're our only hope!
@@DimmaryYeah. The DCEU actually affected a lot of the CW shows. Amanda Waller and Deadshot were killed off and the Suicide Squad was written out, Deathstroke wasn’t allowed to appear on Arrow after Season 6, Supergirl couldn’t use any of Superman’s rogues gallery or have Superman appear outside of crossover events, and Wonder Woman and other superheroes couldn’t be introduced all because the movies were going to introduce their own versions. There were exceptions, like The Flash series being allowed to use a lot of characters from the comics, Lex Luthor appearing on Supergirl, and Batwoman being allowed to use some of Batman’s villains (or different versions of them), but only in a limited amount and it was likely to stop once the DCEU started using the characters. Warner Bros really screwed over The CW when it came to licensing and hopefully DC learned to not get too complicated with their multiple adaptations and universes.
*FUN FACT:* The writers of Justice League Unlimited were [IIIIIIIIIIIII-] close to seriously pitching a 'The Question' show as the follow-up series once JLU ran its course. Not sure why they didn't, but apparently a lot of the staff were very much on board with the idea.
Someone should take the pieces of this song we hear from the show and make a cover of a full song with it we get a pretty good chunk of it so it could just repeat
His training certainly speaks for him, though. He trained Dick Grayson. Also, trained Barbara Gordon to be able to fight and defeat a hit squad while still in her wheelchair.
Since finding out there was a full version of Ember's song from Danny Phantom I've been wondering if Cree Summer recorded a full version of this song! Someone with ties to DC and Warner Bros, get on it!
The song is performed by an actress named Cree Summer, who has recorded music in the past. But I'm almost positive the song was written for Justice League: Unlimited as a nod to the Static Shock episode Wet and Wild. Cree Summer appears in that episode as a famous pop star named Candide.
Honestly, it makes sense that he likes pre-packaged pop. As a guy who is constantly tackling conspiracy theories, it must be nice to see something that wears its cheap, pandering artificiality on its sleeve.
honestly? good interpretation, im buying into it now
Genius
You're pretty good. I'm going to be taking that as canon now.
I like how the passenger complained about not likening the song but wasn't worried about a random gas coming from inside the taxi...
In a world of super humans, anything can happend.
Matthew !
"Dude, if you're gonna gas me, at least do it to something _decent_ "
It clearly wasn't visible
Or the fact that the cab driver just took a break in a dark alley to write some report
> Knows that pop bands are part of a global conspiracy to keep the population content and passive
> Sings along them anyways
Question: I need a catchy tune once in a while.
i think huntress made him resonate with the lyrics.
I think he likes it because it's not pretending to be anything other than what you mentioned. Of course it's trying to take over the world. Why else would the companies be putting so much money into playing it everywhere?

Proceeds to play corporate prepackaged pop
Mmm. His way of saying "I beg to differ." .
Masterful interrogation technique
I remember reading about how when Jeff was voicing this the people working on the show were like "let's just make this The Question Show." They really should have. Thanks for sharing this.
One of my favorite superheros ever. it's a crime he wasn't on the show longer.
yeah, that's dc for u . They have potential characters, but they just throw them away and keep everything about batman .
"corporate prepackaged pop music" sounds ALMOST like one of the question's conspiracy theories. And yet he LOVES it.
could also just be a "I like it ironically, a so bad it's kinda funny way"
I think just puts everything into autistically specific categories like that.
Batman: uses some gadget to hack the lock or disables the alarm and enters through a window above
Question: throws a plant
Question is Batman on a budget and with far less plot armor.
I'm remembering an American Dad joke were Stan needs to break into a house, so he picks up a plant on the front porch and finds the key under it. He then throws the plant through the window and uses the key to clear out the rest of the glass

Cree Summer really is a world-class talent! Even when she's singing corporate pre-packaged pop!
Oh they had Cree sing that lol
I thought that singing sounded familiar😀!
Good ear! I had no idea!
that was Cree Summer? i just heard princess Kida of Atlantis sing a corporate pre-packaged pop song?
What about Jeffery Combs he sang an excellent cover acapella.

Batman uses actual torture. Question tortures you with gas and horrible pop music. Both are equally effective.
Shanethefilmmaker that gas is arasol the substance that changes his appearance and keeps his mask on and by the way I like pop music

Love The Question, and love his voice. it fits him very well.
Love how after Q throws the plant through the door he sings 'Ooops I done it!' xD
If they put the Question in the DCU they should adapt this scene shot for shot, and give a full version of the song.
I hope so
one of my favorite scenes from JLU
Also, because of this scene, in my headcanon Vic Sage is a Britney Spears fan.
I want an album of Question covering pop songs.
2025 anyone? This show is timeless!
Most epic way of getting into costume! No phone booth, no spinning around like a tornado and no waiting for the batmobile, just throw down a smoke bomb and BAM! "WHERE ARE THE OTHER DRUGS GOING!?!"
I love that this episode is immediatley after the one batman sings at a show.
The song is a bop. I wish someone could do a full cover of it.
The question didn't even do anything, that screaming is just what happens when you listen to more than 10 seconds of pre-packaged pop.
That song is kinda great though. You have admit that.
better than a lot of modern songs
Oh my goodness I just realize question is singing the pop song
“I don’t want to be alone no more”
*PROCEEDS TO BREAK A WINDOW WITH A PLANT POT*
Dude has a whole damn Spy Disguise Kit (complete with mist effect) and he only used it once in the whole show.

Question was the best, I wish they'd make a show or movie for him and add Huntress along
I woke up a few days ago and these scenes were stuck in my head. I haven't seen this episode in a little over a year lol. I wish this was a full song
The play on words in the title doesn't get enough credit.
The Question needs his own TV show, who agrees?
as long as it's not CW, they used to do good, now it's just sad, did you see their grundy?
@@aidenfurry471 it needs to be on HBO Max as they've shown in the past that they can deliver with DC shows, oh god, their Grundy was horrible
Someone needs to make a Question movie and do it right!

I don't think him singing it was in the script. I think Combs sang it for fun and they tried recording as much as they could without laughing.

This is the closest we'll get to Batman singing Britney Spears.

The fact you don't see what Question does to the guy really makes you think.....Did he steal his face ....Did he do the forbidden deed? So many questions
Steal his face?
I actually hum the song now when I'm not thinking about it
We need a new series with just the Combs Question.
Great... now this song is stuck in my head...
0:46 Who needs grappling hooks to get into a building?

No one else:
Literally no one else:
Me: But the Question is better tho!
what is the music? I NEED IT
I admit, if I were a hero I would have gone for more of a Justin Bieber interrogation scene. Pre-packaged pop from corperate is my...wait...

Deathstroke is my favourite and question is nu2, u have good taste.
wow i never noticed the song in the car was the one he sang xD
