Quick correction this universe is called the DCAMU (dc animated movie universe). DCAU refers to the continuity started by Batman the animated series in the 90s.
@@TimothyMills77Some back stories suggest that Bruce's mother had suffered with mental illness for a long time before then and Thomas looked after her keeping it secret from everyone.
@swanchamp5136 Thank you for telling me that. I'm not a very DC rich person, I mostly watch Marvel, Transformers, and Star Wars. The DC stuff I have watched is Teen Titans, teen titans go, Batman Beyond, TITANS, and I've seen all the DCEU movies and every Batman movie, lol. I'd say my favorite DC superhero is Nightwing, lol.
@reedschneider6587 Not as many people would've gone to see a rated R flash movie. I mean, most parents are okay with their kids seeing a pg-13 film, but most are steady when it comes to movies rated R.
Dude, Flashpoint is not even a Flash solo story, it's a story that evolves the whole DC universe. Until this day The Flash hasn't got his own solo movie yet, neither animated or live action. The closest thing to a story focused only in Flash's own world was the CW show.
Just to be clear, this is part of the DCAMU continuity, not to be confused with the DCAU continuity, which concised of several animated series, including the batman animated series and justice league, and several movies.
@@LucasEdwards26 Well we really only see the begining and end. Her mind snapping at the murder of her son and the future where she's become the joker. Nothing say's she couldn't have taken years to get from mentally broken to mentally breaking others.
Someone really needs to distinguish this for clarity sake; Flashpoint is part of the DCAMU, which includes. 1. Flashpoint Paradox 2. Justice League War 3. Son of Batman 4. Justice League: Throne of Atlantis 5. Batman vs. Robin 6. Batman: Bad Blood 7. Justice League vs. Teen Titans 8. Justice League Dark 9. Teen Titans The Judas Contract 10. Suicide Squad Hell to Pay 11. The Death of Superman 12. Constantine City of Demons 13. Reign of the Superman 14. Batman Hush 15. Wonder Woman Bloodlines 16. Justice League Dark Apokolips War Not all of these are necessary, but it requires an explanation, as there are a lot of DC animated universes that are completely separate from this. It's really convoluted but I hope you all enjoy this saga. I'd also strongly recommend watching at least a few animated shows from the DCAU, which is connected to Batman The Animated series, specifically Justice League and it's sequel series Justice League Unlimited, it's an absolute masterpiece and better than anything else from DC in my opinion.
@@andrewe2057 yeah, I just wanted to clarify. DC Animation can get pretty confusing and every source varies with reliability. But you're right, there are just a few key films that really warrant a reaction.
The reverse flash - absolute menace, day two hater, man found out that he was destined to be his favorite hero's greatest villain and decided to commit. Everything bad in Barry's life including the death of his mother and that one time he fell down the stair, it was him Barry
27:36 “You’re one hell of a messenger” was probably a nod towards The Flash being a modern day version of the Greek God Hermes/Mercury, which one of his roles was a messenger.
Agreed, although overall it's pretty understandable if you just know the JLA characters. But there are a _lot_ of interesting and poignant details if you're a hardcore fan
Jen mentions Reverse Flash's swapped colours, Thawne was a Flash super fan from the 23rd century that replicated Barry's powers, in later comics it's explained that Thawne swapped the colours originally because he wanted to be Barry's partner, as Kid Flash ( the Flash's sidekick ) primarily wore the colour yellow, however Thawne had a psychotic break after finding out that he was destined to become the Reverse Flash and one day die by Barry's hands, ultimately making him the Flash's greatest enemy Glad you both enjoyed the film and can't wait for Justice League War ✊
Indeed, though I fear that - like a lot of reactors - once they’ve started down the very mid trail of DCAMU movies, there’s hardly ever a return to the older and better DC films.
the ripple effect for time in this Flashpoint theory is just like throwing a pebble in a pool of water. The ripples from the pebble do not just go in one direction, they travel in all directions .
Okay so, the guy you said was The Atom was actually Captain Atom, not The Atom. The Atom is a scientist named Ray Palmer who has the ability to shrink to the size of atoms, hence the name. Captain Atom was a solder who has the ability to manipulate and absorb different forms of radiation. So theoretically he can be an issue for Superman (except Superman is simply infinitely to fast and strong for captain Atom to actually be effective).
This is the beginning of the DCAMU, with following movies based on the 2011 New 52 comics after this (the movies have been rough sparsely rough after this, and have not been surefire hits after awhile) The films in this series do have an order, like the MCU, so things will be introduced in a movie prior if you skipped one (The movies do a pretty decent job at explaining things too). The movies before this are, straight bangers, The Batman/Superman movies, every Batman and Superman movie, Wonder Woman, Green Lanterns, and the Justice League movies are fantastic, like back to back. Reasons why things are the way they are notes: The Flash museum was made by the people of Central City, because The Flash is seen as a hero who keeps peace and order rather well, even with his villains (The Rouge's, as seen in the beginning), in a pact to not kill civilians. The Yo-Yo is a alternate Harley Quinn Martha Wayne, after Bruce is killed, becomes The Joker in this world. The end credits is a tease to Justice League: War, and the coming of Darkseid, and his Parademon forces.
Little correction the DCAU is the Animated Universe that began with Batman: Animated Series the universe with the really cool timeless retro futuristic art direction where Gotham looks like a mix between the 1930s and 1990s while Metropolis in Superman Animated Series is an Art Deco City of Tomorrow inspired by 1950s futurism. These two shows then give birth to Batman Beyond, Static Shock, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited and a few Animated movies with Mask of the Phantasm being one of the best Batman movies of all time. All these projects overseen by Bruce Timm all depicted in his art style that has a very vintage 1930s to 1950s feel to it. The DCAMU beginning with Flashpoint Paradox is a whole differant continuity inspired heavily by The New 52 both in it's stories but also character designs and overall tone and art direction. Flashpoint is set post New 52 so it showcases a more post crisis classic depiction of these characters with many of the voice actors being from past DC Animated Projects such as Kevin Conroy as Batman. The actions of Berry in this film creates a new timeline with a bunch of changes giving birth to the New 52 inspired universe something you'll notice in the next film with character designs, origin stories, and overall tone etc. Also new voice actors for most of the characters including Batman. The DCAU is much better overall but I do enjoy some of the DCAMU films with Flashpoint being the best in my opinion. It's very up and done in quality and faces many of the same problems the Ultimate's did in Marvel's Ultimate Universe. Trying to make all the characters extremely dark and edgy while showcasing character designs that lack any uniqueness and look like all the hero's went to the same tailor. I was never a big fan of the New 52 Superman design or stories but I do like New 52 Batman for the most part and to give it credit the New 52 introduced alot of cool new lore elements, characters, and stories. One thing I do dislike about these films is how boring the cities look, Metropolis and Gotham just look too basic normal everyday American city with no personality. Coming off the DCAU with it's amazing depictions of Gotham and Metropolis, not to mention a Neo Futuristic Gotham City in Batman Beyond. But I feel like the New 52 tired it's best to be "more grounded" a big mistake when it comes to a fictional universe with it's own unique cities and characters.
Aquaman being a joke is due to the old Super Friends cartoon, which Robot Chicken made fun of frequently. In the comics Aquaman has never been a joke in my opinion.
Yeah that cartoon did such damage to the common reception of Aquaman for years the comics went out of their way to make him as badass as possible to the point he lost a hand and had a hook or water prosthetic
Same!! I woke up & be like oh yes they are doing these dark animated films. I know DC will be putting these films in theaters later on & can’t wait for it
Actually, this movie is part of the DCAMU (DC Animated Movie Universe). The DCAU are a bunch of DC Animated TV Shows starring Batman The Animated Series, Superman The Animated Series, Static Shock, Justice League Animated Series, Justice League Unlimited Animated Series, Batman Beyond, and The Zeta Project. I do highly recommend you and Jen watch the Batman The Animated Series because it's an awesome show!
11:02 Mark! Ahem. Quote - There is no sound historical evidence that yo-yos were ever used as weapons; the notion is believed to have been a marketing gimmick disseminated by "Duncan" yo-yo demonstrators in the early years of the company. - End quote!
4:41 ... -Ma Allen: "Grandma told me a prayer. Accept the things you cannot change. Have the courage to change the things you can and have the wisdom to know the difference" -Barry: "Whoa, grandma was an alcoholic?" -Ma Allen: "Of course, best things always comes from alcoholic people. How do you think you were conceived?" -Barry: "😰"
I'm surprised they're reacting to Dune, the karate kid films and stuff. If they watch the karate kid saga, I hope they watch Cobra kai later on too because I love Cobra kai, it's my favorite show and S6 will be here soon.
Just to correct Holden... The animated movies are the "DCAMU" the DCAU refers to the shared universe of Batman, Superman, Justice League unlimited and Batman Beyond
6:44 Mark! Holden, howdy! 🤠 "Zoom"? As opposed to... Thirty years ago, Jack Shepard (Tim Allen) was known as Captain Zoom for his incredible speed. At a secret facility known as Area 52, Jack led a group of superheroes known as Team Zenith, created by General Larraby (Rip Torn) and scientist Doctor Grant. (November 22, 2023.) There's another one with a similar name owned by "DC"? I only know of "Reverse Flash" as the moniker. 🤷♂️
The Reverse Flash is one of the best super villains in all of history he lives just to make Barrys life miserable Cant wait for another dcau movies reactions
It is really amazing following your journey and seeing how it allows Jen (mostly) to be able to enjoy a movie such as this. I don't mean it as a negative to her previous tastes at all.... just that it has captured the essence of being able to let go of preconceptions and just enjoy something and enjoy the story. It speaks to your journey and it speaks to your willingness to be able to embrace what others see in this kind of media.
Loved the reaction!!! Please keep continuing, here’s the DCAMU movies in order Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (2013) Justice League: War (2014) Son of Batman (2014) Justice League: Throne of Atlantis (2015) Batman vs. Robin (2015) Batman: Bad Blood (2016) Justice League vs. Teen Titans (2016) Justice League Dark (2017) Teen Titans: The Judas Contract (2017) Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay (2018) The Death of Superman (2018) Constantine: City of Demons (2018) Reign of the Supermen (2019) Batman: Hush (2019) Wonder Woman: Bloodlines (2019) Justice League Dark: Apokolips War (2020)
34:23 Mark! 3.6K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 You're welcome, and thanks! 😊 Notes: I, for one, appreciate your puns! 😂 Thus far, the live-action versions of "Barry Allen" have dark hair while in the comics and in animation and in Craig Ferguson's "The Late, Late Show" they are blond! I enjoyed Ryan's take on "Green Lantern", toy cars and all! As a live-action movie it shows off Hal's pilot skills better than any comic book or graphic novel ever could! I love the live-action "The Flash" movie for one very simple reason and it is the only live-action movie with both Gal Gadot as "Wonder Woman" and Helen Slater as "Supergirl" in it! The rest is just the pretty frame! Yes, Mera, dresses like that! Her wardrobe, to me, has always seemed to be inspired by the original "Star Trek" series. 🖖 Your dog is still so adorable! ❤
9.5?! That’s awesome! I’m so glad Jen loved it so much! It’s one of my favorites. I hope you guys watch the next one in the series, Justice League: War. It has one of my favorite interactions between Batman and Superman. I can’t wait! 😍 😁
This was the beginning of the New 52 universe, from there came 16 animated films, all connected, which would be very worth seeing in order. Especially Suicide Squad, you'll see what happened to one of the Flash Point characters, because everything is connected in a single story in these movies.
Gotta love the differences in characters in this movie. Like Harley Quin becoming the villain known as Yo-yo,, and Martha Wayne becoming the Joker.. Or known villains of some heroes working together with the heroes like Black Manta on Aquamans team
20:00 specifics is just a minute or two dependinbg on who is writing. only time it lasted longer which is days is if he does his super flare, expunge all the solar rays in his blood cells for a massive heat nova. batman had to pick him up and recharge him with those artifiical sun lamps which took days. outside maybe few hours but at the time 1. he is pretty much human so he can get easily killed in this window and 2. ppl were searching for him so it was best that batman took him in before anyone else good or bad found him in a complete weak state.
I have to share in one of the star wars games Luke Skywalker sitting in a cave with a stormtrooper hed just saved and befuddled he asks "Why did you save me?" to which Luke says immediately,"Because you needed help"
“You’d be amazed what monsters this world can create” this line from Thomas hits knowing his wife literally became the joker n she didn’t have jokers gas at all Holden!
16:30 details on that from the tie in comics. Martha became the joker. The design for her is based on heath ledger joker from dark knight movie if you look up Martha Wayne joker.
I would love to see someone of Nolan's Caliber do a Trilogy in an alternate universe with Thomas Wayne as Batman. Movie one could explore this darker, more bitter Batman, who lost a son. Second movie could be Martha as the Joker in that world, which really adds an interesting take on why no matter how much harm he does, Batman just won't kill the Joker. And the third could bring in Flashpoint narrative and ending that reality. Just a thought.
One thing i loke about the voice acting that i didn't notice for a while, was this is the "torch passing" of supes, bats, and dianas voice actors to the dcau voices. In thia series, bats is voice by jason omara, who i believe is a great successor to kevin.
I love the red smile on Martha’s face is from Bruce’s blood. Also just think that in this universe Batman’s (Thomas Wayne) worst enemy is his wife who became the Joker. I kinda remember in the comic Thomas telling her that in another timeline Bruce is alive. This was able to get her to help him with what he needed to do. I remember only seeing a bit of it so I don’t recall what all happened.
One of my favorite DC animated movies! Last year DC Comics revealed what the letter from Thomas Wayne said: "Dear son, There's only one thing I know about life. I know some things happen by chance. And some things happen because we make them happen. Barry Allen was once haunted by the past. But when he became the Flash, he left the ghosts behind. He found love, a family. And for the first time ever... friends. Barry thought yesterday was behind him...but somebody wouldn't let him escape it. When Barry came to me for help, I turned him away. I'm not the hero of this story. I'm a man who's been corrupted by his own unbearable pain. I'm a man who has too much blood on his hands to be called good. Your friend taught me we can't only live a life for those we've lost. We have to live a life for those we still have. If I got a second chance, I would hope I'd come to understand that. To live that...like you should, Bruce. That's all parents want for their children. What we never had. Your mother and I want you to be happy. Promise me you'll try. And I will too. wherever I am. Love always, your father -- Thomas."
I'm glad the DCAMU fanbase is still alive. For you guys to have over 40k views in 4 days proves that. I can't wait for you guys to binge watch every movie in order.
Regarding the guy who was used as an atomic bomb, his name is Captain Atom. His powers are evident enough, he’s an atomic powerhouse. But since he’s too OP, he doesn’t show up often in DC movies unless it’s to make him explode😂
There's a side comic about Thomas Wayne Batman and what he gets up to after meeting barry and giving him powers, but before the big final battle. Joker escapes the asylum, abducts children and murders them. Thomas tracks Martha Joker down, and at the culmination of the fight, he tells her that he has the ability to change the universe into one where Bruce lives. Martha regains her sanity, and they reconcile, before Martha asks what becomes of Bruce in the main timeline. Thomas says "he follows in his fathers footsteps", martha asks "he becomes a doctor?", and Thomas says "....no." This shatters what remains of Martha's psyche and she self terminates by throwing herself off a ledge.
I’ve always enjoyed the relationship between Bruce and Barry. When Bruce needs forensic help, he gets Barry. In the comics Bruce has said if his parents never tried he wish he would’ve been like Barry. They really respect each other.
You need to show Jen Batman Mask Of The Phantasm, it was released in Theatres back in 1993 while the show was on air, it failed sadly because Warner Brothers did not market it good enough and it was rushed into theatres but other than that it’s a fantastic movie, voice acting is amazing, animation is amazing maybe better or just as good as the animation on the show and the story is just emotional, Jen will probably break down watching it
minor correction, the Flashpoint Paradox IS a part of a DCEU, its the starting point for the animated movie franchise. These events cause the Justise League animated films, leading into the suicide squad animated films and the recent Constantine animated film.
Fun fact: the Flash Museum was built only a year after the Flash was noticed in Central City. They just immediately fell in love with him. Very different than other cities reactions to their hero's 😅.

It wasn't the joker gas. Martha Wayne just went insane and became the joker.
It's not the Joker's gas. In this timeline, BRUCE'S MOTHER IS THE JOKER!!!!!!!
She just went nuts.

the ripple effect for time in this Flashpoint theory is just like throwing a pebble in a pool of water. The ripples from the pebble do not just go in one direction, they travel in all directions .
Okay so, the guy you said was The Atom was actually Captain Atom, not The Atom.

Captain Atom was a solder who has the ability to manipulate and absorb different forms of radiation. So theoretically he can be an issue for Superman (except Superman is simply infinitely to fast and strong for captain Atom to actually be effective).
Man this film pushed the boundaries of Pg-13 rating.....I really liked the film and the voice cast!
Maybe, the old PG13 had a lot if stuff that would be R today.
This is the beginning of the DCAMU, with following movies based on the 2011 New 52 comics after this (the movies have been rough sparsely rough after this, and have not been surefire hits after awhile) The films in this series do have an order, like the MCU, so things will be introduced in a movie prior if you skipped one (The movies do a pretty decent job at explaining things too).
The movies before this are, straight bangers, The Batman/Superman movies, every Batman and Superman movie, Wonder Woman, Green Lanterns, and the Justice League movies are fantastic, like back to back.
Reasons why things are the way they are notes:
The Flash museum was made by the people of Central City, because The Flash is seen as a hero who keeps peace and order rather well, even with his villains (The Rouge's, as seen in the beginning), in a pact to not kill civilians.
The Yo-Yo is a alternate Harley Quinn
Martha Wayne, after Bruce is killed, becomes The Joker in this world.

A lot better than that godawful Flash movie that came out last year!
If Flash was just a live action version of Flashpoint Paradox, it would’ve been better.
It wasn't even bad per day. It's just Ezra millers rep and the weird CGI at times hurt it bad
@@ZarrarAAli Ezra could’ve been a saint and still not better than animated Flash
One of the best comic and movie of the flash. Having Batman and the Joker play out that way was so genius.
11:02 Mark! Ahem.
Quote - There is no sound historical evidence that yo-yos were ever used as weapons; the notion is believed to have been a marketing gimmick disseminated by "Duncan" yo-yo demonstrators in the early years of the company.
- End quote!
4:41 ...
-Ma Allen: "Grandma told me a prayer. Accept the things you cannot change. Have the courage to change the things you can and have the wisdom to know the difference"
-Barry: "Whoa, grandma was an alcoholic?"
-Ma Allen: "Of course, best things always comes from alcoholic people. How do you think you were conceived?"
-Barry: "😰"
Didn’t expect this! Awesome!! 😁
I'm surprised they're reacting to Dune, the karate kid films and stuff. If they watch the karate kid saga, I hope they watch Cobra kai later on too because I love Cobra kai, it's my favorite show and S6 will be here soon.
Just to correct Holden...
The animated movies are the "DCAMU"
the DCAU refers to the shared universe of Batman, Superman, Justice League unlimited and Batman Beyond
6:44 Mark! Holden, howdy! 🤠 "Zoom"? As opposed to...
Thirty years ago, Jack Shepard (Tim Allen) was known as Captain Zoom for his incredible speed. At a secret facility known as Area 52, Jack led a group of superheroes known as Team Zenith, created by General Larraby (Rip Torn) and scientist Doctor Grant. (November 22, 2023.)
There's another one with a similar name owned by "DC"? I only know of "Reverse Flash" as the moniker. 🤷♂️
Everyone knew Reverse Flash was going to be a criminal when his first crime was skirting the lines of Copyright Infringement on The Flash's image. Lol
19:11 Mark! Jen, a belated "Gesundheit!"
I hope they continue with this universe and watch it all the way through, loved it
The dc animated films have the best portrayals of the dc heroes!
Agree!! This is why I prefer animated stuff over live action such as Clone Wars/Rebels version of Ahsoka than her own show.
This whole animated film universe is quite good! Hopefully you watch most of them, because only a very few are worth skipping.
They have to watch Batman: Under the Red Hood beforehand though
Flash didn't make the museum, the city did it to honor him for all the times he saved the city.
The Reverse Flash is one of the best super villains in all of history he lives just to make Barrys life miserable
Cant wait for another dcau movies reactions
Jen should Watch the 2 Animated Green Lantern Movies before Watching the 2011 Green Lantern Movie!
17:00 The annual full name call.
HOLDEN THOMAS HARDMAN!
23:43 MY LEG!
Remember when you wanted to flip your pillow over to the cold side but it was also warm? It was me Barry.
It is really amazing following your journey and seeing how it allows Jen (mostly) to be able to enjoy a movie such as this.
I don't mean it as a negative to her previous tastes at all.... just that it has captured the essence of being able to let go of preconceptions and just enjoy something and enjoy the story.
It speaks to your journey and it speaks to your willingness to be able to embrace what others see in this kind of media.
31:44 Well, Reverse Flash is the literal reverse of the Flash... colors included! 🤣
Nah the “my leg” caught me so off guard😂😂

13:43 “that popped out of his ring” 😂😂😂
The dcamu is my favorite universe, so happy you guys are diving into it!
I'd recommend watching Green Lantern: First Flight, it is a great introduction to the character.
34:23 Mark! 3.6K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 You're welcome, and thanks! 😊
Notes: I, for one, appreciate your puns! 😂
Thus far, the live-action versions of "Barry Allen" have dark hair while in the comics and in animation and in Craig Ferguson's "The Late, Late Show" they are blond!
I enjoyed Ryan's take on "Green Lantern", toy cars and all! As a live-action movie it shows off Hal's pilot skills better than any comic book or graphic novel ever could!
I love the live-action "The Flash" movie for one very simple reason and it is the only live-action movie with both Gal Gadot as "Wonder Woman" and Helen Slater as "Supergirl" in it! The rest is just the pretty frame!
Yes, Mera, dresses like that! Her wardrobe, to me, has always seemed to be inspired by the original "Star Trek" series. 🖖
Your dog is still so adorable! ❤
9.5?! That’s awesome! I’m so glad Jen loved it so much! It’s one of my favorites. I hope you guys watch the next one in the series, Justice League: War. It has one of my favorite interactions between Batman and Superman. I can’t wait! 😍 😁
Yess!!! SO glad y'all are getting into the DCAU!
This was the beginning of the New 52 universe, from there came 16 animated films, all connected, which would be very worth seeing in order. Especially Suicide Squad, you'll see what happened to one of the Flash Point characters, because everything is connected in a single story in these movies.
16:18.... The moment Ms Jens expression started to change I started thinking "yes, she's getting it", just to be immediately followed by "D'oh!" 😂😂
If you all are going to watch all the movies spawned after this I can’t wait to see your reactions to Justice League Dark Apokolips War.
Gotta love the differences in characters in this movie. Like Harley Quin becoming the villain known as Yo-yo,, and Martha Wayne becoming the Joker.. Or known villains of some heroes working together with the heroes like Black Manta on Aquamans team
(At 26:10) Deadshot with either be proud or embarrassed.
You should definitely have Jen watch the TV show Grant as the flash was perfect
20:00 specifics is just a minute or two dependinbg on who is writing. only time it lasted longer which is days is if he does his super flare, expunge all the solar rays in his blood cells for a massive heat nova. batman had to pick him up and recharge him with those artifiical sun lamps which took days. outside maybe few hours but at the time 1. he is pretty much human so he can get easily killed in this window and 2. ppl were searching for him so it was best that batman took him in before anyone else good or bad found him in a complete weak state.
I have to share in one of the star wars games Luke Skywalker sitting in a cave with a stormtrooper hed just saved and befuddled he asks "Why did you save me?" to which Luke says immediately,"Because you needed help"
“You’d be amazed what monsters this world can create” this line from Thomas hits knowing his wife literally became the joker n she didn’t have jokers gas at all Holden!
16:30 details on that from the tie in comics. Martha became the joker. The design for her is based on heath ledger joker from dark knight movie if you look up Martha Wayne joker.
I would love to see someone of Nolan's Caliber do a Trilogy in an alternate universe with Thomas Wayne as Batman. Movie one could explore this darker, more bitter Batman, who lost a son. Second movie could be Martha as the Joker in that world, which really adds an interesting take on why no matter how much harm he does, Batman just won't kill the Joker. And the third could bring in Flashpoint narrative and ending that reality. Just a thought.
WOW, I'm surprised at how much Jen liked this! Looking forward to more DC animated films!
Wow 9.5 from Jen!? Didn’t expect so glad you guys liked it!
As a long term DC nerd, Jen’s reaction to the wider DC universe is fantastic.
Bruce's mom became the Joker!!!!
One thing i loke about the voice acting that i didn't notice for a while, was this is the "torch passing" of supes, bats, and dianas voice actors to the dcau voices. In thia series, bats is voice by jason omara, who i believe is a great successor to kevin.
I love the red smile on Martha’s face is from Bruce’s blood. Also just think that in this universe Batman’s (Thomas Wayne) worst enemy is his wife who became the Joker.
I kinda remember in the comic Thomas telling her that in another timeline Bruce is alive. This was able to get her to help him with what he needed to do.
I remember only seeing a bit of it so I don’t recall what all happened.
(At 14:34) Black Manta: get away from my son!
One of my favorite DC animated movies! Last year DC Comics revealed what the letter from Thomas Wayne said:
"Dear son, There's only one thing I know about life. I know some things happen by chance. And some things happen because we make them happen. Barry Allen was once haunted by the past. But when he became the Flash, he left the ghosts behind. He found love, a family. And for the first time ever... friends. Barry thought yesterday was behind him...but somebody wouldn't let him escape it. When Barry came to me for help, I turned him away. I'm not the hero of this story. I'm a man who's been corrupted by his own unbearable pain. I'm a man who has too much blood on his hands to be called good. Your friend taught me we can't only live a life for those we've lost. We have to live a life for those we still have. If I got a second chance, I would hope I'd come to understand that. To live that...like you should, Bruce. That's all parents want for their children. What we never had. Your mother and I want you to be happy. Promise me you'll try.
And I will too. wherever I am. Love always, your father -- Thomas."
Hope y’all do all the DCAMU, would be cool. Order is online, even has its own wikipedia page!
Martha being the Joker to Thomas' Batman is poetic genius
I'm glad the DCAMU fanbase is still alive. For you guys to have over 40k views in 4 days proves that. I can't wait for you guys to binge watch every movie in order.
Let’s go!!!!! You’re gonna love these movies. Gotta do them all in order. It’s a lot of fun.
Regarding the guy who was used as an atomic bomb, his name is Captain Atom. His powers are evident enough, he’s an atomic powerhouse. But since he’s too OP, he doesn’t show up often in DC movies unless it’s to make him explode😂
DCAU is the bomb 🔥 fire asf and would recommend watching the whole Universe in order!
There's a side comic about Thomas Wayne Batman and what he gets up to after meeting barry and giving him powers, but before the big final battle. Joker escapes the asylum, abducts children and murders them. Thomas tracks Martha Joker down, and at the culmination of the fight, he tells her that he has the ability to change the universe into one where Bruce lives. Martha regains her sanity, and they reconcile, before Martha asks what becomes of Bruce in the main timeline. Thomas says "he follows in his fathers footsteps", martha asks "he becomes a doctor?", and Thomas says "....no." This shatters what remains of Martha's psyche and she self terminates by throwing herself off a ledge.
DC animated movies this is my dream come true I can't wait for you guys to see some of these DC animated movies they are great
Great reaction. Your wife is amazing and thank you for bringing her to our world of DC animated movies.
I’ve always enjoyed the relationship between Bruce and Barry. When Bruce needs forensic help, he gets Barry. In the comics Bruce has said if his parents never tried he wish he would’ve been like Barry. They really respect each other.
Gool reaction video as always! Love you guys ! ❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰
You need to show Jen Batman Mask Of The Phantasm, it was released in Theatres back in 1993 while the show was on air, it failed sadly because Warner Brothers did not market it good enough and it was rushed into theatres but other than that it’s a fantastic movie, voice acting is amazing, animation is amazing maybe better or just as good as the animation on the show and the story is just emotional, Jen will probably break down watching it
The animated movies are pretty great tbh so watching it slowly in order with be a nice change of pace
minor correction, the Flashpoint Paradox IS a part of a DCEU, its the starting point for the animated movie franchise. These events cause the Justise League animated films, leading into the suicide squad animated films and the recent Constantine animated film.
Batman WOULD be the one to know how a sociopath thinks. I mean Hell, he IS one.
The dcau is soo good and the post credit was for Justice League war
31:17 “There was a lot of the characters that were straight up killed, I thought that was great 🤓”😂😂😂
That reaction @16:04 priceless 😂
16:24What happened was that the trauma of Bruce dying made Martha go insane and she eventually became the Joker.
Holden should definitely let Jen react to the first season of the CW Flash!
Fun fact: the Flash Museum was built only a year after the Flash was noticed in Central City. They just immediately fell in love with him. Very different than other cities reactions to their hero's 😅.
WHAT ARE WE, SOME KIND OF SUICIDE SQUAD?!
I’m so excited for this journey! I hope you guys continue into the Tomorrowverse!
Yess im here for this Please dont stop here !
