I like to think Bruce Tim watches these and purposely makes things contradict each other just so he can watch you guys slowly go crazy trying to figure it out
Wouldn't the simplest explanation be that the movie is being told from Harley Quinn's point-of-view, making her an unreliable narrator? It leaves room to make this movie, in a way, to be both canon and non-canon at the same time.
To me, when someone is younger, they want to find a way for everything to fit in the same universe, and jump through tons of hoops to INCLUDE lots of different media in the same universe, like when you play with action figures of different brands or try to make your favorite movies fit in the same universe. But when you get older and grumpier, you go out of your way to EXCLUDE content that you have decided you don't like. For example the people that don't like Star Wars episode 8 or Indiana Jones 4.
Finally! An entire month dedicated to my favorite DC character Adam Strange, and his trademark zeta beam technology! He truly is the linchpin to the entire DCAU! Btw, I was a bit confused by those boomerang-headed robots at the end, what was all that about?
54:55 - 57:35 This speech is a masterpiece. Everything about is powerful and emotional, and executed as perfectly as the highlight of a project like this can be. Everyone involved with it should be proud of themselves for helping to bring it to life. ❤
I don't know what adjective to use to say this video was way way more than good, amazing or incredible but holy moly it was! Let's hope you guys reach millions of views and likes, you truly deserve it! Looking forward big time to what's next, it was worth the waiting time!
46:18 “I’m not evil” Also 46:47 me: that’s the thing that makes ya evil dr. Ted! You don’t just move earths into the sun, that’ll kill them all and erase it all!
Kinda miss when "Will it Canon?" Was just James standing in a kitchen set talking about this stuff for a while and then trying to shove a DVD into a canister.
Luckily, those early episodes are still very much available to watch! Hope you have fun revisiting them! 😊 We started conceptualizing this ending very early on (going back through our messages the other night, seems to be around the time of episode 2 or 3?) so it was always planned to head this way, and we wanted to go as big as possible to help make the wait as worth it as possible since covid set us back a bit! That said, if you've made it to the end... now that the fictional me is back from the future, Data James is out of the computer, and *spoilers* is out of the picture, there's a lot of room for us to return to a more stripped down approach. Remember, this took us 4 years to make! It's an event! Not every episode of the show will be this in perpetuity.
@@mattiesavannahpahl9934 oh goodness! Thanks for the reply. Don't know why it surprised me so much, I've been responded to on one of your videos before. I totally appreciate the work that must have gone into this ridiculously complex arc. It's on an epic scale and you deserve all the respect. Seriously. Didn't mean to downplay that or anything: and I've definitely enjoyed the ride! "Will it Canon?" has been up there among my favorite segments on the channel since it's inception. I'm not even super into canonicity, I just enjoyed learning about new things that may or may not have been part of the DCAU. For instance it never occurred to me that Teen Titans might be in the same timeline as Justice League TAS. ( I grew up with both.) And exploring that possibility with you guys was fun even though it turned out to be (as I suspected) Not Canon. I am enjoying/have enjoyed this big story arc. Just feeling a little nostalgic for the simplicity of the early days. No shade, you've done a fantastic job making a really cool thing. Keep up the good work!
I can't properly put into words how great this video was, you all put alot of work and thought into it and it definitely shows! Can't believe I've been subscribed to the channel for about 4 Years now and you've re-opened my love for the universe I grew up with. So thank you for all these years of entertaining and educating me on one of the most important franchises in my life.
Man, I love this channel and have been binging it and it deserves SO much more recognition and support. But I don't think lore movies interspersed into the main content just works anymore. I don't know any of the pretext so I just skipped through all of it. Quinton Reviews did it well for me by putting his lore movie entirely at the end of the content for that particular video. Still love the channel just something I personally did not like here. The title and thumbnail and promise of the video premise were just not present in the content I was presented with and I keep getting interjections to a skit I don't understand because I skipped the setup. It's also a bit annoying how you did the nerd voice and made fun of io9 in a lore video. It feels like. Stones glass houses.
Wait, what about Staro? Was it teliported back to it's univerce too when it fell off of it's host? Or is it floating around, waiting for it's next opretunity for conquest?
Have I already watched this several times? Yes. Will I watch it many more times? Yes. This is fantastic and deserves way more views, watch and share people!
This was a fantastic production. Thank you so mucho for your effort from title sequence to credits. I"ve been away as a viewer attempting, like we all are, to put my life together, but my enjoyment is still here. Thank you, again, and greetings from México. P.S. I just remembered I have not gotten my Mr. Wing Lewds. Still waiting for those.
If the future of this channel is continuing to make these interconnected films, I'm all for it. That tease for the next project 😉 was absolutely masterful.
Thank you so much! The “I’ve Got Mattie in My Basement” playlist is there for you, but we’ll also be hosting a complete story watch-through with live commentary next Sunday!
Well now, that was simply fantastic! Awesome job from start to finish. I loved every second of it. Congratulations to everyone involved. Well worth the wait. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I don't think smaller continuity errors make it not canon, you can't expect the creators to know every other entry in the "canon" exactly without some kind of canon master and even someone like Bruce can't remember every tiny detail he made over 20 years ago. There will always be some smaller problems in any new media. However, other movies and shows are clearly not set in the same universe and have large differences. Yeah, the humor of Batman and Harley Quinn is generally more then in BTAS but even that had varying humor from episode to episode, some were really dark and serious, others rather fun so I don't think that proves anything either. Warner will just say whatever earns them most money but I think Bruce likely know what he is talking about. So yeah, my vote is that it is. George Lucas did have people to keep track on continuity for his 6 Star wars movies and yet there are problems and far larger then anything here. For instance didn't Ben recognize the robot he traveled half the galaxy with when he met him in a new hope, R2D2 might have got his memory wiped but Ben spent years with R2D2 and never got his memory wiped and that is just one of many things. So with the continuity thinking, the prequels happened in another universe no matter what Lucas claimed which is pretty ridicoulus. There are even more errors in the new movies but I like to pretend they don't exist. You will never get things perfect, so smaller errors is still fine. Teen Titans and Young Justice however have a large difference that can't just be explained by a few simple mistakes so those are clearly not canon. The Martian Manhunter is the last surviving Martian in Justice league and you could argue that Miss Martian survived too (and J'onn might not have sensed her because she was far away, in cryo sleep or whatever), but in Young Justice the Martians are all doing fine and have at least 1 huge city so it is clearly not canon (and you find lots of things like that there).
I think continuity is a pain for these types of stories. Harley's ending in the Return of the Joker movie was written at a time when Harley was a very different character. Harley now has evolved so much, that it's a shame that all her growth and development just puts her in a Status quo, from 20 years ago.
This was the "finale" of our years-long channel storyline. You can find the whole thing in our "I've Got Mattie in My Basement" playlist, which I believe is linked in the description here!
umm you guys batman and harley quinn might take place between the end of justice league unlimited and the batman beyond return of the joker flashback sequence that explains why robin (tim drake) is not there cause it is clearly stated the league exists i realize there's minor hiccups in continuity however i'm no expert but still I'm disappointed these points weren't considered
Wow. After that powerful speech/debate on canon, I think there’s only truly one thing to ask………..so is like TDKR canon because Bruce Timm worked on it😂😂
@@dcauwatchtower Neither are silent but based on appearance, as I'm still not used to seeing Mattie with facial hair, my first instinct is to say they're Jay while James is Silent Bob except without his backwards cap. Edit: Mattie's pronoun. Thanks!
I Get It. society Can Only Exist Because the Whims of Murderers Said: "Not Today. I am tired and comfortable" and so Flourished the Faith. Faith In: The Canon
The verdict is, canon Is what you want canon to be because like they all said everything in this world is just stories. To create stories you must have ideas and to have ideas you have imagination. Everything you love goes how you believe it goes because in the end......it's how you read and watch the stories unfold. Our imagination makes all those hard to answer questions easy, they are canon to you or they are not. May it be any, it's your opinion....and what I say is enjoy it the way you see it.
You know, it's funny, this stuff was literally all solved with Hypertime, but fans complained about... not being able to complain... anymore? or something? I'm not too sure... but anyhow, there was a bunch of fan backlash, and now Hypertime basically still _could_ fix everything, but it doesn't. Kinda like how the "it was all a dream" thing got overused at some point; so now after a bunch of wacky, impossible shit goes down, it's just all real, it all happened, it was a strange episode, and no one ever mentions any of the events ever again... but it sure as Hell was not a dream!
Why doesn't someone do a fanfiction loosely based on the DC AU Synthoids inspired by the movie A. I. where still functioning damaged synthoids start restoring function to their co-fallen somewhere that the watchtower sends their scrapped equipment to. Did anyone ever cover how and why Zeta's head went to a more humanish pill shape? In the end the framing element on this of the trial padded it out, like my comment is with the fanfiction question and like with other will it cannon just makes it feel like a lot of work for little point. Is that even the end of the character? its not like there was a body left for a he's dead declaration.
People who still don't think it's Canon By the idea that The more adult content in the Batman and Harley Quinn movie specifically Ahem, Harley literally says "Come on, Mister J. Don't you want to reve up your Harley ?" That's Innuendo for the...... Horizontal shuffle guys
Batman adventures vol 2 like all the DCAU tie-in comics, has a lot of continuity problems that makes all of these books not fit into continuity at all, so no, the TNBA Poison Ivy is not a plant clone, it's the same Poison Ivy from the original run of Batman The Animated series.
@@dcauwatchtower I've seen the video, and I must say, I'm still not fully convinced every issue from Batman Adventures vol 2 is cannon, there are some plot holes like Ventriliquist being an inmate at Arkham when he was reformed in Double Talk, Alfred looking very deprepid but when he appeared in Justice Leauge and Mystery of the batwoman he looks exactly the same as he did in TNBA, the T-rex thing still dosen't make a whole lot of sense, plus I still believe Tims Robin costume was the one he had when he was a kid, why else would Batman memorialize it, sure this isn't establised cannon and is merly headcannon, but it's the only way to make sense of it, so it dosen't match up with logic.
Imho canon DOES matter BUT it doesn’t DEFINE IF SOMETHING IS GOOD OR BAD! I don’t think the film is made to be canon based off interviews and intentions. Which is good because if you like it,it’s not canon to btas but btas is canon to IT! Meaning you have a world with and without it to enjoy or ignore! :)
Watchtower Database has the courage and power David Sazlav will never have. He continues to cancel projects that both evolve the DC (and Warner Bros) brand and pay homage to the past.

Rewatching this which reminded me of the sort of Harley and Nightwing ship and it got me thinking about a couple things: 1. Do we like the idea of a Harley and Nightwing pairing with the idea of her trying to not be so tied to the Joker? I don't know if the ages can work out that way we don't get another "Bruce and Barb" situation again. 2. Spinning off the idea from the prior thing and from some art i've seen, would it make sense if Harley got together with Jack Ryder (The Creeper) since he's basically Joker but a good guy to give her a more "healthy" relationship and who she might have gotten together to eventually give us The Dee Dee Twins? I know she rejected him before in a prior episode but is there a possibility it could work in a post-"move on from joker" relationship? Also side note, can I vote we start calling the DCAU the "BTAU" (Bruce Timm Animated Universe) or something so as to help make clearer labels between all the different animated shows and canons?
The labels certainly aren't as clear as they could be, but there really is only one DCAU. There's not even any other franchise of DC animated shows that are as expansive or connected. The only ones that come to mind are the movie franchises, the DC Animated Movie Universe (DCAMU) and Tomorrowverse ("Superman: Man of Tomorrow" and onward).
Great video guys! One issue: The Underdwellers is considered a silly episode by fans!? I always thought it was pretty dark lol. A crazy man wearing a cape in the sewers potentially kidnapping children and mentally and physically abusing them while putting them to work is dark lol. Then you have Batman at the end briefly considering breaking his code and killing the guy!

I like to think Bruce Tim watches these and purposely makes things contradict each other just so he can watch you guys slowly go crazy trying to figure it out
I think it's honestly just because Bruce doesn't care to keep up with canon or trying to balance it anymore, I mean it's been like 30 years.
@@Elfenlied8675309I mean honestly story should before cannon.
Wouldn't the simplest explanation be that the movie is being told from Harley Quinn's point-of-view, making her an unreliable narrator?
It leaves room to make this movie, in a way, to be both canon and non-canon at the same time.
I like this, explains why some characters felt "off"
So, basically every TES in-game book then?
This works too.
Yes.
But also a high cop-out way, which is why it's a last resort if at all.
@@samurexatlas7373 I wouldn't call it a cop out. Many great stories were told through unreliable narrators.
To me, when someone is younger, they want to find a way for everything to fit in the same universe, and jump through tons of hoops to INCLUDE lots of different media in the same universe, like when you play with action figures of different brands or try to make your favorite movies fit in the same universe.
But when you get older and grumpier, you go out of your way to EXCLUDE content that you have decided you don't like. For example the people that don't like Star Wars episode 8 or Indiana Jones 4.
Star Wars Episode 8 What that's? Don't make up numbers lol
Such is fanon discontinuity and Multiverse Theory. Also, the occasional canon discontinuity.

ZETA MONTH! WHHHHAAATT?!!!! YEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
People who still don't think it's Canon
By the idea that The more adult content in the Batman and Harley Quinn movie specifically
Ahem, Harley literally says "Come on, Mister J. Don't you want to reve up your Harley ?"
That's Innuendo for the...... Horizontal shuffle guys
All I can say is...FINALLYYYYYYYYY!!!
I'm excited. I'm also speechless, like how did we get to here WOW!
Wow. This is incredible.
Thank you! It doesn't get too many new eyes these days
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS
I mean you can explain it as the flash or another speedster messing with time so continuity changed.
Batman adventures vol 2 like all the DCAU tie-in comics, has a lot of continuity problems that makes all of these books not fit into continuity at all, so no, the TNBA Poison Ivy is not a plant clone, it's the same Poison Ivy from the original run of Batman The Animated series.
We did a timeline video on BAv2 and found...maybe 2 continuity issues? Check out our full Poison Ivy plant clone video when you get the chance, too!
@@dcauwatchtower I've seen the video, and I must say, I'm still not fully convinced every issue from Batman Adventures vol 2 is cannon, there are some plot holes like Ventriliquist being an inmate at Arkham when he was reformed in Double Talk, Alfred looking very deprepid but when he appeared in Justice Leauge and Mystery of the batwoman he looks exactly the same as he did in TNBA, the T-rex thing still dosen't make a whole lot of sense, plus I still believe Tims Robin costume was the one he had when he was a kid, why else would Batman memorialize it, sure this isn't establised cannon and is merly headcannon, but it's the only way to make sense of it, so it dosen't match up with logic.
is legion of superheroes cannon?
Nope!
@@dcauwatchtower dang i remember it so vaguely and seeing mullet brainiac gave me so much hope
The question isn't will it canon, but should it canon
Jason Stephens as Kurt...Ah I get it. "Kurt"wood Smith. Damn good impersonation of Red Foreman from Jason.
Disappointed that Doctor Manhatted isn’t covered in a glowing blue digital effect
oh shit jason stephens in the house
Imho canon DOES matter BUT it doesn’t DEFINE IF SOMETHING IS GOOD OR BAD! I don’t think the film is made to be canon based off interviews and intentions. Which is good because if you like it,it’s not canon to btas but btas is canon to IT! Meaning you have a world with and without it to enjoy or ignore! :)
AAAAAAAAH IM SO EXCITED AAAAAAH
Bravo! Wonderful work.
Watchtower Database has the courage and power David Sazlav will never have. He continues to cancel projects that both evolve the DC (and Warner Bros) brand and pay homage to the past.
Best birthday gift ever
What a twist
I'll be here a bit late due to my timezone but, gosh darn it, I'll be here for this.
Haven’t watched the video yet, but I really hope this happens before The Joker’s death.
It does!
We have a separate timeline video for the movie
@@dcauwatchtower Thank you!!!

I think I missed a few episodes of will I cannon because I’m super confused
Here ya go! Grabbed you a link to our storyline platlist! If you find where you left off, It should be easy to catch up! ☺️

Rewatching this which reminded me of the sort of Harley and Nightwing ship and it got me thinking about a couple things:
1. Do we like the idea of a Harley and Nightwing pairing with the idea of her trying to not be so tied to the Joker? I don't know if the ages can work out that way we don't get another "Bruce and Barb" situation again.
2. Spinning off the idea from the prior thing and from some art i've seen, would it make sense if Harley got together with Jack Ryder (The Creeper) since he's basically Joker but a good guy to give her a more "healthy" relationship and who she might have gotten together to eventually give us The Dee Dee Twins? I know she rejected him before in a prior episode but is there a possibility it could work in a post-"move on from joker" relationship?
Also side note, can I vote we start calling the DCAU the "BTAU" (Bruce Timm Animated Universe) or something so as to help make clearer labels between all the different animated shows and canons?
The labels certainly aren't as clear as they could be, but there really is only one DCAU. There's not even any other franchise of DC animated shows that are as expansive or connected. The only ones that come to mind are the movie franchises, the DC Animated Movie Universe (DCAMU) and Tomorrowverse ("Superman: Man of Tomorrow" and onward).
great video but WHAT THE F#$k was bruc timm ON WHILE MAKING THIS MOVIE
This skit was pure gold!!!!
Video starts 21:32
Actually it starts at 0:00, I dunno what happened there
I don't even consider this...., movie cannon mainly the end of the film Killing off Swamp Thing? Demon? No. No. And NO!
They didn't kill Swamp Thing 🤔
Oooo nice zetas
Great video guys! One issue: The Underdwellers is considered a silly episode by fans!? I always thought it was pretty dark lol. A crazy man wearing a cape in the sewers potentially kidnapping children and mentally and physically abusing them while putting them to work is dark lol. Then you have Batman at the end briefly considering breaking his code and killing the guy!
Conceptually, absolutely. In execution? A pretty awful episode, in my opinion.
Still not a "Hoop Squad".
ZETA PROJECT MONTH! WOOOOOOOOooooooooo.....
