I think a cool name for this story could be “Batman: The Orphaned Assassin”.
Finally, a channel which shares my childhood passion
We been around! Go check out the backlog!
“Ninjas, ninjas everywhere”
-James Strecker, 2021
The mark of Cain sounds good and it's kind of wink to Zorro which is apart of Batman's origin
so instead of "where's Nightwing?" now we have "Where's Batgirl?"
Wow, that is a truly ambitious story. Perhaps this would be better suited as an HBO Max miniseries rather than a movie, just to give all of the characters and plot points better room to breathe.
i really wanna practice storyboarding to this man. particularly the robin, cass, shiva scene 👀
Go for it!!!
Possible titles
“The daughter of Cain?”
“The Cain of destruction”
“The mark of destruction”
“The mark of Cain’s destruction”
I’ll probably add more later tbh
Dope. This is canon now I like to think, at least to Legacies
Safe to say!
@@Ted-Kendrick wish they'd have this happen in legacy
“I want to teach you how to fish.”
James Strecker, 2021
I really like this concept. As for a title, since you've got characters like Question and Deadman playing major roles, I'd drop the Batman part of the title all together and make it a Justice League story. Might seem weird when Batman's the only founding League member but plenty of JLU episodes were the same way. No idea what the subtitle would be though.
Yeah and I wonder about another alternative version of the Justice league where they are monsters as a love letter to the universal monsters
Just say it’s Justice League Dark, since there really aren’t enough mainstays to call it Justice League
@@gechoman44iwantahippo I disagree, Deadman is really the only one who fits the Justice League Dark motif in this story, and like I mentioned earlier several JLU episodes had few, if any, founding league members, so I think it could still work.
Honestly, I'd still probably go with "Batman: Mark of Cain," but another potential title could be "Batman: Live by the Sword..." A bit less plot specific, but it seems a good title for a movie about assassins and retains the Biblical cool factor. But, hey, it's your movie. 🤷♂️
Agreed. Mark of Cain sounds like a damn good title. Though since so many other characters are tied to it, I'd probably make it a Justice League title. Like "Justice League: The Mark of Cain" or something.
@@Gr4veM1nd I thought the same thing at first, but most of the characters are Bat-Family, so I think they could get away with filing it under "Batman." For instance, Booster Gold on the Watchtower is involved in Batman and Harley Quinn, but that's still a Batman movie. I think given the place in the post Justice League part of the timeline they're playing in, it just makes sense that the League is referenced or show up at some time, even if it's not per say a JL movie. However, I see what you're saying.
This is absolutely fantastic. Now that I think of it, I would LOVE to see THIS in the DCAU! Maybe you could write this in a script.
Also, my favorite part was James in the bathtub. Totally Hilarious!
Dang, that was amazing! I would watch the heck out of that and if I had Bruce Wayne levels of cash, I would fund its production right now! As for the title, Mark of Cain was the first thing that came to my mind too.
I would definitely love to see more videos like this.
...I dunno, if his last view of her was watching her get stabbed to death by her rapist in the arms of her beloved just after her daughter chopped off his own hand... I mean I guess there wasn't a way for Steel's creepy line to not be creepy, but if his reaction to that whole scenario was "gosh that corpse is sexy" there is something deeply wrong with him.
Not to mention "slice me off a piece of that woman who was, in fact, sliced to death."
You bring up a good point. TED! WHOSE IDEA WAS IT THAT SHE SHOULD DIE? MINE? I CAN’T EVEN REMEMBER ANYMORE!
Lol. Yeah, I noticed that too and was glad you already mentioned it. However, like you say, Sarge Steel seemed like a shady enough character in Batman & Harley Quinn that Shiva dying in this may not actually be a continuity problem, but that would be quite messed up.
@@andrewcozzini8259 Yes. Definitely not any sort of continuity thing. Just, I would absolutely never turn my back on this guy.
To answer your question, "Shiva: Mark of Destruction".
Wow Ted's audio is really improved with that microphone.
Was the "slice of pie" line why this is getting released on Pi Day?
It’s the same mic Ted has always had, it’s just halfway across the room in the past. I told him to “put the microphone inside your mouth this time” and BAZINGA.
@@dcauwatchtower And it turns out having batteries inside your shotgun mic AND your phantom powered recorder really messes things up. No batteries = much better
I think you did a great job! I didn't think it would be a big movie at first, but now I feel like there's a huge chunk of the DCAU missing.
I don't even care if this isn't officially canon, it's canon to me!
Now this is one hell of a Batman story...
To go with "Return of the Joker," "Mask of the Phantasm," and "Mystery of the Batwoman," I'm gonna have to go with something in the "Blank of the Blank" format.
(Yeah, I know, "Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero" and "Batman and Harley Quinn")
"Scion of the Shadows," maybe.
Attack of the Assassins!
Throw Cass in as the POV character and call it Batman - The Silent Knight
@@nerdking1019 silence of the knight
Speaking of Mystery of the Batwoman does anyone think that Mr Wing should take Banes place as in like a What If situation?
I can’t believe the pickpocketing thing from birds of prey came to good use
Love this! I would love more Shiva and Cassie content!!
This would be such a fun film but it does make me sad that if this was ever made Efrem Zimbalist Jr wouldn't be able to voice Alfred 😭😭
I know! I was thinking the other day that I might not mind that guy who played him on “Birds of Prey” if we had to have a replacement.
@@dcauwatchtower unfortunately I'm pretty sure he's passed on as well :'(
I would love to see Lady Shiva in the DCAU.
That is a really good idea, I would 100% watch this movie hopefully someone from WB sees this
Most chill intro on the channel
Do more vids like this the story was awesome!
I think i got a good title Batman: Shadows of the Past
37:06 that was amazingly funny!
I highly recommend the audio version of 52. Especially the Question storyline. It's well done and heartbreaking. Well worth the listen even if you didn't like the result. There are more Justice League and individual DC audio performances that would really surprise you. You guys are amazingly amazing.
Ive always wanted someone to talk about the many organizations and their histories in DC. RESPECT👐
Also, I hate to be that guy, but I'm not sure Robin can drop that cool "Orphan" reference at the end because isn't David Cain still alive? Unless, he maybe received the death penalty or something; then it works.
True, but for all intents and purposes, he is "dead to her" as a father
@@Ted-Kendrick That's a fair point and it is a nice nod to the comics. In your mind, does Cassie ever become Orphan and/or Batgirl in the DCAU after this point?
@@andrewcozzini8259 I think there’s certainly room for her to take on either identity, but not sure her Batgirl could exist while Barbara is still in the role
@@Ted-Kendrick Yeah, definitely. Perhaps sometime after Barbara retires following the ROTJ flashback, around the time of "Legacies of the DCAU" as a kinda unofficial Batgirl successor, like the one from the Beyond comics.
I would like to imagen she eventually became orphan in this continuity, but leaves gotham later on. ( maybe before or after the flashback of ROTJ ). Where she goes to china and becomes the batman there. ( similar to how it was in the comics ). She goes by either black bat or batman. Which in term would explains why she isn't around in batman beyond.
I would love to see Lady Shiva appear in the DCAU
Now that I have the "I'm Hush lol" shirt, I saw James wearing it and was like "Hey I have that shirt!"
Twinsies!
@@dcauwatchtower Twinsies who are both Hush...lol.
I’d just call it “Batman: Nana Parbat” or “Justice League Dark: Nanda Parbat,” but it is pretty hard to come up with a good name for this.
Also, if this was real, Deathstroke better be voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson doing his Shredder voice. That is the perfect voice for him and the DCAU has some of the best voices out there for its characters, so this would be a necessity to me.
Oh wow, you're the guys we keep getting Art from in the Questionposting group
Hm?
The version of Peacemaker in the video(if it is your guys) is used in memes where he's paired up with both Questions, Huntress, vigilante and Sarge Steel as a new Task force X while they try to catch somebody named Miracle Molly. It's just a series of FB memes lol
Nice setup Ted
I hope that line in Batman and Harley Quinn leads to another DCAU movie about that offscreen adventure, or if they don't hopefully you guys might cover it in Legacies
This was a cool idea, you guys should do more hypothetical videos like this coming up with stories.
Omg that fan fiction is amazing. Thank you for sharing that! You had the perfect dialogue for BTAS style and crossover with other characters in continuity. Amazing. Why aren't you guys part of the DC staff?
You guys are awesome. This story is head cannon for me.
we need more videos like this
Y'all must think poor Bruce Timm is rolling in money or something. That movie would require so much assets to make, oh my god...
I love you watchtower database team!
Justice League: Night of the Assassins, Justice League: Orphan's Song, Batman: Night of A Thousand Ninjas, Batman: Prelude To. Destruction, Justice League: Mistress of Mayhem, Justice League: Chaos of Caine, Justice League: Fight Night, Batman: Ninja Storm, Batman: City Under Seige, if you can figure out a way to work Joker into the story then call it Batman: Ninjas (Assasins) on Parade
I didn’t think he actually wasn’t wearing clothes
"That lady's trying to kill me!" sounds too verbose and emotional for Cassandra. I'm used to the version who barely talks lol. But she's my favorite non-Batman character, so I'd watch this movie.
I would totally watch this. As for a title Justice League Unlimited: Question Everything.
Hey guess who got his youtube account back, this guy!
Two things:
First, ARGUS in the arrowverse was not primarily tasked in dealing with the league of assasins. They handled a whole breadth of international affairs and while they knew knew about the league, they never even interacted with them.
Second, Deadman didn't kill Devilray in revenge. It was an accident. He was trying to save Wonder Woman.
Wow; bravo WTDB! 👏 Leave it to you guys to make a mountain out of a mole hill and yet make it this compelling. I'd definitely be down for this as an animated Batman feature film. Top marks!
Now I was thinking of a What If
This Story Should Be Made Into A Two/Three/Multi-Part Animated Movie Minus Anything Related To The DC Animated Universe
Nice!
At 40:55, is that a slip up referring to them as the "League (not Society) of Shadows" or has Ra's organization changed its name in this? If it's the former, that's totally cool, I do it all the time when talking about the DCAU incarnation and always have to correct myself.
I think it totally was, haha
I love the story pitch! It reminds me a lot of the "Red Robin Collision" story arch, especially the last half of the story where Ra's Al Ghul sends ninja assassins all over Gotham to kill everyone Batman ever loved.
I personally love that story arc, though we didn't intentionally go into this idea intending to reference that one.
Or Batman issue 700
This video is fantastic
This movie concept is so good I want to listen again! Fantastic! I hope WB picks it up!
Very entertaining pitch even I who isn't that knowledgeable of most of the character's involved. The info dump was enough. It's just that the story is kinda a little crowded with the cast and plot points. Instead of focusing on the batfamily vs the league of assassin's etc. it became more of Justice League affair. I could see it as a two parter but there has to be a cliff hanger on the middle.
So this needs to made into a minimum a legacies run
I always love to see Q being important again ;v;
Not saying I wanted to see James in the bathtub, but I’m not, not saying it
feeding the algorithm beast
This is my comment to feed the algorithm beast for he is ravenous
James: Alright I’m here, I’m clothed.
Me: *looks at shirt* GASP!
I’m here
I’m clothed
I’m Hush lol
I need to see this movie now.
I really never needed to hear *"a slice of that pie, ya know what I mean."* in the DCAU.
Ya know what I mean?
I suggest: JLU: The Shiva Conspiracy.
This needs to be a movie
James @ 2:47 - "cool as HECK"
James later in the video - "GODDAMMIT" "pornography"
🤬
Shiva appared also in Public Enemies
Yep!
Nemesis was a big character in the 80s nobody ever knows his name LOL
He was in “Justice League Unlimited” so we definitely do! 😁
I would like to see Lady Shiva in Batman The animated series
Do more videos like this
I like the backgrounds.
I would love to watch this movie as i immensely enjoyed this video.
Cheshire is also in Young Justice too.
Which isn't part of the same continuity as the DCAU
@@dcauwatchtower
So why did you mention Sportsmaater AND Tigress?
Stop being pedantic about it.
batman the mark of cain is a good title.
Wow i didn't know that
Shiva! Shiva means Cass and Cass means BTAS can be closer to perfect.
Not necessarily. I mean, Shiva was in Arkham Origins and there was no evidence that Cass existed.
Sure wouldn't say no to some DCAU Cass and Shiva though.
18:18 Shiva wasn’t in Lego Batman 2
I think he meant LEGO Batman 3
Well, I’m pretty sure she’s not in that either
@@gechoman44iwantahippo no she was, she was a dlc I believe in it
Batman and the Question of the Assassins
I love this story
I need to see this film. I am so sad. I need more Jeffery combs as the question. You also have a glowing green "reanimation" liquid... is that a reference. Jeffery combs plays herbert west. Someone else who uses a glowy green liquid.
We’re off to see the Snyder, the Wonderful Snyder Cut.
I would call the movie JL Nanda Parbat war/Secrets of Nada Parbat or JL secret assassins/assassin war . One of those four.
Dang, why can’t this be real?
Batman and The Orphan of Shadows
Batman: The Ladies Question
I liked it. I'd watch that movie maybe even buy a copy.
Lady Shiva is Hush lol
"Mark of Cain" is already used. (Too much imo.)
"Daughter of Destruction" does have a ring to it but gives the impression that Cassandra will follow in mommy's or daddy's footsteps.
No, the title, if you're willing to accept outside sources, needs to feel like it's about Cassie but not discluding her heritage.
"Shadow of Cain" (......no)
I would say "rise of the batgirl" but you didn't go that route in the story.
"The shadow of the league" (.....meh)
Hey James, does your wife know that you recorded yourself in the bathtub, and if she does what was her reaction?
Hey Dusan, my wife operated the camera, and her reaction was one of hilarity.
Rubber ducky your the one, can't find you when James gets done.....😮
Someone fucking animate this right now
How can you say the f word and not get censored but I can’t say a word that starts with K & ends with two ls
Question: is Rip related to Mick?
I can only hope so
Hello there
Pretty sure Bizzaro incinerates a good amount of monks!!
I see notification I see who is it from I see it's a Batman video I click on it comments my distain for another Batman video I leave
Uh but it’s um I mean I don’t uh well um it’s just uhhhhhhhhh
Ah yes, all my fellow under 18s who just wanted to watch a cool video. Seriously tho
This video is annoying because the movie isn't out. Great work guys.
The movie doesn’t exist
@@dcauwatchtower really wish it Did
Bro everyone keeps asking who is she and no one has an actual response
