What A Cartoon! - Justice League "Injustice For All Part 2"
🕑 Added 2020-05-18 04:00:02 +0000 UTCChosen by our premium patron Jibbly, it's time to return to the DC Animated Universe with Justice League! The 2001 toon made the Superfriends cool for the first time ever, and set ratings records for Cartoon Network. How did Bruce Timm's team grow to handle a bigger series and expanded the DC stories they had already told? We talk about that and the second half of the season one classic, Injustice For All! Listen now or else Lex Luthor has won already!

Mr. President
I would love it if you did a weekly DCAU podcast

The talk about how Superman is a little inconsistent in the first season, as well as some in-universe weirdness you just have to ignore with powers but it ultimately not mattering that much for how good these shows are (and the mention of how Carl Lumbly appeared on Supergirl as J'onnz's dad) made me wanna pop in to say a little bit about the Arrowverse. I've been a big fan of it since early into the Flash and am still a regular viewer of most of it, especially Supergirl, and I think a lot of why I like the shows and their interconnected nature is why I like the DCAU as well. There may be problems and narrative inconsistencies but ultimately, both universes seem to fundamentally understand their characters (with some dips here and there) and bring the vibrant fun of the comics to life on the big screen. Obviously there's a lot MORE of the Arrowverse at this point, given that the shows are hour long and there's more than the 5-ish of the DCAU, so I get why people may not want to get into them, but with the DCAU gone and WB/DC seemingly uninterested in doing more with it, I'm glad to have another good connected universe of DC heroes on TV.
