My only wish is for Matt Ryan to play Constantine again in the DCU. I don't care what people say, but you can't deny that whenever you read a comic panel with Constantine, you can't unhear Matt Ryan.
Too bad the bozos at DC/WB don’t even consider the clearly superior tv castings for their shitshow movies, I guarantee GG & Matt can play The Flash and Constantine better than Ezra Miller or anyone they cast
The two fingers he held up at 21:02 is the British version of holding up the middle finger in USA, traces back to medieval war time where the French would capture British long bowmen and cut off their string fingers, British archers used it as an insult thereafter.
Can we just acknowledge that this and the live-action universe started at the same time but the DCAMU had maintained a steady level of quality(except the animation budget of course) which in my opinion was a 5/10 at worst and 8/10 at best. But the one they were "pushing" crashed and burned. I actually like the DCEU but the studio should've let Zack finish his five movie story and reboot it with a more streamlined universe but they fucked it up
A small part of Alec Holland yearns to shed the Green and be human once again, but he's in denial. Destiny pulls back the curtain and shows Alec his true rotted form and shatters the last hope that he'll ever be human again. This puts him into a state of utmost despair, an emotional wavelength that is not suitable to put up a fight. So Swamp Thing crumbles for the time being as Alec comes to terms with his loss. Destiny could not defeat Swamp Thing, so he mentally defeated Alec, disrupting the connection between the human conduit and the Green.
I’m just dreading having to rewatch Apokolips War with them. That movie scarred me. Literally the ENTIRETY of the Justice League were met with the worst fates in that movie, even if Flash undid all of it
Fun fact: Jeremy Davies, the guy who voiced Ritchie Simpson in this movie, also played the live-action version of the character in the 2014 Constantine series alongside Matt Ryan. He also played John Deegan during the Elseworld crossover event in Arrowverse.
i don't know much about Etrigan from the comics, only his animated appearances, but i mean he IS a demon so i think Jason's hesitance to let him out is valid. but you're right he seems okay, so i like to imagine he became more heroic over time due to being bonded to Jason's soul. the "good guy"-ness sorta seeped into him. idk, can anybody who knows Etrigan in the comics debunk or validate this theory?
Comics Etrigan is one of the least evil demons in Hell (how much that's Jason's influence is debatable), but that's not much of an endorsement. He's still a violent, sadistic high-ranking demon who's had his own murderous schemes during his/Jason's long life. He does actually enjoy punishing other evildoers, that being the whole point of demons, so he's *usually* not hard to aim at the bad guys. You just have to remember his idea of punishment often involves burning people alive
Etrigan is probably my most favorite DC character ever. Created by Jack Kirby! DC needs to show more love to magic characters especially Etrigan since its been YEARS since he's had his own run.
I would be cool w more magic characters and lanterns... where tf have the lanterns been like I havent seen any of em in any media for a fat minute now :( n GL my fav but they always do him dirty in movies even the animated ones these days ;(
The "I have a butler" line goes alot deeper. How did Young Bruce Wayne deal with his trauma and suffering? He had Alferd, yes his butler but also basically his father someone who instilled the sense of right and wrong in a young tormented Bruce Wayne.
@@ger.baltavThe episode where Ray leaves, Nate tells the legends his plan while the characters act out what he’s saying. Constantine comes out of nowhere yelling “YAMBO JUMBO MUMBO JUMBO” while shaking his entire body around, it’s absolutely hilarious 😂 LoT 5x07 if u want the episode number
Swamp thing is an entity, Alec Holland was just the avatar it was currently using. The entity itself just left the fight when Alec’s body was removed from the avatar.
Superman isn't weak to magic. He's just not invulnerable to it. It doesn't weaken him like kryptonite does, but he can't tank it. It will have on him almost the same effect as to any normal human.
Ive stayed away from most reactions of things i have yet to watch myself but to be honest ill probably never get to them anyways so i might as well watch along with yall. glad i chose this one to start with!
I feel if you turn around and suddenly someone's a horrific monster in gotham you'd be less likely to attack or panic simply because that kind of thing happens so often there due to the supervillains. In metropolis or other places you get this panicked killing in Gotham it'd be more "Hey Steve you've gone all tentacally. That's a new one." Meanwhile Steve quietly fiddles with his image generator "stupid clorfor pile of junk, really Mike come on lets go to the pub must be a super villain around here somewhere."
Little misconception that I also had until I was corrected. Superman isn't weak to magic he just has no defense against it. Superman isn't weak to magic like how a vampire is weak to sunlight. Its just Superman can take all forms of punishment and be fine. He can throw a planet, but basic forms of magic can affect him. If Superman was flying at Darkseid he would have blown straight through him but magic was able to stop his flight. So magic isn't a weakness persay he just isn't invulnerable to it
Has the crew watched Justice Leauge/ Justice Leauge Unlimited? Bc I thought they knew about Etrigan already. Either way it'd be cool if they ever watch it on the channel.
I can see him giving us a JL Dark movie. If there’s one thing he can do, it’s making team movies. It probably won’t be until further down the line though
Jason AND Etrigan are voiced by Ray Chase, who’s been in plenty of games and anime over the years. I believe he’s in Demon Slayer, but I mostly know him as the Master of Masters from the Kingdom Hearts games.
Can't wait till the end....I watched these soooo out of order. Apokolips was like the 2nd or 3rd one I watched....lol. Eventually I watched them all but like....well just can't wait because I thought it was very awesome
The part that gets me in this is Batman denying magic exists when he CLEARLY knew it did because he knew Constantine and because there were clear examples of it in the league. So he chose to be an ass to everyone despite knowing he was wrong and refused to keep them updated on the situation which inevitably led to them making things worse in the end. It makes me laugh everytime that a massive amount of the problem could’ve been solved if Batman wasn’t a tool at that meeting and communicated better.
I don't think he was denying Magic exists at the beginning so much as Denying that it was the cause of the madness and not just people making excuses for their madness so he he deals with Crazies on the regular Though his interaction with Zatanna does put a small pin in that theory
I LOVE Keanu in general but Matt Ryan IS Constantine he was perfect casting shame they couldn’t bring him to Sandman for the pouch episode. Batman didn’t do much but he was great in every delivery. I also love the Faust way he said “ Who Dares?! “ when Etragan crashed through the sealing.
Raw Rider Patrons can watch the Full Length Reaction HERE: blindwavellc.com/justice-league-dark-movie-full/
Matt Ryan is to Constantine what Kevin Conroy is to Batman. Iconic. And glad to see more DCAMU movies getting covered at a quicker pace.
ngl I can't help but hear his Edward Kenway too. Man just has an awesome voice.
@@Lucifer_Crowe oh that’s awesome I can’t believe I didn’t catch that. Loved those games as a kid.
@@Lucifer_Crowe"Steady, lads!"
Kevin Conroy didn’t play Batman.
@@mjsimunovich013 actually Kevin Conroy did play a version of live action Batman
Feel spoiled by getting two DC animated films so close together, and im not complaining
We deserve this after not getting a Dcamu film for a year
My only wish is for Matt Ryan to play Constantine again in the DCU. I don't care what people say, but you can't deny that whenever you read a comic panel with Constantine, you can't unhear Matt Ryan.
Agreed, he both looks and sounds the part. Perfect casting.
Personally I hear Taron Egerton after listening to the Sandman audioplays
@@jameshughes7946 I forgot he voiced Constantine in that one. If Matt Ryan isn't coming back, then Taron is also welcome.
Too bad the bozos at DC/WB don’t even consider the clearly superior tv castings for their shitshow movies, I guarantee GG & Matt can play The Flash and Constantine better than Ezra Miller or anyone they cast
Just have his name pronounced properly.
It's been almost 7 years since Eric and Aaron reacted to the trailer for this movie
If etrigan, the demon is good, wouldn't he be etrigan, the angel?
@@arya-x7x Think it's more of a species thing.

YES!!! The DCAMU continues.
Dcu ?
@@frostyt6458DC animated movie universe

I actually like the DCEU but the studio should've let Zack finish his five movie story and reboot it with a more streamlined universe but they fucked it up
Ik right finally!
About time
Justice League Dark is a kind of branch group of the Justice League. They are the ones that deal with supernatural and mystical threats.
A small part of Alec Holland yearns to shed the Green and be human once again, but he's in denial. Destiny pulls back the curtain and shows Alec his true rotted form and shatters the last hope that he'll ever be human again. This puts him into a state of utmost despair, an emotional wavelength that is not suitable to put up a fight. So Swamp Thing crumbles for the time being as Alec comes to terms with his loss. Destiny could not defeat Swamp Thing, so he mentally defeated Alec, disrupting the connection between the human conduit and the Green.
Yup. The nasty power of a DC sorcerer super villain. They beat Gods the exact same way.
"I have a butler." That gets me every effing time. 😂
Finally, DCAMU continues! Reel Rejects are almost done theirs.
I’m just dreading having to rewatch Apokolips War with them. That movie scarred me. Literally the ENTIRETY of the Justice League were met with the worst fates in that movie, even if Flash undid all of it
I don't know if you guys caught it, since most of his dialogue has a filter over it, but Destiny was voiced by Alfred Molina
As soon as the guy said "It got them, just like it did my neighbors" that was the stomach clenching moment.
Fun fact: Jeremy Davies, the guy who voiced Ritchie Simpson in this movie, also played the live-action version of the character in the 2014 Constantine series alongside Matt Ryan. He also played John Deegan during the Elseworld crossover event in Arrowverse.
Matt Ryan is Constantine. I know he voices the main character of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, and it's so getting used to
This movie was a good way to bring magic into DCAU,Etrigan and Deadman are really cool,I felt bad for Swamp Thing ;(
*DCAMU
"I have a butler" - fav Batman responses

But in the new 52 he is such a asshole, what he do with jason is beyond of cruelty (not complaining he is a demon after all)
(At 7:35) The demon Etrigan, the little half brother of Merlin The sorcerer and grandson of Trigon.
So yeah he MIGHT be related to Raven.
zatana is totally one of the most underrated DC characters, but not by the fandom for dc itself they just ignore her
The "I have a butler" line goes alot deeper. How did Young Bruce Wayne deal with his trauma and suffering? He had Alferd, yes his butler but also basically his father someone who instilled the sense of right and wrong in a young tormented Bruce Wayne.
10:00 still the funniest joke in the entire Arrowverse
Can you help me refresh my memory?Is it a Mic line?

CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THEY REACT TO JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK APOKOLIPS WAR!
Can't wait for the Apokolips War reaction.
Justice League Dark is so good.
Ive stayed away from most reactions of things i have yet to watch myself but to be honest ill probably never get to them anyways so i might as well watch along with yall. glad i chose this one to start with!
"I have a butler..."
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This movie has great Batman lines
They always have to find someway to nerf Zatanna because she’s too powerful lol
Andy Serkis is in all 3. He’s Snoke in Star Wars, Klaue in Marvel and Alfred in DC
4:18 batman being handed a fresh new robin
i know it was a dark joke, couldnt help myself hhaha

When you resist everything else, anything that can hurt you is a weakness, hate when people argue over semantics.
@@Samael2824 I was gonna put that at the end of the comment. But people Think Magic is like Kryptonite to him when its not.
10:31 “It’s Moses from South Park.”
I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE ERIC AND IT WAS BRILLIANT!!!!!
The DCAMU is incredible, good to see another reaction video to one of them
17:23 I would assume he has had similar situations with his villains like clayface when trying to see what might bring them down like electricity
HOPING THAT WE GET A LIVE ACTION JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK MOVIE SOMEDAY!
The area of Gotham in Batman Begins is known as The Narrows
Awesome more DCAMU! This one is one of my favorites! Etrigan/jason getting the love he deserves!
You guys should totally watch Justice League dark apokolips war. Super great movie, balls to the wall insane.
Damn i assumed we would have to wait a couple of months for this one
Has the crew watched Justice Leauge/ Justice Leauge Unlimited? Bc I thought they knew about Etrigan already. Either way it'd be cool if they ever watch it on the channel.
Hey, guys! Any plans on doing The Dark Knight Returns parts 1 and 2?
Yes please 🙏
I hope so. It’s easily in my Top 5 DC animated films. I got chills watching it after reading the comic.
I really hope they do Mask of the Phantasm.
@@sofiyanali2489Mask of the Phantasm is absolutely timeless. It’s up there with the Spider verse movies
7 films left in the DCAMU. Cant wait to see the rest of the reactions. And hopefully sooner rather than later, haha!
Especially for apokolips war, can't wait to see which of these guys craps themselves first
This is my favourite of the DCAMU movies! So, happy for this reaction!
Especially love that Constantine is voiced by Matt Ryan.
If we ever get Zatanna in live action my dream casting would be Alexandra Daddario from The White Lotus.
You're not gonna like who's being eyed to play her.
@@TheGundamsword Who
@@Agent-57 don't remember her name. But it's basically Little Mermaid treatment.
pretty gal, but poor acting chops
@@TheGundamswordZatanna is literally Italian. That’s disappointing.
Constantine is voiced by Edward Kenway, lmao. Every now and then i can only hear edward
NeedleMouse Productions did a video translating Zatanna's Spells, and it seems like the giant sword she summons is meant to belong to Hades.
I really want them to watch the next part of this series!!!
Batman holding the recently orphan baby like “sweet! Free Robin!”
Provably one of my fav DCAM
Constantine and Etrigan are my favorites I hope Gunn can show Us them really good in live action version
I can see him giving us a JL Dark movie. If there’s one thing he can do, it’s making team movies. It probably won’t be until further down the line though
@@kfactor20 I just hope I will live till this moment come 😅
Batman looking at that baby in the beginning like "hello there.......Robin"
4:21 Batman: “Well… I guess I could use a new Robin”
"Thgis man has a ring that makes him float!"
Etrigan and Merlin are brother (half), sons of Belial (who is son of Trigon)
13:25 my honest reaction when I saw the character line up for this movie
Love that they're finally continuing the DCAMU. Keep going! and then Tomorrowverse!
We just gotta get through Apokolips War first 😬
Jason AND Etrigan are voiced by Ray Chase, who’s been in plenty of games and anime over the years. I believe he’s in Demon Slayer, but I mostly know him as the Master of Masters from the Kingdom Hearts games.
the best superhero movie series ever and this is one of the best entries they have made I love it!
Batman, zatanna, constantine are underrated trio
CAMILLA LUDDINGTON AKA LARA CROFT VOICED ZATANNA!
I am here to support John and Zatanna 😂
Nah John and King Shark for me all the way, hahahaha.
@@TheCherrykyeno, that is just a joke thing
@@Needler13 I know it was, doesn’t make it any less funny.
Feels like it’s been forever
This one was soo good, I really hope you guys do Apokolips War, I LOVE that one soo much. And its R too and suuuper dark.
Love more Constantine Matt Ryan is perfectly cast for him love it he’s played him in live action & animated
The guy who voices Ritchie is Jeremy Davies. He also voices Baldur in God of War.
That part of Gotham is the narrows.
Batman as the straight man is never not going to be hilarious
David Harbour's Hell boy is severely underrated. People just can't look past it's not a sequel
Probably my favorite DC movie.
The look on Batman's face when even he noticed he was so close to being brain mater on Superman's fist.
Can't wait till the end....I watched these soooo out of order. Apokolips was like the 2nd or 3rd one I watched....lol. Eventually I watched them all but like....well just can't wait because I thought it was very awesome
Please patreon members, try suggesting Studio Ghibli movies so that Blind Wave can start crying every Friday(where I’m from).😂
that is not going hapen they get soo copyright claimed it will cost they channel there is the reason why no 1 reacting to them lol
This is the one I've been waiting for.
Demon Batman, such a cool design.
4:17 Batman is thinking she’s dead I guess your my new Robin when Damien gets too old
«Batman can’t stop this shit” - iconic
I can’t wait until they get to Apokolips War, that movie is insane.
JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait til they get to Justice League Dark Apocalypse 😏
justice league dark is definitely top 2 in the DCAMU
Well now I've got to ask. What's your top 1?
Yeah what is your top one? My top one is probably the other Constantine movie with this one being 2nd
Finally I’ve been waiting on y’all to watch these!!!

"I have a butler" lol
31:37 Zatanna Saves Batman

I really like this movie, mainly because the way they use Batman's deadpan reactions to the weird ass stuff going on

How about a reaction to WEIRD THE AL YANKOVIC STORY? Its amazing. One of the funniest movies that I've seen in a long time. 🤞✌️
4:14 New Robin just dropped
I was thinking the same thing.
Can't wait for some more DCAMU
