    P.S. I have no idea what happened at 25:36 but I can’t get it to not export like that so have fun (Also, yes, “Justice League” is supposed to be in white font, not yellow)

      I like getting some precontext to the stuff I watch. Someone else has connected the dots for me and it helps me find new stuff to kill some free time with. Im probably gonna re-watch brave and the bold/watch it linearly for the first time.
      Sometimes I try not to watch every show.
      I rather be on TH-cam and learn about other shows so when I'm truly bored I can pick a random show to watch. So I really appreciate this channel doing what it does. Have a nice day 💫🤘

      @@slik_sean6346 I don't know what you're talking about. Do you mean the episode Epilogue? It has nothing to do with Return of the Joker. Ms. Martian takes Tim's form in JL vs the Fatal Five which means he's still active. Harley also appears in that movie which means the flashback scenes in Return of the Joker can't have taken place yet. This is why it shouldn't be canon, because it fits so poorly into the rest of the canon. Tim goes missing for weeks, Batman has dozens of heroes he could call on to help him but he doesn't call any of them. Like dude, I'm pretty sure one of your magic friends or Flash or Superman could find Tim pretty quickly. Tim was also a member of some version of the Titans bit none of them seen to care about their teammate going missing. Instead he calls on Barbara who hasn't even been active as Batgirl since the New Batman Adventures. The last time we saw her she hung up her cape and went off to school in Mystery of The Batwoman so it seems highly unlikely that the whole scenario could have played out the way it did. It just makes no sense in the larger canon.

    I’d just like to add something: I own, right now, a BtAS interactive (you could push buttons to add sound effects) children’s book with four separate short stories written just like the episodes - and in the Timm BtAS art style.
    1) A Riddler story about him abducting a kid (and rigging him with explosives!). This one has actual detective work and riddles.
    2) A Mr. Freeze story about Mr. Freeze bringing a new ice age to Gotham City in order to bring Ice Age animals (like the mammoth and sabre-tooth) back to life.
    3) A Mad Hatter story about him trying to take control of Gotham City with hats and gas. Alice is mind-controlled in this one.
    4) A Penguin story involving the Penguin stealing some cat statue that Catwoman was obviously interested in. (I remember very little about this one)

    Funnily enough, I think the Gorilla Grodd episodes were some of the only JL episodes I DID have on tape. I think Cartoon Network had a Justice League marathon once, so I just filled up a tape with as many episodes as I could.
    Also, Zeta fans are even worse off in Australia. We still haven't got a DVD release here! It and Static Shock are the only two DCAU shows we can't get. A few years ago they finally released Batman Beyond on Blu-Ray here, so I thought that maybe we'd finally get Zeta, but nope! 😣That show was my first experience with the pain of having a beloved show cancelled.

    Just for fun: here in brazil, the dcau shows as been reprized so many times, that they became classics for 90s and early 2000s kids. and static shock is a phenomenon, so much that, after batman, it's the dcau favorite super hero for many people.

    I know it's a big ask, as it's sure to be a tedious endeavor to play them, but I think it would make for a great video if you went through all the DCAU flash games and try to will 'em (dafoe) canon. If those BK comics can be canon, slag it, so can these!
