"The Adventures of Batman & Robin" for the Sega CD featured animated cutscenes dubbed the Lost Episode of "Batman: The Animated Series." But do they actually work in continuity with the cartoon? And if so...when do I pause my latest BTAS binge to, uh, play a video game?

Can’t wait for the next episode. It’s gonna be fire! 🔥
Please, Rise of Sin Tzu
@@MisterM591 I don’t believe that one is canon. Maybe alternate dimension?
The contrast between James suffering through the gameplay and calmly explaining the story is so hilarious 😂
I remember when I was younger and saw clips of these cutscenes and thought it was an actual episode and drove myself crazy looking for it. I couldn’t believe it when I found out it was a video game 😂😂
How dare you say this isn’t an actual episode smh
Dude don’t you know games be base on movies and shows
Sounds like a lie tbh
That has happened to me before.. there's a Tenchi game for... I think Sega CD... that I've never been able to track down, no matter how I scour lists of Tenchi games, but I remember seeing unique footage animated just for that.
11:55 “Alfred, move the fan a little to the left. I want my cape to flow in the wind just right.” “Yes, master Bruce.”
You had to mention it, and now I really want a “Will It Canon” on Superman 64. Understandable if you don’t want to put yourself through that.
We all want it! That game being part of the canon could be the only thing making it worth even watching gameplay of, let alone actually playing.
It probably could be canon because, as far as I know, it doesn't mess with the continuity in any way, especially since the game is all set in a simulation.
It definitely takes place before Justice League, that's for sure.
I asked Kevin Altieri about this game and he told me that he had a lot of freedom in his section (Clayface on the boat)
Apparently very little of the action was in the script, so he got to come up with ways of demonstrating Clayface’s powers. The part where Batman shoots Clayface with an anti-air cannon is 100% something I can see Kevin coming up with. Shocking. Violent. Explosive. And it involves aircraft. All hallmarks of Kevin’s work!
Haha that's awesome!
@@dcauwatchtower I’ve asked him to track down the storyboards. I’ll let you know if he can find them
You rock
The Penguin deleted scenes ones from "Batman Animated" are so fun
@@SerumLakewe really a book about the history of the entire dcau
Now For Will It Canon? Of Batman: Vengeance, Batman: The Rise Of Sin Tzu & Of Course SUPERMAN 64
Yes
Batman vengeance is just what I was thinking
Yes on Rise of Sin Tzu PLZZZZ
Seconded!
Weren't there a couple of Justice League games too?
The bit w/ James going up the ramp only to crash down onto the same obstacle he took the ramp to avoid was such a quintessential old video game frustration moment.
Re: Fantasia being Mickey "murdering the f*ck out of a broom ", I've never thought of it that way but...wow I can't not think of it that way now
That's the first time I ever saw that clip and my first thought was "damn, that's some Patrick Bateman-type shit💀"
Thank you for not destroying the Sega CD case. I was anxious the entire video.
Would love to see "Will It Canon" on Batman's non-DCAU crossovers like Scooby-Doo and Guess Who, Brave and the Bold, Freakazoid, Animaniacs, Teen Titans Go, Cartoon Network/Kids WB promos, etc.
all the small stuff that used/referenced the DCAU artstyle(s)
Need to know if Batman singing The Jigglypuff song is canon compliant.
Small bit of info, there IS wind in the Batcave! Bats have to have ways in and out of the cave, so there are entrances to the caves besides the ones Batman uses and wind will blow thru these openings because caves "breathe". It's a known phenomenon.
Yeah, I've experienced cave wind and drafts personally, and I don't exactly have extensive experience with caves. It can also be pretty localized, so I have no problem seeing most of the batcave having consistently minimal airflow and some specific parts getting a pretty good draft going at certain times. Batman's a borderline implausibly smart guy after all, he'd certainly have the expert level cave aerodynamics knowledge and foresight to plan his batcave infrastructure around where wind would and would not be present.
How appropriate that this video came out the same day as the trailer for the new Bruce Timm Batman show.
It was supposed to come out weeks ago 😅 Show ya friendz!
13:38 there was a missed opportunity to call him Rootbeard
“Robert Costanzo as Detective Bullock” *get up on the hydra’s back intensifies*
12:04 bats just mounted a fan in the bat cave so he can be dramatic when he wants 😂 change my mind
This sponsor segment might be my favorite on TH-cam ever. It made feel like i was watching old Cartoon Network again with those character bumbers
Now I gotta see a 'Will it Canon?' for Batman: Vengance
3:35 I love how you keep track of the lore of what happens in each episode
ngl if i gave this a title i’d prolly call it “i drove all knight” due to what you do in this game
also worth noting batman’s a lot more exponentially pissed here, like he also had to struggle with gotham’s traffic system + trees + VR doodah
This kills me because on a technical side, I truly believe that the animated sequences in this game are some of, if not the most beautiful ever made for BTAS : the characters are beautifully drawn, it's very dynamic, the work on shadows and lighting is sophisticated... Yet, we'll probably never be able to see this in an uncompressed format.
I noticed that the lost episode is far more violent than the TV series as:
1) the TV series wouldn't show Batman hitting an opponent directly in the face,instead the punch would be replaced with a red or white flash
2) The riddler is violently electrocuted which wouldn't get pass Fox censors
3) Joker and Batman duking it out brutally to the point Joker loses a few teeth
"Move out of my way I'M BATMAN!" got me cry laughing :'D
Officer, I swear, that tree jumped right out in front of me
Honestly, seeing how the animation quality for the scenes in the game were still as good as BTAS is fantastic. The artwork has always been stellar for this sort of stuff.
11:51 He is in a natural cave. One with enough air flow not to need machines pumping in O2. So, yes, there is "wind" in the Bat Cave.
This was the first video from you guys I caught early on Patreon but I had to come back to watch it again for the official release because you knock it out of the park every time
🙏🙏🙏
Batman Vengeance and Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu needs to be discussed on this series! 🙏🏻
I literally have never clicked on a notification faster in my life
6:57 yes we all saw that one epsisode of the Angery Video Game nerd.
Or The EFFING Nerd
@@somerandomfan2096 or the mother effing nerd!
Awesome new set-up, Willi certainly gets a nicer set than poor James!
I can't wait for the Will It Canon video to come out about Batman: Caped Crusader when the show releases 🦇
That show isn't canon to the dcau, it's completely seperate, being based on the old 1940s comics, set in that sort of time period as well
@@Vitafiend Yeah, even if limited to Harley Quinn, she has a completely different origin story, love interest and motivation, so not even a "viewed through a different lens" excuse will get you out of that one.
"Will It Canon?" is officially back and better than ever. I'm really digging the look of the series this time around.
Hope to see the other DCAU tie-in games be covered in future episodes.
Anyone else watching the cat waiting for it to move
Honestly the video quality of the game's cutscenes got more and more bearable through the video
Finally, now I know if (you know who) has canonically died an additional time in the DCAU. Thanks Watchtower Database, y'all are the real heroes.
P.S.: Only the yoppiest of dudes will understand the Bullock joke.
11:51
Bruce got a ceiling fan installed. It was getting a little musty and humid in the summer, y'know?
Let's do a Will it Canon for Spider-Man Unlimited and really confused people. Love ya James
This sounds like a wonderful idea
I chuckled at the dishonor joke because I happened to be wearing a shirt with that had that quote on it.
It's your own fault for putting the idea in my head. You should cover Superman 64
21:50 Orrrrr, he was nearly killed in Mudslide because he was already unstable and falling apart and the water just finished him off. In his prime he could probably tank the water even if it knocked him out of action for a bit.(In Mudslide he completely dissolves away into thin sludge, while here he's clearly just breaking into chunks, there's a lot more tangibility and thickness)
Heck you could argue this tip might have been the triggering factor for the mutagen degradation, the bad damage made him unstable.
That works fine. Riddler is just re-using old kit from the previous scheme since this is a collaboration and not a proper Riddler plan(hence Batman deals with it way easier), Clayface is in his prime and hasn't started violently degrading yet(though perhaps his dip at the end helped set that off), Ivy is still mostly human and not a plant clone yet. Thorne being out of town for weeks just clarifies this isn't right next to The Man Who Killed Batman.
13:44 RootFace is a plant-tastic name! #RootFaceForever
I love seeing you get the Big Bad Toy Store sponsorship!!!! I love their site!!! Makes me wanna support them more because they supported you!!!
It always suprises me how much there is out there in the most unlikely places. The dcau is my favorite universe.
I appreciate the "it doesn't matter" bits at the start and end of the video. Past Will It Canon's always had this unintentional feel of authoritativeness that always felt weird when it comes to what's essentially theory discussion.
Would love to see a WIC on the later Adventures Continue season/comics if you havent done them already!
I love the new intro
These videos are always so well produced, entertaining and informative. Thanks!
Thank YOU!
I love will in canon. Would love to see you go over the JLU and JL Infinity comics as those would have major implications if canon
Its the BTAS version of the Long Halloween.. Would love if this "lost episode" could get a remastered version with Shirly Walker music.
A whole video that mentions my man Riddles is always a good time!
Good job with the first thing PROVED CANON on the show I'm proud of you
Wasn't Fatal Five proven canon?
He said in the video it is the first
Great episode, James! I heard about this game back in the day, but since I didn't own the system, I couldn't play it. I had no idea it fit into continuity so well. I'd love to keep the theme running with a "will it canon“ for the batman vengeance game. This was on the gamecube (not sure if it was on any other consoles), and it was a fucking blast! It had all the voice actors from the show, only a few annoying driving stages, and a really engrossing story. Easily one of the most fun games I ever played on the gamecube. And I'd love to hear your take on it.
Tanned?
John Cena: Are you sure about that?
Hey, I'm quoting Joker 😅
The king returns! And with remarkably higher production values! This was such a blast to watch and digest, I hope we’re able to get many more WICs! My own personal pick would be to see if Green Lantern TAS could potentially fit anywhere, not just the DCAU
I remember discovering "The Lost episode" on YT and thinking it looked so cool. I wanted to know more about it with little little info out there. Now we all have this wonderful video!
Great job guys, you can tell how much effort went into this. 🙂💛
The production quality and effort is on point here.
11:47 his cape blows becuase he's the god damn batman
If he wants it to blow... IT BLOWS GOD DAMN IT!!!!!!
Always love the ones that get into BTAS timeline stuff
Gotham water is the perfect mcguffin! What cant it do?!
Why there still isn't a master cut/remaster of these cutscenes is a mystery to me
I recall watching these clips on TH-cam when I was a kid and thinking they were pretty cool
That wasn't a gatling gun. It looks like a Browning model 1919
This is why I love this channel. So many creative deep dives on even the most obscure if stuff with very entertaining presentation. As for the qotd. I'm gonna be boring and say I'd love to see you guys.Cover the other batman games That were "in the animated universe"
Honestly, I’d like either a WIC for the Kids WB Interstitials featuring Batman Beyond and Pokémon, or Green Lantern the Animated Series.
Anyhow great video, welcome back Will, and stay yoppy.
You guys have been putting out great content, keep it up!
The Batmobile has rockets, racing with a timer from Riddler, the villain kidnaps people important to Batman. I think I know where Rocksteady got the inspiration for Arkham Knight
This was a fantastic vid. Absolutely loved the editing and the bits. It was awesome. Fantastic work mate :D
Great video, as always!
Great video! Most consistent yt channel out there fr
Great episode!! Love the new intro🎉
New intro looks awesome.
This editing is top notch as always, love this channel! Never stop doing the Will It Cannon series 😂
1:41 Technically it's the modem that determines the download speed so it doesn't matter how powerful the Bat-Computer is anyway. Though I am sure Bruce rigged up a Bat-Modem too (apparently the DCAU version of Lucius Fox isn't the one making Batman's stuff? ).
❌ Will it Cannon - The animated series lost episode
✅ James Let’s playing The adventures of Batman & Robin for the Sega CD
So impressed with the quality of this video! I thought it couldnt get better yet u guys outdid yourselves! Keep up the good work and know it doesnt go unnoticed! Cheers
This is my new favorite Batman video game because it has my babygirl BTAS Riddler
I maintain something I mentioned some time ago: you should do a video on Gotham Girls. Granted, I assume it's going to canon, but trying to figure out where in the timeline could be interesting. But aside from that, there's also Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu, which I don't remember you covering, at least. It would fit alongside this one as the whole original video game story and its possible canonicity. Maybe Superman 64, as well, but maybe not, because that would be torture to have to play again.
i've been watching through B:TAS for the first time recently and just watched Mudslide this morning before the episode came out. Good timing!
I’d love to see a will it canon for some of those DCAU related shorts that came out a few years back, and the one Batman Beyond one with all the cyborg batmen.
I love all of the podcast references, especially the “Jump on the Hydra’s Back” remix when my man Bullock was on screen! To answer your question, you should fulfill your joke promise and see if the RBAU (patent pending) will fit in!
My dream will it Canon episode is the 2000s legion of super heroes show. I feel it can work in Canon, but I'd love a second opinion.
I don't think it fits with the DCAU, but I heard it can fit in with Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
Either way, not that fond of the show, especially since it did not end well.
it's pretty stupid, but It'd be funny to see a "Will it Cannon?" The crossover comics with the justice league and subway
17:43 Kind of reminds me of Egg Bouncer from Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Also known as "Flying Eggman" in its appearances in Sonic 4: Episode I and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.
Great job on the video! Love the channel
Batman Vengence for the PS2, Will it cannon?
Incredible episode that was totally worth the wait! The new set is gorgeous and the effort in the effects exceeded all my expectations. The script, as always, was top notch. I have been showing all my friends this criminally undersubscribed channel. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much 🥲
Another great video as usual!
I really like how you do your ads and I never say that. “Daniel Mockbridge is walking into a trap” 😂
My personal favorite of the dozens of great jokes/references is the cut to "Draw that man in a chicken suit!" Had me genuinely cracking up
Great video! For the next WIC, maybe take a look at the Infinite Crisis movies since supposedly they bring in the characters of the DCAU. That's honestly all I could think of off the rop of my head, hahaha. Either way, keep up the good work!
Ngl that might be my favorite ad break in a video ever🤣
Actually I as intern at Wayne Tech, I helped install a giant fan in the Batcave so his cape can wave dramatically
Dearest James,
With everything being a multiverse, everything will canon.
- Your favorite TMNT & Transformers TH-camr
This is a doubly fun video as someone who’s been binging Jump on the Bat-wagon. Good to hear Brother Broderick make an appearance.
Another fantastic video!! To answer the question of the day, in the same vain as this video, I would love to see a Will it Canon for the 2001 Batman: Vengeance video game. Looking forward to the next video!
I'd love to see a Will it Canon deep dive on the DCAU comics, could cover multiple runs and storyline in one episode
I really appreciate the message that a story's canon status is inconsequential to the actual quality or importance of the story. I think my favorite line on this subject was from Alan Moore's "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow", an out of continuity Superman story:
"This is an imaginary story... aren't they all?"
Please do a video on the dcu we never had. Like the Kraft macaroni and cheese JLA or adventures in the DCUniverse! Great episode gang!!!
That's on the list!
Wait, I haven't finished the video but Turtles of Grayskull and a Transformer Turtle Van? Sponsorship successful!
Seriously, you guys went hard on that blurb, Big Bad Toy Store should be proud.
8:51 Get up on the hydra's back theme, yesss! Ok, continue watching now..
i know this is an easy answer bc you put it onscreen but i actually loved the krypto the superdog as a kid, and it'd be cool to see you do a will it canon on it
for things that aren't onscreen, there's the legion of superheroes cartoon i guess? i'd be curious to see how the shook out, i doubt it fits but i'd love to see what the sticking points are
The intro is slappin!
