Okay but I would give my left kidney and my firstborn child to see a tv show about JLU Question and Huntress
I mean imagine: sleep-deprived Vic doing his best to organize a surprise birthday party for Helena (because that's what boyfriends do) while doing his best to solve an ancient riddle to stop the Antichrist from ruling the Earth? Question absolutely not giving a damn about the rules and sneaking Huntress into the Watchtower? Question being cornered in some dark alley by some villains he crossed and them getting beaten to pulp by his protective girlfriend? Uncovering some huge conspiracy while dealing with renovation of their first shared apartment?
I would watch the hell out of it

R.I.P. Kevin Conroy 
Actor and voice actor Kevin Conroy passed away today (11/11/22) at age 66 following a battle with cancer. Although he’s played many roles over the years, he’s undoubtedly most known as the iconic voice of BATMAN/BRUCE WAYNE across multiple media. 
The gifs shown here are just some of the MANY incarnations/reprisals of Batman/Bruce Wayne he portrayed. He began with Batman: The Animated Series in 1992. What followed was 30 years of the gay actor serving as the most-used and most-beloved incarnation of Batman for a whole generation.

you notice how in every adaptation where hawkgirl is explicitly non-white, she's paired up with hawkman (ALWAYS carter hall), but everytime 'hawkgirl' is with john stewart, she's always white?
what a very funny and strange pattern, hello? 😭

What's your favorite fandom crossover, if you like that sort of thing?
I like chaotic ones which mash fandoms against eachoter like kids mixing playdoh together trying to make prity colors.
Hi, @clairaworlds !!
I'm assuming you're referring to show crossovers. If I'm wrong then please correct me. I don't know if I'd ever write it but I do think they're interesting to talk about. I think the first fandom crossover I every actually thought about and out was DCAU x MCU. 😂
Also, a She Ra and ATLA crossover sounds like a lot of fun to me. The teams would be hilarious to watch talking to one another I'm just saying. I imagine it would be ATLA season 2 and She Ra post season 5 for maximum comedic effect.
And I don't know if they count because they're "technically" in the same universe but ATLA and TLOK had such potential and I want a comic of this where the two shows crossover. Everyone in ATLA's timeline, I just think it would be so funny for the Krew and the Gaang's kids, all adults, ready to protect this group of children and they're all master benders and strategists. This and a She Ra and He Man crossover (which has been done) are all things I would definitley watch/read 😁

Year of the Bat - Number 15
Welcome to Year of the Bat! In honor of Kevin Conroy, Arleen Sorkin, and Richard Moll, I’m counting down my Top 31 Favorite Episodes of “Batman: The Animated Series” throughout this January. We’ve officially entered the Top 15! TODAY’S EPISODE QUOTE: “Kids these days. No respect.” Number 15 is…Legends of the Dark Knight.
Tumblr media
One of the great things about many famous comic book characters is their adaptability. Some of these characters were created nearly a century ago; Batman, for example, first appeared in the late 1930s. (He actually turns 85 Years Old this very year!) Some characters that old who were popular then have, for one reason or another, not stood the test of time. Batman has, and part of this is because his creators found him easy to adapt and reconfigure as times changed. Bruce Wayne and his universe have been portrayed more seriously or more goofily over the decades, and have been made to appeal to adults and children alike time and time again. “Batman: The Animated Series” is widely considered the most definitive take on the Caped Crusader and his world specifically because the writers who worked on this show understood this, and had a deep love for ALL sides of Batman’s world. The show, therefore, hits a near-perfect balance, overall, between silly superhero shenanigans, and dark, complex, sometimes downright brutal storytelling.
“Legends of the Dark Knight” is an episode that exemplifies not only the skillful balance of tone the Animated Series managed for the majority of its run, but acts as a tribute to the long and storied history of Batman, and the adaptability of the character. The plot focuses on a group of random children, living in Gotham, all of whom are gossiping about the mysterious Dark Knight. Through their banter, they start to share stories and theories about what Batman is really like, all of which pay homage to different past incarnations of Batman. Some of these references are relatively brief; for example, a passing friend of theirs named “Joel,” and his bizarre, strangely effeminate fixations on Batman, are meant to be a joking reference to Joel Schumacher’s much maligned film versions of the character. Another case is one young man who makes insinuations of Batman being some monstrous vampire, a reference to the Elseworlds “Batman & Dracula Trilogy” written by Doug Moench.
The most notable of these homages, however, are two long sequences of the show, acting essentially as stories within a story. The first is a tribute the late Golden Age and the Silver Age of comics, as well as to the Adam West 1960s TV series. It features an original adventure, with Batman and Robin battling the Joker, when the Clown Prince of Crime tries to steal the original score of the opera “Pagliacci.” The second sequence is taken directly from the pages of Frank Miller’s somewhat controversial (but highly influential) masterwork, “The Dark Knight Returns.” This one adapts and combines two scenes from the graphic novel, where Batman faces the despicable Mutant Leader. I love both these sequences; it’s neat to see the way the animation style changes for each to match the decade and story style (I especially love how the first sequence so accurately captures the look of Dick Sprang’s famous aesthetics). Interestingly, they also bring in new voice actors to play the characters in each one; instead of Mark Hamill, for example, Michael McKean plays the 60s-era Joker. Meanwhile, Michael Ironside – who would later play the devilish Darkseid for the DCAU – voices Frank Miller’s Batman. Both are perfect casting.
The episode ends with the kids bearing witness to the real Batman – Conroy’s vocals and all – duking it out with the villainous Firefly. I used to love this episode a lot more, but upon revisiting it, I felt I had lost some love for it, and I think part of it is this final sequence. While I love the idea of the kids encountering the real Batman after all that, and I suppose such a thing was inevitable with a plot like this…something about it feels underwhelming after the spectacular sequences we saw earlier in the episode. It’s hard for me to say what the issue is, but I don’t think that was the intention, based on the way things are set up and described in-story. Still, it’s not necessarily a bad ending, for various and probably obvious reasons. It’s a great episode that showcases a different perspective (several different perspectives, in fact) on Batman and the City as a whole, and if you’re as much of a fan of the history of this character – and the duality of the Animated Series itself – as I am, you owe it to yourself to give this one a quick peek. That is, of course, presuming you haven’t already.

Tomorrow we move on to Number 14! Hint: “This used to be a beautiful street. Good people lived here once.”

Legends was such a messed up episode like imagine getting transported into an alternate universe where you find out your favorite superheroes are all real *and* you get to fight crime alongside them
but then it turns out they’ve all been dead for 40 years and the versions of them you met are just illusions created by a traumatized child with psychic powers and then you watch your favorite superheroes sacrifice themselves and this entire world that you know and love from your childhood comic books disappears before your eyes

JUSTICE LEAGUE IS AVAILABLE ON NETFLIX IN MY HOME COUNTRY
I live in Eastern Europe and I thought that it's never gonna happen yet here I am ugly crying (I am a grown ass, 26 years old woman with Master's degree in Psychology and a corporate job)
It is only 26 first episodes up to the 'Savage time" yet it is here and it is with my beloved Polish dubbing
IT'S STILL UNMATCHED IN QUALITY OF STORYTELLING AND SUBTLE HUMOR AND DYNAMICS BETWEEN CHARACTERS

Robin: Regina, I don’t quite get what you mean. All of the couples we know are not idiots. 
Regina: You just don’t know them well enough then!
Robin: Then do tell.
Regina: Gold bought an entire library for his wife, yet doesn’t know how to say ‘hey, can we have sex tonight?’ Even though they probably had sex before he bou-you know what, I don’t wanna think about it.
Robin: He’s just not used to being with someone. That doesn’t prove much.
Regina: Please. A guy with no face is too awkward to put the moves on a woman who’s clearly into him. They even kissed and part of him still thinks he’s in the friendzone.
Robin: Wait, how do they-nevermind. Still, two examples.
Regina: Get ready for a third then. We’ve got a space alien riding on a ship with an ai that’s in love with him. And they don’t know how to talk about their obvious feelings.
Robin: A space... Okay, but still-
Regina: Oh no, here’s the best one. You’ve got a captain on a time travel crew, right? And her third-in-command is her ‘best friend’. I don’t think I’ve ever seen two people flirt and have eye-sex in my life.
Robin: ... Except us.
Regina: ...
Robin: So, judging by the logic put on display here, we too would be idiots?
Regina: ... Oh fuck.

it took two decades for kendra saunders to finally recover from what bruce timm & dcau hawkgirl (shayera) did to the hawkgirl name. TWO DECADES! and even then, people are being dumb about the superman: legacy casting.
dc writers saw the only worthy storyline for kendra when she ever joined the justice league to only hook up with other jl men. they fridged kendra after her hawkgirl solo didn't do well in 2006 & brought back shiera as a redhead since comic shayera was dead + hated the hawkgirl name.
when kendra finally got casted in live-action in the cw, ciara got harassed by dcau stans for not being a redhead even though she wasn't even playing shayera (which also would've been reduced if the dcau just called shayera hawkwoman like comics).
and even now, conservatives are using dcau shayera against comic kendra because of the current hawkgirl run.
and isabela is getting hate (not as bad but it's still hate) against her for not being a redhead like shayera or just dcau stans being mad shayera isn't getting adapted.
you cannot deny that the hate for kendra has ALWAYS stemmed from the dcau & wouldn't be as big if the dcau was comic accurate with shayera aka calling her hawkwoman.
and now we got to wait for superman: legacy until it can finally (mostly) be fixed. the damage it did was crazy

Wait?? He's been here for ONE episode and you're already loving The Collector?
I mean... to clarify, the Collector has been featured in more episodes than one. It's just the season 2 finale is actually the first time we see his true form (or what I assume his true form is).
And characters with powerful abilities coupled with childlike personalities are instantly interesting and fun characters in my eyes.
So yeah, The Collector:
Tumblr media
But let's get a little multi-fandom with it! Because I also like:( •‿-)
Annie Hastur (League of Legends & Legends of Runeterra),
Tumblr media
Also, Ace (DCAU),
Tumblr media
and even Grogu (Star Wars, The Mandalorian),
Tumblr media
There's just something about these little kids or kid-like characters who just wanna play and have fun, make friends and laugh, but also have such tremendous power. Either it's untapped, unchecked, or just completely limitless were it not for their childish antics and desires. And to me, that's just super adorable, endearing, and interesting to see.
Granted---looping back to TOH---we don't know much about The Collector. We can theorize his motives and desires but we don't truly know what he wants outside of being free and playing. But for now, those two factors have been granted to him and he seems to like it!
Also, Anon, are you really surprised people love this character so soon? This fandom instantly fixates on a new character like its an addiction...
Until next ask,
-- Bleh
