This video is a love letter to The Zeta Project, Teen Titans, and all of the creators behind the shows that made me who I am.

Kinda forgot to share the rest of the Zeta Month videos over here, so if you missed any of those, then definitely check em out!

Now that that's been said...

Y'know how a bunch of you have been asking us how Teen Titans 2003 and The Zeta Project are related since we dropped the Zeta Month finale trailer?

Well... this is only part of it.

Back in 2020, Dan Riba sent us Glen Murakami's original design for Zeta on Batman Beyond. Now we give it to you!

Want the rest of the answer? We're hosting a live watch party of the Zeta Month finale TOMORROW for ALL Patreon supporters!

Head on over to sign up at even the lowest level and get access to the Zoom call link!

It'll be the "Endgame" to B&HQ WIC's "Infinity War"...

We just dropped our latest Zeta Month video! It's less The Zeta Project and focuses on a wild DC story from the 80s involving an entirely separate Boomerand headed AI character named Zeta.

It was a lot of fun figuring out a way to make an episode of our old Graphic Content series work in the context of a month about The Zeta Project since there weren't any comics!

I had the chance to chat with voice actor Julie Nathanson a couple years back about her time on The Zeta Project as Rosalie Rowan!

Held this one back for a while since COVID messed up our Zeta Month plans, but I'm so excited that it's out there now!!! She was such a delight and I can't believe I get to just chat with people who worked on my favorite shows. This will never stop being wild! #BringBackZeta

I know I saw Bruce Timm (at least I was pretty sure it was him …maybe it was James Tucker or Dwayne McDuffie or someone?) say somewhere that they one time briefly considered making the JL go up against Bizarro, Starro, and some other similarly named villains in some kind of team, but figured that would be “too corny, even for us” (paraphrased). But I can’t for the life of me find in what interview, post, or video this was said now. Any idea???

Not even sure where to start looking, because it seems you may be misremembering things. The way Batman Beyond had tackled Starro didn't really leave room for him to be used in JL/JLU

Same guy who asked about Clock King here, also wondering, on a related note, if there was any evidence in the DCAU for the existence of Star City at all that I didn’t know about - maybe some bts commentary from the producers referring to the unnamed place we first see Green Arrow in the “Initiation” intro as Star or something like that? I know it features in a few of the tie-in comics, but anything from the actual animated DCAU at all?

If it ain’t on the DCAU wiki, it probably wasn’t mentioned in the shows, and I don’t have any production documents on hand that mention it.

[dcautimeline]

(2/2) already written scripts of Old Wounds and Sins of the Father, not vice versa. As for BGA 6 vs the mainstream comic, I recently caught up w your BTAC vids and saw the same mixup there—Deadman did team up with Batman in Brave and the Bold 79, yes, but totally different story, not his origin, and still the only thing that actually depicted those 2 "solving Brand's murder" is BGA. Been reading while trying to find all other tie-ins canonized onscreen & its fun but still looking; there anymore?

Okay, wrapping back around from earlier. I still remain convinced that Dead Reckoning isn’t by any means intentionally making reference to Gotham Adventures not only because that issue is actually connected to A LOT more issues than you stated earlier, or because the JLU timeline was actually incredibly tight and made reference on multiple occasions to specifically how long ago events in other shows took place (STAS being explicitly mentioned as 5 years ago, and thus dragging TNBA and B:GA into that area and making Brand’s “it’s been over a year” remark inconsistent with  the writing to that point, and only TECHNICALLY correct. It’s been over a year, sure... but, uh... it’s been more than one), but mostly i remain convinced of this because it misunderstands the relationship between the shows and the tie-in material. While the show teams worked on plenty of issues of the tie-in comics (Batman: Harley & Ivy, Batgirl Adventures, that annual you mentioned earlier, to name a few), when they WEREN’T involved, well... you’ll hear over and over and over again from artists and writers that there wasn’t really a two way street of communication and any info they got about the shows was almost the same as the regular viewer, but maybe they’d get a copy of the show bible if they were lucky.  Then you’ve got to factor in the time table for animation. These things happen at such different paces that a whole season of a show can air before too many issues get out. Like, Batman: the Animated Series aired 45 issues before Batman Adventures even got it’s 4th issue out (so long as you’re not counting the small story in Fox - Totally Kids Magazine that came out November 1992, and I don’t think most people would). There’s just not really a lot of chance to go back and forth, and the thought that they would, especially with an issue written by somebody who ISN’T on show staff really doesn’t jive with Bruce’s “they’re two separate continuities. They contradict us, and we contradict them.” stance. There’s also the oddity that WERE that a direct reference, then it would be much more direct than anything that was done in the Etrigan stories. Events of that story weren’t mentioned (at least, not to my current recollection), we just got the broad strokes “oh, yeah, we know each other” gist, and then a nice solidifying from Bruce Timm almost a decade later that “hey, that’s because of the one comic i wrote that one time!” That all said, hey, I’m not ALWAYS right. In fact, I’m very often wrong! Besides, I still haven’t actually finished all of Superman Adventures, Adventures in the DC Universe, Justice League Adventures, or Justice League Unlimited. Who even knows what happens in THOSE!? So, if you’re looking for that kind of thing, and I didn’t dissuade you from your search too hard, I’d say to specifically look at issues written by show crew (Primarily Dini or Timm, but there are others) and then jump forward about a year, maybe a year and a half even, to an episode that you think might hold relevance to that issue and go from there.

Lol, my long reply to pt. 2 of that q didn't post, it seems. And I'm at work now, so I may have to retry that later if it doesn't magically go through.

[dcautimeline]

Hi again! Not sure what happened to 2/2 before, but I just asked what other (if any) tie-in comics there were beyond TBA annual 2 and BGA #6 (which also ropes in B&RA 15 and, as I've since found out, BGA 5 too, though its followups in BGA 8-9 don't seem as fittable in canon) that episodes of the shows may also have referenced/assumed something that had only been established in/otherwise took from in the same way as those 2, not counting The Lost Years since they said it was based on the... (1/2)

Posting for context.

Any way that Justice League First Mission pilot could fit in canon?

Given that nothing really happens in it, you could probably fit it in at SOME point between Secret Origins (J'onn and Diana's canonical first appearance) and the Return of the Joker flashback (Tim's last outing as Robin) so long as you ignore all the design specifics.

Though, I suppose Lex shows up too so you might would need to place it before Alive/Destroyer, which is really a direct Continuation of his arc all throughout JLU, so maybe even before then. And THAT arc follows after he's pardoned due to A Better World.

So... if you can figure out shoving it between Secret Origins and A Better World, have at it! #heartcanon that shit!

You are the best?

Is this a question or a statement 🧐

[dcautimeline]

No idea if you will see this soon, but, have you done much work on a STAS timeline?

We've started and stopped and started and stopped research on that one so many times. Some of that due to my brain lacking focus, some of that due to not knowing where to fit it into our storyline (since most timeline and WIC videos go there), and some of that due to not knowing whether or not we should lean on info from Superman Adventures before we did a WIC on that.

STAS timeline IS on my shortlist for 2023, so hopefully we'll crack that nut at some point soon!

Are you aware that you're just another Woke activist? Oh and you can take a screen of that and put it on Twitter pretending I'm a fascist homophobe if it helps you feel good.

I shidded and fardded and pissed and camed

No joke, this is the biggest video we've done yet. While I don't often like to toot my own horn, this was a group effort and the effort put in by EVERYONE shows. It's just incredible!

Are there any differences (different editing, additional footage, anything else) between episodes of the DCAU that were also released combined as multi-episode movies, and if so, which are the most definitive version of experiencing the story? Which has the fullest content? And which was the original product the creators made?

Starcrossed and World's Finest both got cool intros.
