It's about the very strained paternal relationship between Jason and Batman and (probably) mental illness.

I used https://audiostrip.co.uk/ to help isolate the vocals for the spoken parts.
I was watching a ton of Jason Todd AMVs and one of the things I disliked was the inconsistency between the voices used. So for this video, I decided to use only Jensen Ackles’ voice, who voiced Jason in the original Red Hood movie as well as played Dean Winchester in the “Supernatural” show.
Have you ever watched an animated Constatine? He is way cooler in animation and comic books...Anyways. I stumbled upon that movie first with my partner, and he told me that there is an order to the DC Universe and this movie was like way on the bottom of the list. We decided to watch it in order, but the order is not self explanatory.
This is for your reference (and source): https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/dc-animated-movies-in-order/
Order Up:
1) Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (2013)
We know these characters all have their own stories, but this is the point that they come together into their own grouping in this universe. This movie resets all the rules you think you know.
2) Justice League: War (2014)
This is an important point they get back to later in the storyline. It helps to bring and keep these guys together.
3) Son of Batman (2014)
This gets more into Batman’s story, but remember everything connects and leads to other things.
4) Justice League: Throne of Atlantis (2015)
This is a call to action from the team that shows the underwater world but also adds to the team.
5) Batman vs Robin (2015)
This explores the conflict that creates the super hero icons true selves, but we all have daddy issues.
6) Batman: Bad Blood (2016)
This is pretty neat for seeing how big the Bat Family actually gets.
7) Justice League vs. Teen Titans (2016)
This introduces the Teen Titans into universe and helps to (eventually) establish a younger and older set of heroes.
8) Justice League: Dark (2017)
This is where you get more in the mix, Constatine’s group is pretty cool and works well with a group of supers.
9) Teen Titans: The Judas Contract (2017)
A fun little installment from our youthful heroes.
10) Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay (2018)
This universe is a little interesting as even vilians get to switch sides and join the party. It’s not a party until they show up...right?
11) The Death of Superman (2018)
This is a pretty iconic point in comics and animation both, it has even been said that Superman is being compared to Jesus.
12) Constantine: City of Demons (2018)
Really any of these that have Constatine are awesome.
13) Reign of the Supermen (2019)
With the death of one superman, you get many revivals. Not unlike Jesus right? Sorry not sorry.
14) Batman: Hush (2019)
Between Batman’s day job, child, night time hobby, and his new friends...its not like he needs more to do does he?
15) Wonder Woman: Bloodlines (2019)
Some people get no back story movies, some get a lot. This is Wonder Woman’s back story.
16) Justice League Dark: Apokolips War (2020)
The year starts to catch up with us now. This name, if you watched the movies in order, is mentioned more in the beginning. Its the big bads name and his effect on earth.
17) DC Showcase: Constantine - The House of Mystery (2022)
While I do think this is in two collections, one in this set of films and two in the DC showcase collection, this picks up where no16 left off.
I loved the animation, the old school lore, the comic book origins. A proper mix of characters. No 16 was supposed to be the last but they are adding to it. Which is awesome. I personally prefer this to MCU but I wonder if this wasn’t inspired by DCU? Have you seen any of these? Did you watch them in order because of this post?
Danny slowly lowered himself down onto Luther's newest death machine thanks to his bat themed grappling hook. Making special care not to let his heart beat or his lungs take in breath lest Superman hear him and intervene, he used his intangibility to sink into the machine itself to steal its parts.
Yeah, so a full white outfit wasn't the best choice for stealth, but it was better than dressing like a traffic light. Plus the black gloves and boots made him feel nostalgic. It had been only seven months since the accident that took his life, so much has happened since then.
Biting his lip as he smiled as he began gathering up parts and wires with his intangibility and placing them into his bag. Lastly he grabbed the power source, which-surprise, surprise, is kryptonite.
After he grabbed what he wanted he quickly stuck a note on the maintenance panel of the machine for when someone opened it and discovered it now had a large hollow space, then simply sank down through the floor and flew to freedom.
Danny sighed once he was clear. Or, at least he thought he was.
"Young man." Crud. Danny turned around to see big blue floating behind him in all his red underwear glory. Great. "I believe you have something that doesn't belong to you." The Kryptonian said, looking pointedly at the large chunk of kryptonite Danny held under his arm.
Instead of an excuse, Danny got an idea. "Uh, hello? Recognize the mask?" He said, gesturing to his face.
Superman narrowed his eyes, staring at his face for a few very long seconds and just as Danny was about to cut his losses and book it out of there, a look of recognition graced the heros face. Sweet. "Thats Nightwings mask."
"Yeah. Just smaller."
Superman nodded, then asked, "Why aren't you wearing a bat symbol? I wouldn't have thought you were a thief if I knew you were working with Batman." Danny had to fight to keep his face neutral.
"I haven't decided what symbol I want on my suit yet." And that was true. Danny wasn't sure he wanted any symbol at all. The mark of the bat would mean that he belonged in the batclan, and Danny was a lone ghost. A wandering spirit if you will. He didn't belong anywhere.
Some small part of his mind that sounded suspiciously like Jazz said that might be one of the reasons he's been behaving so poorly lately, but he brushed it off. Superman just nodded sagely. Danny doubted he actually knew how Danny felt and was just nodding along to appear sympathetic. Adults lie, and they lie often. Danny kinda hated them for it.
"Well, I'm kinda on a deadline, so I should get going. Crime to fight, goth furry to annoy, you know how it is." Danny said, waving the arm that wasn't carrying the kryptonite around in the air before using it to readjust the bags strap on his shoulder.
"Alright," superdude smiled warmly, "Tell Batman I said hi." Danny grinned back at him as he jogged away, "Will do!"
That went better than expected. Thank you, Nightwing~! The boy thought to himself as he ran off into a secluded area and turned invisible and flying away.
Just imagining Supermans face if- no- when Batman finally breaks and tells the Justice League about the little menace thats been stealing all his and his sidekicks stuff for the last few weeks nearly sends Danny into hysterics.
Danny still has Robins sword mounted above the fireplace in his favorite safe house in Costa del Sol. Red Hoods "favorite" motorcycle was in its garage and Red Robins wrist computer and chest harness thing were mounded in a glass case next to the first thing he stole from them:
Batmans utility belt.
Sure, its a pain to remove all the tracking stuff from them, but man is he proud of those accomplishments.
Still. Its better to leave Metropolis after he got caught by Superman. Its only a mater of time before someone finds out about the old switcheroo he pulled at the last museum robbery and that combined with the bodies of those creepy rich guys he had killed (human trafficer buyers) well, surely Batman has noticed he had been gone for a while and would pick up on the matching M.O. in Metropolis.
EVIL MARK, EVIL MARK, EVIL MARK!!! I want to be coherent about this season but please picture me foaming at the mouth and running on the walls. S2 being what if Mark's just like his Dad? Insanity. I love this show. Anyways, AU where an Evil!Mark tries to make Our!Mark worse, and Our!Mark tries to make the other better. Something something confronting your idea of the worst version of oneself. Plus, tweaked black and yellow costume because I saw it and immediately went murder hornet lookin' ass and knew I had to draw it. Evil ass Mark. Horrible. I think he should be dragged kicking and screaming into redemption.
Part 1 of the Rogues lineup for my DC AU I've named "Bad Blood". I'll be writing little short stories and mini comics to explain more about all of them down the line, but I wanted to start out by getting a feel of their looks before I did anything else. This AU isn't going to be OC-centric because that's honestly boring to me. It is however Rogues-centric, and will be like looking into their collective shenanigans among themselves and with the Bats. Not gonna lie, this AU was mostly just an excuse for me to get my headcanons about all these characters out and I regret absolutely nothing lol
Jack Fenton is a lot of things, a caring husband, a scientist, and even a dad! Or so he thought, until he finds out Maddie Cheated on him and Danny wasn’t really his, he knew the initial on the guy was B. W. but he didn’t know who that was. He got into a fight with her about it and he left for a couple days to clear his head.
Jazz, and Danny were in the basement along with their mom who was trying to get the portal activated. It wasn’t working and she was getting frustrated. Danny hates that his parents were fighting over him, he didn’t know who his real father was but he was a little curious. Jack and Maddie had always put their research above all else and he wished he had a normal family.
Danny goes into the hole where the portal is and trips on a wire, in a blinding light he dies and is brought back. Unfortunately the portal wasn’t quite ready without Jack helping and an explosion spreads out in the basement killing both Jazz and Maddie. Jack comes home to find only Danny alive. He resents the boy, of course he does Danny took away his only chance at normal.
Danny after a couple weeks of getting abused by the now alcoholic Jack, runs away to Gotham, he’s got to find Batman, he’s the worlds greatest detective, surely he can find who B. W. Is right?
