Now can people stop saying the same annoying thing every damn episode???

I'm very sorry that your fav wasn't in every single scene 4/5 episodes in a row. (mine only spoke in one episode while my other favourite had only one scene and no lines, just sayin)

Personally, I've loved these episodes and I think people had very high expectations for how this season was supposed to go. Which, fair enough, YJ is that good; but the amount of shit that fans have given this team, who cares deeply for their fanbase, for not meeting their extraordinarily high expectations is quite disappointing.

honestly I’m glad that Nightwing’s arc will be focused on getting Conner back as apposed to having it be about Jason and Damian. listen I love them both and would like to see them show up next season or something but I want this last arc to focus on the og team. there’s no reason for Jason and Damian to even have a part in Dick’s arc since he doesn’t know that either of them even exist or is alive.

also I have to admit that I’m kind of apprehensive about how Grandon will portray Jason and Damian and how their backstories might be changed from the comics. I’m still on the fence about how much Cass and Barbara’s backstories were changed.

I really really hope they don’t go the “Damian was conceived because Talia r*ped Bruce” route because I hate that (fuck you Grant Morrison). Grandon has changed so much from the comics and I really hope this is actually something they will change too. also I hope they don’t victim blame Jason for his own murder because that’s done way too much in comics and other media *cough*Titans*cough* (I’m still really bitter about that show).

I’m just not sure I even trust Greg and Brandon with Jason and Damian’s stories.

(yes I know Brandon Vietti directed Batman: Under the Red Hood but still I don’t really trust anyone to not victim blame Jason).

Batman: Under the Red Hood (2010)

Batman: Under the Red Hood may be superior to its source material. This animated film retains everything that made the original story compelling but does away with the excess baggage that naturally comes from long-running series like Batman.  It's fast-paced and far above what you expect from a title that premiered on home video.

Based on the Under the Hood storyline by Judd Winick, the action is set years after the murder of Jason Todd, the second Robin, at the hands of the Joker (John DiMaggio). In Gotham City, a skilled marksman, martial artist and strategist known as The Red Hood has begun a campaign to rule the criminal underworld. As Batman (Bruce Greenwood) attempts to decipher the identity of this new foe, crime lord Black Mask (Wade Williams) is driven to desperate measures.

An early entry in the DC Universe Animated Original Movies series, Under the Red Hood can feel a bit censored at times (something that’s been rectified with the later entries in the series, for better and worse). There are also shots where you can tell the animation department had to resort to some CGI shortcuts to render the action they wanted. Those are acceptable shortcomings in a release like this, meaning the only real flaw… is the length. By beginning with Jason Todd's death instead of having it set literally years ago with a stack of stories between them, you just know the two are connected. Even so, the film is surprisingly emotional, particularly when the story flashes back to Batman's memories of Jason. You feel the impact his death had on the caped crusader and the final scene is such a punch in the gut it’s hard to shake.

Under the Red Hood features a tight story and makes great use of the Batman mythos. Particularly interesting is the way “normal” criminals like Black Mask (who steals every scene he’s in) interacts with the Joker.

Batman's relationship with his villains is a topic that's frequently explored and in this film, it's done satisfyingly. The Red Hood is killing people, but no one would shed a tear for them. Does that make his actions ok? No, but had Batman adopted the same mentality, The Joker wouldn’t have murdered Robin. Who knows how many people would still live.

If you’re looking for action, you’ll be pleased with this film. There are extended sequences where multiple characters are fighting with a wide variety of styles and weaponry. It looks great, and it’s exciting, a nice break from the detective work and the emotion/drama naturally found in this story.

Batman: Under The Red Hood is an impressive adaptation of a comic book story that had an impact on the Batman character. Over the years, the quality of these DC Universe Animated films has wavered but you can safely bet on this one. (On Blu-ray, August 11, 2018)

YJ Straightforward: An Open Letter to the Young Justice Writers

I really do not know if this somehow reaches their attention or if this will get any notes but I felt the need to just write this all down now that YJ Phantoms has ended.

First off, I would like to thank the entire YJ Production team for this wonderful season, you guys did amazing and I'm thankful you were given the chance to tell this story. The finale was crazy good and I was satisfied especially since episode 24 and 25 stressed me out real good.

I am being an optimist regarding you guys getting renewed so we shall see if the post ages like wine or milk. Point is, I wish to give some constructive criticisms for this season. I respect you guys as storytellers and admire your work, but I feel the need to express a few things I've seen from myself and from the fandom regarding Season 4.

One of the things I want to talk about is the expectations of Season 4 vs the actual season.

Season 4 become highly anticipated by fans when you guys revealed your first poster: the original Team (minus Will Harper but that's a whole other topic). And we all collectively thought: oh wow! The Original team are the main focus of this season just like Season One! We were all thrilled. You see the magic of Young Justice Season One was the dynamics of the original Team. We got to see their history, their growth and how they overcome obstacles from villains as well as their personal lives. It was a character-driven story where the Team's actions are what make the story very interesting.

The Season 4's arcs sets us up with the expectation that we are getting to see exactly that. And in fairness you delivered it so well with M'gann, Artemis, and Kaldur's arc.

However in the case of Zatanna, Rocket, Nightwing, and Superboy, we didn't get to see that. Instead we got a view of the magic community, the cosmic community, and the Phantom Zone respectively with plot-driven stories. I understand you had an overall story arc in mind for the season involving the Phantom Zone prisoners and I genuinely enjoyed seeing that. However, fans can't help but feel disappointment that we didn't get a character driven story arc that explores the other four team members' past, growth, and personal battles for the past decade, when we got it with the other three.

I completely respect the choices you've made in the stories you have told in Season 4. I actually loved the reveal of Vandal being connected to both metahumans and Homo Magi. The battle against Child and the Sentinels of Magic. Earth 17 holy multiverse. Exploring New Genesis and the Phantom Zone. They were all great to see.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, perhaps in the next season (yes I'm being an optimist in that regard), we get to see more character-driven stories. At the very least try to give us the proper expectations.

Now I'm not blaming the marketing or the writers with the disconnect between what the posters led us to think and what we actually got in the story, I understand that you guys may not have the final say in how the promotions are run, or thag it was nit your intention to give us the wrong idea on Season 4's plot. But perhaps based on the fans reaction to this season, you could consider trying not to make a repeat of this again.

I hope this doesn't offend you guys in anyway, I meant no disrespect. I just hope when we get a chance to have Season 5, we get to relive the magic of Season One, by seeing Dick, M'gann, Artemis, Conner, Kaldur, Raquel, Zatanna, AND Will (AND Wally too please we are still not convinced he is dead call me a clown I don't care) go on a mission together. I hope we get to see them interact now that they're adults to have a fun contrast to their Season One dynamics. I hope we get an episode exploring Zatanna's state of mind as the new Doctor Fate, more of Raquel learning how to form a healthy relationship with Amistad, Conner's dynamics with the entire Kent family, and that sweet sweet Batfamily story where Dick gets to interact with Jason. The fans really wanted that and I hope that we get to see that in some shape or form in the future.

This is getting long so I'll end it here. Again, thank you for the stories you have told in Young Justice Phantoms. And I hope to see some improvements for Season 5.

You can start by bringing back Wally West.

Batman: Under The Red Hood

“Batman: Under The Red Hood” is one of the many Batman animated movies that solidified who Batman truly is to my young teen self.

Batman is haunted by his greatest failure, the death of Jason Todd. Batman failed to save Jason, his second Robin, from a brutal beating from the Joker and an explosion that killed him. Five years later, a new villain called the Red Hood is taking control of Gotham’s drug empire. This catches the attention of Batman, who notices something familiar about him.

Everyone knows that Batman has one rule: to never kill. I mean, it’s a heroic trait that separates him from the evil that he constantly fights. At least, that’s what it’s thought to be. “Batman: Under The Red Hood” is an exploration of the victims of his rule. This movie asks the question: “Who is Batman’s rule really helping?”. Also, I know this movie is an adaptation of the comics, but I’m reviewing the movie, so try to talk about both, depending on whichever one helps highlight my point better. It’s cool to see how a fan-voted decision to kill off Jason Todd in the comics evolved into a seriously complex exploration of Batman’s character. This movie is short, but in 75 minutes, “Batman: Under The Red Hood” managed to capture the love Bruce had for Jason, the weight put on Bruce after the tragedy, and the ideological clash between the two in such a convincing way. Bruce Greenwood is an amazing voice actor the caped crusader, and that’s saying something considering Batman already has an iconic voice actor in Kevin Conroy. Greenwood is still able to sound exactly like the Batman I have always envisioned in my head. Jensen Ackles blew me away during this rewatch. Now that I have a more critical eye for performances, I can see that Ackles brought his A-game to this movie. The emotional moments hit that much harder because you can truly feel the tormented soul of Jason Todd through his performance. John DiMaggio is always a win in my book and I loved his take on the Joker. Although the comics did most of the heavy lifting in terms of the story, there are still choices made in this movie that sets it apart. I don’t mind the small change made in the final confrontation between Batman and Red Hood because it still works for me. It just conveys a different, but equally plausible reaction from Batman that doesn’t detract from the impact the scene was going for. The cherry on top of this amazing movie is the action. I crave to see this in live action one day, but the way Batman moves in his animated movies is the truest form of Batman in my opinion. Ben Affleck’s warehouse scene comes close, but I just need more of that in my life. If you know nothing about Batman, but want to know what all the hype is about, then I highly recommend you start with this movie. I guarantee it will make a fan out of you.

One of the annoying things about writing a long-fic for a series I now strongly disagree with is that I keep having the impulse to make additions/ alterations to the story that address or respond to those frustrations with canon.

Some of those things I had already just planned-in automatically because it seemed like a natural thing for a story to do (Conner and Clark are supposed to eventually develop a proper bond which we were absolutely robbed of so Deathly Weapons has a running background thread about that). 

Some of it can also naturally integrate with/ extend from things that were already planned (there’s an Artemis scene in the current WIP chapter, and there are later missions where I can intentionally have M’gann respect and validate Conner’s boundaries).

But then there are characters like Zatanna who were done such a disservice, but who I can’t figure out a way to serve better without artificially socketing in something that could feel really forced or flow-breaking.  

And the thing is, if DW was in a TV-show format, that would be totally possible.  We could just have a 30-minute standalone Zatanna-centric episode that actually explored her relationship with her dad, the expectations she feels/places upon herself and let her start developing as a sorceress in her own right.  We could also have a 30min episode dedicated to Clark and Conner (maybe Clark taking him to the Daily Planet and them having to face danger as civilians over some news story a bad guy is trying to squash).  We could have an episode or two about Artemis and Jade (perhaps with Cheshire ending up becoming a target over some work she did, and Artemis - and maybe Roy - trying to help her in a way that elaborates on their dynamic as sisters, maybe even leaning into some Alice in Wonderland imagery).

But the problem is that Deathly Weapons isn’t a show: it’s a written fic and none of those things have to do with the main plot or character through-line.  This story is ultimately centred on Phantom and a collection of mysteries in his orbit and the format isn’t very accommodating to random breaks for long tangents that do nothing to develop that.  Otherwise I’d just be sticking myself with the same Scope Management and Structure problem that I’ve been complaining about for approximately two hundred years at this point.

And, like I’ve said before, I know DW isn’t a fix-it for canon; it was never meant to be a fix-it for canon (heck, it pre-dates most of that problem canon) and there’s no obligation for it to do these things.

But even with that, it still feels unsatisfying that there isn’t more I can do; to provide even a little redress for these characters that deserved so much better than they got.

#in which I complain #Zee my girl you deserved so much better #I will forever be indignant that her character was relegated to Nightwing's side-piece + magical plot-solutions dispenser + daddy-issues #I think it's important to remember that YJS1 was the result of a talented production team #that among other members had prominent directorial input from two major staff who used to work on the Teen Titans Animated show #and when they (for whatever reason) were not involved in S2+ #it left far less creative counterweight to balance out Greg 'Decidedly Male' Weisman and Brandon 'Always More Characters' Vietti #but that's still kind of a cold comfort #and I know one of the answers here would be: just write another fic #but honestly the idea of EVER touching the YJ fandom again after DW is done is EXHAUSTING #Young justice: deathly weapons #young justice #3WD
