24:22 Ruff, I don't hold it against you for thinking this Supes wasn't born and raised on earth, but he was. He's just a pretentious asshole. Superman is like when someone does 23 and Me, and finds out they're part Italian. So then they study up and starts telling EVERYBODY about the history and culture of Italy. It happened in the Man of Steel movie, when Lois calls is emblem an 'S'. Then after clicking his tongue in annoyance, he says ''It's not an S........On my world it means hope'' Cavil delivered the line with such indignation, considering the character had only known what it actually meant for a few hours.

Just some extra info to add to this. It's titled Batman: Assault on Arkham, but there is very little Batman. It should have been marketed as a Suicide Squad movie, 'cause that's definitely what it was. Nobody really liked the first live action (I didn't like either) Suicide Squad movie, but it's so much worse when you have Assault on Arkham to compare it to. There's also an animated Suicide Squad (Hell to Pay) movie that is part of the DCAU continuity. I won't spoil anything with my opinion of it, just know that it's out there, and separate from Assault on Arkham. That is all

This movie and the last one are the start of the New 52, so the alien tech is New 52 storyline. They added it to make his abilities morw realistic lol

Everything DC is very complicated cuz there's so much, animated and live action, most of which really only revolving around Batman as that's their Number 1 money maker, so it's hard to start anywhere with anything with no comic knowledge.
I'm excited for this new universe based series, stay on track with it, but jumping back to some older movies around the "Under the Red Hood/JL: Doom" years would still me nice.
- First, Batman/Superman: Public Enemy HAS to be on your watch, it's a great buddy team-up where President Lex Luthor (yes) declares them enemies and Superheroes and Supervillains alike try to take them down.
- Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths is what Doom followed, but it didn't hurt to watch out of order. It's one of the best without giving spoilers.
- Ruff wants some cool Superman stories, All-Star Superman is a fantastic movie for that!
- For some character origins, the Wonder Woman and Green Lantern: First Flight movies are decent origin stories, though not canon to this upcoming universe, but worth watching just to grasp the general concept as their origins don't change to drastically usually just like Batman's parents being shot and Superman growing up on Earth after Krypton explodes.
- I'm a big fan of New Frontier as it's Justice League origin story but set in the 60's like it was retelling the original, but you kinda have to appreciate the throwbacks.
As for the live action, you could start '89-90's Batman if you want, some don't hold up, a return to the Dark Knight trilogy is always great (it's hot on Youtube right now), and the new The Batman is fantastic! Shazam is also a great movie to watch that stands alone pretty well outside the DCEU while the rest of the DCEU (Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman, etc) aren't well received but a rabbit hole is a hole to fall into. I think Man of Steel is fine, I liked Wonder Woman, and like I said Shazam is top tier and Black Adam isn't half bad. Green Lantern if just for the lolz would be hilarious if not cringe, just to see how bad it is.

High Light Notes and Fun Facts:
- Fun Fact: back when "the team" first came together in the 60's, they weren't all for it. Batman and Superman actually HATED the idea and refused to join the team right out the gate. The first several comics didn't heavily feature them, mostly Wonder Woman, GL, Flash, Aquaman and Martian. Green Arrow was actually brought on quickly after to fill the gadget/tactician role of Batman lol
- While I can't say Wonder Woman has always been able to fly, it has been a standard for at least 70 years, but she's usually depicted as not a "fast flier" by comparison to other Justice League members, hence her Jet for extended journeys and faster travel around the world, or even going to places she can't breath in.
- Flash and Green Lantern are almost always depicted as knowing each other pre-Justice League in most-to-all versions of their stories, like Batman and Superman (obviously not this version lol). Green Arrow and Green Lantern usually do, as well, typically leading the three forming their own dynamic team-ups.
- Shazam is usually always just one kid, Billy Batson. That parallel universe where all 6 kids were Shazam is not common, though very cool, and probably could be what happens in the character's later story arc.
- Bizarro (Bizarro Superman) I think has an official origin, but many media and comic reboots have given him alternate creation origins so you could be right Eric.

Diana is from Earth. Her social skills aren’t good because she’s from a secret, isolated island civilization that still worships the Greek gods. It’s also a society of women only. They don’t reproduce. The original Amazonians were sculpted from clay and brought to life by the goddess Aphrodite. They don’t reproduce. They’re immortal. Then they rebooted the comics and made it so that they do reproduce….in a disturbing way. Three times a century they’ll raid ships sailing in their waters, rape the crew until conception and then kill them to keep their civilization secret. Nine months later the girls are celebrated and the boys are…..drowned. Eventually it’s revealed that one the boys that were thrown into the sea survived: Hephaestus. He makes a deal with the amazons. He gives them weapons, they give him their infant boys. In this version, the younger generation, including Diana, is unaware of any of this. They’ve been told that the lack of male babies is “divine will.” The entire revamped origin story for Diana is her realizing that this perfect society she was raised in is in fact just as corrupt as the world of man. Like being raised Mormon or Jehovah’s Witness.

The DCAMU is a reboot by DC comics to modernize its superheroes.
It all started with 'Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox,' where The Flash changes the timeline, creating the New 52 universe. These movies follow a connected storyline, unlike the older, stand-alone films.
The first movie helps explain why things are different in JLW. Batman(Bruce Wayne) is there because he didn't die that night, his Dad does(like in every DC Batman comic). Even though The Flash changed the timeline back to the way it was, he didn't stop the other outcome that would happen. It just made a much BIGGER problem for their world.
Here's a list for the MOVIES IN ORDER:
1. Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (2013)
2. Justice League: War (2014)
3. Son of Batman (2014)
4. Justice League: Throne of Atlantis (2015)
5. Nightwing and Robin (2015) [45-SEC SHORT FILM)
6. Batman vs. Robin (2015)
7. Batman: Bad Blood (2016)
8. Justice League vs. Teen Titans (2016)
9. Justice League Dark (2017)
10. Teen Titans: The Judas Contract (2017)
11. Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay (2018)
12. The Death of Superman (2018)
13. Constantine: City of Demons (2018)
14. Reign of the Supermen (2019)
15. Batman: Hush (2019)
16. Wonder Woman: Bloodlines (2019)
17. Justice League Dark: Apokolips War (2020)
18. Constantine: The House of Mystery (2022)

FYI the reason Superman is like this in the movie is because these movies are based on the New 52 Line of comics(Aug 2011-May 2016) which were originally meant to be a reboot of the comics. They made Superman be kind of an asshole sometimes because they wanted him to transition into being the standard superman. He was still on earth as a baby. The New 52 had a few good things but I heard a lot of people really hated the bad parts.
BTW during that time a lot of DC shows would randomly reference the number 52. Young justice did it in episode 1

If you guys wanna react to more live action movies, i definitely recommend the first Shazam movie. I havent seen the sequels so i cant give my opinions on them, but the first one is so fun and does a really good job showing off Billy and his whole schtick.
But if you guys wanna talk about nerfed characters... Shazam definitely is one. His original comics name was Captain Marvel, and his codeword for turning into his hero form was Shazam. However, Marvel later copyrighted the name Captain Marvel for their character, and they ended up changing his name to Shazam, which makes things... a little complicated. Because every time he says his name, he is supposed to transform.
Shazam/Marvel is supposed to have the powers of Greek Gods and Heroes. Here, he's given flight, slight invulnerability, and lightning powers. In the comics, Billy has literally one weakness in his hero form: Magic. That's it. Superman is weak to Magic and Kryptonite, while Billy is only weak to one of those. Shazam usually is nerfed significantly not only because people think he's just a dumb kid, but also because he is technically stronger than a lot of heroes, including, on ocassion, Superman.
Billy is both a kid and not in his hero form. He is very smart, very strong, and very fast. Unfortunately... that doesn't really get shown off at ALL in all the digital media he's featured in. It's a shame.
Also Also, The Long Halloween's part 1 and 2 are part of I believe the tomorrowverse? The animated universe after this one. They can technically be viewed on their own, especially because its just a specific backstory from Batman's past, and it is one of my favorite duologies of the animated movies! Hope to see you guys react to it if you do!

If you're starting 'from the beginning' with DC live action, you should absolutely start with the Christopher Reeves Superman movies - it will make for quite the journey to look back at when you get to the current stuff (Superman 3 and 4 can be skipped to go straight to the first Tim Burton / Michael Keaton / Jack Nicholson Batman if you want to speed run and stick to good stuff, but they are an *experience* if you're game for them, same with Batman 3 and 4, come to think of it).
I'll be honest, I prefer the stand-alone DC animated movies like Under the Red Hood and The Dark Knight Returns adaptation, but this DCAMU (or whatever the acronym is) is still a lot of fun. This is also great to have going at the same time as Young Justice - that show has a ton of references to broader DC lore, and I bet you'll recognize a lot of them (insert Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme here) from these movies. Great thing about YJ is that you don't need to know the ins and outs of the DC universe to follow the story, but the Easter Eggs add some additional enjoyment.

- While I can't say Wonder Woman has always been able to fly, it has been a standard for at least 70 years, but she's usually depicted as not a "fast flier" by comparison to other Justice League members, hence her Jet for extended journeys and faster travel around the world, or even going to places she can't breath in.
- Flash and Green Lantern are almost always depicted as knowing each other pre-Justice League in most-to-all versions of their stories, like Batman and Superman (obviously not this version lol). Green Arrow and Green Lantern usually do, as well, typically leading the three forming their own dynamic team-ups.
- Shazam is usually always just one kid, Billy Batson. That parallel universe where all 6 kids were Shazam is not common, though very cool, and probably could be what happens in the character's later story arc.
- Bizarro (Bizarro Superman) I think has an official origin, but many media and comic reboots have given him alternate creation origins so you could be right Eric.
I guess these videos are recorded well in advance. or don't usually read the comments on the videos, is ok, just To remember that these films have post credits of the following films
Diana is from Earth. Her social skills aren’t good because she’s from a secret, isolated island civilization that still worships the Greek gods. It’s also a society of women only. They don’t reproduce. The original Amazonians were sculpted from clay and brought to life by the goddess Aphrodite. They don’t reproduce. They’re immortal. Then they rebooted the comics and made it so that they do reproduce….in a disturbing way. Three times a century they’ll raid ships sailing in their waters, rape the crew until conception and then kill them to keep their civilization secret. Nine months later the girls are celebrated and the boys are…..drowned. Eventually it’s revealed that one the boys that were thrown into the sea survived: Hephaestus. He makes a deal with the amazons. He gives them weapons, they give him their infant boys. In this version, the younger generation, including Diana, is unaware of any of this. They’ve been told that the lack of male babies is “divine will.” The entire revamped origin story for Diana is her realizing that this perfect society she was raised in is in fact just as corrupt as the world of man. Like being raised Mormon or Jehovah’s Witness.
If its possible can you react to justice league gods and monsters
Fun fact: in many iterations of The DC universe: Flash, Green lantern are best friends, along with Green Arrow as well. They hang out outside of work. 👍
The DCAMU is a reboot by DC comics to modernize its superheroes.
It all started with 'Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox,' where The Flash changes the timeline, creating the New 52 universe. These movies follow a connected storyline, unlike the older, stand-alone films.
The first movie helps explain why things are different in JLW. Batman(Bruce Wayne) is there because he didn't die that night, his Dad does(like in every DC Batman comic). Even though The Flash changed the timeline back to the way it was, he didn't stop the other outcome that would happen. It just made a much BIGGER problem for their world.
Here's a list for the MOVIES IN ORDER:
1. Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (2013)
2. Justice League: War (2014)
3. Son of Batman (2014)
4. Justice League: Throne of Atlantis (2015)
5. Nightwing and Robin (2015) [45-SEC SHORT FILM)
6. Batman vs. Robin (2015)
7. Batman: Bad Blood (2016)
8. Justice League vs. Teen Titans (2016)
9. Justice League Dark (2017)
10. Teen Titans: The Judas Contract (2017)
11. Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay (2018)
12. The Death of Superman (2018)
13. Constantine: City of Demons (2018)
14. Reign of the Supermen (2019)
15. Batman: Hush (2019)
16. Wonder Woman: Bloodlines (2019)
17. Justice League Dark: Apokolips War (2020)
18. Constantine: The House of Mystery (2022)
I made a similar list in the comments of the dark knight returns video.
I really hope they see this, it would be awesome if they followed the order.
sorry cant delete my last post but just realized you must have got the "new 52" box set of movies. which is the middle set of the movies, should really good back to the golden age that started in 2009 and work forward from there cus im sorry these are OK, but far far the best the movies have to show.
START with Superman/Batman PUBliC ENEMIES and work your way forward. its not that hard it the right watch order and you have a good starting point that get expanded and explained almost all the other movies.
Shazam is just Billy Batson in this timeline. The Flashpoint Paradox was a different timeline. However it has been shown that Shazam can share his power with others, he just doesn't need them to transform.
Fun little detail: In Teen Titans, Cyborg infiltrated the Hive disguised as Stone. He got it from his families' name.
DC does a remarkably shitty job at marketing. I remember discovering these movies by pure chance. Even when they were coming out I only remember seeing trailers from three of their movies.
1:03:56 Bizarro was made by Lex Luthor in an attempt to make a copy Superman.
I HIGHLY recommend you guys watch "All-Star Superman" and "Superman Vs. The Elite" if you want to know more about Superman those are the movies to watch.
FYI the reason Superman is like this in the movie is because these movies are based on the New 52 Line of comics(Aug 2011-May 2016) which were originally meant to be a reboot of the comics. They made Superman be kind of an asshole sometimes because they wanted him to transition into being the standard superman. He was still on earth as a baby. The New 52 had a few good things but I heard a lot of people really hated the bad parts.
BTW during that time a lot of DC shows would randomly reference the number 52. Young justice did it in episode 1
Im so happy yall are enjoying these movies they were my childhood
THE Suicide Squad (2021) is one of my favorite super hero movies. And it was very well recieved. Not to be confused with Suicide Squad (2016) which is one of my least favorite movies and was widely panned
Speaking of Sean Astin, you need to watch Lord of the Rings. Preferably the extended editions.
Justice League Unlimited
Please react to the Justice League and Justice Unlimted cartoon
If you guys wanna react to more live action movies, i definitely recommend the first Shazam movie. I havent seen the sequels so i cant give my opinions on them, but the first one is so fun and does a really good job showing off Billy and his whole schtick.
But if you guys wanna talk about nerfed characters... Shazam definitely is one. His original comics name was Captain Marvel, and his codeword for turning into his hero form was Shazam. However, Marvel later copyrighted the name Captain Marvel for their character, and they ended up changing his name to Shazam, which makes things... a little complicated. Because every time he says his name, he is supposed to transform.
Shazam/Marvel is supposed to have the powers of Greek Gods and Heroes. Here, he's given flight, slight invulnerability, and lightning powers. In the comics, Billy has literally one weakness in his hero form: Magic. That's it. Superman is weak to Magic and Kryptonite, while Billy is only weak to one of those. Shazam usually is nerfed significantly not only because people think he's just a dumb kid, but also because he is technically stronger than a lot of heroes, including, on ocassion, Superman.
Billy is both a kid and not in his hero form. He is very smart, very strong, and very fast. Unfortunately... that doesn't really get shown off at ALL in all the digital media he's featured in. It's a shame.
Also Also, The Long Halloween's part 1 and 2 are part of I believe the tomorrowverse? The animated universe after this one. They can technically be viewed on their own, especially because its just a specific backstory from Batman's past, and it is one of my favorite duologies of the animated movies! Hope to see you guys react to it if you do!
If we are going live action I say we go all the way back for Adam West Batman's movie from the 60's
I'd be down for some Adam West Batman
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (2013)Justice League: War (2014)
Son of Batman (2014)
Justice League: Throne of Atlantis (2015)
Batman vs Robin (2015)
Batman: Bad Blood (2016)
Justice League vs Teen Titans (2016)
Justice League Dark (2017)
Teen Titans: The Judas Contract (2017)
Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay (2018)
The Death of Superman (2018)
Constantine: City of Demons (2018)
Reign of the Supermen (2019)
Batman: Hush (2019)
Wonder Woman: Bloodlines (2019)
Justice League Dark: Apokolips War (2020)
Yeah they tried to make a live action justice league cinematic universe. It ended pretty poorly with only a handful of movies being worth watching, one of which was the first live action shazam
If you want a REALLY good live action DC film,highly recommend THE Suicide squad.
Not SUICIDE SQUAD,that's the terrible one.
THE SUICIDE SQUAD is the good one
Fun Fact! You might have missed it in the credits, but Billy (Shazam) was voiced by Zach Callison, who played "a little someone named Steven Universe."
So son of Batman is next YES
In most continuities of Shazam, he is a single kid gifted the powers of a god. BILLY
If you're starting 'from the beginning' with DC live action, you should absolutely start with the Christopher Reeves Superman movies - it will make for quite the journey to look back at when you get to the current stuff (Superman 3 and 4 can be skipped to go straight to the first Tim Burton / Michael Keaton / Jack Nicholson Batman if you want to speed run and stick to good stuff, but they are an *experience* if you're game for them, same with Batman 3 and 4, come to think of it).
I'll be honest, I prefer the stand-alone DC animated movies like Under the Red Hood and The Dark Knight Returns adaptation, but this DCAMU (or whatever the acronym is) is still a lot of fun. This is also great to have going at the same time as Young Justice - that show has a ton of references to broader DC lore, and I bet you'll recognize a lot of them (insert Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme here) from these movies. Great thing about YJ is that you don't need to know the ins and outs of the DC universe to follow the story, but the Easter Eggs add some additional enjoyment.

There’s an after credits scene which gives you a prologue to the next movie 😭 ya missed it.
POST CREDIT SCENE DAMNIT!!!
You guys also missed the one in Flashpoint that led directly into this movie😂
the green lantern scene you are looking for is at 52:53
I would love to recommend that you guys watch The Mitchells vs the Machines, and Rango! :)
I think this is the Phil Bourassa art era, where he created the character designs for these movies, then Young Justice, and later Legends of Vox Machina (plus more). (Correct me if I'm mistaken though).
im just happy you guys are finally doing these and for future reference im pretty sure these have after credit scenes
I hope y'all know that Billy Batson (when he's a kid, not Shazam) is voiced by Steven Universe!!
just to let you know throughout the dcamu designs and voice actors are subject to change. shazam is only Billy. also different versions of wonder woman can fly, other cant
All these years and I never realised that this Billy Batson has the same voice actor as Steven Universe.
it would be interesting to see their reaction to the animated movie GREEN LANTERN: FIRST FLIGHT
Seconded. More Green Lantern please
If yall are interested in Shazams backstop, you should watch "Superman and Shazam vs black adam" animated movie.
Did nobody explain to you guys that Flashpoint is the big red reset button for DC? Everything after is a new universe from before.
I am thriving with these uploads this has never felt more worth
The first 2 Christopher Reeves Superman movies are really good.
You guys should watch the tv show Gotham if you want more live action. Its pretty good. Prequel to Batman and focuses on a kid Bruce Wayne and a younger Jim Gordon.
Agreed! Also Doom Patrol is absolutely bonkers!
The Justice League animated show you guys would love after Young Justice if you wanna see more of the league. It also connects to the sequel series Justice League Unlimited & Batman Beyond shows
Also Static Shock, which references the Teen Titans and the JL regularly.
Funnily enough, the first season was made before Static was made a DC universe character I think. So he makes jokes about Clark Kent’s secret identity. Makes it awkward when he ends up meeting Superman later.
im literally dying why did they bully green lantern like that he’s just in his pick me era leave him😭
This movie and this cinematic universe of movies represent a specific and controversial era of DC. The edgier and grimmer take on the world you noticed is a result of that. A lot of these characterizations, origins, etc., have been walked back to something closer to their original again.
why was i getting so excited to see the heroes being born as if i don’t know the lore lol💀
Unrelated news Regular Show is coming back with the creator j G Quintel returning as head writer, feel free to fact check me
Ok with shazam most if the time it's just billy and his family becomes their own version sometimes but it really only billy flashpoint was just being weird also flahspoint RESET the timeline so no one remembers each other besides flash and batman
Flashpoint , what Barry did to when he reset eveything reset the timeline eventually so the Justice league is meeting for the first time & Barry still has his memories from those timelines . Just since the end of Flashpoint the timeline reset itself since Barry fixed it
