You should definitely watch more of these animated movies because they are just masterpieces and have great stories. The DC animated movies that I recommend you guys should watch next are The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 and 2, Justice League Crisis on Two Earths, Batman/Superman public enemies, Son of Batman, and Batman Vs Robin. There are more amazing DC animated movies but I would recommend the ones that I listed for now. Loved your reaction can’t wait for more.

For some context. Long ago they made a story about the first Robin, Dick Grayson aka the teen titans robin, growing up and becoming nightwing and eventually batman meets Jason Todd and makes him the new robin. He was more brutal and was a jerk and apparently wasn't a fan favorite so DC did something wild and had a vote on whether or not they killed him and got a huge amount of support for killing him. So they did in the most brutal way, with joker beating him to death slowly with a crowbar for days while Batman tried to find him.
Eventually they brought Jason Todd back as an undead called the Red Hood who started killing villains around Gotham and his main motivation half the time is to get batman to kill the joker.
We're currently on like the 4th or 5th robin which is Damien Wayne, biological son of Bruce and Talia AL ghul, the heir to the league of assassins. He is a child raised by assassins so he doesn't get why batman doesn't kill and is very smug. He is not much of a fan favorite yet, but that might change with the recent alternate universe teen titan movies that came out a few years ago

Also, pigging backing off the DC movie suggestions:
- Lego Batman
- Batman vs the TMNT
And just for personal preference, I am tossing in "Batman Beyond Return of the Joker". If you can find the uncensored version, that gets pretty dark for the OG animation style.
If you want a crash course in all things DC, you could always try Batman the Brave and the Bold or Justice League, that's how I learned about all of the characters at first. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So I've never watched it, but I think that "Death in the Family" that was showing up at the end is some sort of "extra scenes" "choice make" cashgrab kind of thing that plays off of this movie. I could be totally wrong here, but I recall some dark scenes of thing that look like this movie but I know very much did not happen in my 2010 DVD ?

I don't know if this is stated anywhere in the comics but I've always heard from different places that the reason Robin has less protection and wears bright colors is because it's part of the training. The theory that they have to be much more careful and stealthy so when they are ready to be solo heroes they'll be just as good or even better than Batman.

BTW in the Comic this is based on, Batman wanted to kill Joker but couldn't because shortly after Jason's death, Joker became the ambassador of Iran and the government had to get Superman to stop him because it would cause an international incident. But, Jason doesn't still doesn't know this because batman would rather Jason just resented him.

On the topic of Batman's no kill rule, it may be helpful to consider it from the perspective that Batman as a character can't "cross that line" because he's attempting to hang onto his humanity and has the potential to become a monster, once you get into "greater good" conversations its very easy to lose yourself "in the mission". Dude is walking trauma, motivated by grief and revenge. Believe me, I get it, the Joker is a nightmare and should probably be taken off the board, but I think it's reasonable for a person to hold an individual ethic around lines they won't cross.
I hope you guys keep reacting to animated DC, it's excellent.

If you guys want more good DC Movies, esp Batman with Violence, I do recommend The Long Halloween! It's two movies that are set in Batman's early years (before Robin) and are really fun and action packed in my opinion!
Now for the fun stuff:
The car Red Hood drives to escape Batman after the Amazo incident is a full on reference to Supernatural. It's the same make of car the two boys drive in the show, just blue.
Also, Gotham actually is located in New Jersey! Little fun fact.
--
In the comics, Dick (1st Robin) grows up and starts clashing with Batman. He doesn't want to be a sidekick anymore, and eventually they "breakup" their partnership and Dick becomes Nightwing after moving away.
Jason becomes Robin not too long afterwards, and after some time he and Batman begin clashing over ideals. Jason learns that the woman he thought was his birth mother actually adopted him, and so he goes on a quest to find his "real mom" after being benched as Robin. He finds her in Ethiopia doing "support work", and meets her, telling her she's Robin. She tricks him into following her, and she leads him to the Joker, and basically sells him out. She gets betrayed after Jason is beat, and the two are locked in the warehouse with the bomb.
I BELIEVE? Jason attempts to free her (and succeeds?) but the warehouse blows up, and Jason dies.
Jason coming back to life was a part of a larger event that is very complicated to explain, and he dug himself out of his own grave, but he had very bad brain damage. He was found by Talia (Daughter of Ra's al Ghul) and taken in in hopes that he could be healed. She trained him, but nothing worked. She snuck him into the Lazarus Pits and then set him on a path towards Gotham to get revenge on Batman, since he never killed the Joker.
The whole Red Hood movie cuts out the addition of Tim Drake, the 3rd Robin. Tim essentially blackmailed Batman into making him Robin because Batman was nearly beating people to death after the death of Jason. Batman stopped being so violent afterwards. Jason (as Red Hood) tries to kill Tim, and fails, but Tim is left injured for the rest of the plot. I believe Nightwing was busy with a different plot in the city he moved to (Bludhaven) so he wasn't around for the final fight between Jason and Batman (too busy having his city Nuked).
In the end, when Batman throws the batarang, he actually cuts Jason's throat in the comics, not jamming his gun. Jason DOES survive after that, and continues being a. kind of anti-hero? He still kills people but he does more good. kind of. DC is a mess and different comic runs really muddy up explaining things. It could be some of my information is wrong, as I might be pulling from different sources.

man, I did not know people didn't know about the death of Jason Todd. fun fact, that death happenned because of a phone vote. people were not the biggest fans of Jason as the second robin so in 1988 DC put out a comic called Death in the Family where an episode ended saying that if you wanted tJason to live call one number and to die call a different one. Die won by a 72 vote margin. 5343 said kill while 5271 said live. he was then dead for 17 years before being brought back in the 2005 story Under the Red Hood which this movie is based off of.

Fun fact: Robin's fate here was decided by phone call when this originally happened in the comics. This was a massive moment in Batman history, and 2 numbers were available, 1 to call to give a vote to save Robin, and 1 to kill him. Supposed claims said someone cheated and set up an auto caller to call the kill number, but regardless he died and plenty were happy, cause people HATED Jason. Seeing him as a cheap replacement for Dick Grayson.

I’m late but I super agree to this!!! This is definitely the way to go!
Yes i agree to this right here. Checked out the DCAMU^
All though Batman Assault on Arkham is part of the Arkhamverse like the same universe as the Arkham Games not the DC Animated Movie Universe. Still a really good movie though.
There's also a lot of good one off movies like
The Dark Knight Reteurns 1&2
Justice League: Doom
Batman vs TMNT
Batman: Gotham by Gaslight
Batman: Year One
Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths
All-Star Superman
Green Lantern: First Flight
Justice League: New Frontier
This! This is awesome!
Do Son of Batman
I know I mentioned these already but I think you guys should include Brie and watch Batman 1989 and Batman Returns. I think she'd like those movies if she wants to see the heroes do some killings!
1:09:49 hey Bruce you know what else is a crime? Vigilantism! It’s almost like you’re just another criminal too!
Superman=Good
Batman=Morally Good
Wonder Woman= Chaotic Good
batman assault on arkham
batman mask of the phantasm
Also, pigging backing off the DC movie suggestions:
- Lego Batman
- Batman vs the TMNT
And just for personal preference, I am tossing in "Batman Beyond Return of the Joker". If you can find the uncensored version, that gets pretty dark for the OG animation style.
If you want a crash course in all things DC, you could always try Batman the Brave and the Bold or Justice League, that's how I learned about all of the characters at first. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
So I've never watched it, but I think that "Death in the Family" that was showing up at the end is some sort of "extra scenes" "choice make" cashgrab kind of thing that plays off of this movie. I could be totally wrong here, but I recall some dark scenes of thing that look like this movie but I know very much did not happen in my 2010 DVD ?
I don't know if this is stated anywhere in the comics but I've always heard from different places that the reason Robin has less protection and wears bright colors is because it's part of the training. The theory that they have to be much more careful and stealthy so when they are ready to be solo heroes they'll be just as good or even better than Batman.
Please watch the following DC related movies and shows (That unintentionally ended up being a lot of Batman related ones)
Justice animated series plus it's sequel series Justice League Unlimited
Batman The Animated Series
Wonder Woman 2017
Batman 1989
Batman Returns
The Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy
The Batman 2022
I’m sure most of these have been mentioned but:
Mask of the Phantasm
Batman and Mr Freeze: Sub Zero
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
Flashpoint Paradox
Wonder Woman (2009)
Batman, Superman Apocalypse
Batman Superman public enemies
Justice League Dark
Constantine: City of Demons
Forgot to ad for dc animated shows I HiGHLY recommend Batman the Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, Young Justice
i couldn't recommend Superman vs The Elite enough. an absolute fantastic DC movie and an amazing Superman movie in general
If you want more DC animated content to go through the Justice League 2003 and Justice League Unlimited is one of the best DC animated cartoons.
Please watch the flashpoint movie I'm begging
If you guys like dark DC, I very much recommend Constantine, City of Demons.
When I told y’all how much I love this movie, I mean that I DROPPED MY MUG OF COFFEE ON THE GROUND AND DO NOT CARE!!!!! BRB, I’m gonna watch y’all’s reaction ✌️
Such a good reaction! I suppose if I came back to life and had the opportunity to take revenge like how Jason does, I’d probably take it too.

Thank you again for taking a chance on the DC Animated Universe as it doesn’t get nearly as much attention as the MCU does. Y’all will not regret one single movie, they’re all soooo good!!
There’s a ton of Dc Content to go through. Some Titles people may or may not like. Batman Assult on Arkham, Justice League 2003 Series, Doom patrol, HBO Watchmen Series, Justice League Doom, The Flash point paradox, Batman Ninja, The Suicide Squad is fuckin Fantastic there’s a lot to choose from but if some beginners need a start into the Dc Universe these will definitely be everyone’s go to Movies and shows.
You guys haven't seen anything yet, some other movies get way darker than this one. The teen titans movies in this style are great.
I think you guys would like Justice League The Flashpoint Paradox.
I recommend you guys watching Batman mask of the phantasm. It’s part of the Batman animated series and is one of the best animated Batman movies.

Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part Two - (Unreleased so far)
The first id reccomend cause HOLY SHIT IT GETS DARK and bloody
BTW in the Comic this is based on, Batman wanted to kill Joker but couldn't because shortly after Jason's death, Joker became the ambassador of Iran and the government had to get Superman to stop him because it would cause an international incident. But, Jason doesn't still doesn't know this because batman would rather Jason just resented him.
Btw, in the comics Jason wasn't brought back to life by the lazarus pit, it was when Superboy Prime punch a hole in reality. Jason was death for years IRL. Jason used to be right next to Uncle Ben in the list of Comic Book Charaters that never came back to life.
I just watched the reaction to teen titans S3 Ep 1-2. There's a reference to Jason Todd when Beast Boy pulls out a board of all the people Red X might be.
Would love to see you guys watch the Lego Movie and the Lego Batman Movie(the best batman movie)
In Bruce’s defense he DID try to kill the joker right after Jason died but Superman stopped him
The next movie I recommend is The Dark knight Returns part 1 and 2. It is one of the best DC animated movies
Some DC shows I hope you react to in the future:
Batman Animated Series
Superman Animated Series
Justice League/Justice League Unlimited
Static Shock
The Teen Titans Judas Contract and Teen Titans VS The Justice League are two really good movies with more dark and mature showcases of the Titans. Also Justice League Dark is a good movie as well, It has Batman working with John Constantine.
You guys should totally watch Batman VS the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies it is so fun.
I second this comment.
Third!
You guys should check out the son of Batman
the order of robins go as Dick Greyson 1st ROBIN, Jason Todd 2nd Robin, Tim Drake 3rd Robin, Damien Wayne 4th Robin son of Bruce and Talia, and I know there is a 5th Female robin but i forget her name. Now also apart of the bat family is Batwomen AKA Barbara Gordon or Oracle as she is also called.
PS: Barbara or BatWomen as shot in back and crippled by joker which there referenced in this movie. Thats also why she then goes by as oracle later
The 5Th your talking about is probably Carrie Kelly for The Dark Knight Returns. But Stephanie Brown was technically a Robin before Damien.
With the Joker I still do not think it is on Batman to kill him but on the state. To be fair though, he has been on death row in a few stories.
Same I agree Joker should die, but it shouldn't be Batman who does it. Batman Is the ultimate Optimist, he believes anyone can change for the better. I think Ideally Joker should die as a consequence to his own actions like in Arkham City.
the thing at the end 'batman death in the family' is an interactive version of this film where u can choose the outcome of the story, there are multiple options and endings
Can you check if Max has the interactive version? The version i first watched it on didnt have it
On the topic of Batman's no kill rule, it may be helpful to consider it from the perspective that Batman as a character can't "cross that line" because he's attempting to hang onto his humanity and has the potential to become a monster, once you get into "greater good" conversations its very easy to lose yourself "in the mission". Dude is walking trauma, motivated by grief and revenge. Believe me, I get it, the Joker is a nightmare and should probably be taken off the board, but I think it's reasonable for a person to hold an individual ethic around lines they won't cross.
I hope you guys keep reacting to animated DC, it's excellent.
Hope yall continue dc movies
Batman Beyond return of the Joker
If you're doing animated DC movies, can i recommend Batman the long Halloween. It has two parts. Batman is by far not my favorite hero but his movies are some of the coolest
I just thought about how people get upset since certain Superheroes dont kill, well why just blame them? these citizens and countries and such live in a world with Supervillains so why don't they have death sentences or anything? But on a side note You guys should check out Batman The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 and Part 2. Also Superman VS The Elite, Superman: Doomsday, and Superman/Batman Apocalypse.
They should also watch All-Star Superman and Superman/Batman: Public Enemies
they gotta watch the killing joke next just gotta
Batman: Year One, you guys got see it
I recommend The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 and Part 2 (not to be confused with the live action The Dark Knight). Since you enjoyed this movie I think you would enjoy this two parter.
Superman Vs. The Elite is the perfect followup to the question of why Batman doesn’t kill; why doesn’t Superman?
I'm glad you guys liked it! You know there's another animated movie about another Robin I also think you'd enjoy. It's called "Son of Batman".
My favorite animated Batman movie. Makes me want more John DiMaggio Joker
Justice League: War or Doom or better yet both
Batman the Brave and the Bold so so good and fun yall gotta check it out if you never have.
If you guys want more good DC Movies, esp Batman with Violence, I do recommend The Long Halloween! It's two movies that are set in Batman's early years (before Robin) and are really fun and action packed in my opinion!
Now for the fun stuff:
The car Red Hood drives to escape Batman after the Amazo incident is a full on reference to Supernatural. It's the same make of car the two boys drive in the show, just blue.
Also, Gotham actually is located in New Jersey! Little fun fact.
--
In the comics, Dick (1st Robin) grows up and starts clashing with Batman. He doesn't want to be a sidekick anymore, and eventually they "breakup" their partnership and Dick becomes Nightwing after moving away.
Jason becomes Robin not too long afterwards, and after some time he and Batman begin clashing over ideals. Jason learns that the woman he thought was his birth mother actually adopted him, and so he goes on a quest to find his "real mom" after being benched as Robin. He finds her in Ethiopia doing "support work", and meets her, telling her she's Robin. She tricks him into following her, and she leads him to the Joker, and basically sells him out. She gets betrayed after Jason is beat, and the two are locked in the warehouse with the bomb.
I BELIEVE? Jason attempts to free her (and succeeds?) but the warehouse blows up, and Jason dies.
Jason coming back to life was a part of a larger event that is very complicated to explain, and he dug himself out of his own grave, but he had very bad brain damage. He was found by Talia (Daughter of Ra's al Ghul) and taken in in hopes that he could be healed. She trained him, but nothing worked. She snuck him into the Lazarus Pits and then set him on a path towards Gotham to get revenge on Batman, since he never killed the Joker.
The whole Red Hood movie cuts out the addition of Tim Drake, the 3rd Robin. Tim essentially blackmailed Batman into making him Robin because Batman was nearly beating people to death after the death of Jason. Batman stopped being so violent afterwards. Jason (as Red Hood) tries to kill Tim, and fails, but Tim is left injured for the rest of the plot. I believe Nightwing was busy with a different plot in the city he moved to (Bludhaven) so he wasn't around for the final fight between Jason and Batman (too busy having his city Nuked).
In the end, when Batman throws the batarang, he actually cuts Jason's throat in the comics, not jamming his gun. Jason DOES survive after that, and continues being a. kind of anti-hero? He still kills people but he does more good. kind of. DC is a mess and different comic runs really muddy up explaining things. It could be some of my information is wrong, as I might be pulling from different sources.
only part way through the reaction but wanted to say i love that you guys are reacting to this. you should definitely check out more animated DC movies they are amazing.
man, I did not know people didn't know about the death of Jason Todd. fun fact, that death happenned because of a phone vote. people were not the biggest fans of Jason as the second robin so in 1988 DC put out a comic called Death in the Family where an episode ended saying that if you wanted tJason to live call one number and to die call a different one. Die won by a 72 vote margin. 5343 said kill while 5271 said live. he was then dead for 17 years before being brought back in the 2005 story Under the Red Hood which this movie is based off of.
Would love to see you guys check out the Batman vs TMNT movie
Fun fact: Robin's fate here was decided by phone call when this originally happened in the comics. This was a massive moment in Batman history, and 2 numbers were available, 1 to call to give a vote to save Robin, and 1 to kill him. Supposed claims said someone cheated and set up an auto caller to call the kill number, but regardless he died and plenty were happy, cause people HATED Jason. Seeing him as a cheap replacement for Dick Grayson.
I recommend the DCAMU also known as the New 52 films they are great
Ehh they’re fine, you can see as time goes on the less money they’re given. I have stronger feelings on quality of writing and art style but I can understand how they’ve gained a loyal fanbase.
I will never make a request ever again holy fuck
Huh?
