    "Batman: Caped Crusader (Amazon Prime)" Animated Series News & Discussion Part 3 (Spoilers)

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. She looks Poison Ivy-ish, but those earrings are making me think of Thorn. Goodness, I need to get a Season Two page up for Aglets Are Sinister. I'm also thinking about updating the old pages a bit. I've learned a lot about what works and what doesn't...

    Justice League "Fury, Parts 1 & 2" Talkback (Spoilers)

    The thing is that it wasn't me. Apparently, somebody who edits the DC Animated Universe Wiki did, and apparently they had to tweak it to fill in the coordinates that Mister Terrific's head obscures (the first digit is obviously a "5," the second one is unknown). You know, the more I look at...

    Justice League "The Brave & the Bold, Parts 1 & 2" Talkback (Spoilers)

    Let's kick off the summer with an analysis of "The Brave and the Bold," the Green Lantern / Flash team-up that put writer Dwayne McDuffie on the DCAU map! Join me as we review the history of their partnership, numerous Planet of the Apes references, and how many ways the creative team recycled...

    The Fool with the Heart of Gold: The Flash of Justice League

    I was actually pleasantly surprised how the Rogues were handled in "Flash and Substance," as Matt Wayne appears to have extensively read Geoff Johns' Flash run and paid attention to their characterization. I mean, sure, Mirror Master is apparently in charge here -- and obviously Sam Scudder...

    The Fool with the Heart of Gold: The Flash of Justice League

    You can have more than one uncle. In fact, Wally also mentioned his mom in that scene and, in the comics, they are not close. I suspect that the writer took some creative liberties with Wally's family tree. I also didn't mention Flash's "Grammy Flash" in the article either, though I suspect...

    The Fool with the Heart of Gold: The Flash of Justice League

    The Flash Legacy was fine when it was still a generational line. When they brought back Jay and Barry in costume, we just had three dudes as the Flash at the same time. At some point, legacy implies that you have to let them stay in the past and be part of the identity's history. As for...

    The Fool with the Heart of Gold: The Flash of Justice League

    Let's grab an iced mocha and take a fond look at the DCAU's take on the Fastest Man Alive, the one and only Flash. Here we look at his comic book origins, his adaption for the series, and why not trying to shove in Jay Garrick and Barry Allen was a good thing.

    TNBA Scarecrow's Face Revealed...

    Honestly, I figured that they were one and the same. If Templeton added anything to this of his own, I speculate that it was the chemical burn / Batgirl angle. The noose and the hanging was probably from the TNBA creative team and, sadly, I can see why Kids' WB! would reject that as an...

    TNBA Scarecrow's Face Revealed...

    A deep dive into the Scarecrow and his TNBA redesign has been on my bucket list for a few years now. Obviously, the creative team wanted to make a Scarecrow that was genuinely terrifying. Rather than actually looking like a scarecrow, this new version looks like the killer in a slasher film...

    TNBA Scarecrow's Face Revealed...

    I stumbled upon this image on social media this evening. Forgive me if this has been posted previously, but this is certainly the first time I'm seeing it. Assuming it's genuine, this may be the only image of TNBA Scarecrow's mask unobscured by shadows. It certainly confirms my suspicions...

    Spreading Her Wings: The Hawkgirl of Justice League

    I didn't mind the investment in continuity. Considering how they were unsure if they were receiving a third season of JLU, this would have been it for them. And it was balanced by new characters -- Black Canary, Wildcat, Mister Miracle, Huntress, Captain Marvel, and Vigilante all got their...

    Spreading Her Wings: The Hawkgirl of Justice League

    Thank you for the kind words, Revelator. As for your comments, yes, I agree that the tracksuit may be less iconic than the Hawkgirl costume, but I cannot see the flaw in Bruce Timm and Dwayne McDuffie's logic regarding her ditching it. To her, the costume represents betrayal and lies, and it...

    Spreading Her Wings: The Hawkgirl of Justice League

    I may be incorrect, but I only recall Clock King referring to the identity in "Task Force X." People would sometimes refer to him as "the Martian" in a casual, somewhat disparaging way, though. At any rate, if he can get by with everyone calling him "J'onn," I don't see why "Shayera Hol"...

    Spreading Her Wings: The Hawkgirl of Justice League

    How many times was J'onn J'onzz called the Martian Manhunter on either series?
