How do you guys feel about them revealing the Joker's identity in issue #50 of the Justice League?
>>
Couldn't care less desu
>>
>>81407865
Spoil it for me

Isn't he Alfred?

Or was it Tim Drake, with a microchip full of advanced technology?

I dunno, it all blurs together.

>>81407865
Was it Jason Todd?

>>81407865
He's going to be Amadeus Arkham. Screencap this.

>DC keeps trying to sweep the killing joke under the rug so they can do this gimmick and retcon Babs ever being Oracle

>>81407953
they're going to reveal it next issue, I guess.
Some people think it's going to be Joe Chill I guess.

Wait, so they are going the Tim Burton way?

It's just going to be some bullshit like "he's so mYsTeRiOuS he has literally no identity left, ooooo" and you know it.

>>DC keeps trying to sweep the killing joke under the rug
Would it really contradict the Killing Joke? I mean, nothing forbid that there is more tot the man than just a failed comedian.

Not only that, but the Killing Joke was intentionally set such as it might not even be true but a crazy blurry memory from the Joker.

>>81408228
It's a corrupted Bruce Wayne from a dark future time line who came to the past to wreak havoc because he knew his younger self would never kill him, and it was his only chance at getting Harley pussy
>>
>>81408187
>>81407953
His name is Jared Leto

His name is Bruce Wayne.
Not the famous rich socialite of Gotham Bruce Wayne, he's just some other guy who coincidentally has the same name.

Idiot, his real name is Jack Napier, part-time local thug in extortion business and part time failed comedian in Host TV show.

He's going to end up as a new god or dicks dad or some other bullshit

6:1 this will be it.

>>81408303
I would be okay with this
>>
>>81408303
Lmao, this is real?
>>
I love that literally no one thinks there will be a real and full reveal. Everyone instantly is calling DC on their bullshit
>>
>>81408303

even if they turned his alter ego into OC, you know other writers would just jump at the chance of creating origin/background stories around that character

So, in other words, Earth-13 Bruce Wayne.

What's the Bruce Timm universe? I tried watching the first run of the Justice League tv show and it was just awful, if that's what it is.

You have to watch Batman Beyond Before justice League.

Wrong order. You watch Unlimited after Beyond.

>>81408352
yes

>>81408525
Would it be selfcest or masturbation?

>>81408526

If you consider Justice League bad, then DCAU is not for you.
>>
>>81408596
>>81408630
>>81408639
So my friend showed me like the last few episodes of Unlimited, and it was good. But the first run of Justice League is just straight bad.
>>
>>81408707
From what I've seen from Beyond and Unlimited I liked. The first season of Justice League just had some boring stories and the fucking fight music they reuse for every god damn fight just fucked my ears. It's not even music, just trills trills trills, fuck.

Depends on how much of it he saw. If he never got past season one, I can understand why he'd give up on the show; the first season was mostly pretty bland. The second one was a lot better, and Unlimited was awesome.
>>
>>81408707
>>81408781
When I saw an episode was titled "Blackest Night" I was hype. But the title just described Stewart's skin color. Bad episode.
>>
>>81408762
>>81408781

Aquaman/The Enemy Below should be enough to sell anyone on it. As well as The Savage Time, Paradise Lost (Hades/Faust), and Legends.
>>
my favourite episode was Great Scott
>>
>>81408526

Depends on what you didn't like about it and when you stopped watching.

Here's a quick rundown of the seasons so you can decide whether you've given the show a fair shot, or came in (or dropped out) at the wrong point.


Season 1 did a lot of introductions rehashed a lot of origins. It felt like a bunch of intro fanservice. Near the end of the season (especially the finale), it hit its stride.

Season 2 was probably my favorite season, although I think my favorite episodes came from another season. This is our main group hitting their Justice-stride.

Season 3 was the start of the Big League, using heroes besides the main 7, but without *really* switching the focus.

Season 4 they pulled back the focus from the main 7 quite a bit, and explored more minor characters. It was still quite good, I thought.

Season 5 was them grabbing a handful of heroes each episode, and throwing them at the screen because they didn't know what to do, since they ended the series last season. It's fanservice, if you like those heroes. My least favorite season. I think it was completely unnecessary.
>>
>>81408526
Might as well start with the start.
Batman: The Animated Series, season 1 (65 episodes)
Batman: Mask Of The Phantasm
Batman: The Animated Series, season 2 (20 episodes)
Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero
Superman: The animate series, season 1 & 2 (13 and 28 episodes respectively)
The New Batman Adventures, season 1 (24 episodes)
Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman
Superman: The animate series, season 3 (13 episodes)
Batman Beyond, season 1, 2 & 3 (13, 27 and 12 episodes respectively)
Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker
Justice League, season 1 & 2 (26 episodes each)
Justice League Unlimited season 1, 2 & 3 (13 episodes each)

To complete, though it was directed by an other team, yet still set in the same universe, after having watched Justice League, you can watch
Static Chock season 1, 2, 3 and 4
As well as Zeta Project, after having watched Season 1 of Batman beyond.

>and it was just awful,
For the soze of its cast, Justice Leugue had a few hiccup during its first season, but eve, Season 1 was overall good. you must have fallen on one of the few bad episode.
>>
>>81408352
That's as many as four tens!

That season was fucking great, IMO. it told lots of good stories, and for that alone, I can't call it unnecessary.

>That season was fucking great, IMO. it told lots of good stories, and for that alone, I can't call it unnecessary.

I dunno... It felt like it relied to heavily on character recognition. That being said, I was happy to see a Stargirl episode and the 31st century Legion of Superheroes, but it didn't feel like their stories were anything special.

The role-call on the last episode kinda drew attention to that, too.
>>
>>81408187

Did /co/ lose its shit when they literally made Bat God real with meme magic
>>
>>81409058

I'd say Static Shock is necessary to get the full DCAU experience.
>>
>>81409525
It explain their cameo in an episode or two, but the tone is so different from the rest of the series it can be a turn-off. I'd say, don't force yourself to watch it if you don't get into it.
>>
>>81409567

Season 1 of Static is a tough watch because of the moral-heavy endings to every episode, but once it gets going it's really good.
>>
>>81409058
The whole Bruce Timm verse lasted from 1994 to 2006. I literally grew up watching those.

12 fucking years of shared universe. Is there other cartoons universe lasting this long?
>>
>>81407865
The fact that he has an identity to reveal worries me.

I've always preferred the "Joker was an ordinary dude driven mad" origin. If they're going to reveal his identity, it's can't just be some random guy, like the chemistry teacher who was involved in the last Red Hood raid.

If it turns out to be a childhood friend of Bruce or a relative of the Waynes, I'm going to flip.
>>
>>81407865
To be honest I can't think of a way this could be satisfying and not dumb.

I don't think this is a mystery that needs solving.
