    And that concludes The Dark Knight trilogy! Still some of the best live-action CBMs. Hoping for your The Batman reaction next! I didn't think I would like Robert Pattinson as Batman/Bruce Wayne, but he killed it imo. I'm actually excited for its sequel, hoping it's also a trilogy.

    Since Bree likes movies with team ups, Batman Forever introduces Robin. And for more female representation as well Batman and Robin introduced both Poison Ivy and Batgirl.

    Okay I'm a new member and I'd love to see more DC content so I''ll be paragraph guy and run through your options.

    For Live Action:

    The four Christopher Reeve Superman movies plus the 1984 Supergirl film. Classics but definitely a product of their time. The first two at least are must watch to be considered Superman literate. The 2006 Superman Returns ignores 3 and 4 but is a direct continuation of 1 and 2. It bombed at the box office and never got a sequel but still has a number of fans.

    The 1982 Swamp Thing direct by none other than Wes Craven. Underrated cult classic.

    We don't talk about Green Lantern.

    The DCEU or "The Snyderverse": Man of Steel, Batman vs Superman, Suicide Squad, Wonder Woman, Justice League, Aquaman, Shazam!, Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman 1984, The Suicide Squad, Black Adam, Shazam: Fury of the Gods, The Flash, Blue Beetle, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Notes: (Suicide Squad and The Suicide Squad are connected to each other but only The Suicide Squad is considered canon to the new Gunnverse.) (There are two cuts of Justice League, the theatrical Joss Wheaton cut and the four hour Snyder cut. The Snyder Cut is, I regret to say, the far superior way to watch.)

    The new DCU or "The Gunnverse": The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker ( 2 Seasons), Creature Commandos (1 season, animated), Superman (2025), Lanterns (1 Season early 2026)

    Then there is the separate "Reevesverse" with The Batman (2022) and The Penguin (1 Season).

    Finally The Joker and The Joker: Folie aux Duex. These are more 1970's Scorsese films that comic book movies. Think Taxi Driver rather than Batman.

    For live-action TV you have the Arrowverse shows, Gotham, Stargirl, Titans and Doom Patrol (shared universe, Titans has standard Teen Titans lineup, Doom Patrol has Cyborg as well as Timothy Dalton, Alan Tudyk, and Brendan Frasier.

      That was getting long. But here's more. This time animation.

      The DCAU: Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Static Shock, Justice League, JL: Unlimited, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, Batman and Mr. Freeze: Subzero, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman, Batman and Harley Quinn, Justice League vs The Fatal Five. (There's a specific episode watch order that's too long and complicated to list here but still makes more sense then Clone Wars.)

      The "Tomorrowverse" (The universe reset following JL Dark: Apokolips War which finished your DCAMU binge): Superman: Man of Tomorrow, Justice Society: WWII, Batman: The Long Halloween Part 1&2, Green Lantern: Beware My Power, Legion of Superheroes, JL: Warworld, JL: Crisis on Infinate Earths Parts 1-2-3.

      Anything else out there is essentially standalone. But I would highlight Batman: The Killing Joke, Batman: Year One, All-Star Superman, Batman Ninja, and the JL: Crisis on Earth 2/ JL: Doom duology.

      Hope all that was helpful and not annoying.

    I'm sure people will definitely explain that Ben Affleck quit for more reason than just not getting to direct his own Batman film, The production on the live action Justice League film sent him spiraling down a path alcohol and dealing with all kinds of personal relationships issues, so he quite at the time to sober up.

    Also, I completely get Bree's whole thing of liking the team dynamics in the mcu as opposed to the one hero narrative like it is here. I was the exact same way when I was younger (and kind of am now) which is why as a kid I didn't get into Batman or Superman the animated series as much as I did Justice League, Teen Titans, or X-Men. The only exception was Spiderman but even then I liked it more when he crossed over with other heroes 😅.

    So for where to go with the current live action DCU, it be both Suicide Squads, Blue Beetle, Creature Commandos show, then Peacemaker and you’re caught up since you all saw the new Superman. Adding the first Suicide Squad is tricky cause Boom is right that it’s not exactly canon because it connects to the old DCEU with Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck which I would still recommend to see you guys watch Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, Wonder Woman, & Zack Snyder’s Justice League.

    In terms of 'The Batman' it was originally going to be a Ben Affleck Batman movie. But as you mentioned there were creative issues and how the DCEU (from Man of Steel to Aqua Man and the Lost Kingdoms, had a very mixed reception. It eventually split off and became it's own thing and it will be separate from the New DCU, under James Gunn. Which if you want to be truly caught up, there is a show that came out before Superman called Creature Commandos, it's animated not live action though.

    “I could not forgive my father until you murdered him.” The replies when I pointed out that it was the same as murder in the comment section of the Batman Begins reaction: It’s NoT tHe SAmE!

    Seriously I’m doubling down. Not saving someone and leaving them to die is literally the same as killing them yourself. It’s not legally the same thing but it’s morally the same thing. Example, indentured servitude and the American prison system aren’t legally slavery even though they totally are slavery. People can reply as much as they want about how wrong I am but I know that they’re just coping like Bruce.

    White Bane got me mildly annoyed with Nolan, the only person of color in these movies is Morgan Freeman and Bane is one of the smartest Latinos in DC comics but this movie made him whiter than mayonnaise.

        That’s ok imo bc it’s to justify her being related to Ra’s who is also played by a white guy and Ra’s getting race swapped makes sense because Batman Begins came out four years after 9/11. Nolan was smart enough to know that casting a middle eastern guy as the leader of a terrorist organization would’ve caused some problems.

      Idk, it doesn't bother me anymore than race swapping a white character for a POC. For example, I think both Samuel L Jackson and Tom Hardy did phenomenal jobs playing Nick Fury and Bane respectfully, but they're both race swapped. There's certain characters that I believe they shouldn't race swap, like Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man, because there's already established versions of those characters who are people of color (Val Zod's Superman, Tim Fox's Batman and the son of Morgan Freeman's character from these movies, and Miles Morales). There were talks a few years ago of Michael B Jordan playing Clark Kent in a Superman movie. That's stupid. Don't race swap Clark Kent when you could introduce a whole generation of children of color to the Val Zod Superman and give him a chance in the limelight.

        Tom Hardy did well in the role yes, but race-swapping is usually a problem if it's taking away any opportunity for a poc actor to get work. Case in point, Bane is usually Hispanic and this film would have been a great opportunity for a Hispanic actor to play in a big blockbuster film (especially when roles like that for Hispanic actors are so few and far between).

        I can agree that characters like Batman and Superman don't need to be race-swapped (especially when you have other poc characters with similar names or gimmicks to them). However, people may be open to those swaps simply because the number white characters in both dc and marvel tend to greatly out number the poc characters. Therefore, some where open to the idea Will Smith (back in the day) or Michael B Jordan being offered the role of Superman, even though I can agree that that's not needed, and an adaptation of Val-Zod or Calvin Ellis would be more interesting 🤔.

        I genuinely dont mind race/gender swaps and it wouldn't have bothered me at all if there was a bit more diversity in other places in these movies. Ra's Al Ghul in the comics is muslim, nearly every background and minor character that has speaking lines is white. I still enjoy these movies a lot, but rewatching them it just feels really noticeable, kinda like Peacemaker season 2, the world feels weird but in this case it's not intentional.
