i like to think its realistic in a way DCAU shows never have been

It's a fantastic cartoon about relationships and the importance of a positive self-image. That says gently caress and has gore in it.

Nobody will be able to just grab a character from another studio and start using them. Copyrights expire, trademarks don't.

hopefully when the full series premieres in the fall(assuming it doesn't get delayed that is) it'll be even better, cause the original comics for the Freak Brothers are amazing and it'd be a shame for their first foray into a non comics medium to end up falling flat(honestly it kinda amazes me that it took this long)

That's definitely better than the Trump one. They're taking the right approach to marketing a new comedy: releasing whole bits instead of cutting a bunch of gags into a trailer without a shred of context.

If we're going to talk about uneven DCAU series then Batman Beyond probably tops them. A lot of the episodes are just supremely forgettable but at the same time you had episodes like 'Dead Man's Hand' or 'Shriek' which gave us this amazing bit at the end:

That's peak Batman right there.

s01e16 "Eternal Youth" is the episode I'm watching that made me realize this, for anyone who wants to check it out. Poison Ivy is turning corporate executives who profit off destroying the environment into trees, so I don't actually have a problem with the gist of her plan, Alfred get's wrapped up in it and that's the sole reason I'm rooting (no pun intended) for Batman.

That said, both I and a friend who I turned on to the show absolutely adore their take on Ivy. Normally the DCAU is like my platonic ideal for most Batman characters, but goddamn if HQ's Ivy isn't the platonic ideal of Ivy to me now.

"I'm not a supervillain. I identify as an ecoterrorist."

That show just slays me.

In technically-DC animation news, I'd like to recommend Phantom 2040. Sure, I can appreciate that a 1994-96 animated series based on a fairly obscure comic character might not be instantly appealing but hear me out. It had a good budget, which combined with character designs by the same person who did Aeon Flux, it's going to look good. The voice acting talent is stellar, Margot Kidder, Ron Perlman, Pamela Adlon (Bobby from King of the Hill), Leah Remini (Carrie from The King of Queens) and a bunch more people with really solid resumes. Oh yeah, and Mark Hamill in one of his craziest roles. The show runner is probably best known for the Flash Gordon animated series, so I don't know how he managed this.

The series tag line is "In the year 2040, one hero fights to save our dying planet". A powerful megacorp is plotting to destroy the environment, withdraw into a protected enclave, and then take over once the dust settles. It's amazingly cyberpunk; cloned organs, androids on the verge of self-awareness... and over it, cops in powered armor, ongoing ecological catastrophe and breakdown of society, computer hacking in VR, AI assistants, sentient programs, and of course a megacorp bent on loving over the planet for a profit. It's also not afraid to go over the top and play it straight; if you want to hear Margot Kidder make a Ren and Stimpy reference, step right this way. The writing is actually really solid, there's some great characterizations and episode plotlines.

The whole thing is on YouTube in good quality, check it out.
