Mike and James should do a Marvel Animated Universe podcast.
-
Here's the thing:
Robin in Teen Titans must be Dick Grayson (and not Tim), for these reasons:
-He is too old to be Tim, since we see that Tim looks to still be 13-14 in RotJ, and he doesn't have anywhere near the level of Kung-Fu prowess and wisdom displayed by Robin in TT.
-The alternate universe version of Robin seen in "Fractured," while nicknamed Larry, is actually named "Nosyarg Kcid," Dick Grayson backwards. There's one instance where his name spins around his body, and when it goes around the back, we can clearly see the name "Dick Grayson."
-Robin's entire character in the Teen Titans show mirrors the comics' version of Dick, right down to his romance with Starfire and the reveal that he will eventually become Nightwing.
This creates a problem, as this makes Dick younger than he was seen in BTAS. We essentially must place this in the DCAU timeline between the flashbacks of "Robin's Reckoning" (where he is 8-10 years old) and the first time he is seen in BTAS, in "Christmas with the Joker."
This doesn't quite gel. In Teen Titans, Robin is shown to be essentially a mini-Batman, having a neverending drive for victory, unparalleled detective skills, and martial arts mastery. However, in BTAS, Dick has none of these skills. It is true, however, that we get a glimpse of Robin's driven personality from Teen Titans in "Robin's Reckoning," but we also get a strong sense of naivete and immaturity, something that wouldn't seem to make sense with a character than has fought interplanetary/galactic/dimensional threats, let alone actually made out with an alien girl.
There is also an inherent problem with the idea of the science fiction elements of Teen Titans.
In Superman: The Animated Series, Lois is at first somewhat unbelieving of Superman's alien nature, which would seem odd if aliens had visited Earth many times before (as they did in the 2nd episode of TT). Furthermore, Superman and the rest of the world know nothing of the Atlanteans until "Fish Story," yet Aqualad had countless team-ups with the Titans. And let's not even mention how the Titans have a spacefaring submarine, yet most of the television sets in BTAS are black-and-white.
It's true that there are some subtle hints at Teen Titans in JLU, but that doesn't necessarily mean much. After all, Mark Hamill has played the Joker in other Batman media; are we to assume that those other productions (such as the new Batman: Arkham Asylum game) are also in the DCAU because of this?
I'm not saying that Teen Titans shouldn't be reviewed in WFP (because GOD I love that show), but I don't think that you can realistically put it in the same continuity as BTAS, STAS, BB, and JLU. Considering how easily those other shows mix together, Teen Titans sticks out like a bleeding, crushed, broken, and rotting thumb.
dude, your completely right, but wouldn't it of been cool if when after Tim Drake was forced to not be Robin by Batman, Tim disagreed and ran away to be Robin with a robot, two aliens, and a guy that could turn into animals? BOOM! the Teen Titans!

I just wanted to ask Mike and James whether they will review it? If so, will you review it on the World's Finest Podcast?
Do you consider it part of the DCAU?
Here is the link to the trailer for the movie we are all waiting for

There is a one big flaw in the "Hicksburg" episode. Why is Zeta wanted and has wanted posters and Ro does not. The NSA knows Ro is with Zeta and they recognize her as a wanted, but they don't bother to tell the rest of America that she is with Zeta and that she is wanted?

While yeah the bulk of it makes BTAS' The Terrible Trio look like The Dark Knight, but it really is the first "Universe" so to speak for comic cartoons (Oh, Filmation had DC and Marvel before, but I don't think there were any crossovers with any of the segments). It still is quite beloved for those who grew up on 70s and 80s cartoons, so as much as Kevin Conroy and Tim Daly are your Bats and Supes, this is their version of Bats and Supes. And the stories did get somewhat better towards the end of the the long run of the series.
Yes I am talking about Hanna-Barbera's
THE SUPERFRIENDS!
Mike and James, you guys should do a podcast on all the live action superhero movies, new and old.
-
Shifting focus away from the more recognizable characters, James and Mike begin their discussion of The Zeta Project. The first five episodes they cover are "The Accomplice," "His Maker's Name," "Change Of Heart," "Remote Control" and "The Next Gen." [ 1:14:02 || 33.8 MB ]
The above is from: http://www.worldsfinestpodcast.com/episodes/wfp_052.mp3
about what mike and james said about agent west not getting fired. well think about how much information he knows from being an in agent in the nsa. they are scared of him releasing that information.

Lobo doesn't sound like anything I'm much interested in, but I like the sound of Gotham Girls. How easy is it to find, for those interested?
Also, going to argue with you on the Nolan thing. I think Harley could be bought in in a subplot in Arkham. Joker doesn't even have to appear onscreen, really. All we have to see is a general outline of him in the shadows, and if people really want the Ledger!Joker, someone can probably do a pretty decent impression. She could potentially be good setup for later movies, but, then again, if they're looking for wrapping up the trilogy, then it might not be such a good idea.
Gotham Girls are on the Birds of Prey DVD set or you can find them online... I have the lobo webtoon eps in a zip folder if you want me to email them to u PM me
haven't listened yet as I've been recording interview but will listen soon
Can you email the Lobo episodes to me, I can't find them online. My email is grahamvidger@gmail.com. It would help a lot. thank you so much.

WFP tried to tell each part that is censored in the rated version of the movie. You missed one, when Terry gets back to the wayne manor, he notices the place had been broken into. so he goes into the batcave to find bruce with a giant grin. everywhere in the batcave there was big purple HAs, in the rated version, in the uncut version the HAs are red (supposedly like blood).

This movie is ok. Its nice to see Dracula in a batman cartoon, since he is important in the batman comics. I do not get where this fits into continuity of The Batman TV series, but like i said, this is ok. Though many of you dislike this show on the Earth-2.net forums, it ran for 5 seasons, that must mean its pretty good.
What i like about the movie?
1. No Batgirl or Robin (they were not good in this show).
2. Not too many stupid catch phrases.
3. Its a little bit more darker than the rest of the series. there is also some bloody parts and some non kiddish things.
4. A cool vampire Joker.
