KnightWing Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 If you all admit you're wrong and Teen Titans is in continuity, nothing happens. An argument ends. If we were to admit we're wrong, then we'd get at least 10 less episodes of WFP. In the case of selfish vs. selfish, I choose the side with greater entertainment value. Nonononono... Teen Titans should still be reviewed regardless of its stance in continuity. After all, it does have plenty of behind-the-scenes links to the DCAU series. It just shouldn't be literally taken to be in the exact same fictional story continuity as BTAS, STAS, JL, and BB (and Zeta, and Static...).

KnightWing Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 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?

Guest DCAUFan1051 Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 and besides the in or out of continuity fights are funny we all know Mike & James will review TT regardless of the battle of words on here about the fact that it is either in or out of DCAU Continuity. Me personally I only count the following shows: BTAS STAS Batman Beyond Justice League/JLU As far as Static Shock, Zeta, & Teen Titans they can have their own goddamn universe :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I concur with this. I'm not really a big fan of Static (it did some wonky, inconsistent things with its crossovers), and Zeta was really only put in BB for the WB's cross-promotion purposes, but they technically should be considered part of the same universe.

SuaveStar Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 You are SO fired. Fine I'm keeping the nodding Dubs bobble head! Oh and does it really matter if the show runs concurrently with BTAS or before, the main thing is that Glen Murakami was head producer and someone fucked up and included it in the tidbits for that superman episode.

KnightWing Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Could be worse. See, I actually really like the idea of an alternate-universe Super-person literally punching and breaking the walls of reality. In a fictional medium, that makes sense, and is plausible.

grahamvidger Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 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?
