Happy 10th anniversary to the Watchtower Database @dcauwatchtower.bsky.social

Happy 33rd birthday to "Batman: The Animated Series"! What was your favorite episode? Pictured are some initial sketches by Bruce Timm during pre-production on the show. Crazy, the legacy BTAS has had!

Me carrying Brian to his bed after all the crazy work he had to do prepping for this week's annual fire-spinning festival (no pod this week--sorry, folks! I promise it won't be this way forever! 😅)

What, oh what, did Batman do? Did he get a Ten? ...yes. "Jump on the Bat-Wagon" returns after a several-week hiatus, with Brian's first ever viewing of "Once Burned"! The Royal Flush Gang is back--but will Terry get back with Melrose Place? Listening links below! ⤵️

Somehow missed this vid when it came out. A deep dive on when/where Poison Ivy might have been a plant clone in the DCAU TV, movies, & comics. They talk with the guy who wrote the GOTHAM GIRLS comic & made a big goof about Ivy's origin. Whatever happened that THAT clown? youtu.be/ZC0IAC3urUA?...

Had a lot of fun with the title cards in the newest video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd0s...

According to him, this fellow believes himself to BE "the night." Whatever that means.

Bruce Timm isn't a 100% perfect character designer, but he'll always have my respect for looking at the pockets, guns and muscle-filled early '90s and saying "A superhero shouldn't take more than 5 lines to draw."

🔴 NEW VIDEO! 🔴 Think you know how old all the founding members of the DCAU Justice League really are? The answers might surprise you... Link below! ⤵️

The wait has been worth it. #Peacemaker, tonight, 9 pmEST on HBO Max.

Another milestone! Thank you all SO much! I'll be over here crying for a bit.

Jim Shooter is one of the most important editors in comic history. I genuinely don't think it's possible to overstate the impact that he's had on superhero books.

Covered him in my first run and my opinion has not substantially changed in the last two days. 😉 Kudos to you for using the Dan Spiegle WHO'S WHO art, though! 👍 bsky.app/profile/trum...
