DCAU Shorts

 Anyone who knows me. knows I LOVE the DC Animated Universe. So when I thought I'd watched everything from it a few years back, imagine my shock to discover there were STILL 2 shorts I had never seen until this month. Here's my thoughts:


Justice League: First Mission

This was a DVD extra from season 1 which shows the "promo reel" that was given to executives to greenlight the show. Mainly, no talking just random shots of the Justice League taking out a threat. 4 minute films wasn't really worth it but when I'd read what it was about, I knew it wouldn't be. 

Batman Beyond even came out with a short to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Batman. This extremely short cartoon, shows Terry and Bruce fighting off a batman robot, then discovering many more have entered the Batcave. Each one bearing a different look once held by the caped crusader. Sure it only serves as a salute but I wish it would've been a little more. Overall it was just ho-hum.

But now at least I can safely say that I've seen everything the DCAU had to give.
