JAMES & TED Meet (For the first time!) | Watchtower Database

For the start of our Emerald City Comic Con week, what better intro than the meeting [finally] of Watchtower Database co-founders James Strecker and Ted Kendrick? Nothing. There is nothing better. That's the answer.

SHAZAM - How Billy Batson Became a Superhero | The Vanishing Point

We only got to see Captain Marvel one time in the DC Animated Universe...or did we? Do we know enough about him from tie-in media to gain an understanding of how he got his superpowers? I mean...maybe. You could watch the video and find out.

Hey, everyone - as requested, I'm going to be occasionally posting bloopers like this for our $50 tier, but I figured I'd share this first one with everybody here so y'all can get a taste! These won't be every video (probably), but when there's something good enough for me to save out separately, I'll be sure to do so. Enjoy.

MARTIAN MANHUNTER - Powers & Weaknesses | Watchtower Database

J'onn J'onzz - the Martian Manhunter...he's more powerful than Superman. More powerful than the whole Justice League combined. So, so many superpowers. I can't figure out something eloquent to put here for the video description. I'm so tired. This video took so long to edit. Comic Con wore me out. Please help. Goodnight.

Emerald City Comic Con 2019 RECAP!

Hey, everybody! Just wanted to give a quick recap on this past weekend's Seattle comic con and thank you for your patience with videos as we collapse back into our [new] regular schedule.

We got a LOT done while the 3 of us were together (for the first time!) -- a "Rise of Sin Tzu" gameplay video, a "Critters" episode commentary (tried to get to "Static Shaq" too; didn't quite happen), and a group podcast were just the tip of the iceberg of new content coming your way.

The highlig...

Black Heroes Matter - Diversity in the DCAU | Watchtower Database

From green-lighting John Stewart to grounding "Static Shock," and much more, the DCAU delivered. Stroll down memory lane with us for a moment as we explore what made these values important to these series and beyond.

BATMAN'S Part-Time Adventures | History of the DCAU

You’ve waited long enough. Have a 2-day-early video. (P.S. Not gonna do a vote for February, but will do one for March. “Fatal Five” threw us off! Thanks so much for your continued support!)

"Batman Adventures" Volume 2 is THE best comic series of the DC Animated Universe...that's a fact. But when in time does it take place alongside the cartoons? Well, stick around, and we may just answer that question for you. (We will.)
