Poll: What is your favorite DC Animated Universe show?

It has to be JLU for me. The series serves as a fantastic capstone to the DCAU. Also there's Epilogue, which is just awesome in every way.

Teen Titans does take place in the same continuity. In one of the Static Shock episodes Static teams up with Batman, and when he asks Batman where Robin is Batman replies that Robin is with the Teen Titans, and that Static might meet them some day (which he never did because then the show got cancelled).Kenbo Slice said:
Also, I can't believe I actually remembered that. I haven't watched Static Shock in at least 8 years or so.
It's a hard pick between Batman and Justice League, but as much as I love batman, I'll have to go with Justice League, that show just had so much going, a great cast of characters, proper season spanning storylines, writing that could make you sad when /Solomon Grundy/ died(!), I mean why they don't get Bruce Timm and Paul Dini to write and plan the DC live action stuff I will never know.
Considering how badly all over the place the DC LA stuff is, you'd think they'd have them over see it, we all know that the animated stuff kicks ass and DC must know how much we love it.

Then why go out of the way to make reference to it at all? It's obvious that they planned a crossover between the two series and the shows just never made it long enough for the cross overs to actually happen.matthew_lane said:

See, originally, Static was indeed intended to join the Teen Titans, but due to lots of hoops that the creators would have had to jump through, it never went through.
As it stands, the connections between the Teen Titans continuity and the DC Animated Universe continuity are tenuous at best, and impossible at worst. Even ignoring the obvious tonal differences between them, there's simply too many continuity irregularities to be ignored (such as the Gordanians, which Robin is part of the team, etc.). Aside from amusing vocal cast choices in Justice League episodes (Wild Cards and Patriot Act, specifically), there's not really anything directly connecting Teen Titans to DC Animated.
Also, this is entirely unrelated, but I'm glad to see Static Shock getting so much love in the poll. I always thought that Static Shock was considered kinda the black sheep of the DC Animated Universe. I always liked that show, and even now there's alot of things about it that I respect.
Justice league and Justice league unlimited. Don't get me wrong, I still love the Batman animated show. I never missed an episode of Justice league.
I love them all in fact I even have all the the DVD's for every show available on DVD. Personally I have to go with either of the Batman's they both play off each other so well. I wish they did more with Static Shock in the continuity way to often people forget he is in there. Hell even in the Beyond comics coming out the author has no idea he exists in this continuity. I even emailed him about it and he had no idea. Drives me nuts since Static is a really fun character who really doesn't get his due credit enough.
Really tough call between Batman:TAS and Batman Beyond. Ultimately, for me, it came down the fact that TAS had more episodes that really stick out to me and that Batman Beyond had a crap series finale.
Batman Beyond...because it was pretty damn imaginative. I loved the future Gotham setting, and Terry was about the best Batman successor I can think of. I remember more of that series than any of the others mentioned, so it gets my vote simply for being memorable.

How could you follow that with this?
Most of the animated adaptations of comics have been pretty good, but DKR and ESPECIALLY ASSman were subpar.
(New Frontier, and Red Hood are my favorites)

You're thinking of the wrong episode. Batman and Static have multiple cross overs. The episode you're thinking of is probably "The Big Leagues," where Batman and Robin come to Dakota, and you're right, Robin is in that one. The episode I'm talking about though is "Hard as Nails" where Static comes to Gotham, and Robin isn't in that episode.aba1 said:
According to wiki the Teen Titans actually were planned to be a cross over (hence the remark in "Hard as Nails," but those plans ended up falling through because the episodes they were planned to be in would have ended up airing before the Teen Titans TV show had actually premiered, so the writers rewrote the episodes to involve the Justice League instead.
So considering the fact that a cross over between the shows was planned, it means that the shows were considered to be in the same continuity, even if the cross over never went through.
Justice League and Justice League Unlimited (voted unlimited)
The other shows are great but I feel JL and JLU have more characters to work with, which gives it a huge advantage over the others.
I wish they would bring it back, or one of the other DCAU series. Young Justice was.....acceptable, but lacked oomph
