To quote the watchtower guy, “will it canon?!” Probably not, but we shall try.

Considering Arkham was based on the DCAU, I thought as a kid that they were all three connected.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but Clayface’s bio thing in the DS version of Lego Batman 1 refers to him as “Treasure hunter Matt Hagen” so this could mean that the handheld and console ports of the first game are slightly different universes, meaning it’s possible that the handheld versions could still be canon

Shout-outs to that one DLC level in LEGO DC Supervillains that straight-up retells the events of "Mask of the Phantasm," I guess. Sure, the movie tie-in DLC Levels aren't canon, but it's neat that it happened, period.

Another thing against Lego Batman 3 is them saying Brainiac is from Colu. In the comics that’s how he is, a scientist from the planet Colu, but in the DCAU he’s an AI from Krypton.

In the ds version of Lego Batman, clay face is Matt Hagen, but his backstory is different from the show, instead of an actor he’s a treasurer

Joker's origin in Batman 1 is inconsistent with BTAS - he was never Red Hood, just a local hitman for a big gang in Gotham.

I always thought the LEGO Games continuity worked like a parallel to the current comics but that would open another can of worms, trying to make everything cohesively fit

my favourite DC lore expert, covering the only lore that matters.

There's 11 different people who took on the mantle of clayface in main continuity of the comics, and many of them have overlapped with each other, with there actually being a storyline with 3 different clayfaces working together and two of them having a child making 4 clayfaces to be featured in the same story (Batman: the Mud Pack)

Lego batman 1 and 2 doesnt have timm drake, its robert! 😂

If you use Watchtower Database, and even the shows themselves, than we know Hal Jordan can’t be a Lantern during the first run of JL. And that he doesn’t become a GL until after the episode, “The Return” in JLU, due to us learning that John and Kyle are the only human Lanterns. And if we preface that Lego Batman 2 takes place right after Secret Origins, than the JL roster just doesn’t match. And we know that the JL doesn’t get new members til after Starcrossed. 13:30 this does not happen in DCAU canon. And we see that the Kryptonite that Batman does keep to stop Superman most likely came from the chunk he took from Lex in “Injustice Society” In the DCAU, the Joker was never the Red Hood. And was instead a hit man for the mob. We even see he wasn’t in a costume when he fell into a vat of acid. I know this video was for fun, and to see if the subject was even possible. So no hate. In my opinion, it just seems that the creatives of this game were heavily inspired by the DCAU. This universe is no more canon than the Keaton-Verse is to this series. And if we include the Lego Movies and Lego DC Supervillains, than this really becomes a mess when trying to merge it with DCAU’s lore and timeline

Your friends/peers: graduate You: looks through LEGO games You clearly have better taste. Plus as a fellow LEGO fan, I love your DC Timeline videos. Keep em up!

I thought this was gonna be about connecting the DCAU to The Lego Batman Movie I completely forgot their were games!

I mean, The Batman 2004 had two Clayfaces. It's one of the main reasons why I believe that show and Teen Titans to coexist- Killer Moth is another villain who could have two people under separate identities.

There's 1 crucial evidence that can make or break the Barry Allen being Lego Batman 3's flash The fact that Kid Flash exists in the base game no DLC character roster, the ginger kid Flash, it could either be a canon thing, or it can just be there to fill out the roster like... Idk? Arkillo or smth? Actually no wait, since STAS takes place before LBM3 (in this hypothetical timeline), it wouldn't make sense since that Flash is Wally, so this Kid Flash is either an imposter or he's not canon

I'm going to say that the Lego DC universe is next to the DCAU but not connected to each other

Unrelated but your hair is amazing

i forgot how long ago i started watching u (probably around 3 years ago) but i love the effort u put into these. i'm the type of person that is fascinated by small obscure things that not many people would care about and i think this is a very cool theory well done

I hope the next Lego Batman game will give Jason Todd red hood a more extensive role in the game. I mean imagine voice line interactions. You have joker saying how he passed the red hood mantle down and Jason says “how by beating me to death?” Also just stuff with other characters like black mask should have voice lines and says the quote from the animimsted movie and says how he wants him dead like head mounted on my wall dead and Jason just says he can arrange it to go the other way. Just I think Jason should have a voice and same for black mask as I think a new game should just be Batman. I mean he has the bat family with nightwing, red hood, Red Robin, batgirl, and Robin. Also nowadays we can get more villains like black mask, ras a gouhl, Hugo strange, kite man, condiment king, calendar man, victor zsaz, and the ventriloquist and Scarface all having some big roles with the modern game scopes.

I think everyone who watched the shows and played the games somehow connects them, I even made a mod switching the score of 1, 2 and Beyond to their DCAU counterparts.

Some of the greatest facial hair in all of Lego Videogame RU-vidrs

I never suspected that these two great universes could be connected, but it would be great if they were, clayface you...

also, in Lego batman 1 it says joker used to be red hood, yet in the DCAU he was just some gangster, name dropped by an asylum doctor as Jack Napier, very much like 89. we never see him wear the hood, and in the episodes featuring hack ryder becoming the creeper, we see a recreation of him falling in acid, and he was still a gangster, no red hood in sight.

I would love to have a philosophical conversation about legos with you man

always a good day when bd1p uploads🔥

my guy didn't even mention that the main plot of LEGO Batman 2 was Lex Luthor running for President, which was a crucial plot point in JLU

In Lego Batman 1 it says that red hood fell into the vat of chemicals and became the joker while in the dcau joker also was a gangster but more like Jack Napier although his name isn’t confirmed.

Those BTAS would be cool to have, as I just got into the series.

Would you consider making a timeline for Lego Marvel. (The 2 superheroes games and the movies)

What if there are two different guys who had a similar accident and turned into a villian called clayface, kinda like with flash?

feels like these are alternate universes of each other, the events of one happen in the other but slightly differently like with the identity of the flash

I love when he does videos like this

I always forget that I have Lego Batman 1-3 just lying around on my shelf.

Whoo! New video out lets go🎉

awesome Ron DeSantis reference in your video about the Lego Batman video game lol

We know hall exists but also hawk girl did leave the team and she could also no be out side the planet but cyborg that is the biggest issue for lbm 2

thank you for your existence and thank you for making videos only 10 year old me would request once and then forget ❤️❤️❤️

I think you have more knowedgle and understanding over lego batman universe than TT itself

I’m just picturing Lego minifig characters in the animated series interacting with all the characters😂

I'm not joking when I say this: this is probably my favourite video of yours

Well, the games make multiple references to the fact that the characters are made of LEGO, and the DCAU is not made up of LEGO people, so I'm gonna say it's a hard no, but this was a great video that had me questioning a lot of what I knew about both the DCAU and Batman Lego games

Car seat headrest in the background

Why did I even watch this, its incredibly obvious that they dont link together at all

I wonder if the Lego Batman games are canon to The Batman 2004 show. Because of character designs like Firefly.

This is interesting to me as Lego Batman 3 and super villains feature Batman beyond and BTAS character packs respectively, I guess these could just be seen as non canon DLC or something but an interesting note nonetheless.

This is a amazing theory but no matter what the lego Batman series is not connected it's obviously it's own earth or alternative universe just like the Lego marvel 1 and 2 is different from any adaptations in comics shows or movies they are there own things

finally some good fucking content

batman animated series video game plus lego sets sweet idea! i'd buy the game and the sets if they realeased!

17:17 Music name? I’ve been looking for this everywhere.

Guess We will have to wait There a still a few universes in the 52 left that got a big ? On them

aw sweet, bullets vinyl

I love your vids bd1p your my only subscriber other then my friends / family keep up the good work your the best man 🫶

Killer Moth Wooooooooo

While I do appreciate this your video, I just simply don’t think the LEGO Batman Games are canon to the DCAU Lore. Sure, LEGO Batman 1 takes a lot of cues from the Animated Series and it’s sequel the New Animated Adventures, but it also took cues from the comics at the time, as well as using music & references to the Old Batman movies of the 90s. Not only that, but Batman Stories using DCAU lore’s very common. With the Arkham Games initially using Mad Love as the origin for Harley Quinn before Arkham Origins retconned it (Not to mention Batman says the iconic “I Am Vengeance, I am the Night, I am Batman” line in the Joker nightmare scene in Arkham Knight.), and the comics would later integrate their own spins on the DCAU lore throughout the 2000s & 2010s. That doesn’t mean all of them are canon to the DCAU, I just think the DCAU had reshaped DC that of course they’re gonna reference them into other media in some way. Bottomline, the LEGO Batman Games don’t really have much deep lore, but its just great that the games references other DC Media into their games.

Here’s my theory The dcau as a show exists in the LEGO Batman timeline Plus some events that happened in the DCAU even happened here just the ones that don’t contradict anything and were listed as events that actually happened in Lego Batman, the video game and of course, one more thing The DCAU and the Lego Batman games are not in the same universe however, according to my theory, the dcau exist as a show and sadly nothing more than that here’s why the joker didn’t wear the red hood costume which implies that he was never the red hood in the DC animated universe.

you missed something big! Lego Batman 1 DS version of Clayface is Matt Hagen not Basil Karlo, which means The Handheld Version could be DCAU Canon instead of The Console Version

❤

why not call it an alternate canon lego universe? i mean, thats always as what i viewed it. its mainly the same with minor differences. just like an alternate dimension

Did he ever consider what happened to clayface in the ds version of lego batman 1?

I mean tbf it ain’t that much of a leap to assume there’s two clayfaces, isn’t there like 3 or 4 in the comics lol

I hope so, Polka dot man should exist in every version of batman

also lego batman the video game is based off the movies from 1989 to 1997 but with btas characters insted of movie characters

Wasn’t Barry in the Superman episode where they race each other?

OMG OMG OMG! I have seen this and watch this video with Michomeless JackSmokin and Billie Griffjean BPG on RU-vid and it was awesome! I love Lego Batman, the Batman comics, the DCAU and the guy talking about LEGO Batman and the DCAU! I love the clip where Tim Drake sounds like Scott Menville! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As long as the logic of the infinite multiverse exists in DC, then yes its canon.

The soundtrack is from the Burton movies, it was just reused for the animated series and lego batman Also Kid Flash is in Lego Batman 3 so Flash is very clearly Barry

2 clay faces at the same time has happened in The Batman (2004) so I mean…

I'd argue Lego Batman is just another AU of the DCAU, basically a parallel universe that follows the same timelines, but subtlety different.

Bd1p kinda looks like Matpat

What about the movies?

does this mean man is canon? are we stupid?

The Lego dc games and the Lego dc movies are a completely different contenunoty I know I spled that wrong.

14:30 It was written by some Allen Burrnet and Paul Dini, so it is canon

huntress is in lego batman the video game by using the custom character creator

So thats why Matpat retired, he left us for bruce! I wouldnt even blame him tbh hes so handsome and useful unlike a certain "sidekick"

TheGreenPuff!

11:14 no it could be after she left the team

19 minutes I’ll never get back, u win tho I watched it video 😞

the music is from batman (1989) sorry.

So if Lego Batman 3 actually takes place before Dimensions then why do the weeping angels appear in Lego Batman 3 🤔

WOOOOO CLAYFACE MENTIONED 🗣🗣🗣 WHAT THE FRICK IS A CANON BREAK ‼‼‼

Dammit clayface why

I think brainiac is an unlockable in lego batman 2

Hey

Hi

Short answer: "No." Long answer: "It'd be hard to find anyone who.........

Bricky

But will it canon?!?!

Did you know that Lex Luthor is just the jeff bezos

batman was one of the foyunders of the league he built the watchtower lb2 can't be canon

😮

LEGO Batman is the only Canon Batman

What.

Than by that logic, is LEGO Batman canon to the Tim Burton movies? No they’re not… they just the theme… that’s it.

3 words: Will It Canon?

After suicide squad kill the Justice league. I really needed some BTAS/DCAU so thank you 😢😊
