Character Adaptations

A number of characters originally appeared in the DCAU which were then imported into the main DC comics universe due to their popularity. Many of these characters are now considered by fans to be staples of the main universe comics.

Not DCAU

Not part of this continuity are the Teen Titans cartoon, The Batman cartoon, the Batman: The Brave and the Bold cartoon, the Legion of Super Heroes cartoon, the Young Justice cartoon or the Green Lantern: TAS cartoon. Also not part of the universe are the DC Universe Animated Original Movies that have been produced yearly since Superman: Doomsday (2007).

The DCAU is appealing to fans because the canon is rich, yet still fairly limited compared to the sprawling mess that is the main comic continuity. Although they aired over nearly fifteen years, the characters and relationships managed to stay remarkably integrated.
