BATMAN: THE ADVENTURES CONTINUE - Broken or Beautiful?

## Plot

Once again passed out on the floor, Data James is greeted by a wall of text from an unknown origin, promising his freedom so long as he performs a Will It Canon episode on *Batman: The Adventures Continue - Season 1*. Coming to the conclusion that it doesn't matter, Data James' digiral surroundings are swept away, revealing a door within a Synthoid Grid. Data James walks through, and the video cuts to black ending on "to be continued.." and an upload progress bar.

## Continuity

* Footage from "JUSTICE LEAGUE vs THE FATAL FIVE" Timeline - How Long After Justice League Unlimited?, TEEN TITANS vs The DCAU - The Same Universe? The Same Robin?, SPLICING - Origins of Batman Beyond's Genetic Mutation, and "JUSTICE LEAGUE vs THE FATAL FIVE" - Part of the DCAU? play during the recap
* The date 5/9/2019 was previously canonized in "JUSTICE LEAGUE vs THE FATAL FIVE" Timeline - How Long After Justice League Unlimited?
* Since *Batman: The Adventures Continue* didn't start until 2020, the information uploaded to the Will it Canon program must have come from the future.
* Despite having done a Will It Canon? episode on *Batman: The Adventures Continue*, Data James seems to be unfamiliar with the comic series when he arrives in the future during Earth-12 is NOT the DC Animated Universe...Here's Why
* Data James makes reference to BATMAN ADVENTURES VOL 2 Timeline! The Part-Time Dark Knight, the Batman Adventures: The Lost Years TIMELINE! When Did BTAS Graduate to TNBA? episode of The Vanishing Point, Lex Luthor for PRESIDENT?! "Justice League Unlimited" Timeline!
* The Screen Rant article seen in the Pitch Meeting spoof includes thumbnails from The YELLOW BATSUIT - Explained?, SUPERMAN or SUPER-WUSS? Every Power of the Animated Man of Steel!, and THE JUSTICE LEAGUE RAP (Pokérap Parody). Since the Superman episode was released in April of 2020 (later in time than we've seen for Earth-Prime, and past the point where the Earth-J James and Mattie were sucked into The White Space) this suggests the video was either hosted by one of the Synthoids or they had access to it from a different parallel earth somehow. This is further backed up later in the video as the screenshot of Ty Templeton's comment seen in TheCanoning section of the video is clearly on a Watchtower Database video covering *Batman: The Adventures Continue*, and mentions James' son. Is James' son a synthoid?

## Background Information

### Trivia

* "Follow the Blue Eagle" is a tongue-in-cheek reference to *The Matrix* in which Neo is told to follow the white rabbit.
* James' Dad appears as a variation of James yet again. A trend that began in Mystery or Misdirection of the BATWOMAN? (Animated Movie Timeline)
* Data James cycles through kitchens we've seen previously on the show, including the main set that started in "JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS" - Part of the DC Animated Universe?, the set from Earth-12 is NOT the DC Animated Universe...Here's Why, and the original kitchen from "SUPERMAN: BRAINIAC ATTACKS" - Does it Connect to "Superman: the Animated Series"?.
* The Batcave set was photographed by DCAU toy customizer, Cason Pilliod.
* This video lamp shades the eventual Batman and Harley Quinn: WILL IT CANON? DC's Most Divisive Film
* This video spoofs Comic Drake, Owen Likes Comics, CinemaSins, Ryan George, Casually Comics, TheReportOfTheWeek, Tom Scott, Philip DeFranco, TheQuartering, Danny Gonzalez, and of course @Blendtec's Will It Blend?
* The "Mug in a Mug" gag from Comic Drake's section of the video was a continuation of a Twitter gag Mattie had made which went on to influence Drake to hold a root beer in his own video on White Vision
* Data James suggests that his name may not actually be James, and that too may be tied to his programming.
* The voiceover at the beginning of the Cinema Sins spoof comes from *Batman: The Animated Series Action Figures - New Commercial!* an ad for DC Collectibles 2015 line of Batman: The Animated Series figures. The ad was directed by Justin Michael of *Infinity Train* and *Batman: The Animated Podcast* and features him, Kevin Smith, and Paul Dini.
* The transition between the Cinema Sins and Pitch Meeting segments contains an easter egg for Zeta Month
* The Pitch Meeting spoof calls back to Data James' ability to duplicate himself within the Will It Canon program . This was first seen in Earth-12 is NOT the DC Animated Universe...Here's Why
* The *Mystery of The Batwoman* shot that TheCanoning brings up during his rant was missed entirely in Mystery or Misdirection of the BATWOMAN? (Animated Movie Timeline) and suggests the placement mentioned in that video is wrong.
* Data James hints at future episodes for *Justice League Doom*, *Green Lantern: The Animated Series* and *Krypto the Super Dog*.
