>Kryptonians are plant-like alien creatures
>Kryptonian scientist Vril Dox creates Braniac computer
>Jor-El and Jax-Ur created a way to combine Kryptonian DNA with any alien DNA to make a Kryptonian resemble them (this is why Superman looks like a human instead of one of these alien plant creatures)
>Zod hijacks the research for his own ends and it leads to a lot of conflicts, leading to Braniac needing to evolve into Braniac 13 to stop them
>Krypton is decimated due to Braniac's war against the Super-Hybrid creatures created by Zod (one of which would eventually become Doomsday)
>Darkseid (pronounced "Darkseed" in this) is an alien thief altered by Braniac, whom he believed to be a god

>Aquaman is from the city of R'lyeh and is a Cthulhu worshipper, got swayed to the side of good through Superman flying him up into the sky and having a talk with him during Agent of Batman.
>Blue Beetle is Ted Kord, a conservative black cop from Bludhaven who uses the late Dan Garrett's tech to become a public hero and boot the corrupt cops and criminals out.
>Zatanna is an angrier and darker version of the regular Zatanna. Landis described his Zatanna as having been the "personal prisoner" of Lex Luthor and compared her to Christian Grey.
>Riddler was a Batman foe who stopped a crime he planned during Agent of Batman after having a talk with Superman. He's also the first person that Superman recruits for the Society.
>Nightwing is Dick Grayson, who moved to Metropolis after the massive fallout with Batman. For a while he's mostly vegging out watching Netflix and eating junk food before he's called upon by Lois and Superman to help with a rescue mission.
>Green Arrow is kind of the same origin but he's still rich just like in the Arrow TV show and the pre-O'Neil comics; and Landis described him as going from a dudebro to Billionaire Bernie Sanders. He also has a long lost son Connor and for a while had to deal with a murderous board that took over the company in his absence, one of whom was Dr. Sivana.
>Batman secretly manipulates Lex Luthor into creating the Justice League, which is made up of Wonder Woman, Flash, and Manchester Black.
>Wonder Woman is from an all-female cult on an island where they have a Golden Pool that gives women superpowers and kills men, so the cult doesn't think highly of men. Luthor manages to trick them by elaborately pretending to be Hercules and claiming to be a demigod, saying that if they bring their most powerful warrior out to the world he'll let the island live. Landis doesn't explain how that would work other than the cult being easily fooled because they have no frame of reference for the modern world.
>John Constantine is an alcoholic detective (who investigates paranormal stuff) from Los Angeles that Luthor hired, who discovers the island the Amazons were on, he and the Amazons were later killed by Luthor in a nuclear blast or something
>Barry Allen is a Lexcorp scientist, a brilliant physicist, but is also described by Landis as "a criminal who got caught stealing at three different laboratories" and a " difficult up-his-own-ass finicky nervous rude guy" who also has a wife and kid. Barry freaks out due to an incident at LexCorp involving Superman and stuff that Victor Von Fries told him about Luthor wanting to kill Superman, so he starts thinking Superman and Lex are out to kill him. He panics and steals some experimental armor. This armor allows him to move fast somehow but also leave a trail of some destruction as he's doing it (I'm not very clear about how Landis described all this and I really don't want to go rewatch the video for this), Lex blackmails him into joining the Justice League by bringing up Barry's wife and kid, and in public Lex claimed that they built a robot called The Flash.
>Manchester Black is a UK prisoner whose real name is Reggie Black and got experimented on by LexCorp. Has the power to "shoot psionic waves that can flatten a skyscraper."
>Batman is a control freak who isolated Dick Grayson from the rest of the world because he didn't trust Dick and feared he would compromise The Mission.
>After Dick and Superman had their falling out with Batman, Batman recruited Jason Todd, a 20 year old military dropout who looks like Dick Grayson, and also recruited a Salvadoran assassin named Helena Kane, and a consipacy theorist/religious zealot named Jean Paul Valley. This goes badly for a lot of reasons, the biggest one because Batman has multiple personas throughout his career, some of which he didn't even know he has, which includes Batman, Bruce Wayne, Matches Malone, Batman of Zur En Arrh, Killer Moth, Owlman, some version of Hush, and Bane. Batman doesn't even know that he's Bane or that the original Bane was dead. Superman does a fear gas intervention that makes Bruce see the error of his ways and quit being Batman for a while. Then Bruce forgives Joe Chill and makes him owner of a diner called the Second Chance.
>Joker is a black art student with double PhDs named Aaron Scott, who sees reports of superhumans and Batman and decides he could do that and chooses to be the Joker to cause chaos and murder.
>Harley Quinn is a psychiatrist named Arleen Adams who agrees with Joker's mission, in this one they're not lovers, they just work together.
>Killing Joke happened and as a result Barbara Gordon is paralyzed and Jim Gordon has PTSD and is in a mental hospital
>Shitload of earthquakes happen,
>Joker kills Jason
>riots are going on in Gotham
>Azrael is pissed because rioting is going on during December 26 so he starts mowing down protestors until he's defeated by Blue Beetle.
>Joker is a black art student with double PhDs named Aaron Scott, who sees reports of superhumans and Batman and decides he could do that and chooses to be the Joker to cause chaos and murder.
What did Max mean by this?
The only black Joker I'll accept is the rastafarian Joker from The Batman.
most baffling parts of this

Why does everyone make him American?
Of all the character changes he did that one annoyed me the most for some reason
This is all dogshit. I know this is literally fanfiction, but it feels like amateur fanfiction written by a 13 year old
thats all landis was ever capable of
is an angrier and darker version of the regular Zatanna. Landis described his Zatanna as having been the "personal prisoner" of Lex Luthor and compared her to Christian Grey.
Lmao I get that many authors will blatantly insert their fetishes into their work but really Max? Even after all the trouble it's gotten you into?
I think in a later video he walked that back. Maybe someone told him how fricked up that sounded?
I think it's fine if a little self-indulgent on its own, like River Tam from Firefly or that other Summer Glau character from the Terminator TV show. However, it's really bad optics after Max Landis got hit with the rape and emotional abuse allegations from 8 different women. I don't know if he did it or not but you can clearly see why femme-Christian Grey would be kinda dicey in that context.
>Nightwing is Dick Grayson, who moved to Metropolis
Is this a reference to the original nightwing being superman?
>Zatanna is an angrier and darker version of the regular Zatanna. Landis described his Zatanna as having been the "personal prisoner" of Lex Luthor and compared her to Christian Grey
"I don't make love, Mr. Constantine. I ride hard."
Who the frick is Max Landis???
some guy who's dad killed three people
You don't need a scientific explanation for why Kryptonians look like humans. There's trillions of planets in the universe, Jor-El just picked one where the inhabitants looked like Kryptonians.
Jor-El is the blue alien here
That's right, in Landis' DCU, Superman's symbol is Jor-El's face
This is the height comparison between Ted Kord, Jimmy Olsen and Joker (in costume and in civilian looks)
so is this what Max does with his time now? seems to have a lot of it
living off thriller money
He restarted his youtube channel and is teaching screenwriting
I hate how he gotta make everything tie into everything and have all be super specific.
