NYCC 2017 Interview With DCAU Director/Producer James Tucker: How The DC Animated Movies Became Connected

Interview courtesy of Bleeding Cool's Kaitlyn Booth:

Producer James Tucker has had his fingers in a lot of movies in the DC Animated Universe. In a press room dedicated to the massive Blu-ray set for the animated movies, Tucker was asked about the decision to make a connected animated DC universe.

Around the middle of [Justice League: The] Flashpoint [Paradox] we had another script going for another movie. The bosses at home video DC and my boss, in a meeting said, "uh, we're not doing that anymore." "Oh, really, what are we doing?" And they were like "we want a connected universe." Part of it was instigated by the New 52's launch and that was a huge thing at the time, the media exposure, and home video thought "let's piggyback on that.
