Never considered this but damn it's a compelling theory. I would love for Gods and Monsters to exist with the DCAU multiverse. So consider me on board with this. Great video as always guys!

Jack Kirby was a Jew who had certain Jewish influences on aspects of his ideas. In Merkabbah mysticism, Enoch is called Metatron, shown all the secrets of the universe, and the term Merkabbah means literally chariot in Hebrew, but in Merkabbah literature, refers to a Mobile divine throne.

Fun Fact: Back then when Jim Starlim was writing Iron Man he wanted to create a villain based on Kirby's New Gods, more specifically Metron. But his editor said " if you are going to create a villain based on The New Gods based him on Darkseid".
And thus was born Thanos.

The first thing I thought when I saw this in my subscription feed:

Metron: "I warn you one final time, only a twelfth-level intellect has the slightest hope of surviving what you are about to experience."

Lex Luthor: "Then I'm overqualified!"

[deadaccount]

I hope there's a sequel episode of "alive!" titled "Dead!"

[ifigureditout]

I think you may have cracked the actual orgin of Metron, he may really be a Luther

[ItsButterBean]

So you’re telling me Lex Luthor warned Lex Luthor about Lex Luthor threatening the universe because Lex Luthor didn’t want that?

My brain

I like to think that, within the DC Multiverse, similar universes are clumped closer together, and the further you go from the "prime universe" of one show, the less similar the surrounding universes become. Like in Injustice: Gods Among Us where the two universes in that game are more similar to each other, and are thus closer to eachother within the multiverse, which lead them to collide rather than any other.
This is why in many multiverse stories the two universes are often similar despite the vast diversity the DC Multiverse holds; more similar universes being closer together makes them crossing over more likely. Think of them as clusters of similar universes within the multiverse. The further away you go from that universe, the more different it becomes.
If Gods and Monsters is in the same universe cluster as the DCAU, it would be a sort of multiversal neighbor, making it more likely for that version of Luthor to end up as that other universe's Metron.

I'll be honest, that the last two JLU episodes are named after KISS albums is something I never knew and highly intrigues me.

[andrewquick]

Gods And Monsters is one of the greatest superheroes EVER

[KalHadden]

Now I can't unsee Johnny Gat sitting in the Mobius chair telling Luthor to go take his shiny bald head somewhere else before he shoots him in ways he can't comprehend.

[Yungtacosss]

This is an amazing theory! it kind of reminds me of how in the Kingdom Come comic Orion has aged over the years and just looks like Darkseid with hair basically.

[nobody]

It's a shame we never got to see such a sequel

[Killrrockstar]

I high key love gods and monsters because its straight up different people who become the people we know opposed to how elseworlds usually work where its another universe version of the same people

[mariasottiriou]

Wonder Woman Blood lines Blu Ray trailer played before the video started

[tentaclecorner]

not only is this an amazing idea, i would love for Timm and co. to confirm this in a new project of some kind.

[angellicus]

The New Gods we see are only lesser images of their true forms. Their true forms can supposedly crush a multiverse with ease.

[jeremiahmorris]

Gods and Monsters has been part of the DCAU multiverse in my headcanon since I first saw it

[dannybuckle]

I feel like Lex & Metron would get along if Lex could just let go of his rampent xenophobia.

[LowellLucasJr.]

I think a Metron Lex isn't outside the realm of possibly! In fact, I find it very compelling! Thank you for making thia video and for putting me on your list! It was an awesome watch! Also..any word on the Ivy video? I'm missing her soooo much!
