Exactly it's all connected (movies, animation, TV, etc). And this is why I don't read comics on a regular basis. Not worth the investment when I will probably end up disappointed. I only read complete stories that fans recommend. I hate DC and WB for doing so much damage. They only celebrate Batman's day on a yearly basis.. the others? only when they have a big event coming out like a movie or the 1000 issue.. ugh.
