## Resource

Join James (from the Watchtower Database YouTube channel) as he shows his good buddy Brian the entire DC Animated Universe from start to finish for the very first time, in the controversial airdate order--so he may view these shows the way human beings experienced them in the far-gone days of the 1900s (and 20-hundreds). Will Brian become a super-fan like James or intensely regret agreeing to do this? This week's episode: "Sons of the Fathers" "Static Shock" Original release: 12/9/2000 Virgil pressures a reluctant Richie to invite him to a sleepover, only to learn that Richie's father is a stubborn bigot. An embarrassed Richie runs away and is abducted by Static's arch-enemy Ebon. Virgil's father Robert and Richie's dad must set aside their differences and team up to find Richie before any harm befalls him.
