The Second Detective Comics Animated Universe or DCAU 2 for short. * This isn't a wild mass guess, it's Word of God. * What I think the initial poster was trying to say is that this show might be the start of a continuity for a new series of animated shows for DC characters much like the DCAU was back in the 90s and early 00s.

What few differences there are seem to be done intentionally to simplify things for a wider audience. * Looks like DC is going in the direction of this guess since they've recently announced a spin off miniser
