Line 1:
'''Daria/DC Animated Universe''' was a Round Robin [[Iron Chef]] in 2021, involving [[Shiva]], [[Charles RB]], and [[Erin Mills]], [[Two-Eyed Charlie]], and [[Brian Taylor (author)|Brian Taylor]] creating 'episodes'. The premise was that MTV shut down the animation department before 1997, selling cartoons off to WB - who then brought ''Daria'' out as the third series in the DC Animated Universe.
 
Thus [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] and [[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn]] are going to Gotham City instead of Lawndale, and each episode of the show is rewritten as a sardonic teen-aimed twist on DC canon. Tim Drake (Robin) - and later, Anarky - turn out to be going to school with Daria, [[Jane Lane]]'s family are implied to be DC-style mobsters, [[Upchuck]] turns out to be cousin of the Riddler, and [[Margaret Manson|Mrs. Manson's]] counterpart is a low-rent supervillain. Over time, it becomes more of a 'dramedy' and Daria has serious encounters with various villains. Each episode has a "Trivia" section detailing fandom news and behind-the-scenes "facts".
 
Various DC Comics characters and plots that never appeared in the real DCAU show up here, some of them altered; most significantly [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarky Anarky] (who turns out to be a student at Gotham Academy as well) and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raven_(DC_Comics) Raven] (who transfers), both ending up in Daria & Jane's social circle, and a DCAU version of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Todd Jason Todd]. One episode has a gag that since they couldn't use John Constantine, they made a whole ''other'' gruff English warlock called Clark Ashton Smith.
