Proper noun
Bat-embargo
- (fandom slang) A prohibition against having the same fictional characters appearing in multiple DC Comics animated series in the decade of the 2000s, which caused Batman's allies and enemies save for Batman himself to be unavailable for the animated series Justice League (although Joker, Clayface and Firefly made appearances in this show) and Justice League Unlimited, and Robin to be unavailable for animated series other than Teen Titans.
2005 August 4, Richmond, “Does the bat-embargo extend to JLU comics?”, in rec.arts.comics.dc.universe (Usenet), message-ID <mCiIe.158498$HI.30430@edtnps84>:Since certain characters are currently exclusive to The Batman, and therefore off-limits for JLU (not to mention Teen Titans--man, the Batman family is getting pretty spread out), I was wondering if any of those characters could appear in the Justice League Unlimited comic?
2005 October 14, Brian Doyle, “Batman villains Q”, in rec.toys.action-figures.discuss (Usenet), message-ID <[email protected]>:But Robin is currently occupied in Teen Titans and I think this is a side effect of the Bat embargo affecting the DCU shows (No Bat-villains in the JLU any more for example).
2006 February 9, Astrobiochemist, “Re: JLU Ep 5x12 Alive! SPOILERS AHEAD!”, in rec.arts.comics.dc.universe (Usenet), message-ID <[email protected]>:Of course, the bat-embargo works out here since the Batman villians need to survive for Batman Beyond. ;)
2007 February 13, George Alexander Jr., “Re: when was the last incredible Superman story?”, in rec.arts.comics.dc.universe (Usenet), message-ID <[email protected]>:Yes it did.I believe the name of that ep was "For The Man Who Has Everything".It had all the main players in it except,Robin.Which was probably due to the Bat-embargo the suits had going on which basically made it impossible for anyone from the Bat-books other than Batman to appear on JLU.
2017, Joseph McCabe, 100 Things Batman Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die, Triumph Books, →ISBN, page 375:But folks were also irked by the fact that the DCAU's beloved Justice League Unlimited, still in production when The Batman debuted, was forbidden from using most of the Dark Knight's rogue's gallery, since a "Bat-embargo" reserved them for the new series, while Batman Begins made the Scarecrow and Ra's Al Ghul unavailable to either show.
