Look at Fox's Avengers series...no Iron Man, no Thor, no Captain America, no hope.

That show had no hope primarily because it sucked. Besides, Hank Pym (in any costume) is cooler than Iron Man will ever be.

Of course, I knew what you meant. I agree.

ETA good point, JHeaton. I was trying to think of an example, but I couldn't.

Well, you know, Static wasn't exactly the best known character in the industry, and yet Static Shock is going into its fourth season. I think any character or group of characters can be made to work, given the right script.

My biggest fear in a LSH animated show is that they'd have it emulate the ghastly (to my grown-up, never-quite-got-anime eyes) new Teen Titans show.

[DiePhoebeDie]

I've watched Teen Titans a couple of times (because it airs before JL) and I only like the girl titan who sulks a lot.

[JHeaton]

I only like the title sequence. Much better than that of Justice League. (See? On topic!)

Comics Continuum has more Justice League casting info: here, here, here, and here.

Hello, people. As one who is fairly new to the DC Universe (i'm Marvel all the way- Fantastic Four forever!!) can anyone give me a bit of a backstory on Luthor and Savage? On the animated show, they are definetely two of the coolest villians but I know so little about them. Are they in the comics too? And what's up with Lex and Lois? *shrugs* Please help the rookie!

[rayray]

Okay Seyi, I'll give it a shot.

Lex Luthor is known primarily as Superman's greatest foe. He was
a billionaire who staged a terrorist act to draw out Superman. Supes
then arrested him, which caused Lex to dedicated his life to destroying
the Man of Steel. Recently, Lex became President of the US.

As for the Lex & Lois relationship, they actually dated in the comics.
Lois then found out that he is a villian. I think there is still some attraction
to each other.

Vandal Savage was a Cro-Magnon caveman who gained heightened intellegence and immortality when a metor crashed near his home. I think
he is primarily known as a JLA & JSA villian.

Apologies if any of this is incorrect.

According to this, Dakota Fanning is providing the voice of an unspecified character next season in an episode focusing on Wonder Woman. I don't know if it will be Wonder Girl, because I'm pretty sure I read that she'd be on the next season of Teen Titans, and they probably wouldn't want to include the two characters in seperate continuities. I could be mistaken about this though, of course. My first guess was that she would play Devastation, even though she's not a very well-known character. But I think Ares created her, and it's been confirmed that he'll be appearing this season as well, and I'm guessing that the episode he appears in and the one with Dakota (which was also described as a Wonder Woman spotlight) will be the same one. Speculation is fun. :0)

Still more casting news from Comics Continuum. Scroll down to the 4th story.

Is Aquaman returning next season?

[Vermicious Knid]

If you keep going past that story there's mention of a possible Krypto series. Is this some new superhero I'm not aware of, or are they, yikes, talking about Superman's dog?

[lboogy]

I wondered how much of this is going to see the light. Like someone said last year we had news abour characters appearing and then nada! Before you say a "certain celebrity" has signed on, I suggest be caution of such news. Until we get an official word from the Timm or some of the writers themselves, most is still speculation.

I think too much news can be a bad thing. Why are all this stuff coming out so fast?

[JHeaton]

Is it too much to hope that this is the long-awaited and eagerly-anticipated return of the legendary Space Canine Patrol Agents?

[jolly_roger]

Or failing that, the Legion of Super Pets.
