By Word Balloons has another excellent podcast featuring Dwayne McDuffie, the writer from Milestone, Static, and Justice League Unlimited. It's a great interview because they go back to McDuffie's work on the Deathlok mini-series, Damage Control, and tons of behind the scenes tidbits on JLU. You'll hear about that great Season 3 closing episode with Batman Beyond.
Here's one thing that was confirmed: the episode "Wake the Dead" was a tribute to Marvel's series, the Defenders. I've written in an earlier post about how much I love the original Defenders. I liked this particular episode quite a bit but never made the connection until I read about it on a message board. Dr. Fate is DC's Dr. Strange, Aquaman is DC's Sub-Mariner, and Solomon Grundy is DC's version of the Hulk! Cowabunga! Nuff said.
