Newsarama has a new article by Steve Fritz, where he talks to Bruce Timm about the last Justice League Unlimited season. If the last episodes you saw featured the return of Hawkman and Luthor joining the Legion of Doom, you haven't missed anything. The rumor is that Cartoon Network is holding back on the remainder of the episodes until spring or summer. The sad thing is that Bruce Timm may no longer stay with Warner's animation division. Superman may join Batman on the WB networks. (I've only seen one episode of that new Batman series and I hate it.) Other rumors for a future CN series include Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes, as well as the Doom Patrol. The Supergirl\Legion combo is bolstered by the fact that there is a JLU episode featuring both, and the Legion's comic book series gets Supergirl as a permanent guest-star. The Doom Patrol as an animated series just seems wild and crazy, but I think it could be good. Nuff said.
Justice League Unlimited: January 2006 Archives
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.
