Justice League Unlimited

Some cool trivia.

- Hawk and Dove were voiced by Fred Savage and Jason Hervey, who played the bickering brothers Kevin and Wayne on the TV series Wonder Years. Ironically, Fred voiced the older, more aggressive brother Hawk/Hank Hall while Jason voiced the younger, more docile brother Dove/Don Hall, which was a complete reversal of their roles on Wonder Years. It was originally intended for Jason to voice Hawk and Fred to voice Dove, mirroring the Wonder Years relationship, but during the voice over readings they unexpectedly swapped parts and it was left that way for the episode.

-The Justice League's Metro-Tower in Metropolis at the start of the third season is the former site of Lexor City and the future site of the Justice League Watchtower in Batman Beyond's time. Its current design is based a homage of the Hall of Justice from the television series Superfriends, with its shape extrapolated as a tower and pavilion rather than a hall

-During the production of the Teen Titans animated series, the idea of the show crossing over with Justice League Unlimited was discussed several times[citation needed], though no such crossover ever occurred. However, each show has referenced the other several times. In the Teen Titans episodes "Lightspeed" and "Titans Together", Kid Flash appears and is voiced by Michael Rosenbaum, indicating that the Teen Titans incarnation of Kid Flash is Wally West. The same Kid Flash costume from that show appears in the Justice League Unlimited episode "Flash and Substance". In addition, Green Arrow's ex-partner Speedy appears in "Patriot Act". His costume and look are nearly identical to the one he had in Teen Titans (though his Justice League Unlimited incarnation appears to be older), and he is also voiced by Mike Erwin in both Teen Titans and this episode.

-The cast of the TV show Firefly has made several appearances in Justice League Unlimited. Nathan Fillion (Captain Malcolm Reynolds) voices Vigilante, and Gina Torres (Zoe) provides the voice of Vixen. They appear together in the episode Hunter's Moon. Morena Baccarin (Inara Serra) plays Black Canary, and Adam Baldwin (Jayne Cobb) has played three supporting roles: Jonah Hex, Hal Jordan, and Rick Flagg, Jr.

(this is perhaps the coolest. I didn't know all that.)

In the final episode of the third season, "Destroyer," there is a scene at the end where the league descends down a flight of stairs at the Metro Tower. The rows of heroes and the order in which they descend are indicative of generations of the League in the comics: The first row is the Brave and the Bold characters (Metamorpho, B'wana Beast, and the Creeper) and Steve Ditko's contributions (The Question and Captain Atom, and Hawk & Dove), the 7 Soldiers of Victory (Stargirl and STRIPE, Crimson Avenger, Vigilante, and Shining Knight), the JSA (Hourman, Dr. Midnite, Dr. Fate, and Wildcat) the "Detroit" JLA (Vibe, Steel II, Gypsy, and Vixen), the "Giffen era" JLA (Fire, Ice, Booster Gold, and Elongated Man), the "Satellite era" JLA (Red Tornado, Zatanna, Green Arrow, and Black Canary) and finally the seven mainstays (Flash, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl and the "holy trinity" of Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman in the middle). This was the ideal final visual for the show paying homage to every generation of the DC hero teams that were incorporated into the JLU cartoon.

:rockon:

I had noticed the Firefly thing. However, the roll call in Destroyer is right on the money EXCEPT for Steel. Steel shows up with the Ditko characters. Other than that, it's right.

I love this show.

*sings JLU theme tune*
 
On a sidenote---anyone know when Superman:TAS Season 3 comes out on DVD?

I was able to find my favorite animated superhero episode ever! Batman goes missing....so Robin travels to Metropolis to find Superman for help. Superman of course helps....but he has to do it as Batman. So the whole episode consists of Superman in Batman's costume with Robin telling him how Batman would do something.

The best part is when "Super Bat" comes across a group of Batman's enemies and they all comment "Does Bats look bigger?"

Just a great episode.....
 
That's a top episode.

The final :cry: Superman TAS dvd is out in June, along with the second season of Justice League.

I personally, can't wait to see the Superman TAS Darkseid stuff, since I've never seen it and it's continuously referenced in JLU's 4th season.

YES!! That is my favorite episode! Especially when Bane punches "Batman" into a wall and he just shrugs it off and proceeds to beat the crap out of Bane.:D
