Static will already have met Batman, it would be interesting don't you think?

Personally, I really don't like Static Shock! and would rather not have Static show up on an episode.

Same here. Static Shock is an okay show, but I don't think he belongs near the JL. Thankfully Timm doesn't have to throw in the toekn "young" character now.

Yup. Considering that they've had to work under the "throw a kid in there, dammit!" constraint since the second season of B:TAS, I'm sure they'll avoide 'em like the plague now.

Yeah. While Hawkgirl and WW are younger then their comic book counterparts, I'm glad they weren't forced to make them teens, but in their mid twenties. Actually, aside from Superman, Batman, MM, and GL, the rest of the JLers are in their twenties.
I'm just glad an 11 year old kid won't be saving them every episodes.

Well I wouldn't mind seeing Young Justice, that would be cool
I can imagine the quote now
Flash: "Impulse, well he's impulsive, brash,..."
WW: "Remind you of somebody?"

Another tweak they made is making Snapper Carr older. He was originally a teen in the 1960s JLA comic book, but he's now a mid-twenties TV reporter. It's almost as if they're avoiding the kiddie factor at any cost.

No static !
NO .. NO .. NO .
Do we want to repeat the flaws of superfriends?
Have we learned nothing?
Although I would like mention of Robin on the show.
Maybee it would be cool to show Batman calling the Batcave
to ask Robin to pull a file from the Bat-Computer or somesuch.
But please stay away from any Wonder-Twins type storylines.
Plus , technically Static is not in the same Universe as JL.
Does no one remember Milestone?

I'm all for keeping kids off the show--save for cameos by established characters like Robin, Jimmy Olsen, or Supergirl. I was sick of the WB's edict to have them on all the time. I'm not even that interested in seeing Young Justice on (although a Teen Titans appearance would be very interesting).
Besides, if they really want to have a lightning-powered character, I'm all for having Black Lightning make an appearance at some point.

No.
It wouldn't be interesting.
It's already bad that Static's meeting Batman.
Considering that the characters reside in two universes (the DCU and the Dakota Universe of Milestone Media), I think it's a bad idea.
And the Justice League is the Justice League. No "special guests" outside the DCU.
Unless Marvel gave permission to WBA to use the Avengers (the team with Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor in the mix, not the Power Rangeresque craptacular Saban version) for a two-hour movie, that would just rule.
But I digress.

Teen Titans would be sweet! I'd be nice to see Nightwing back, with Loren Lester voicing. I'm glad Timm is just abandoning having kids their. Robin in BTAS and TNBA I could handle becuase it was natural. But in shows like Jackie Chan when it's forced? Blah!
And Black Lightning on JL would be sweet beyond sweet...

I meant that Static should have a guest appearance, not become a member of the JLA.
I know that if JLA were on Kids WB something like this would happen (like that Batman/Zeta crossover day or Batman/Superman).

Which is why all you fans should be thankful that Justice League (NO "A"!) is only on Cartoon Network and NOT Kids' WB!

Can you imagine a KWB JL series? All the heroes (or most) would be devolved into teens! Hawkgirl would be confused on who she should date! Wonder Woman would have anxiety about "Earth Men". Martian Manhunter would feel "uncool" because he's an alien. All this intercut between "action" scenes wher enothing really happens. The possiblities haunt my mind. Look what they did to the X-MEN!

God I cant wait till JL is finally on the air.
Im counting the days.
Between Smallville, Justice League and the upcoming Live
Action Tick series my life will finally be complete.
I hope the draw bats with the all black cape ...I hated the black cape with the blue interior .
It totally wrecked mask of the phantasm for me .
Id have to say the best animation of Bats was in the
Worlds Finest Batman - Superman crossover.
In my mind Worlds finest was the greatest animated movie of
all time - bar none .
It should have been released theatrically.

LMAO! I pictured it in my mind. It'd be a laugh-out loud hoot!
On another note, now that Bats is part of the JL, do you think they'll mention whether Robin/Batgirl/and maybe Nightwing are holding down the fort in Gotham?
Oh and no Static in JL. Not even guest appearances. I dont consider them in the same continuity, even if Batman & Robin are going to guest star in a Static ep.

Aside from the fact that i really don't care for Static, i don't think he should guest just 'cuz there are already enough heros. And if they decide to (like w/ Aquaman), then it should be someone who has more ties w/ the JL.

I would have imagined a KWB JL series to be just like Batman/Superman and all the heroes would remain their normal ages (present day). But it seems as though KWB is too full for JL anyway with those new shows such as Nightmare Room, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc.

Yup, Justice League and its quality production values would make the rest of that KWB crap look even worse.
Sorry, couldn't resist... :rolleyes:

It's true. Just the previous makes it look amazing compared to junk like Zeta project. JL will just be better because effort is being pured into this. It's not a cookie-cutter "action show" like Zeta.
