Hey guys and girls, I was looking for color model sheets or "bio" pics of the JL and JLU heros and villians.

If you dont know what i mean by "bio" pic, then check out the bios for most major characters from the past dcau shows, here on this great website, and they're the 'official' 3/4 view pose (usually) of the character, on a white background. EXCEPT JL and JLU dont have this great feature :eek: . JL has some black and white model sheets, but i was looking for color ones, and the few color bio pics they have (aquaman and the manhunters, for example) seem out-of-focus, or low resolution.

I know it all probably has to do with what images were released for mass use or were released as part of the show's initial press releases, but i just know there are people here who know where these "bio" pics for JL and JLU can be found on the net.

I really love those "bio" pics, and suggest people go to the bios of btas/tnba, bb, and stas, here on this great site, and check em out. Cartoon network's JLU section of their website has some of the JLU ones, but theyre not ideal because you cant view them (and i assume print them) on a plain white or solid color bg (they have that space/watchtower pic in back), and they have very few. Plus i think they use to have more but took some off, like i think they use to have the Injustice Gang's bio pics back during the JL run, and didnt they add blue devil, star, and someone else at some point, but then took them off?

I dont know, i just really need JL and JLU bio pics!! Me likey! Any leads? Thanks in advance. peace.

Sigh...this comes up every couple of months, and it often makes me sad that this is the answer I have to give. Oh well...

Short answer, Derek: they haven't been released. For some reason they've yet to be made available to us the same way that they were one the Official Batman / Superman Adventures (http://www.batman-superman.com/) Site. Of course, they never really did the same wholesale release of images for BTAS and Batman Beyond, either, but they did pop up in a couple of magazines that we were able to scan in and use.

Right now the only pics we have are the few that were used on Cartoon Network's official website. The JL and JLU pages have some, and you can get a few more by joining their cToons program (they haven't released any new ones for awhile, but you can cut and paste to Photoshop to make some. Unfortunately, the quality varies, as the earliest cToons are pixelated (compare the Injustice Gang cToons to, say, Blue Devil and Steel). Finally, there were four high-quality pics released a few years ago on Cinescape's website; they were Cheetah, Joker, Lex Luthor, and Solomon Grundy. These can be found at [my] Watchtower (http://jl.toonzone.net/).

The pics from Superbuddies (http://www.superbuddies.net/forum/) and the [not mine] Justice League Watchtower (http://www.jlwatchtower.net/) are fan art...but some of it is damn-fine. I'd recommend checking out the work of Kryptcom, Slade, and SonofJorel to fill some holes in your collection. This is pretty much your only shot to get pics of Galatea, Doomsday, and a host of others...at least for now.

Thanks Dick Grayson and Karkull for those links. Theres some nice stuff and lots of bio pics.

Its too bad the JL/JLU bio pics of heros and villians isnt available the way the other show's ones are, and there arent as many. IMO JLU has some of the most beautiful and sophisticated designs of all the DCAU, so its a shame. I could stare at them all day.

Does anyone have a link to where i can find the newest ones, like Blue Devil, Star, and the others who were released with them? thanks again guys.

Peace.

Here's links to Blue Devil (http://jl.toonzone.net/whoswhojlu/005.jpg), Obsidian (http://jl.toonzone.net/whoswhojlu/022.jpg), and Stargirl (http://jl.toonzone.net/whoswhojlu/027.jpg). Steel is pretty similar to his STAS design.

I dont think all of it is fan art, some of it looks ligit. Like the blue devil and the batman and ww look right. infact the big seven look good, arrow, a lot of them seem like theyre the 'official' pic for them, although the colors seem to be slightly different. hmm...

anyway, you wouldnt have links to the other official JL/U character pics w/ white bgs, would you? the watchtower is great for the bio pics, but they are on ugly bgs and seem small, but it could be an optial illusion from the bgs.

anyway, i can always photoshop them, but if they exist w/ the white bgs, then that would save me the time. thanks again for the info and links. peace.
