Secret semi crossover between TT and JLU

[minkous]

Dwayne McDuffie mentions on his website of a connection between the TT episode "Fear Itself" and the JLU episode "Wake the Dead".

I'm stumped...I've racked my brain, and I can't find the connection. Has anyone succeeded?

Uh maybe the video store clerk in "Fear Itself" was one of the people who you saw running when Grundy was wrecking stuff in "Wake the Dead". That's the only thing I can think of anyway.

I think the connection is in how the demons from those episodes look so similar to one another.

A DVD of it appears in the geeky trio's doom room beside the pizza and pop bottle in "Wake the Dead". It's there, but you'd have to freeze frame to see it.

Have a good day.

John CageThat's quite a obscure connection, but it's better than nothing :)

It's not really a connection per se so far as canon goes. Say take Earth One and Earth Two in the comics, or any other parallel dimensions, they share similar things. Hell, if you take them as different universes, they CLEARLY share the same if arguably different things (like, erm, ROBIN).

I know there is an urge from some quarters to connect TT, and there is an urge from others to keep it seperate. My point is, I don't see how this really connects anything. No more than having Robin connects them, or the implication of Batman being a father figure etc. The universes share similarities, there is no doubt.

Heck, there is an episode of Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends in which Gatchaman (or Battle Of The Planets) character Condor Joe (or Jason) is in a crowd scene. Doesn't mean they share the same universe... unless you want them too.. which is exactly how all sharing issues in TV should be considered!

Well said. I like to think that Static Shock and Justice League are in the same universe. But I don't think everyone has to agree with that. Someone that only watches one show or the other might not agree with it at all, which is just fine with me.

There is also another small connection between TT / JLU that I noticed.

In the TT ep "Lightspeed", the candy bar Mammoth is eating has "Lightspeed Energy Bar" (http://teentitans.toonzone.net/tt/bios/hivefive/07.jpg) written on it. This is the same bar that Flash advertised (http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/WF/jl/episodes/eclipsed/p1/08.jpg) in the JL episode "Eclipsed."

Small connection, but what the hell. :p

Wow, you must have earned your nickname because of your eyesight. I never would have caught that writing on the bar Mammoth is eating.
