View Full Version : IF or WHEN the DCAU says farewell, how should they capture the last scene?

As much as anyone here, I'd hate to see the JLU come to an end. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it won't end, but I'm not holding my breath either. But if or when it does end, how should they capture the last and final scene? Should they make it a sentimental one? Should it be action packed? Should it end asking more questions? Should it be a tribute to the fans? What character would you like to see last? What would you like to see?
As my 1000th post, I thought I'd create something a bit more sentimental than usual. Let's see how creative us JLU fans can get. Please don't post "I wouldn't end it." Thanks guys... looking forward to your responses. :)

I think it should end with a bang, but with the idea that the adventures are not over. Something that gives us the idea that JLU will go on to fight another day.
We all know that no hero ever ends. Superman and Batman TAS are both still running. You never got a real "final" episode in any series. We know the adventures will go on. Just like in the comics, there will never be a final episode of Batman and Superman. The same goes for Justice League.
As for cartoons, I am sure JLU will return in DVD specials. I'm also sure Superman will return in The Batman universe and eventually the other heroes will show up. JLU has set the bar for any future DC cartoons. To me, JLU will go down in history as the greatest Superhero cartoon series of all time.

I think it just be a bunch of short scenes showing the league helping people around the world. Showing that ther still continuing the fight.
As for the last scene
For some reason I see Batman and Green Arrow having a conversation just on top of a building. Just them talking about the state of the JLU....
then you hear police sirens.
Green Arrow looks down then back at Batman, and is about too say something but realises Batman has already gone without him even noticing.
he smirks then jumps down and joins the fight.
Since The Call was a mess, I want them to show us, before we see that final scene, 3 things:
1. Why Batman really quits the League (I dont think its because he got old)
2. What happens to Wonder Woman, Aquaman & Martian Manhunter (since they are gone in The Call)
and 3. I want Lois to find out Superman is Clark Kent
Ok, if we do get that before the final episode airs Id like the last scene just something like the last scene with Terry in Epilogue. Id like the big 7 having a conversation, talking about their friendship and suddenly receiving a help signal and they all go to work...:p...maybe they wont do it this way, but Id like something just like it, so we can see how the JLU will keep fighting crime for a long time (since the JLU exists in BB) :)

Here's how I see the final scene (and I KNOW some will hate me for even suggesting this...):
The founding members, which where initially seven, now have seats for Aquaman and Hawkman at the big conference table where all are seated, with the exception of the empty chairs where Superman and Green Lantern would be.
There is the murmur of several smaller conversations between the heroes, all referencing a battle which took place earlier in the episode. The talk is of a hero who helped turn the tide of what may have been a catastophic loss.
The door to the conference room slides open, and all heads turn to watch Superman stride proudly into the room.
Superman: "I know we're all pretty exausted after what happened earlier today, and I promise this won't take long. It is with great pride that I present our newest addition to the Justice League..."
The Man of Steel slowly steps aside as the camera pans down to the floor of the doorway. We see familiar green boots, and a black bodysuit, with white gloves underneath a glowing green ring on the middle finger of the right hand. The camera continues to pan upward to the face of a man in his late thirties, who appears to look a bit older due the graying hair around his temples. He walks confidently through the doorway, smiling as he stands next to Superman.
Superman:"...the new Green Lantern of sector 2614, as well as the man who helped us when we needed it most... Hal Jordan."
In the blink of an eye, the Flash bursts up to greet Hal. The camera follows the Flash's hands into a mock picture frame that the Scarlet Speedster's fingers form.
Flash: "Hal Jordan! You've just become the new Green Lantern, saved the universe, AND joined the Justice League! How does it feel?"
Hal looks briefly around the room at the heroes, as if to ask "is he serious?". Several of the heroes smile back in response. Hal shrugs his shoulders and smiles.
Hal: "Like I'm exactly where I belong."

Uh...no. Give a character that had absolutley no impact on DCUA whats so ever his own finale for Timms universe? I don't think so...

They decide to go do it together, but not before Superman looks at Batman and says, "C'mon, Bruce. Dr. Destiny should take five minutes. Ten tops." Batman smiles, and they all race off to get on a Javelin. It gives us a nice moment with our heroes, while it reminds us that -- no matter what just happened -- they'll always be there fighting the fight.

You know how they did Batman Beyonds "The Call" to warm everyone up to the idea of a Justice League series?
How about adding a new member to the JLU to try and kick off another series.
(Scene of the Big 3 standing before the rest of the League.)
Superman: Everyone, we have a new member of the Justice League...
(Freakazoid teleports into the Watchtower.)
Superman: Oh...and Creeper? Yeah. You're fired.
This paves the way for the new JLU, Justice League Unnecessary.

I do like the earlier idea of Batman and Superman having a dialogue, maybe in the Watchtower. Talking about how far they have come and they can really see all that they have accomplished together. Then the alarm sounds and both to them race off to the teleporters to meet up with the other original Justice League members to save the world.
This give them an homage that there would not be a JL/JLU without Batman TAS and Superman TAS. End the series the way it began.

That was my first thought as well, to have Bats and Supes be the last hero's seen on screen. However I think that's a bit unfair to the big seven. Maybe have the scene like someone wrote earlier, only instead of Hal Jordan have J'onn J'onnz joining back up with the league? I don't know, I'm sure Timm won't let us down.

Perfect. I loved the way Morrison ended his run. It honestly felt like the best series finale I'd ever seen/read, and would have been a perfect ending for the JLU comic (even if we all knew it was coming back next month).
I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE to see this adapted. I'll work on getting it scanned since it's such a fantastic ending -- it wrapped everything up but let's you know there's more adventure on the way.
EDIT: Here are the closing moments of Grant Morrison's run on JLA, with art by Howard Porter -- They had just finished saving the world from an earth destroying weapon that the run had been building up to since the prelude mini-series in the summer of 1996:

I don't know, there's something really cheesy (in a stinky feet kind of way) about ending with the "battle goes on" scene.
Look at Starcrossed...there was the appropriate "We'll rebuild" sequence followed by the much more affecting "Was it all a lie" parting. Without that second sequence, it wouldn't have been much of a way to send the team off.
In "Divided We Fall" there was the gag-enducing "The world needs you Superman" sequence which really came off as cheesy and sappy and tacked-on. It's not that I wouldn't want to see that kind of sequence...it's just that it has to work in the overall context of recent events. Shayera inadvertantly betraying the League and then helping them, and choosing to walk away in shame...that was the right moment for an uplifting "Okay, so let's try and keep going" moment. But after seeing Superman beat the snot out of various characters (both good and bad) all season, I really didn't need the entire DCAU to give him a big hug, and then see him go back on his seemingly genuine farewell with a sudden "Okay here's what I'm thinking for the Javelins and Metro Tower". That didn't work. The last scene with Lois kinda worked for me because I love Lois and Clark, even though her "whatever" attitude towards Superman's insanity struck me as seriously unmerited (again, it could have worked much better if Supes hadn't become a rageaholic). My point is that the second scene really tied things up better than the first one.
Soooo....

Well...because this is JLU, I think that last scene should be at the tail end of an epic battle between The Legion of Doom (every member ever) on one side and all the superheroes(like, all of them). The superheroes, fatigued and wounded from defeating an army led by Darkseid's(or another one of those generals from Apocolypse) who had joined the Legion. Superman walks into the forefront, battered but vigilant, with the other original 6 right behind him as the all the Legion of Doom members show up.
Superman looks at the vast army of Apocolypse's soldiers and Supero villains in silence, and Batman says "What do you think?"
And Superman replies without falter "We'll never let Earth down."
And then Batman charges with his sword/baterang hybrids in each hand(Like what he had in Dark Heart) And Superman man takes off into the air and hovers for a moment as the other heroes who can fly zoom past him, and the ones on the ground race off to follow Batman's lead.
Superman looks onto the Legion and sees Luthor (in that mechanical suit he used to wear, maybe a modified one, or maybe as Luthoraic again). They lock stares for a moment, and Superman zooms ahead of the rest of the League, fist raised and ready, preparing to take out Luthor. And just as Luthor and Superman are about to connect with their fists, right before the League and the Legion collide for final battle, the screen cuts out.

This might be a bit of a long shot, but what if the final episode is the marriage between Clark and Lois? In the comics, Superman consults with Batman just before the ceremony about all the people attending the wedding, then questions who will watch Metropolis (considering all the heroes are in a concentrated area, it would be an easy target for any super villain... not to mention ruining Lois and Clarks special day.). Then Batman points to the sky and says, "We've got it covered" then you see the skies fill up with all the remaining heroes of the Justice League including the whole Teen Titans group. It seems suitable for the JLU theme if you ask me.
Just my $0.02 :D

Eh... One reason why I liked the ending of "Divided We Fall" is that despite everything that happened we still knew that Lois and Clark would still be at the Planet, just like old times, working on stories and such. We all know they're going to get hitched down the line -- it's like having Two-Face recover. Once you tell that story you limit what other stories you can tell with the current set-up.
That said, I wouldn't mind it if Clark told Lois he was Superman, but only after Lois had given into "Smallville's" charms on her own.

Ending it with Clark and Lois getting married despite them only at the dating stage would be a bad way to end the series. It would be very cheesey and pretty lame to end the show with this since this wasn't even focused on the show save for a scene or two over 39 episodes. A quiet scene at the Daily Planet might work but keep the marriage out of this. I'd rather see the show end something like Angel where we see the heroes run back out into battle to continue their fight against evil. It's a very simple and heroic image that says everything about the show and the entire animated DC Universe.

Let's just have the heroes pose and run off while proclaiming they still have work to do. Maybe with some brassy music in the background...

And I suppose you felt the same way about John and Shayera closing out the Justice League series? No because season two of Justice League was obviously about Green Lantern and Hawkgirl. That was very clear and that made for a great emotional finale. However JLU isn't about Clark and Lois. She's barely made a couple appearances and that's it. They aren't the focus of these final episodes and not every JLU viewer watched STAS so to have them end the series with a marriage would be pretty anti-climactic and out of left field. JLU is not Clark and Lois' story. Leave that marriage/relationship stuff for the STAS DTV.
But this is just my opinion. I hope the creative team surprises us with something great when episode #39 comes down the pipeline.

Spider-Man, the John Shayera thing wasn't a big deal throughout the whole second season. Was it in the minds of the creators as they went along? Yes. They told us it was. But if you just watch the show from Twilight to Starcrossed the John/Shayera stuff doesn't really start happening until Comfort and Joy, which is the third-to-last storyline in the season. It was a secondary plot. It wasn't the point of Justice League.
And neither was Batman Beyond. Epilogue was the creative team writing the story they wanted to about Terry, and tying it into the Justice League show.
So I totally fail to see how ending the underdevelopped Lois/Clark/Superman love triangle at the end of JLU would be innappropriate.

Because this is a show about the Justice League, the characters you mention are all Superman related (hell, 2 of them are Superman!)
I'm not sure how I would want the show to end. I actually thought the ending to Divided We Fall was utterly fantastic, with the world appreciating thier actions and Superman's speech. Overcoming thier own fears (evil vesions of themselves) will make this very difficult to top.
I'm greatly looking forward to seeing how they do it, God willing, it won't be some stupid stunt to promote The Legion Of Superheroes.
I'd prefer an ending that's both emotional and explosive...a huge bomb destroying Justice Leaugue HQ! Talk about going out with a bang ;) Seriously, whatever it is, I wouldn't want it to be overly maudlin.

as someone mentioned earlier, justice league unlimited would not be around if it wasn't for the original superman and batman animated series. and let's face it, superman the animated series wouldn't be around if the one, the only, that started it all, batman the animated series, was never created.
so really, i think it's got to go out in reverse order. in some sort of scenario where the whole entire league are congratulating each other on saving the universe again, this time, came really close to losing earth.
as the crowd starts to one by one, teleport out of the satellite, eventually, the only leaguers left are the original 7.
the first to leave is martian manhunter. he thanks them, in giving a chance to save his new planet, his new home. and talks of the original leaguers as his brothers and sisters.
second to leave would be the flash. always a wise cracker, he'll have his quick sentimental say, and leave flash style, with some crazy joke as he leaves.
next would be both hawgirl and green lantern. for obvious reasons. they simply tell the remaining big 3 that they'd love to stick around for a bit, but they both have some catching up to do... alot of it.
now the big 3 is left. this is where we get so close to the grand finale.
wonder woman steps up and gives her say about how she's finally realizing what man's world is about. it's not about man, it's about human life, and life in general. and the 2 men that stand in front of her right this instance, are perfect examples of that existence. as she leaves, she tells them she's off to themiscyra (sp?), as she is welcomed back. she takes a couple steps making her way to a teleporter, but quickly turns and runs quickly back to both supes and bats, and gives them both a quick kiss, superman then batman, and leaves.
of course that leaves supes and bats. both feeling a bit uncomfortable about what just happened with diana's kiss. batman makes a quick remark to break the air, "did she have to kiss YOU first?", supes gives a grin.
now, i can only picture this last scene w/ these two, talking about their first encounter, and how they've always been at odds in their ways, but have always been able to look beyond that. i think this is when supes should give batman the kryptonite ring, as a sign of their friendship and trust w/ one another. batman accepts this honor, and in return, gives clark a disc of every failsafe plan batman has against metahumans. he tells clark, "just in case." small inscriptions on the disc in clarks hand can slightly show words like "brother one", "omac", "identity...". clark, before he leaves, says to batman, "thank you bruce. be seeing you soon i'm sure." batman responds, "you can count on it."
and finally, batman is the sole leaguer in the room, and looks out of a window on to earth. turns around walks to a teleporter, and enters...
he returns to earth, in the batcave, and walks over to his batcomputer, alfred greets him, "welcome home sir, fun in space?"...
batman responds in a slightly amused grin... "only a hobby alfred..." as he stares at the batcomputer screen, he see's lists of his usual rogues that are still at large, with a headline at top, GOTHAM AT LARGE. his eyes focus on the words, GOTHAM. his smile is a little wider, "besides i already have a full time job."
fade out, and a new instrumental song w/ a mixture of the original batman animated theme and justice league theme.
end.

That would be a very good ending.
People need to keep in mind that we're talking about the last scene of the DCAU, not just JLU. The main characters of the primary DCAU (not Static Shock and Zeta) are Batman/Bruce, Superman/Clark, and Batman/Terry. The end of "Divided We Fall" and the full "Epilogue" were very good endings. If we can get more episodes, I'd like to see something along those lines.

The reason being is because they show all of the Justice League attending the wedding. Of course the day will have its mishaps by some villains trying to spoil the day. That's where the Justice League steps in to allow the wedding to go on without a hitch.
Check out the comic. You'll see how the JL ties into thier wedding.
Although JLU never really focused on Lois and Clark, it doesn't mean they can't portray it. It's a "no brainer" Lois and Clark develop a relationship. Why not up the ante and show how the worlds greatest superhero ties the knot with the love of his life.
I absolutely loved Divided We Fall and frankly, if they had to cut off the JLU at a point, they could've ended it on that note and I would've been a happy camper. The part where Supes made his speach to the superhero community just seemed to cliche. It was almost like a "GI Joe moment... where learning was half the battle." I wouldn't want them to end it like that.

Just watched Divided We Fall again. Great episode.
I'll add that Batman's return to the Batcave needs to have Alfred in the cave with Nightwing and Tim Drake sharing tea with the above dialogue.
