I was very intruigued to read about the upcoming Starro issue of Justice League Adventures. Apparently, Starro is the villain conquering the League, and they have to go to an old Green Lantern Corps member to resolve it!
Firstly, this issue could royally mess up Justice League continuity, especially if it makes references to Hal Jordon or Kyle Raynor without Timm and company awknowledging them or greenlighting them as official Justice League continuity! Since there is a rotating creative team on the series, couldn't this writer only make the whole GL issue only more confusing???
PLUS, Starro is the villain!!! Won't this totally contradict the BB episode "The Call" in which
...in which Superman doesn't realize that he has spent most of his life under the control of Starro????
I realize that Timm isn't going to get too caught up contuinty between the four shows (B: TAS, TNBA, S:TAS and BB) but why would any writer in their right mind try and tread where the JL show crew wouldn't??? I'm totally for the Justice League Adventures writing intersting stories that bring something to the overall continuity of the animated series, but since the comics' continuity have never been awknowledged by the show's which they are based upon (TBA etc...with the exception of Mad Love and Holiday Knights), won't this upcoming issue just be a total fiasco?
As upset as I may sound, I am really looking forward to this issue and hope the writer manages to pull off a great story that makes sense with the animated series...but I have serious doubts that that will happen. It is important to note that while I've never really cared for Batman Beyond as a series, I am a stickler over continuity, which makes this upcoming issue an interesting topic.
What do you guys think? Do you really care if the issue makes sense continuity-wise or will a good action story with a few cameos make you happy? What do you think, John Delaney? Is it just me, or has the writer set himself up with a nearly impossible task...? By the way, I like the cover you drew! Very reminiscent of the cover of the first issue of Adventures in the DC Universe... :cool:
