Fresh Question #7: Story Stylings

[Nightwing]

Greetings Leaguers. It's new FQ time! So dig in! With 7 characters on the good guy roster alone, not to mention those in the Injustice gang:

Where do you want stories to touch on, after everyone's origins are out of the way??

[peterparker05]

Oh the choices.....

Here's a few I can think of right off the bat.

The Return of Braniac w/a Panic In The Sky type storyline

The Qwards

An end to the treaty between New Genesis and Apokolips

Darkseid arming all the Arkham inmates with futuristic, powerful technology and weapons.

An Adam Strange story

A time travel story involving the Legion of Superheroes

War between the Amazons and the Atlantians

Ra's Al Ghul with a story similar to Tower of Babel

A Circe story w/Cheetah

Green Arrow story

Zauriel story

[Batman 80]

A panic in the sky story with Brainiac
A tower of Babel story with Ra's A Ghul
Another Injustice Gang story
An Amazo story
An Despero story
Another Mongul story.

Panic In The Sky was a storyline in the mainstream Superman comics in which Braniac took control of Warworld and took revenge against Superman. He launched a huge attack on Metropolis and the rest of the world. It took all of the world's superheroes, united, to stop the invasion. It also showed Braniac allied Draaga, Maxima, and (cue spooky music) Supergirl.

I wouldn't mind seeing the resolution to the Thanagarian War (or is it a conflict?) Has it been resolved in print?

You make it sound pretty good, :D.

I'd like to see a prison jailbreak episode--the Justice League versus a supervillain riot. Just as Grant Morrison said: "One Calendar Man vs. Green Lantern is funny. One Clock King vs. Aquaman is funny. But hundreds of those guys actually out to kill you isn't funny anymore."

A Crime Syndicate story loosely based on Morrison's Earth 2 (love Quietly's redesigns of the characters).

A Doctor Destiny story with an appearance by the Sandman (it's his gem!).

That darn Ra's Al Ghul Tower of Babel adaptation that everyone wants to see.

A couple of two-member team ups, a few appearances by some old friends (Lois Lane, Parasite, Catwoman, Bizarro, etc.), and a Legion of Doom reunion!

The show to go on forever without a dip in quality, :D.

id like to see some guest shots of some heroes we havent seen yet-

my DREAM is to see one of my all-time (if not THE all time) favorite super hero, Captain Comet in an episode or two

[Brainiac]

I'd like to see....

Brainiac (Panic in the sky preferable, but hey, if he comes back at all I'm happy)

A new injustice gang: Mr. Freeze/Clayface/Parasite/Sinestro--headed by R'as Al Ghul....okay....so that's never gonna happen...

[Zoddman]

I'd kill for an episode with deadman and The Spectre.

[Cassandra]

I'd love to see them do that great story where Zauriel first showed up-complete with the flash trapped in the teleporter, a really cool shot of superman figting an angel, and four words- "end" "the" "world" and "of" (oh, yes, and " fish" and "man")

I was so happy to see one of my favorites, Jonah Hex, on BTAS. I missed the beginning and I haven't seen it again. Who would I like to see apear in a Justice League episode? My other favorite, Jack Kirby's OMAC (One Man Army Corps). There should be an episode about Crisis On Infinite Earths. I've allways considered that to be the Secret Wars of the DC Universe. The producers of JL have a unique opportunity to produce such an episode, since none of the Marvel animated shows could have pulled it off. Which show would it have been on? Would they have the rights to all those characters, some of whom had shows of their own by different proders? The Spiderman cartoon had to come up with an alternate origin of the black costume/Venom. Oh dear, I'm rambeling.

Here's what I'd like to see in the future of JL
-OMAC
-Crisis on Infinite Earths
-More Jonah Hex

-More members on their down time. Let's see Alfred or Lois and Jimmy. Where do Diana and J'onn actually LIVE? (You get the idea)

-More focused episodes with only two or three heroes. Gives more screen time for individual growth and less heroes = bigger challenge/tougher fight

-A truly epic storyline. I liked the idea of the Amazons warring with Atlantis.

-An animated DTV adaption of Kingdom Come by the full BTAS crew. Yeah, it's not really a JL idea, but I don't care. Think of how cool it would be.

That is a very good idea.
Here is mine:
Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl and Flash help Batman stop Intergang from taking control of Gotham City. A little plain clothes infiltration and I wouldn't mind seeing Hawkgirl use her detective skills to show off Batman. Not much of worldly threats but it opens some good character development.

I too would like to see an ep with the Crime Syndicate, Morrison's Earth 2 was quite enjoyable. Maybe something with the CS invading JL Earth and everyone thinking the League has gone bad, so their fighting public opinion as well as the CS. (Kinda like what we should seen Supes doing had there been more after "Legacy').

Same with a Tower of Babel like story, not a direct recreation, but rather seeing all of the JL taken out, one by one, in unique ways.

Something with the Kingdom Come characterizations, not the story line per se but just the present JL meeting and interacting with older versions of themselves.

Not this season but maybe season 2 or 3 some stuff with the heroes in their secret ID's just being normal people and encountering other normal people and the differing views they have on the League's effectiveness.

How about the league loosing or swapping powers?

I'd also like to see stuff from the previous series brought back, like what ever happend to the reality Lois visited in "Brave New Metropolis"?

Also overarching season long sub-plots like Darkseids presence in STAS, or the mid-90's Spider-Man series.

Just some of my tthoughts

[JckNapier2]

Just a few thoughts on story ideas...

Obviously the Tower of Babel would make a terrific arc (perhaps a 3-part season finale), especially if they actually end the story the way the comic ended; which would make a great season-ending cliffhanger.

Since so many have demanded it (rightfully so), perhaps a story dealing with Batman coping with Tim's murder of the Joker which should take place in a year or so. Obviously, Barbara thinks that her father was the only other person to know about that, but that seems unlikely (at the least, Alfred and Dick would know). How it would be worked in can be debated, but a long heart-to-heart between Superman and Batman would be most interesting, perhaps with the other members of the JL debating the moral implications of the matter (because of course, different members have different opinions on taking human life).

Orgin stories for Flash and Hawkgirl.

The Rock of Ages storyline, a convoluted, but entertaining arc which could actually benefit from the streamlined storytelling that I usually criticize.

A JL story with Mytxleploxero... whatever, you know who I mean.

Storylines dealing with supporting characters from shows previous (ie- Dick Grayson, Lois Lane, Professor Hamilton, Jason Blood, Gordon, Leslie Thompkins, Jimmy Olsen, the previous Green Lantern, etc).

Somewhere down the line, the retirement of Batman (the first time, of course), and what led to that.

Wow... less than 5000 words!! YES!
