From what I understand it will focus on those two, the way Paradise Lost focused on WW.

awwwww

as much as i love Superman, i want to see an episode with ONLY FLASH AND GL

thats the TRUE Brave and the Bold

that would allow major development with those two

to add supes or the bat would cheapen things i think-- those two are deus ex machina (as much as i love em)

Hey, you could still be right. Mine was a guess.

Nothing had posted a long time ago that it would focus on Flash and GL but that Diana and Batman would both be in it as well.

[Justice League 2000]

wait a minute nothing is it just flash and green lantern only going to be in brave and the bold part 1 and 2? or is it flash green lantern hawkgirl wonder woman batman j'ozz j"ozz in the brave and the bold part 1 and 2? :confused:

I really don't want Flash and GL to be the only characters in "Brave and the Bold". The entire point of JL was to have all the superheros team up. only two superheros seems like a bad idea.

Yeah, it would give Flash and GL time to develop since a lot of people aren't familar with thier characters. But I still wouldn't Batman and Hawkgirl (bring back Hawkgirl! She's been absent in 2 episodes already!) made an appearence. Just have them stay out of the fight with Grodd.

I also wouldn't mind if Supes took a breather. I know he's the leader but that doens't mean he has to be in every episode.

After their scene in "Secret Origins", I was expecting to see an episode focussing on both GL and Flash working together :). These characters have different attitudes and methods of crime fighting so that makes them the offbeat duo in the Justice League. I just hope they don't include many other characters in this episode.

The way they have it sounds good to me...I want some character development, but eventually the other characters can hop in. Also, its good to have superman out of things sometimes because although he is the "leader", his all-powerfulness makes things easier for the other members...by leaving him out sometimes, when he's in they can have good, large-scale stories and when he's out the League can have a bit more of a challenge.

The fact that Flash and Green Lantern are teaming up to battle Grodd prompts another interesting bit of comic book trivia from the lore of the Dark Lantern:

Back in 1977, issue 14 of a long-defunct comic called “DC Super Stars” tried to “retcon” Grodd’s origin, as well as that of Gorilla City. In this story, it was “revealed” that the race of intelligent gorillas were aliens on a prehistoric-like planet, and were threatened with extinction. This planet is actually the same world Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) visited in the very first issue of his own magazine. One of the gorillas, Grodd, sees GL in action saving another race and proposes a plan for the gorillas to use their mental powers to tap GL’s ring and command it to tow their city to Earth as GL heads for home (unbeknownst to the Emerald Warrior, of course).

Since Grodd came up with the idea that saved their city, he wanted to be declared the new king. However, Solivar and the other gorillas weren’t too keen on the idea. This led to a battle between GL and Grodd, but since I am going from memory, I do not recall precisely how. I do remember that after GL beat the villainous ape, Solivar used his mental powers to erase GL’s memory so he would have no recollection of Grodd or Gorilla City. The point of the story was to “reveal” that GL was really Grodd’s first arch-foe, and not the Flash.

However, this caused a continuity problem, because the comic with Flash’s first battle with Grodd was published a few years before GL#1 -- even before Showcase #22, when Hal Jordan first appeared. That is why the old Who’s Who listings of Grodd and Gorilla City mention that the account of these super apes being extraterrestrials was considered “incorrect.”

Interesting that DC editors were using “real time” as an indicator of which comic book events happened first.
