How much do you think Justice Leauge would be helped by Dini & Burnet writing for it?

I just watched ROTJ last night and I was like (that was good) and then I thought of World's Finest, which was also good (I think they wrote the 1st part of 3), I really thought that they where good writers, and I see places in JLA where they could have done some good stuff with the show, who agrees?

Hmmm. Secret Origins may just have revealed the heroes..un..secret origins rather than following the cliche-ridden space invaders trick. Dialogue would probably be better. I think the show would be better allround. But, I guess we'll never know.

If you ask me, they could turn this show around 180°. Good writing is what is holding this show back. And I can't get used to the colors of Superman. I'm reluctantly coming to terms with George Newbern, ( :eek: ) but there's something about the way that blue and red work together than I just can't accept. Too glary, I think, provided that "glary" is a word. :D

Hey, you can't hurt apple pie with vanilla ice cream...
-as my dad always said, you can't hurt something good by adding something better-

(mmm....pie....)

I just watched World's Finest part 1 again today, and I loved it again. So many memorable lines ya know.

I think Paul Dini was all about humor and those little idiosyncrancies that make the Simpsons and Batman/Superman so good. The overall feel of the shows were "comicbooky" it was never heavy seriousness and it tried stuff, and it did somethings with a tongue in cheek. This is clearly missing from JL for some reason.

Every now and then theres a feel for it, like when GL sees Aquaman jump onto the whale and says "I saw it, but I still don't believe it." I can pick stuff out all year from BTAS/TNBA/STAS for lines that proves my point, but I won't. I think Paul Dini as a writer and not a creative force on the show has a drastic change, but if we get some episodes from him as a writer, we will definitely have some good episodes ahead.

Well, if Paul Dini were to write an episode, he'd have to figure out how Harley Quinn defeats the entire Justice League, and tell the story in two parts.

Then again, Deadshot almost defeated them all, so I guess that's not too much of a stretch after all.

Well, to the charge that Dini's shows were never "heavy serious" I can only point to "Heart of Ice," "Mad as a Hatter," "Over the Edge" and "Out of the Past."

That being said, I think you're on to something. Dini's genius lies in getting inside a character's head, and getting him to express himself (or getting her to express herself -- can't overlook Harley!) in subtle and nuanced ways. But JL is not a character-driven show, at least, not to the extent that BTAS was.

I don't mean that Dini couldn't bring good stuff to the show. But you're absolutely right to imply that there is no straight line from Dini's best BTAS work to what JL is about.

I think that if Dini worked on the show, it would improve the quality of it immensely. I heard he was supposed to write an ep, but he couldn't due to an injury. (Sigh.) Maybe he will write one in the future.
