oops, I hit enter by mistake. I meant to start a thread hear;
This news sounds amazing, If any of these actually are made which would you want to see the most?

My choice would be the Bat Man Green Arrow team up, Two earth bound urban heroes, with very similar M.O.'s but very unique styles. I think this would make an amazing movie.

My second choice would be the Plastic man team up, Again they both have things in common (Detectives, dark pasts) but also two very different styles.

Also Wonder Woman we will see in the JL Animated, but G.A. and Plaz. both had cameos in the old Superfriends but didn't make the JL roster. And it would be nice to see them revived.

Any thoughts?

PLASTIC MAN ANIMATED! Sorry, had to say it again.

[Lucho]

And Ooops again!
Please note the "newbie" status under my name, I did not realize there are several threads discussing this same topic already.

But my vote still goes for the Green Arrow team-up! And believe it or not the Golden Age version, Yikes! I know...the red gloves the boots, the silly arrow car and Jet, and all the trick arrows even the boxing glove.
But that's what I'd personally want to see. I think that Timm and Co.'s unique style on the series, which tends to merge the best of what's modern and old, would make it credible . That tommy-guns, dirigibles and coops coexisted with lasers, computers, and space ships, would only serve to accentuate its "classic" and exceptional look.

Cary on...

I'd personally prefer to see a Batman and Green Arrow(Oliver Queen) or Batman and Wonder Woman movie. We've already seen Batman and Superman team up on different occassions. I can't stand Plastic Man, and cannot believe they are even considering him. In my opinion he's a shinning example of everything that is stupid in this world.

Green Arrow all the way. Him and Batman interact great! Chewck out the current GA series for a great example of these two heroes. I'd love to see Ga in JL sometime...

No problem. We're all going to be a little nuts with joy at this news, and some other news. And it's actually kinda helpful to see this posted by itself in its own thread, instead of buried down in others with different titles. :)

That's what a lotta people think about Plas, until they actually figure him out. See, he may act wacky, but his potential for serious stories is enormous. Plas was originally invented as a serious hero, but eventually turned wacky. I mean, a guy who used to be a criminal and is now a hero has a lotta potential as a detective, especially since Eel O'Brien and Plastic Man have different faces. If you've ever read POLICE COMICS #1 you know what I'm talking about. Also, Mark Waid's done some serious stuff with that character, which I can't thank him enough for. Also, Grant Morrison had a few moments in JLA where Plas was a really helpful component. Okay, that's my little rant on why Plastic Man rules.

Hmmm...with these new direct-to-video Batman films, maybe they'll revisit one story that they couldn't do at Fox--the story with Nocturna as a vampire (for those who don't know what I'm talking about, hunt down a copy of Comics Scene #46).

It was a cool idea for a two-part episode--with Batman being turned into a vampire--but Fox trashed it. Still, I'd like to see Nocturna show up somewhere...

I remember reading about the plot to that story. After a night of fighting Nocturna Batman goes home and when he wakes the next mourning the sunlight starts to ignite his skin.But Fox told them no vampires period and in no way could they have Batman become a vampire during an episode. I didnt realize vampires where to scary to be animated.

I'd love to see that "lost" episode animated. The plot sounded great and had one of the best cliffhangers of the series!

[Karkull]

Something just occured to me--if they do a Batman/Wonder Woman team-up, do you think that they might fight Maxie Zeus? I hope so, he was always one of my favorites from the old show.

As for Green Arrow (apparently the favorite here), I'd prefer that they drop the Arrowcar, Arrowjet, and focus on Kevin Smith's redesigned version. To really get the best version of the character, they will need to focus on his liberal mindset and his trick arrows.
