Future continuations of the DCAU

[cerealkiller182]

I think they should make an animated Crisis on Infinite Earths, using characters from different animated series (Super Friends, Timmverse, The Batman, etc.) as the different "worlds."

:gl:

That could be cool.

I always though If they were just going to do regular Crisis on Infinite Earths Timmverse style I think Tim Daly should play Earth 2 Superman. He voiced Supes in the original Timm animated series but wasnt available to commit to JL

Now there's a fun idea - Tim Daly Superman VS. George Newbern Superman. Battles of the Superman Voices!

"Tales of the Green Lantern Corps" and "Green Lantern Corps" featured Lanterns from other sectors. Although Hal Jordan would be considered a part of that group he was not featured in all of those stories (especially in the current series). And who was talking about wacky adventures? This could be taken seriously and can be very entertaining. GLC is on the level of a Star Wars a Battlestar Galactica or a Stargate type of series and could draw a respectable if not large audience and following if it was written that way.

All i meant by "wacky adventures" is that they'd be forced to stick to mostly one-shot, episodic stories, as they wouldn't be allowed to touch on most of the biggest aspects of the mythology. Yeah, each episode could tell a different story about a different member of the Corps fighting some new bad guy or something, but you wouldn't be able to do a lot of the big story arcs from the comics without Hal Jordan.

I mean, i'd say the time they all were wiped out by one of their own was a pretty significant event in Green Lantern history, but a DCAU-continuity GL show would either not be able to do that, or have to heavily rewrite it. It'd be like rewriting the Star Wars movie without Darth Vader and that whole Galactic Empire thing.

I'd much rather a Green Lantern show that actually resembled the comic books, as opposed to one that pointlessly switches around the names of backstories of characters.

so this will star the magnificent seven for the most part right? i liked the JLU, but one of my misgivings with that is there were too many characters and you hardly saw the seven work together anymore.

JLU introduced us to better characters than the original seven so we got a good trade

*weeps*

You're right, man. I made a typo. The only explanation is that i'm a complete dumbass. All my points immediately go out the window because of one little mistake.

Shut the **** up.

they could do a green latern story like that but it would be reversed...

say shayeera died during the apocalypse of 09, then stewart begged for her back and went power crazy. hal's part in that story could be played by stewart, kyle's part could be played by a brand new hal character and the original green latern role could be played by kyle.

simple shift, same effect but with motives that are unique and personal to the dcau universe thus putting its own unique twist on things...

Most television shows are mostly one-shot episodic stories. What are you trying to say? Why are they not going to be allowed to touch on the biggest aspects of the mythology? Who said that Hal Jordan wasn't going to be in it? All I am saying is that the focus doesn't have to be solely on him, but the rest of the members of the corps (just like "Green Lantern Corps" comics are right now). Anyway, I think story arcs like Emerald Dawn, Emerald Twilight, "Rebirth" and "The Synestro Corps War" are perfect for live action film adaptation although it could still be made into a cartoon skien or animated DTV.

Anything is possible in the world of fiction. The only way they would not be allowed to do that is if the person holding the filming rights to Green Lantern did not want any of the properties surrounding the character in any other competing media (like cartoon or live action TV shows). There has been no indication of that thus far so it would be premature to think that it would be a given that anyone would be forced to use any of the source material in the comics to do a "Green Lantern Corps" TV series.

Green Lantern Corps

That's nice to know, but we really don't know what the content of the show is going to be or if it is really going to be bad. Let's wait and see what other news surfaces before we start drawing off "wacky" conclusions. More times than none the stuff that has come out of WB Animation and the DCAU has been very good.

 

[Ceb-Man]

:gl:

That would be awesome.
I agree with Katsuro on a GL Corps animated film from DCAU Timmverse. I wouldn't like it. Hal Jordan is an imporatnt part and he wasn't used except in one scene in JLU. I'd like to see a GL Corps animated film, but made seperately from DCAU Timmverse. I would however like to see more JLU animated films.

 

[Changeling]

That is so dissapointing that John had to be the Green Lantern all the time in JL and JLU. Hal would've been so much better.

 

[Hush]

I'll go for anything GL that is animated after we saw what they can do in The New Frontier and the Superman episode with Kyle Rayner. I don't think we need anymore JL/JLU stories we already know that story.

 

[DavidTyler]

It is actually "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" (a different series).

I so hope this dies a quick and unremembered death.

 

[OwlBoy]

Why? It looks like it'll be really fun

 

[DarkSuperman]

I always wanted Hal Jordan AKA GREEN LANTERN to have his own show in the vain of Batman TAS or Superman TAS. He's sooooo the obvious choice for his own show.

 

[Sawyer]

I so hope this dies a quick and unremembered death.

Just give it a f***ing chance! We haven't even seen the pilot yet, for God sake...

 

[I Am The Knight]

Just give it a f***ing chance! We haven't even seen the pilot yet, for God sake...

Agreed.

 

[Katsuro]

Who said that Hal Jordan wasn't going to be in it?

What do you mean who said? Haven't you seen S:TAS or JLU? Hal Jordan clearly does not exist in that world, at least not as we know him.

Of course, neither does Kyle Rayner. It'd be nearly impossible for them to write some way of bringing Hal Jordan into continuity, as well as turning Kyle into the character he is in the comics. Kyle Rayner's supposed to be the Luke Skywalker of the GL story. The one who was forced to take up the mantle after the rest were extinct, and for a while was the only one. He was also supposed to be the one who wasn't chosen. He was a last restort. Also, he was the one who didn't get the benefit of training. Kyle just getting this ring, and having to figure out on his own what the hell it was and what he was supposed to do with it was big part of his character. Absolutley none of that exists in the DCAU version of Kyle.

The only way they would not be allowed to do that is if the person holding the filming rights to Green Lantern did not want any of the properties surrounding the character in any other competing media (like cartoon or live action TV shows).

What do you mean "forced to use the source material"? Why the hell would they have to be forced? Last I checked, the idea of adapting something was the make it resemble of the original work. Therefore they should WANT to use the source material, which they cant anymore cuz they've already thrown it all out the window. Again, my point is how do you tell the story of Emerald Twilight if Hal Jordan does not exist?

That's the worst idea I've ever heard.

Next you'll tell me they should do a new X-Men cartoon starring Cyclops, a short Canadian who smokes cigars, and Wolverine, a wheelchair bound psychic, along with their mentor, Professor X, who shoots beams out of his eyes.

 

[November Rain]

i'm not changing core characters, i'm switching events purely because they can all fit in it.

I could see john going nuts over shayera's death especially knowing they are supposed to have a child together. He nearly went nuts when AMAZO took out oa. It's not completely out of character.

meh.

 

[Katsuro]

i'm not changing core characters.

Of course you are! You're taking the three biggest characters, and switching around their names and identities completely. How is making Kyle Rayner the successor to Abin Sur, instead of a last resort chosen by Ganthet after Parralax killed all the others, not changing core character? That's a pretty big change.

 

[November Rain]

well kyle rayner is his sucessor already in dcau. that isn't something i've suggested, it's something already in place

That's like saying that if any change is made to the chronological order of what occurs in the comics, you make core changes.

I'm not saying they should act in the same way as their counterparts did in the comics as they all have different motivations and goals. I am however putting them in familiar situations.

does it ultimately matter in the long run if stewart ends up doing the emerald twilight storyline instead of hal?

 

[cerealkiller182]

Wouldnt it be easier to make Hal Abin Sur's partner or just an older GL who had died?

They already wrote Jon Stewart into the GL continuity as a more experienced GL sicne Kyle was on OA being trained during JLU, which also means Guy could have joined and quit already as well.

With Hal "dead" you can have him come back as Paralax and move on from there

 

[Sawyer]

The more that I think about it, the more I really freakin' want a Flash animated series, Timmverse or not.

 

[az824]

I like the Birds of Prey idea, Huntress and Black Canary were awesome on JLU, only thing is Oracle wouldnt be in a wheel chair (since Timm's Barbara never gets shot by the joker) , it could simply be that after the flashbacks from ROTJ she didnt want to be batgirl anymore and so she preferred to stay as the info source

If your talking about Comissioner Barbara Gordon, they could always say that Batman Beyond future had the tech to aid her in walking. Wouldnt be the first time Timm retconned something. John Stewart seemed like a seasoned veteran in JLU but Kyle was still training regardless of being the first Green Lantern to appear in Timm continuity with no knowledge of what a Green Lantern may be (not even Supes knew) If John had been around youd think someone would hear about them

 

[az824]

yeah but joker is dead in the universe, and he died before shooting barbara, so it doesnt work that well

 

[az824]

double post

 

[cerealkiller182]

right, but that doesnt mean she still cant become paralyzed.
