I got to talk with Paul Dini at a con a while ago. There was no one else in line, so I got to spend a bit of time with him. He told me that they wanted to use The Specter, but there were licensing issues in the way.
Yeah, agree, I like them both. I thought after JLU we would get a spin-off series that was introduced in the episode Far from Home, where Supergirl joins the Legion of Superheroes.
@commonsenseking6386 The burn out of comics writers. I know the stories of DC, Marvel, and the rest have to be engaging, deep, and tell a great story...but they apparently get burnt out. Invincible and The Boys, were a testament to this....invincible, we all want more, the boys the same. The writers Kirkman and Kripke suffered burn out.
can't help but imagine the League show in Beyond universe could start with Terry standing over Bruce's grave and the Intro credits mentions "in memory of Kevin" as a emotional start. Then let's go with the action!
Please stop it with the Conroy “love!” He has passed, we are all sad. Batman is still with us. He was here for many many years before Conroy and should be here for many more years. That in no way is against Conroy. Actors come and go, characters live forever. We don’t need a Bruce Wayne Jr. like the MCU did with T’Challa.
No, you see Michael Jon "M.J." Carter, a.k.a. Green Lantern is a "light hitter," as in he hits people with solid light, from his magical space ring. /s
Green Lantern long ago became the designated jobber. In the fictional world of DC's superheroes, he's an A-list superstar. In our world, he never has been, and DC knows it. So whoever carries the title gets to be the guy who gets beaten up early to show a threat's serious, gets to be the guy whose equivalent to Gotham/Metropolis is wiped off the map, gets to be the guy who turns heel and becomes an insane supervillain, etc.
We need to stop letting the actors mean more than the characters. I LOVE Conroy. I miss Conroy. There will never be another, but BATMAN lives on forever.
it's crazy that you ended up saying "hal jordan, hal jordan, or maybe hal jordan" because all i wanted from JLU was more green lantern stuff. but especially hal

@@crhu319 Animated movies in the DCAU? As far as I know, Starfire has never appeared in anything that is canon to the DCAU. Has Nightwing even appeared in the DCAU since "The New Batman Adventures"?
Honestly, given the passing of Kevin Conroy, I think I'd much prefer a Batman Beyond continuation set after Epilogue with Bruce now gone and Terry standing alone. It could still allow for other JLU members to come back, such as Superman, Martian Manhunter and Wonderwoman who would all still be very much alive. It could then be used to explain the things we never saw, such as the "Near-Apocalypse of 09" and other events and would work as a spiritual successor to BTAS in many ways. Plus, seeing a Neo-Gotham even further in the future with updated "futuristic" tech would also be cool to see.
As a fan of Ben 10 since my childhood, I must admit that I got to see some episodes of JLU before it went off the air and after a long time and knowing everything I now know about JLU, Ben 10 and the people who worked on these shows. I would have loved a crossover between Ben 10 and the Justice League when I was a kid and even today
I'm glad for what the DCAU exists as, as much as it would be nice to have even more, but it was done so well that I can't even complain that it went out on top. If we were to have another season, I would've loved to see more episodes to look at the D-Listers, and see how weird things could get. I would have loved an episode where we are introduced to the Challengers Of The Unknown, or Slam Bradley show up for a Question/Martian Manhunter real gumshoe story. Really show us these fringes of the DC Universe, while still giving time to the League interacting with them bringing this world together. Or Hal Jordan. Could always use more Hal Jordan.
I think having Season 4 follow Terry McGinnis after Epilogue is a great idea. It’s also the highest possibility of something actually happening for a season 4. Would still love to see it, fingers crossed!!
If there was another season of JLU I would like to see some of the sidekicks/partners from previous shows become members and come into there own as their own heroes. Like an arc with Nightwing would be nice
I they had continued with season four of JLU, I'd want them to tell stories that they were passionate about. Stories they were dying to tell and not telling them because it was their job. Passion and sincerity above all else.
If Justice League Unlimited had continued I feel like the ending for the series probably would have been the near apocalypse of 09 since that would make the most sense to end off on a big event story to conclude the Justice League era.
Another banger from the Database 🔥 If we were to get a fourth season, getting more adventures in the Beyond era would have been fun, maybe with even more legacy takes on other heroes from the "present day"
If they did have a new season, I would have incorporated some of Batman's adversaries (the Joker, Scarecrow, Bane, and Poison Ivy) - possibly the Near Apocalypse of 09, which I thought it was a Ra's/Talia/Poison Ivy vs. Vandal Savage storyline.
Personally for me, I have a lot of ideas of what I would have liked to see for a fourth season. They include -A return to New Genesis, see what happened to the New gods once Darkseid was no more. - More Atomic Skull -Some of the characters who only appeared in DCAU tie-in or Earth-12 comics like Animal Man and the Metal Men, with them all having an episode -Another Captain Marvel/Shazam episode -If doing time travel, then including future-set episodes with OMAC and Kamandi. -I really want to say a Doom Patrol episode too but the rights probably would have been a problem with the teen Titans appearance. -Lobo returning -The DNAliens (not the Ben 10 ones), work in that they were all left behind after Cadmus fell apart -Give Nemesis and Obsidian speaking roles. -The return of Orm fully as Ocean Master, maybe working behind the scenes to take Atlantis and the world's oceans once and for all. -Shining Knight and Etrigan teaming up, with Sir Justin not trusting Jason Blood due to his role in Camelot's fall. -And a take on the Nail series, where due to the time/space travel, several leaguers find themselves in a world where Superman is not around, thus meta humans are are lot more distrusted, the League hides in secret (with fewer of the founding members, implied to be killed by the Imperium), and the world's governments openly run Cadmus-like programs.
Double comment for the algorithm! What about an ep focusing on the fallout of the flashback from ROTJ. We can see how it impacted Bruce and pushed him away
QOTD: In a new season I would want to see an older version of the Justice League! Have Bruce Wayne in the Batman Beyond suit and change up the main 7 a bit (I haven't always liked Cyborg being a member of Justice League, but a future version would be cool with him on it)
It's sad to say, but I don't think a DCAU revival would work without Kevin. At least not in TV form, but maybe if the writers locked-in and decided to continue it via comic books to bridge the gap between JLU and Batman Beyond.
They could have did stories based on this idea: First 4 episodes would be a dcau version of flashpoint with Wally west and Thomas Wayne (Batman) as the main protagonist and Wonder Woman and aquaman as the main antagonists. after flashpoint, the universe can be reset and the last episode ultimately ends with Batman Superman Wonder Woman having a meeting about who they would recruit in their superhero group. It shows pictures of flash aquaman, Martian manhunter hawkman vixen green lantern zatanna green arrow hawkgirl atom and black lightning ,black canary. The next few episodes can consist of those heroes joining Batman Superman and Wonder Woman and eventually naming themselves the justice league. The next few episodes can show facing a new legion of doom,;calibak, granny goodness and female furies and steppenwolfe. They can also face the spectre king mongul and anti monitor. They also gave a tandem of ras al ghul and vandal savage and poison ivy. The last few episodes can show Diana and Bruce officially becoming a couple, with Circe and cheetah attacking Diana again and Bruce aiding Diana and as the story progresses, he expresses his feelings for her and she feels the same way ending with them kissing. And throughout the rest of the season they have lovable and funny moments.
I would have loved to have seen what a Barry Allen in this universe could have been, more Wonder Woman Vs Dr. Psycho, John Constantine, the classic Justice Society, and more of John & Shayera relationship
What I would’ve wanted to see in a new season is Tower of Babel… the idea of Batman coming up with his own plans to take down the League and then having them stolen and used by criminals is just awesome and I would love to see Bruce Timms version of it, and yes The Batman and Teen Titans are in the same universe and I stand by that!
Incredible video!! In my ideal season 4 I would definitely like to see the tala or space angle, I would love to just explore more heroes who were always see. in the background, like what is vibe’s story? why the hell is nemesis there? there are several members on the jlu who would be on a jsa if such a thing existed, what are their stories? also firestorm, i love firestorm
Super cool! Thanks so much for making this video! Hal Jordan is definitely a favorite character of mine and he’s even in my current fan fiction story. So many amazing concepts and stories. I certainly love that Justice League “beyond era” idea. Totally cool! And yes I would want more Batman stuff like maybe a Scarecrow plot where he teams up with some other villains to increase his fear-spreading powers. I would also be all in on more Flash and Gigantia. I personally dig the idea of Flash dating a villain girl lol!
Dude, your random references and memes are all things I know, _and_ I love Justice League (and other DCAU stuff) because I grew up with it, you have earned my sub!
ngl your wonder woman TAS sounds like something that 9/10 would see (though idk if anyone’s willing to get an impersonator to play batman considering how baked conroy is in that batman in particular)
The space idea for JLU season 4 is very reminiscent of the later seasons of _Super Friends_ (with seasons sub-/re-titled as _The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians, Challenge of the SuperFriends, SuperFriends: The Legendary Super Powers Show,_ etc.) when they fought Darkseid and had a lot more space-based episodes, with them visiting weird alien planets like the one where John and Shayera get into that barfight. I remember watching it back around '82/'83 when I was about 8, and it introducing me to the whole concept of cosmic superhero adventures. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were drawing inspiration from _SuperFriends_ for the concept.
Fun Fact, Alan Burnett, one of the minds that is behind the DCAU, actually has also worked on those later seasons of the Super Friends franchise as well.
Great video, especially the yellow impurity bit. I would love to see a Birds of Prey episode, Double Date is one of my favorite episodes of JLU and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying Gale Simone’s classic Birds of Prey run. And I’d really like an episode about Barbara interacting with women in the Hero community that’s actually pretty good. Sorry TNBA.
Longtime subscriber here, and I gotta say, after watching so many of this channel's videos, I've reached a conclusion: not just the DCAU, but this entire era of DC animated media, was peak superhero content, similar to Phase 1-3 of the MCU. It's sad to say, but I don't think we'll ever get something as cool as the DCAU ever again, even if James Gunn's new DCU initiative turns out to be a hit. Oh well... At least I can still revisit these awesome movies and shows not just through streaming services, but more importantly, through the awesome Watchtower videos. Keep up the astonishing work!
Great video guys my favorite part was when you talked about how Hal Jordan could have been in it, truly my favorite and most requested character for a show that had already been wrapped up for about ten years before I even started it. In all seriousness I would have loved an episode tackling the green lantern corps and the sinestro corps, perhaps an episode detailing the creation of sinestro corps and then the subsequence war with the GLC oh and the whole episode should have a running gag where the other GLs constantly talk about and praise Hal as one of there best, but he doesn't actually ever appear except for maybe a silhouette. Anyways thanks for the video it was awesome can't wait for the next one.
Oh yeah baby, a whole new video for my peepers. Thanks to all the Databoys and Babes in front of the mic and behind the scenes. I can't wait to watch!!
This was fantastic. Thanks so much. I would love to have seen more with Darkseid and Lex. In addition, I would love to see the culmination of the Hawkgirl/John Stewart Love-Pentagram with them getting married or John dying. Space travel, yes. Time travel, no. Would love to see other super hero teams like the Titans, All Star Squadron, Outsiders, Doom Patrol. Just gets me excited and sad that we don't have more.
This would've come out around 2007, which would've been a few years into Geoff Johns' Green Lantern run. Incorporating some aspects of that, like the Sinestro Corps, since they were going to space, would've been pretty cool to see.
For a JLU Season 4: Could maybe do that idea I brought up before and what you explored in the one video about Galetea maybe somehow returning and becoming Power Girl, or just how we could have gotten Power Girl in general (along with the other character cameos we've seen in recent JL related movies and such).
Also at 4:45 you mention what if the show was still on today. If one piece can be still airing with over a 1000 episodes, and oda is building the world and stories as hes gonna along, maybe he had it planned out, but he still had to do all the work to brong his vision to life properly. DC has such a massive backlog of content. Timmverse really could've been a continuous thing with add ons and spin offs, and I'd still watch it now
If a new season were to happen: I'd like to have seen new status quos for each of the Leaguers (and integrating newer storylines, future canon be damned.) What if Lois knew Clark's identity and they get married? The Bat-Embargo was lifted and more heroes like Spoiler or Orphan were brought in? Beyond would get additions from Future State etc etc.
I would have loved for JLU season 4 to be centered around exploring the DCU afterlife. It could be a kind of "Hell on Earth" thing where Hell has a major shake-up and evil souls get released. Hell maybe even some characters from The Sandman or Vertigo could show up.
For the QOTD: it honestly feels like an impossible task for me. Growing up, the Glen Murakami helmed Teen Titans was my main experience with the DC universe, with whatever JL/JLU episodes I managed to catch on the off chance I was still watching CN/Toonami. At best, maybe a story arc involving Braniac could do to make up for the Darkseid bait and switch.
If it was continued with the current plot lines that were talked about. I'd be fine with a season-long Crisis on Infinite Earth Storyline. In the season they could celebrate the entire history of DC like the comic and have some episodes in the present time showing how the other leaguers are doing while other things go on like a regrouping of the Secret Society of Supervillains or a threat that will destroy Earth as the other members are gone.
I would have loved to have seen a deep dive into the Martian Manhunter's past. Explore his time on Mars and his Johd Jones side on earth. it'd have also been cool to have them team up with the Doom Parrol or some version of the Teen Titans.
Loved, loved, LOVED this video Watchtower ❤️ I've ALWAYS wanted an answer to the question of what JLU would've looked like had it gone forward so this was incredible. Another extremely well done video to add to your already extensive catalog and a deep, deep thank you to you and the team for keeping the memory and love for the DCAU alive after all these years 🥹❤️ Also, we NEED that Teen Titans/ The Batman video 😂❤️
QOTD: Personally for another Season of Justice League Unlimited / More DCU in general I want to see more things set in The Beyond Era with an Older Terry after Bruce Wayne is gone & The Future JLU Team featuring animated adaptations of DC Characters & adjusted Storylines from DC Comics that released AFTER The JLU Show Ended! There's now a lot of Characters that have been created since The JLU Show ended & It's interesting to think about how they would be adapted for not only in The DCAU but also The Future Batman Beyond Era 🤔
I think going back and forth between the original 7 and a group of leaguers covering for them after they disappear into space would have been interesting.
I wouldve loved to see some more deep space stuff, bring back Amazo, maybe an episode or two about the GL Corps (Hal Jordan), maybe a touch on Rann/Thanagar tensions, and Hal Jordan
Answer to the question of the day: I would have liked to see more of the question do sweet detective work. Or Renee Montoya as the question. I always liked the idea of her as the question.
My annual Christmas wish...aside from world peace that is, would be a Justice League Beyond series! Reading the Earth 12 comics had me hankering for some more of Terry McGinnis fighting alongside Superman, Barda, Warhawk, Aquagirl, and Green Lantern! Maybe we'd get a Flash...or Superman would meet his son that he had with Lashina. The possibilities are endless!
For JL Season 4, I would have liked to see a bit more exploration of the Sinestro Corps. I think that unwritten episode-turned comic would have been an excellent segway for that. I'd have also liked to see Hal Jordan. And maybe even Hal Jordan, story permitting.
I hereby pitch a musical episode. I don’t know if Music Meister was created yet, but you could use Mr. Mxyzptlk. The plot could be it’s time to mess with Superman again, but he had promised to take his girlfriend out on a date to prove he cares for her. So, he gets two birds with one stone and makes the JL be like it’s some sort of musical theatre thing for the date. This pitch would be rejected immediately, but wouldn’t be fun to think about.
Here is what a JLU Season 4 should have had, more of DC's world. What I mean by that is more locations from the comics. I also really liked the character centric episodes (exploring backstories, following a mystery, etc). I love watching your videos (and listening to the podcast) and keep up the good work. Stay Yoppie!
Its possible, given the space-centric plotline, the desire to use Adam Strange and Carter Hall and wrap up some loose ends with Thanagar, that we would have gotten a loose adaptation of the then-recent Rann-Thanagar War storyline, released in 2005
Right? The Rann-Thanagar War is even hinted at in JLvsF5! We did a whole video a few years ago about our take on what that could've maybe looked like in the DCAU!
Great video. Love the Trek and Who references. As a 50 something I’d still be watching them if the seasons had gone on. Have them on disc, and my now young adult son still rewatches (as do I).
I like Black Lightning but it be nice if they would use Black Vulcan! like some sort of canonical story and add in Soul Power and Sparky! maybe a team up **w** or some story where they are all the same person, and it makes perfect sense!
Terrific video! I love your channel so much! I love what we got but a 4th season would be awesome! Definitely would've liked to have seen Hal Jordan. Spector sounds good too! you always deliver some fantastic reports.
I would have liked to have seen the time/space travel option that was mentioned. This could have given us a proper Golden Age JSA story, another Legion story, and more. Also, I would have loved to see more of the Marvel Family. The Beyond universe would also be fun, but maybe just for one story, not a whole season.
I would've loved to have seen more WonderBat in season 4, but I would've loved to have also seen the 'present' team actually meet the future team (since they met an alternate future version in Season 1).
I would have liked to see a swamp thing episode in a hypothetical addictional JLU season. If the season had been set in space that might have been a little hard to do, but the whole final section of alan moore's swamp thing was a journey through space and there's no reason why they couldnt have done a single episode back on earth as a change of pace.
I think for a season 4, if the Bat Embargo was lifted, make in a season long celebration of that by reintegrating Batman's rogues and allies, perhaps having the Joker himself as the big bad of the season trying to make a joke out of all the other world enders by trying to make everyone go out in one glorious big bang. And perhaps, he even wins, setting off to season 5 through time travel and multiverse shenanigans to restore the surviving hero's lost world.
I would have liked to see more Wonder Woman and Batman stories that fully answered if they became a couple or not. Also some more flash stories, possibly dealing with exploring the speed force after Divided We Fall.
I was 11 when BTAS came out and still hold it as the pinnacle of animation and story telling. As I grew up and watched the years of Superman vs Darkseid battles happen only to finish JLU with their final battle, I can honestly say I was jumping up and down once I heard the famous line "..just how powerful I really am." I will forever miss that part of my life with the DCAU.

If we were to get a fourth season, getting more adventures in the Beyond era would have been fun, maybe with even more legacy takes on other heroes from the "present day"

-A return to New Genesis, see what happened to the New gods once Darkseid was no more.
- More Atomic Skull
-Some of the characters who only appeared in DCAU tie-in or Earth-12 comics like Animal Man and the Metal Men, with them all having an episode
-Another Captain Marvel/Shazam episode
-If doing time travel, then including future-set episodes with OMAC and Kamandi.
-I really want to say a Doom Patrol episode too but the rights probably would have been a problem with the teen Titans appearance.
-Lobo returning
-The DNAliens (not the Ben 10 ones), work in that they were all left behind after Cadmus fell apart
-Give Nemesis and Obsidian speaking roles.
-The return of Orm fully as Ocean Master, maybe working behind the scenes to take Atlantis and the world's oceans once and for all.
-Shining Knight and Etrigan teaming up, with Sir Justin not trusting Jason Blood due to his role in Camelot's fall.
-And a take on the Nail series, where due to the time/space travel, several leaguers find themselves in a world where Superman is not around, thus meta humans are are lot more distrusted, the League hides in secret (with fewer of the founding members, implied to be killed by the Imperium), and the world's governments openly run Cadmus-like programs.
Double comment for the algorithm! What about an ep focusing on the fallout of the flashback from ROTJ. We can see how it impacted Bruce and pushed him away
That would have been pretty dope. And I'd love to see it done as a comic/graphic novel.
QOTD: In a new season I would want to see an older version of the Justice League! Have Bruce Wayne in the Batman Beyond suit and change up the main 7 a bit (I haven't always liked Cyborg being a member of Justice League, but a future version would be cool with him on it)
It's sad to say, but I don't think a DCAU revival would work without Kevin. At least not in TV form, but maybe if the writers locked-in and decided to continue it via comic books to bridge the gap between JLU and Batman Beyond.
They could have did stories based on this idea:
First 4 episodes would be a dcau version of flashpoint with Wally west and Thomas Wayne (Batman) as the main protagonist and Wonder Woman and aquaman as the main antagonists. after flashpoint, the universe can be reset and the last episode ultimately ends with Batman Superman Wonder Woman having a meeting about who they would recruit in their superhero group. It shows pictures of flash aquaman, Martian manhunter hawkman vixen green lantern zatanna green arrow hawkgirl atom and black lightning ,black canary.
The next few episodes can consist of those heroes joining Batman Superman and Wonder Woman and eventually naming themselves the justice league.
The next few episodes can show facing a new legion of doom,;calibak, granny goodness and female furies and steppenwolfe. They can also face the spectre king mongul and anti monitor. They also gave a tandem of ras al ghul and vandal savage and poison ivy.
The last few episodes can show Diana and Bruce officially becoming a couple, with Circe and cheetah attacking Diana again and Bruce aiding Diana and as the story progresses, he expresses his feelings for her and she feels the same way ending with them kissing. And throughout the rest of the season they have lovable and funny moments.
Personally I just wish we had a moment of reconciliation between Superman and Captain Marvel
I would have loved to have seen what a Barry Allen in this universe could have been, more Wonder Woman Vs Dr. Psycho, John Constantine, the classic Justice Society, and more of John & Shayera relationship
What I would’ve wanted to see in a new season is Tower of Babel… the idea of Batman coming up with his own plans to take down the League and then having them stolen and used by criminals is just awesome and I would love to see Bruce Timms version of it, and yes The Batman and Teen Titans are in the same universe and I stand by that!
Incredible video!! In my ideal season 4 I would definitely like to see the tala or space angle, I would love to just explore more heroes who were always see. in the background, like what is vibe’s story? why the hell is nemesis there? there are several members on the jlu who would be on a jsa if such a thing existed, what are their stories? also firestorm, i love firestorm
Super cool! Thanks so much for making this video! Hal Jordan is definitely a favorite character of mine and he’s even in my current fan fiction story. So many amazing concepts and stories. I certainly love that Justice League “beyond era” idea. Totally cool! And yes I would want more Batman stuff like maybe a Scarecrow plot where he teams up with some other villains to increase his fear-spreading powers. I would also be all in on more Flash and Gigantia. I personally dig the idea of Flash dating a villain girl lol!
Dude, your random references and memes are all things I know, _and_ I love Justice League (and other DCAU stuff) because I grew up with it, you have earned my sub!
Thank you! 😁
Another great vid! I’d have liked to see more of my sweet boy Nightwing. Guy earned more than a silhouette Easter egg
ngl your wonder woman TAS sounds like something that 9/10 would see
(though idk if anyone’s willing to get an impersonator to play batman considering how baked conroy is in that batman in particular)
The space idea for JLU season 4 is very reminiscent of the later seasons of _Super Friends_ (with seasons sub-/re-titled as _The Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians, Challenge of the SuperFriends, SuperFriends: The Legendary Super Powers Show,_ etc.) when they fought Darkseid and had a lot more space-based episodes, with them visiting weird alien planets like the one where John and Shayera get into that barfight. I remember watching it back around '82/'83 when I was about 8, and it introducing me to the whole concept of cosmic superhero adventures.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were drawing inspiration from _SuperFriends_ for the concept.
Fun Fact, Alan Burnett, one of the minds that is behind the DCAU, actually has also worked on those later seasons of the Super Friends franchise as well.
Great video, especially the yellow impurity bit.
I would love to see a Birds of Prey episode, Double Date is one of my favorite episodes of JLU and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying Gale Simone’s classic Birds of Prey run. And I’d really like an episode about Barbara interacting with women in the Hero community that’s actually pretty good. Sorry TNBA.
I Would like to see Plastic-man!! Plastic-man!! Plastic-man!! Plastic-man!! Plastic-man!! Plastic-man!! Plastic-man!! Plastic-man!!
Longtime subscriber here, and I gotta say, after watching so many of this channel's videos, I've reached a conclusion: not just the DCAU, but this entire era of DC animated media, was peak superhero content, similar to Phase 1-3 of the MCU. It's sad to say, but I don't think we'll ever get something as cool as the DCAU ever again, even if James Gunn's new DCU initiative turns out to be a hit. Oh well... At least I can still revisit these awesome movies and shows not just through streaming services, but more importantly, through the awesome Watchtower videos. Keep up the astonishing work!
No Dwayne mcduffie or Kevin Conroy so I doubt it
Great video guys my favorite part was when you talked about how Hal Jordan could have been in it, truly my favorite and most requested character for a show that had already been wrapped up for about ten years before I even started it. In all seriousness I would have loved an episode tackling the green lantern corps and the sinestro corps, perhaps an episode detailing the creation of sinestro corps and then the subsequence war with the GLC oh and the whole episode should have a running gag where the other GLs constantly talk about and praise Hal as one of there best, but he doesn't actually ever appear except for maybe a silhouette. Anyways thanks for the video it was awesome can't wait for the next one.
Oh yeah baby, a whole new video for my peepers. Thanks to all the Databoys and Babes in front of the mic and behind the scenes. I can't wait to watch!!
This was fantastic. Thanks so much. I would love to have seen more with Darkseid and Lex. In addition, I would love to see the culmination of the Hawkgirl/John Stewart Love-Pentagram with them getting married or John dying. Space travel, yes. Time travel, no. Would love to see other super hero teams like the Titans, All Star Squadron, Outsiders, Doom Patrol. Just gets me excited and sad that we don't have more.
This would've come out around 2007, which would've been a few years into Geoff Johns' Green Lantern run. Incorporating some aspects of that, like the Sinestro Corps, since they were going to space, would've been pretty cool to see.
ToonrificTariq voicing Dwayne McDuffie fixed me
For a JLU Season 4: Could maybe do that idea I brought up before and what you explored in the one video about Galetea maybe somehow returning and becoming Power Girl, or just how we could have gotten Power Girl in general (along with the other character cameos we've seen in recent JL related movies and such).
Also at 4:45 you mention what if the show was still on today. If one piece can be still airing with over a 1000 episodes, and oda is building the world and stories as hes gonna along, maybe he had it planned out, but he still had to do all the work to brong his vision to life properly. DC has such a massive backlog of content. Timmverse really could've been a continuous thing with add ons and spin offs, and I'd still watch it now
If a new season were to happen: I'd like to have seen new status quos for each of the Leaguers (and integrating newer storylines, future canon be damned.) What if Lois knew Clark's identity and they get married? The Bat-Embargo was lifted and more heroes like Spoiler or Orphan were brought in? Beyond would get additions from Future State etc etc.
Back in the day, I kinda wanted a "JLU Beyond" spin off.
I would have loved for JLU season 4 to be centered around exploring the DCU afterlife. It could be a kind of "Hell on Earth" thing where Hell has a major shake-up and evil souls get released. Hell maybe even some characters from The Sandman or Vertigo could show up.
I would love to see more Wonderbat for sure! W Vid!
For the QOTD: it honestly feels like an impossible task for me. Growing up, the Glen Murakami helmed Teen Titans was my main experience with the DC universe, with whatever JL/JLU episodes I managed to catch on the off chance I was still watching CN/Toonami. At best, maybe a story arc involving Braniac could do to make up for the Darkseid bait and switch.
If it was continued with the current plot lines that were talked about. I'd be fine with a season-long Crisis on Infinite Earth Storyline. In the season they could celebrate the entire history of DC like the comic and have some episodes in the present time showing how the other leaguers are doing while other things go on like a regrouping of the Secret Society of Supervillains or a threat that will destroy Earth as the other members are gone.
I would have loved to have seen a deep dive into the Martian Manhunter's past. Explore his time on Mars and his Johd Jones side on earth. it'd have also been cool to have them team up with the Doom Parrol or some version of the Teen Titans.
An ep about him during the war would and exploring that even could be good
Loved, loved, LOVED this video Watchtower ❤️ I've ALWAYS wanted an answer to the question of what JLU would've looked like had it gone forward so this was incredible. Another extremely well done video to add to your already extensive catalog and a deep, deep thank you to you and the team for keeping the memory and love for the DCAU alive after all these years 🥹❤️ Also, we NEED that Teen Titans/ The Batman video 😂❤️
QOTD: Personally for another Season of Justice League Unlimited / More DCU in general I want to see more things set in The Beyond Era with an Older Terry after Bruce Wayne is gone & The Future JLU Team featuring animated adaptations of DC Characters & adjusted Storylines from DC Comics that released AFTER The JLU Show Ended!
There's now a lot of Characters that have been created since The JLU Show ended & It's interesting to think about how they would be adapted for not only in The DCAU but also The Future Batman Beyond Era 🤔
Not gonna lie. A Ben 10 crossover would've been cool if they had made one. Kevin Conroy even voiced 1/3 of Alien X back in Alien Force.
I think going back and forth between the original 7 and a group of leaguers covering for them after they disappear into space would have been interesting.
THE DCAU IS MY FAVORITE AND MY CHILDHOOD I OWN THE WHOLE THING ON DVD AND BLU RAY AND REWATCH ALL THE TIME!
I would love to see amazo come back in a JL S4 there’s basically infinite things they can do with him. Also seeing more beyond would be sick
Robert Picardo isn't doing anything right now so it's a perfect time!
I wouldve loved to see some more deep space stuff, bring back Amazo, maybe an episode or two about the GL Corps (Hal Jordan), maybe a touch on Rann/Thanagar tensions, and Hal Jordan
I need to know more about the 'near apocalypse of 09'! Like it is my Zeta project!
Answer to the question of the day: I would have liked to see more of the question do sweet detective work. Or Renee Montoya as the question. I always liked the idea of her as the question.
My annual Christmas wish...aside from world peace that is, would be a Justice League Beyond series! Reading the Earth 12 comics had me hankering for some more of Terry McGinnis fighting alongside Superman, Barda, Warhawk, Aquagirl, and Green Lantern! Maybe we'd get a Flash...or Superman would meet his son that he had with Lashina. The possibilities are endless!
For JL Season 4, I would have liked to see a bit more exploration of the Sinestro Corps. I think that unwritten episode-turned comic would have been an excellent segway for that.
I'd have also liked to see Hal Jordan. And maybe even Hal Jordan, story permitting.
I hereby pitch a musical episode. I don’t know if Music Meister was created yet, but you could use Mr. Mxyzptlk. The plot could be it’s time to mess with Superman again, but he had promised to take his girlfriend out on a date to prove he cares for her. So, he gets two birds with one stone and makes the JL be like it’s some sort of musical theatre thing for the date. This pitch would be rejected immediately, but wouldn’t be fun to think about.
That sounds amazing, I’m annoyed this doesn’t exist now
Here is what a JLU Season 4 should have had, more of DC's world. What I mean by that is more locations from the comics. I also really liked the character centric episodes (exploring backstories, following a mystery, etc). I love watching your videos (and listening to the podcast) and keep up the good work. Stay Yoppie!
You upload this after I started rewatching JLU for the first time in a few months last night and that intro is exactly me lmao
Its possible, given the space-centric plotline, the desire to use Adam Strange and Carter Hall and wrap up some loose ends with Thanagar, that we would have gotten a loose adaptation of the then-recent Rann-Thanagar War storyline, released in 2005
Right? The Rann-Thanagar War is even hinted at in JLvsF5! We did a whole video a few years ago about our take on what that could've maybe looked like in the DCAU!
Great video as always :)
I would absolutely expect a return from Amazo in a hypothetical new episode!
Great video. Love the Trek and Who references. As a 50 something I’d still be watching them if the seasons had gone on. Have them on disc, and my now young adult son still rewatches (as do I).
I like Black Lightning but it be nice if they would use Black Vulcan! like some sort of canonical story and add in Soul Power and Sparky! maybe a team up **w** or some story where they are all the same person, and it makes perfect sense!
Terrific video! I love your channel so much! I love what we got but a 4th season would be awesome! Definitely would've liked to have seen Hal Jordan. Spector sounds good too! you always deliver some fantastic reports.
Thank you!
If another season of JLU was made, I would have liked to see more of the green lantern corp, especially more Kilowog.
I would have liked to have seen the time/space travel option that was mentioned. This could have given us a proper Golden Age JSA story, another Legion story, and more. Also, I would have loved to see more of the Marvel Family. The Beyond universe would also be fun, but maybe just for one story, not a whole season.
Man, and I thought Bruce Timm sharing (almost) two names with Bruce Wayne and Tim Drake was confusing enough; enter Matt Wayne

I would've loved to have seen more WonderBat in season 4, but I would've loved to have also seen the 'present' team actually meet the future team (since they met an alternate future version in Season 1).
I would have liked to see a swamp thing episode in a hypothetical addictional JLU season. If the season had been set in space that might have been a little hard to do, but the whole final section of alan moore's swamp thing was a journey through space and there's no reason why they couldnt have done a single episode back on earth as a change of pace.
I think for a season 4, if the Bat Embargo was lifted, make in a season long celebration of that by reintegrating Batman's rogues and allies, perhaps having the Joker himself as the big bad of the season trying to make a joke out of all the other world enders by trying to make everyone go out in one glorious big bang. And perhaps, he even wins, setting off to season 5 through time travel and multiverse shenanigans to restore the surviving hero's lost world.
this is what DC needs, hell you making this video was we needed
I would have liked to see more Wonder Woman and Batman stories that fully answered if they became a couple or not. Also some more flash stories, possibly dealing with exploring the speed force after Divided We Fall.
They became a thing in JLI
All i would have wanted from a season 4 of jlu is more Jeffrey Combs as the Question.
Side note that thumbnail goes HARDDDD
Can’t wait for justice league unlimited season 4 to be brought back and be centred only around Nemesis.
There are dozens of us!
DOZENS!!!
I was 11 when BTAS came out and still hold it as the pinnacle of animation and story telling. As I grew up and watched the years of Superman vs Darkseid battles happen only to finish JLU with their final battle, I can honestly say I was jumping up and down once I heard the famous line "..just how powerful I really am." I will forever miss that part of my life with the DCAU.
ok hear me out, a JLU episode on Amazos perspective, he reaches the end of the universe, decides to go back and become *Skeets* !
Justice League Infinity josses this.
A Nightwing/Huntress episode would be nice as well as a Birds of Prey episode with Batgirl, Black Canary and Huntress.
Check out our video all about the Birds of Prey episode of JLU that never happened!
What’s funny is that the O Squad is a thing in the comics. Not a canon story, but still
