  • In "Superman: The Animated Series," Dan Turpin was visually based on comics legend Jack Kirby, who had recently passed. So it was only fitting for the fictional "Kirby" to have his funeral attended by...a bunch of his creations and influences. And guess what? The new HD release of this episode TOTALLY restored these cameos!

    The characters/people were there because they were important to Jack Kirby. I don't think continuity should matter much there. The Fantastic Four attended the funeral, but otherwise, they don't exist in the DCAU.
    If you really want an in-universe explanation, then I would suggest something like this:
    Mr. Fantastic was monitoring the multiverse and found out about the upcoming funeral in a different world. He then built a machine to transport everyone there, so they could pay their respects. Then, everyone went back to their own worlds.

      Isn’t that more like the Squadron Supreme? Marvel characters who are clearly based on DC’s Justice League, but are still considered separate characters.
      Earth-8 would be the other way around, then.
      Of course, the Avengers once had a full-on crossover team-up with the Justice League, so their universes are able to connect under the right circumstances.

How they adapted the New Gods and how their send off for Dan Turpin here was a great tribute to Jack Kirby, the King that both DC and Marvel, and comics in general owe much to. Adding back all the cameos of his creations and friends is a great touch though I hope they put back the dedication card.

    8:31 and the lack of Ben Grimm the thing. I guess Ben was trying to look for a suit for the funeral but then suddenly caught in a fight with the hulk and Solomon Grundy and some of the heavy hitters of Superman’s rouge gallery that cause him to miss the funeral, as for where he was before the rest of the fantastic four left for the funeral, he was at a bar. As for why the hulk fight the thing out of nowhere is because of Loki mind controlled him which he got so angry that he broke the mind control and “puny god” Loki, then some cops started to shoot at him and he started throw stuff at the cops and Ben Grimm had to come in and beat him up

    I had heard about this funeral scene being redone after it had aired once, but I didn't know the reason until now. I had heard that it was redone because the characters were off model, which was obviously not what really happened.
    In a strange coincidence, the 2003 4Kids Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon also had a Jack Kirby tribute episode ("The King") which also was altered after its original airing. It's an adaptation of one of the Mirage TMNT comics, where Donatello meets an artist named Kirby (who's drawn to look pretty much like Jack Kirby).
    This Kirby has a magic crystal that he has attached to his pencil, that will bring his drawings to life. Don and Kirby are transported (via a portal that had also become real after Kirby drew it) to the world where these living drawings end up after they disappear from ours, and Kirby sacrifices his chance to go home so that Don can return. Before the portal closes forever, a piece of paper flies out which Don picks up.
    In the originally aired version, Don immediately looks at the paper and sees its a note from Kirby with a drawing of the Turtle, with the message: "Life at best is bittersweet". Then the episode abruptly ends. (I think there was a Jack Kirby dedication card at the end, too.)
    In the revised version (which, IIRC, Peter Laird paid for out of his own pocket), an extra scene (that was also in the original comic) is added, where Donatello and Raphael have a conversation when Don gets home, and only after that does he read the note from Kirby. This revised version was on the original DVD release. (Not sure if the other version was ever seen again.)
    This story had also previously been adapted into a children's storybook back in the 80s or 90s (during the height of Turtlemania), using the 1980s cartoon design but otherwise pretty much the same as the original comic story.

      Marvel Comics had a Cameo of Clark Kent (this was before the Crossover, & it was Earth-616) but that Clark was a Normal Human (so Clark existed on Earth-616 but not Superman)
      So the same can be applied to these Characters
      Tony wouldn't be Iron Man
      Steve wouldn't be Captain America
      &
      Nick Fury wouldn't be the Leader of Shield
      To make some examples
      They would exist but without the Super Hero Alterego they would have a lesser impact on the DCAU than named characters

    Hey. If Marvel can run a whole non-canon story of Bruce Wayne being a SHIELD agent. I do not see why DC can pay tribute to a man who literally gave them both iconic heroes and villains for their respected companies. After all. If Marvel (Disney really) does sue. The only people who would win big. The lawyers. The true villains.

    I always thought Turpin was going return because, like you said, Darkseid used his Omega Beams to transport Bruno Mannheim to Apokolips. So I thought “oh, maybe he’s been transported like Bruno was” and that we would see him in the series finale.

    I started thinking when you talked about why Steve Roger's and Tony Stark never made to JL and if Nick Fury was on Cadmus.
    I'm a pretty big fan of both Marvel and DC (although more Marvel) and especially their TV adaptations (Avengers:EMH and DCAU). I have dreamt these past months how would a shared universe of those cartoons be. Maybe just one universe inside a lot of ones where Iron Man and Batman work one day to fight Bane and the next one all JLU and Avengers go to space to fight Darkseid and Thanos. I know there are some comics exploring that idea but I don't think they get into that a lot.
    I wonder, specifically with this TV series, how would a shared universe be? Can both Justice League and Avengers coexist? Will the Avengers Breakout affect other prisons (maybe Arkham but they always escape so, meh)? We will have two secret invasions (Skrull and Imperium)? How would Cadmus affect both teams? Maybe some DC villains join the Masters of Evil and Marvel villains join the Legion of Doom?
    Personally I have the idea of Copperhead joining the Serpent Society and some shared origin for Amazo and the Super Adaptoid.
    But well, some of my thoughts. I think this is an interesting idea but hey, if you want to have a debate it may be fun.

    Restoring Kirby's creations back in to the second part of Apokolips now for Turpin's funeral was a must, it always should have been there. but deleting the Kirby inmemoriam in the new edit is heartless from HBO MAX.
    Also probably done by some soulless hack editing that had no idea what he was doing.
    time to do another edit goober, restore those backgrounds and replace that King memoriam.
    Also, Timm was always a fan of placing cameos from himself and his crew in episodes within the Timmverse animations.
    But Danial Terpin rules them all. all hail the king!
