I'm glad Starro is being used better here than in Batman Beyond.
Sounds like B&B is setting him up as a major, almost-Galactus-like menace.

I kind of liked that story there, but having Superman "possessed" by Starro for years seemed a bit much. Timm agreed they shouldn't have went that far, and in an interview said he wished they'd just cut that line about "it's been on him for years".

I'm wondering now if they won't use the Starro plot to do a Justice League of America episode/finale, especially since they've shown the team in the sidekicks ep? A nod to the JLA origin in B&B #28?
And you know who I'm surprised hasn't shown up yet?

Yes, the Golden Age Hawkman was...I was meaning the Thanagarian Hawkman & Hawkgirl, sorry.Comment

I don't really expect to see multiples of the same exact character in this cartoon. The Gold and Silver Hawks were pretty much the same visually. Besides as current continuity goes, the Thanagarian and GA Hawks were all rolled into one explaination.You must try to generate happiness within yourself.

I think that the writers of this show have realized what DC Comics themselves don't quite get - that people can figure out the difference between the two Flashes, Hawkmen, GLs, etc. with just a little bit of explanation ("There was a Flash during the war, he got older, and then a second younger Flash took up the name. Occasionally they team-up.") It's not hard really. They have no problem so far jumping Batman through time without explanation (Enemy Ace, Kamandi) or bringing in more obscure heroes like Detective Chimp or B'wana Beast. I could see a Hawkman episode set in space, no problem. Granted they are pretty close visually, but they could be done with some changes to the helmet & belt and a one line explanation similar to the Jay Flash comment I made above.And I don't think current DC continuity matters to the writers of the show, quite the opposite it appears that the Silver Age versions get the nod in most cases (exceptions being modern age created characters like The Outsiders & Bronze Tiger...Metamorpho notwithstanding, but it seems like the real Silver Age influence hit toward the end of Season One).
They've already shown two Blue Beetles without issue...plus the whole Green Lantern corps...and Hal Green Lantern in the Despero episode & both he and Barry Flash just showed up in cameo in the last episode.
Oh, and watching the sidekick episode again, I noticed that Fire was in that JLA grouping at the beginning as well. Missed her last time..the grouping consisted of Batman, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Fire, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Wonder Woman, Superman, Flash, & Green Lantern.
Looks like this week will bring Firestorm to the show...then next week maybe Superman or Mon-El? My DVR lists the episode as Batman on Planet X meeting a super counterpart to battle mad genius Rhotul (LUTHOR anagram?).
I've also read that we can expect Phantom Stranger, The Spectre, Viking Prince, Haunted Tank, Vixen, & Wonder Woman to appear this season as well.Last edited by johnnystorm; Feb 1, '10, 8:03 AM.Comment

I think Rhotul is a future Lex Luthor descendant...There was a Joker (Rekoj) one also I thought...Think OUTSIDE the Box! For the BEST in Repro & Custom Packaging!Comment

Bolt's poke-a-dot Dude was there too !
So was Catman .
FireStorm's character made me think..., with Jason and Ronnie both combined in the show..., and in Blackest Night right now..., perhaps that is the Direction DC Will go in the Books ?
Stoner Batman was Kinda Entertaining..... The Original Knight ..., Often Imitated, However Never Duplicated. The 1st Knight in Customs.

Can you or anyone ID all of these guys? I've slo-moed the recent episode & consulted my Batman encyclopedia, but I'm stumped on a few...
I spotted Sweet Tooth, Simon the Pieman, Signalman, Mirror Man, Tiger Shark, Fire Fly, etc. And so nice to see Killer Moth, Catman, & Cavalier again!
But who are:
the black/orange guy with the extra eyes
the green atomic guy
the cobra guy
the blue/white zodiac guy
the green tubular armored guy
the cowboy
Just curious...Last edited by PNGwynne; Feb 7, '10, 11:31 AM.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment
