    • The casting of the movie contains two, according to interviews with Bruce Timm. According to one interview, James Woods was set to be in the DCAU version before it got pulled, though it's unclear who he was going to play (Timm said he'd still been Owlman, but Andera Romano, Dwayne McDuffie and Woods himself believe he was going to play the good Luthor). According to another, Vanessa Marshall, who voiced Wonder Woman for the film, was in the running of the role in Justice League and came close, but the producers picked Susan Eisenberg instead for the series.
