Justice League (animation)/Trivia: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

** Ed Asner as Granny Goodness, a role he had previously played in ''[[Superman: The Animated Series (Animation)|Superman the Animated Series]]'' and would reprise in ''[[Superman Batman Apocalypse]]''.

** [[Grey De Lisle (Music)|Grey De Lisle]] voiced both halves of the [[Captain Ersatz]] of the [[Wonder Twins]], including the male Downpour.

** The episode "Legends" was originally supposed to feature the [[Justice Society of America|JSA]], but DC management informed the show's producers that they could not use the JSA (they were trying to establish the comics as a non-parody group, which the episode would have been counterproductive) and the show had to come up with the [[Expy|expies]] that were used in the episode proper. Footage of the animated JSA leaked online, however, and a team picture can be found [http://dcanimated.wikia.com/wiki/File:Justice_Society_of_America.jpg Pic here.]

* [[Fake American]]: [[Jennifer Hale]], who voices Zatanna, is Canadian.

** [[Scrubs (TV)|John C. McGinley]] voicing The Atom, Michael Ironside as Darkseid, [[Star Trek the Next Generation (TV)|Michael Dorn]] as Kalibak (reprising the role and he had voiced Steel on ''[[Superman: The Animated Series (Animation)|Superman the Animated Series]]''), as mentioned [[Ed Asner]] as Granny Goodness, [[Star Trek Voyager (TV)|Robert Picardo]] as AMAZO, [[Gargoyles (Animation)|Keith David]] as Despero, [[A Nightmare On Elm Street (Film)|Robert Englund]] as Felix Faust, [[Star Trek Deep Space Nine (TV)|Jeffrey Combs]] as the Question, pretty much the entire cast of ''[[Firefly (TV)|Firefly]]'', and, well, just see the pages for ''[[Superman: The Animated Series (Animation)|Superman the Animated Series]]'' and ''[[Batman: The Animated Series (Animation)|Batman the Animated Series]]'', as most of their voices ended up here too, plus so many more mainstream celebs that a full list would fill half this page.

** Skeets, [[Booster Gold]]'s robot sidekick, is voiced by [[Billy West]], in pretty much the exact same voice the actor uses for [[Futurama (Animation)|Fry]].

** Green Lantern shares a name with real-life ''[[The Daily Show (TV)|The Daily Show]]'' host Jon Stewart, though with different spelling. A popular [[Wild Mass Guessing|WMG]] is that it is [[Secret Identity|more than a coincidence]]...

** "In Blackest Night" is about GL on trial for the destruction of a planet in a nod to ''Cosmic Odyssey''. It has nothing to do with [[Blackest Night (Comic Book)|zombie Lanterns.]]

** Famously averted with Batman. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoRundeX6O0 Yes, really]. This is something the producers have been ''dying'' to work into the show ever since ''[[Batman: The Animated Series (Animation)|Batman the Animated Series]]'', when they discovered [[Kevin Conroy (Creator)|Kevin Conroy]]'s magnificent singing voice quite by accident.

** Jeffrey Combs does his own singing as The Question, although it is [[Played for Laughs]]. Still kind of good though.

* [[Talking to Himself]] - Many of the minor villains like Deadshot or random bystanders are voiced by the main cast members. More prominently, [[Phil La Marr|Static and Green Lantern]] have pretty lengthy conversations. Done [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PETk8eBbfN0 literally] by Batman at the end of the first ''Unlimited'' season...[[Badass Crew|while yet another Batman is in the same room]].

* [[Throw It In]] - It was implied that Cheetah was killed by Solomon Grundy in ''Injustice For All'', but when the animators mistakenly drew her being arrested at the end of the episode, it was simply easier to say she was alive.

* [[What Could Have Been]] - Numerous plots and ideas were dreamed up by the writers, and some even went to the scripting and storyboarding stage, before they had to be abandoned for one reason or another before the actual episodes were produced. These include, but are not limited to:

** The [[Justice Society of America]] was planned to appear in "Legends", which was an [[Affectionate Parody]] of [[The Golden Age of Comic Books]]. This idea went so far as to have character designs and promotional stills produced, but they were forced to transform the Society into the Justice ''Guild'' of America by [[DC Comics]], who said they could not use the original characters.
