== Future Bruce did remember time traveling. ==
Line 31:
In "A Better World," which introduced the Justice Lords, Lord Martian Manhunter and the real one have a battle of the shapeshifters in the climax, which ended when Luthor took away the loser's powers. Only Lord Manhunter ''wasn't'' the loser.
 
Several episodes later, J'onn finds himself posing as the Society's shapeshifter; he goads Grodd to kill the league, not because he's playing the part of an actor who's [[Seen It a Million Times]], but because he wants revenge for his team. When this fails, he bides his time until the events of Unlimited Season one, where he sees his rivals going down the same path his league did and begins to realize he has grown distant from humanity. This theory is helped by the fact that he acknowledges Flash's plan of "keep me alive to prevent the end of the world" with a [[Dude, Not Funny]] tone.
* When he suggested that Grodd kill the Justice League, he said "Let me..." before being cut off.
* So you could say seeing the League start down the Lords' path resulted in him [[Becoming the Mask]]?
Line 39:
In "Clash", since Captain Marvel showed up, Superman was acting all uppity. He was too strict with his criticism of Captain Marvel (even Batman thought so) and was obsessed with disarming the bomb before anyone could come to any conclusions regarding its nature, instead of just trying to save the people and letting it blow up Lex's city, thus revealing him as a supervillain all along and saving face in case it didn't blow up.
 
But Captain Marvel came in and acted like [[TheAlways MinnesotaSomeone FatsBetter|Someone Better]] - defeating Parasite in one punch, and acting on what he preached about forgiveness and such, which turned him into a media darling. Supes himself had to deal with lots of media criticism. So, Superman's behavior in the episode had less to do with Lex and more with his jealousy of Captain Marvel.
* Not so much a WMG as "what was blatantly shown onscreen". And now, look up and watch the Kids Superpower Hour opening. If you're the type of person that gets jealous of him ''now'', you need help. Seriosuly.
 
Line 45:
J'onn didn't need to patch him through to tell Superman about the Kryptonite theft at STAR Labs. Cadmus (bah-buh-buhhhhh!) did it for him.
 
== Thanagar was screwed even without Hawkgirl's [[Becoming the Mask]]. ==
During the occupation of Earth and the construction of the hyperspace bypass generator, the entire Gordanian fleet was already bearing down on Thanagar (as mentioned by the High Command in "Starcrossed, Part I"). After the generator was destroyed, Hro Talek was recalled to Thanagar; then he found the Gordanians had already conquered it (as revealed in "Hunter's Moon").
 
Line 56:
== John and Shayera never get back together. ==
Saw this theory elsewhere: Shayera and John just plain never get back together. He stays with Mari; she ends up with whatshisname, the Hawkman guy. They have a son. John ends up adopting this son when both parents die at a young age. Hence the last name being Stewart and the son calling John his father.
* Except his first name was Rex, the same as John's old friend from the Marines (who later became [[Metamorpho (Comic Book)|Metamorpho]]).
** Maybe they died quickly after the child's birth, and didn't even have time to name it. John adopted him and chose to name him Rex. Or the kid was dying or something, and they needed a compound that didn't exist on Earth to save him (we don't know much about Thanagarian biology); Rex created it, saving the child's life, and the grateful parents named boy after him.
* You don't have to be "together" to conceive a child...you just need one night.
Line 69:
 
== Flash doesn't just run really fast - he's subconsciously controlling time. ==
At least, for himself and anyone physically connected to him. When you think about it, this is exactly what [[Super Speed]] ''is''. Time, after all, is a [[Timey -Wimey Ball|funny thing]], and every single individual possesses their own sense of it. That's why we can operate as individuals on a four dimensional level after all, right?
 
Maybe Flash is subconsciously manipulating his own connection to the Timestream. Flash can go as fast as he wants - and the faster he goes, the slower the rest of the world seems by comparison. This could be what other versions of the Flash mean when they say ''"I'm not going '''fast''' - everything else is going '''slow'''."'' Maybe the Flash (and therefore all Speedsters) can manipulate their own personal "bubble of time" to utilise what to us(and him) just looks like Superspeed. Speedsters could be unique in that their brainwave patterns allow them/have been altered to allow them to think subconsciously on a quantum level - it's already established that Wally's a forensic scientist, so he's certainly got a good brain in his head, but then maybe it's got nothing to ''do'' with conscious intellect. Speedsters don't just run fast - they change time to suit their needs, literally [[Reality Warper|warping the universal space]] directly around them.
Line 77:
** It wouldn't really matter how long it took in subjective time, though. He'd be bored, but it would get the job done.
*** How would he even build up momentum in that case? If the guy's going on some ridiculous year-long marathon around the world, he's not going to be sprinting the whole way, building up speed the ''entire time''. He'd just end up jogging, resting, sleeping, finding food, etc. and basically just going way slower than his top speed.
*** Alternative to this theory (which doesn't discredit the original, but messes with it a lot): Just because he's Warping Space Time around himself doesn't necessarily mean he sees everything in subjective time. That would suggest that he's projecting his ability across the ''entire universe'' which is a lot more surprising than the idea that he's just controllng the bubble of time around ''himself''. He doesn't age even when his heartbeat is going a million times a subjective minute, so obviously he can control his own body's developmental rate, and separate his biological functions from his internal physics. So in other words, it's only his OWN time he's controlling, and he's subconsciouly disconnecting from the logical progression of time in the universe. Maybe the [[Timey -Wimey Ball]] ultimately doesn't make any logical sense in our understanding of logic (that's why Time paradoxes occur in fiction, right?)
** DC Canon elsewhere suggests that it's the Timestream controlling the Flashes, sort of. Using superspeed at sufficiently high speeds sufficiently often will land you into speedster Instrumentality in the comics. "Live fast, disappear young..."
**** Doesn't explain how he's able to run up vertical surfaces........
Line 117:
* Alternatively, [[The Venture Bros|three packs a day]]. For the last few centuries.
 
== The Question is the Scarecrow from ''[[Batman: theThe Animated Series]]''. ==
They're both voiced by [[Jeffrey Combs]]. Both of them are intelligent, and under their masks, are men with red hair and are rather thin and not very heavyset. Due to the bat embargo, we've never seen any of them in the same place at once. The Question is therefore the Scarecrow, having concocted himself a new identity after his fear gas wiped his mind and left him a paranoid lunatic trying to find answers for himself... which led to him becoming a paranoid lunatic that looked for answers to ALL questions, turning his obsession with fear to his own lack of identity and understanding of the world... thus explaining why he wears a faceless, identity-less mask.
* Yeah... And Ferris Boyle is also the Joker, and Clayface is also Jax-Ur, and Thomas Wayne is also Batman, and Giganta is also Killer Frost, and.......
 
== Dora Smithy, Sister-In-Law to Mr. Freeze in ''[[Gotham Girls]]'', is Killer Frost in ''Justice League'' ==
At the end of [[Gotham Girls]], Dora goes through a similar cold-based accident as her brother in law, something that's never followed up on. However, she has the same [[Jennifer Hale|voice actress]] and [[media:[[Dora Frost]]_9407DoraFrost_9407.JPGjpg|general features]] of the cold-based Killer Frost shown in ''[[Justice League]]''. Suddenly, an ending that's never followed up on, and a villain that never gets an origin story gets tied up rather nicely.
* The thawing process which freed her drove her insane, she mostly likely killed the people who were thawing her out. She becomes more insane after seeing her reflection (a la Joker in the [[Batman (Filmfilm)|Tim Burton movie]] and Two-Face). Blaming Gotham for what happened to her, she becoming a supervillain her. Ironically, she originally donned the suit to rid the city of men and other supervillains in a twisted form of revenge for the suffering her sister endured in the first place.
 
== There is an in-universe explanation for the Bat-Embargo ==
Line 139:
 
== The Question visits this WMG article reguarly ==
He needs new material for his conspiracy theory [[String Theory|string]] board. Oh, incidentally, Question, what ''is'' [[What the Heck Is An Aglet?|the true purpose of an aglet]]?
* Wouldn't surprise me if the Question created WMG solely for that purpose. For all we know he could have planned TV Tropes from the start with a little help from [[Xanatos Planned This Index|Xanatos]].
** The bigger question for Question is - how is Huntress in bed? She is daughter of Batman after all...
Line 156:
*** Maybe not all, but SOME of them is quite possible.
 
== Aglet is the name of a [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can|sealed]] [[Cosmic Horror]] that gains power every time its name is said ==
And when it's said enough times, the world is doomed
* [[Tempting Fate|Aglet Aglet Aglet]] [[Idiot Ball|Aglet Aglet Aglet]] [[Too Stupid to Live|Aglet Aglet Aglet]] [[Running Gag|Aglet Aglet Aglet]] [[Genre Blind|Aglet Aglet Aglet]] [[Say My Name|Aglet Aglet Aglet]] [[Humans Are Morons|Aglet Aglet Aglet]] [[What an Idiot!|Aglet Aglet Aglet]] [[Overly Long Gag|Aglet Aglet Aglet]] [[Speak of the Devil|Aglet Aglet Aglet]] [[I Know Your True Name|Aglet Aglet Aglet]] [[The Scottish Trope|Aglet Aglet Aglet]] [[You Keep Using That Word|Aglet Aglet Aglet,]] [[Sdrawkcab Name|oh, and Telga.]]
* You fool. You've doomed us all.
 
Line 175:
 
== Nightwing isn't a part-timer like Batman, he's a reservist like Speedy. ==
They are BFF and often get together over coffee, because it's nice to have a friend who knows ''exactly'' what it's like to grow up the youthful ward and witty sidekick of a [[Badass Normal]] [[Crimefighting Withwith Cash|Crimefighter with Cash]] who inspires lots of mentor rage. The reason Nightwing never deigned to appear in [[Batman Beyond]]? He was with Speedy in Bludhaven, watching Terry on the news and teasing him about the day Green Arrow Beyond showed up.
 
== JLU takes place after the flashback in ''[[Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker]]''. ==
That explains why Joker didn't show his face for this series.
* That also explains why Batman's ears are not long, though, they still are in the original [[Justice League]]....
