Pastiches

The episode "Double Date" featured a crime lord as the primary antagonist that was a mix of two DC Comics character. The character was called Steven Mandragora, but did not visually resemble that character. The appearance was based on Tobias Whale.

The episode "Ultimatum" featured the Ultimen, pastiches of characters created specifically for Hana-Barbara's Super Friends series.

Restricted characters

A few characters have been cited by writers and producers as "off-limits" at various times during the production of the various shows, though they are allowed to appear in the comics based on the show.

Adam Strange

Adam Strange, was originally supposed to appear in "Hunter's Moon", but legal rights prevented that from happening.[3] The episode's original title was "Mystery In Space", the name of the monthly comic that Adam starred in.

Aquaman and Black Manta

Characters from Aquaman comics could not appear due to character rights being reserved for a potential live-action TV series. This resulted in Black Manta's being renamed "Devil Ray" for the series, the character first appearing in an episode that was originally written to feature Aquaman.[4]

Batman related characters

Most characters from the Batman comics due to the "Bat-Embargo" that reserved those characters for the new Batman cartoon The Batman and the new Batman movies. This left only Batman available to be prominently used in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited.[5][6]

This resulted in a partial rewrite of the episode "Double Date". Originally, Barbara Gordon was to appear in the episode. The episode would have her getting injured during a case as Batgirl. Since Bruce forbids her from participating she would recreate herself as Oracle, and get in touch with Black Canary and Huntress to finish her case. Neither of them would meet her in person. Due to the Bat Embargo, the story replaced Batgirl with Green Arrow and the Question.[7]

Some non-speaking and quick cameos did make it in to a few episodes though:

  • Alternate versions of Dick Grayson, Barbara Gordon, Tim Drake, and Cassandra Cain make very brief appearances in the three part "The Savage Time". Drake also makes a brief cameo in "Hereafter Part I" attending Superman's funeral.
  • Hugo Strange briefly appeared at the table with the directors of Project Cadmus in "The Doomsday Sanction". A larger follow up appearance in "Question Authority" had to be re-worked to use Doctor Moon.
  • Nightwing makes a fleeting appearance as a silhouette atop a building in Blüdhaven in the episode "Grudge Match".

Batwoman: Kathy Kane

Kathy Kane the original Silver age Batwoman could not appear as one of the three women to don the costume of Batwoman in the animated movie Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman. According to the featurette included in the DVD release, Alan Burnett explains they had intended to use the name “Kathy Kane” but were asked to change it by DC Comics, thanks to some morally gray actions on the part of the movie Batwoman. This resulted in the character of Kathy Duquesne being created for the show. However, not much later, the a new Batwoman debuted in the new DC continuity being portrayed as a lesbian. The movie however features a near identical character named Sonya Alcana.

Black Lightning

Black Lightning could not appear within the shows due to DC Comics' refusal to pay royalties to his creator, Tony Isabella. This resulted in the character Black Vulcan being created for the show Super Friends. The character Juice is a pastiche of Black Vulcan,[citation needed] and "Soul Power" in Static Shock is also a pastiche Black Lightning.[5][8]

This also affected the characters connected to Black Lightning and also created by Isabella. The original idea for "Double Date" was for Tobias Whale to be the man who murdered Huntress's parents. He was replaced with a villain called Steven Mandragora, whose last name was later used for the man who arranged their deaths in the comic book Huntress: Year One.[citation needed]

Blue Beetle

Blue Beetle could not appear as a member of the Justice League due to rights being tied up until 2007 because of his 1940s radio show and 1980s cartoon proposals.[5]

Captain Marvel

When the Justice League episode, "Hereafter" was being produced, Captain Marvel was set to appear as the temporary 7th member. As the rights to the character and the Marvel Family were unavailable to the show, a self-appointed Lobo took the position instead. Later in the episode it was shown that Aquaman had become the 7th member. Captain Marvel later appeared in "The Clash."[9]

Firestorm

Firestorm could not appear as DC Comics did not allow the producers to include the Ronnie Raymond version of Firestorm in the show.[citation needed]

Legion of Doom

While the production team regularly referred to the collection of villains joining forces in the final major arc of Justice League Unlimited as the "Legion of Doom",[6] DC resisted the use of the term within the show itself.

Plastic Man

Plastic Man was stated by Dwayne McDuffie to be unusable in the show despite being mentioned as a League member by John Stewart in one episode, but he did not explain why.[10] In the episode "The Greatest Story Never Told", Elongated Man complains longly and loudly to Booster Gold about feeling left out in comparison to Plastic Man, given the two's very similar powers (although Plastic Man can change into objects, Elongated Man is also one of the premiere detectives of the DC Universe).

Phantom Stranger

Bruce Timm had intended to utilize the Phantom Stranger in the DC Animated Universe, but was not allowed to do so.

Teen Titans

The Teen Titans and related characters were off-limits due to the eponymous series. Green Arrow's sidekick Speedy appears in the episode "Patriot Act" following the finale of Teen Titans.[citation needed]

Vertigo characters

Sandman and other Vertigo characters were said by Bruce Timm in a Wizard interview to be considered, featuring an appearance of Neil Gaiman's Sandman character, but they weren't sure how to incorporate it into the tone of the show. He went on to say "But now, it's not even an issue. The whole Vertigo universe is closed off for us."[11] In the same interview, Bruce Timm also states that they did attempt to use the Phantom Stranger and the Spectre but were told they could not use those characters.

Neil Gaiman on the subject: "I always loved the idea of doing a Sandman/Batman Animated cartoon episode, and we were definitely talking about it in '93, after Vertigo came into existence...I'd assumed that they lost interest. But there was definitely some kind of Vertigo/DC divide that came into existence in there somewhere, imposed from DC/Vertigo editorial and above, worried, I was told, that a kid would feel pressured by continuity to pick up a 'For Mature Readers' title and the world would end."[12]

Canceled characters

A few characters were developed by writers and producers during the production of the various shows; however, they ultimately did not appear in any episodes or films.

Cyborgirl and Impulse

When Justice League was pitched to the Kids' WB network, the lineup originally included three young members as proteges for the League. The members would have been Robin, Impulse, and an original character described as a "teenage female version of Cyborg" (Cyborgirl). The promo, which is viewable on the fourth disc of the Justice League Season 1 boxset, is the only appearance of Cyborgirl and Impulse in the DC Animated Universe.[13]

Nightshade

When plans for a Justice League series were originally in development in the late 1990s, Nightshade was included in a roster of prospective Justice League members by producer Bruce Timm. Plans for the original series were canceled and production moved onto Superman: The Animated Series. She did not make into the Justice League series once it entered production.[14]

Nocturna

Nocturna was scheduled to appear in an episode of Batman: The Animated Series as a vampire, but the episode was canceled after Fox censors objected to the storyline, which would have involved Batman being turned into a vampire and craving human blood.[15]

a crime lord as the primary antagonist that was a mix of two DC Comics character The character was called Steven Mandragora but did not visually resemble that character The appearance was based on Tobias Whale The episode Ultimatum featured the Ultimen pastiches of characters created specifically for Hana Barbara s Super Friends series Downpour Zan Juice Black Vulcan Long Shadow Apache Chief Shifter Jayna Wind Dragon Samurai Restricted characters EditA few characters have been cited by writers and producers as off limits at various times during the production of the various shows though they are allowed to appear in the comics based on the show Adam Strange Edit Adam Strange was originally supposed to appear in Hunter s Moon but legal rights prevented that from happening 3 The episode s original title was Mystery In Space the name of the monthly comic that Adam starred in Aquaman and Black Manta Edit Characters from Aquaman comics could not appear due to character rights being reserved for a potential live action TV series This resulted in Black Manta s being renamed Devil Ray for the series the character first appearing in an episode that was originally written to feature Aquaman 4 Batman related characters Edit Most characters from the Batman comics due to the Bat Embargo that reserved those characters for the new Batman cartoon The Batman and the new Batman movies This left only Batman available to be prominently used in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited 5 6 This resulted in a partial rewrite of the episode Double Date Originally Barbara Gordon was to appear in the episode The episode would have her getting injured during a case as Batgirl Since Bruce forbids her from participating she would recreate herself as Oracle and get in touch with Black Canary and Huntress to finish her case Neither of them would meet her in person Due to the Bat Embargo the story replaced Batgirl with Green Arrow and the Question 7 Some non speaking and quick cameos did make it in to a few episodes though Alternate versions of Dick Grayson Barbara Gordon Tim Drake and Cassandra Cain make very brief appearances in the three part The Savage Time Drake also makes a brief cameo in Hereafter Part I attending Superman s funeral Hugo Strange briefly appeared at the table with the directors of Project Cadmus in The Doomsday Sanction A larger follow up appearance in Question Authority had to be re worked to use Doctor Moon Nightwing makes a fleeting appearance as a silhouette atop a building in Bludhaven in the episode Grudge Match Batwoman Kathy Kane Edit Kathy Kane the original Silver age Batwoman could not appear as one of the three women to don the costume of Batwoman in the animated movie Batman Mystery of the Batwoman According to the featurette included in the DVD release Alan Burnett explains they had intended to use the name Kathy Kane but were asked to change it by DC Comics thanks to some morally gray actions on the part of the movie Batwoman This resulted in the character of Kathy Duquesne being created for the show However not much later the a new Batwoman debuted in the new DC continuity being portrayed as a lesbian The movie however features a near identical character named Sonya Alcana Black Lightning Edit Black Lightning could not appear within the shows due to DC Comics refusal to pay royalties to his creator Tony Isabella This resulted in the character Black Vulcan being created for the show Super Friends The character Juice is a pastiche of Black Vulcan citation needed and Soul Power in Static Shock is also a pastiche Black Lightning 5 8 This also affected the characters connected to Black Lightning and also created by Isabella The original idea for Double Date was for Tobias Whale to be the man who murdered Huntress s parents He was replaced with a villain called Steven Mandragora whose last name was later used for the man who arranged their deaths in the comic book Huntress Year One citation needed Blue Beetle Edit Blue Beetle could not appear as a member of the Justice League due to rights being tied up until 2007 because of his 1940s radio show and 1980s cartoon proposals 5 Captain Marvel Edit When the Justice League episode Hereafter was being produced Captain Marvel was set to appear as the temporary 7th member As the rights to the character and the Marvel Family were unavailable to the show a self appointed Lobo took the position instead Later in the episode it was shown that Aquaman had become the 7th member Captain Marvel later appeared in The Clash 9 Firestorm Edit Firestorm could not appear as DC Comics did not allow the producers to include the Ronnie Raymond version of Firestorm in the show citation needed Legion of Doom Edit While the production team regularly referred to the collection of villains joining forces in the final major arc of Justice League Unlimited as the Legion of Doom 6 DC resisted the use of the term within the show itself Plastic Man Edit Plastic Man was stated by Dwayne McDuffie to be unusable in the show despite being mentioned as a League member by John Stewart in one episode but he did not explain why 10 In the episode The Greatest Story Never Told Elongated Man complains longly and loudly to Booster Gold about feeling left out in comparison to Plastic Man given the two s very similar powers although Plastic Man can change into objects Elongated Man is also one of the premiere detectives of the DC Universe Phantom Stranger Edit Bruce Timm had intended to utilize the Phantom Stranger in the DC Animated Universe but was not allowed to do so Teen Titans Edit The Teen Titans and related characters were off limits due to the eponymous series Green Arrow s sidekick Speedy appears in the episode Patriot Act following the finale of Teen Titans citation needed Vertigo characters Edit Sandman and other Vertigo characters were said by Bruce Timm in a Wizard interview to be considered featuring an appearance of Neil Gaiman s Sandman character but they weren t sure how to incorporate it into the tone of the show He went on to say But now it s not even an issue The whole Vertigo universe is closed off for us 11 In the same interview Bruce Timm also states that they did attempt to use the Phantom Stranger and the Spectre but were told they could not use those characters Neil Gaiman on the subject I always loved the idea of doing a Sandman Batman Animated cartoon episode and we were definitely talking about it in 93 after Vertigo came into existence I d assumed that they lost interest But there was definitely some kind of Vertigo DC divide that came into existence in there somewhere imposed from DC Vertigo editorial and above worried I was told that a kid would feel pressured by continuity to pick up a For Mature Readers title and the world would end 12 Canceled characters EditA few characters were developed by writers and producers during the production of the various shows however they ultimately did not appear in any episodes or films Cyborgirl and Impulse Edit When Justice League was pitched to the Kids WB network the lineup originally included three young members as proteges for the League The members would have been Robin Impulse and an original character described as a teenage female version of Cyborg Cyborgirl The promo which is viewable on the fourth disc of the Justice League Season 1 boxset is the only appearance of Cyborgirl and Impulse in the DC Animated Universe 13 Nightshade Edit When plans for a Justice League series were originally in development in the late 1990s Nightshade was included in a roster of prospective Justice League members by producer Bruce Timm Plans for the original series were canceled and production moved onto Superman The Animated Series She did not make into the Justice League series once it entered production 14 Nocturna Edit Nocturna was scheduled to appear in an episode of Batman The Animated Series as a vampire but the episode was canceled after Fox censors objected to the storyline which would have involved Batman being turned into a vampire and craving human blood 15 References Edit The Justice Guild of
