All of the previous Batman and Superman cartoons by the same team in the 90s are canon for the Justice League cartoon. So, when Supergirl shows up, she's the same Supergirl from, say, "Girl's Night Out" (referenced on The O.C., by the way, and the fact that I correctly identified the episode just from Seth's lines about it should get me at least five fangirl points and a brownie).
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
For future reference, who's the team? I'm assuming that Teen Titans and Batman Beyond aren't in the loop -- those are the only ones I've seen, bar a Harley Quinn ep of Batman. It seemed very different.

Paul Dini is the main guy, I think. Batman Beyond is in continuity with the Batman Animated series. They refer to it a lot and have all kinds of fab continuity details. I think Teen Titans would be out of that continuity though.

Paul Dini and Bruce Timm, I think are the guys.

On Teen Titans, nobody even has a secret identity-- Robin's just Robin, and lord knows if the boy even has *eyes*. But I *think* Batman Beyond is in the same 'verse as the rest of the Batman and Superman 'toons. Someone on LJ was talking about how Bats and Robin have guested on a couple of episodes of Static Shock. In one of them Static was bouncing around in time, and at one point ended up in the Batman Beyond Batcave, with Terry and cranky old Bruce. Which would mean that (spoiler for Batman Beyond) *horrible things* are going to happen to Tim .

Well, remember that this episode is the last episode with this team. Starting next season, they are planning to have a rotating cast of characters...

But you're talking characters, right? I was assuming Michele meant creative team.
Now I have to see if I can work out why I thought Batman Beyond wasn't in continuity. Hmm.

Yeah, they showed a preview of it over the credits for "Starcrossed." I'm ambivalent-- on the one hand, less character development. On the other, Green Arrow! Yay!
These are the dilemmas of a fangirl.

And Atom, Firestorm, LSH, Fate, Zatanna, the New Gods and lots, lots more...
Dini is a lot less involved in the new season...

Well, hey, with that list, that's like fifty-fifty odds of not sucking!
Wait, there are ninety-seven thousand people in the goddamn Legion. They're worse than the Potentials. There goes next season.
