For future reference, who's the team?

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.

(xpost, of course)

For future reference, who's the team?

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

I'm assuming that Teen Titans and Batman Beyond aren't in the loop

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.

Starting next season, they are planning to have a rotating cast of characters.

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...

And Atom, Firestorm, LSH, Fate, Zatanna, the New Gods

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.

The New Gods are also cheesy. In fact, who off that list do you like?

I'm curious to see how Firestorm and Flash get along.

They will focus on different characters every episode, Holli. The LSH will only be around for one episode.

Atom, Firestorm and Zatanna all can be handled well. In fact, Warren Ellis is writing the Atom episode, which gives it great cred. Dini is supposedly writing a Zatanna episode, and considering his obvious love of the character, and the way he handled her in the comics, also shows that it has promise.

In fact, who off that list do you like?

Atom, Firestorm, and Zatanna. But I'm basing that off my limited exposure to JLA, the bits of which I read (between 70 and 80 or thereabouts) had a lot of them.
