Had the JL series continued what would you liked to have seen?

I might've also had many of the characters that have already appeared be more central to the stories or fleshed out a piece of the backstory that wasn't mentioned before previously. Like anyshow, after a while you kinda wonder why the one perticular character or plot thread wasn't seen or touched again even though in the character's last appearence, their ending was left ambiguous. Vandal Savage & Morgaine le Fey, being characters from the earlier episodes, i would've liked to have seen again. The show itself as i said, could've gone on much longer and i find the series is sorely missed on the WB's schedule of daily shows these days. Even if we now got Young Justice, Batman: Brave And The Bold. We'll later get a Green Lantern series this year, even though its now in CGI.

I was merely reminiscing over what might've been, and wanted to ask; what if JLU continued? There are so many questions as to what might've been seen had the show gone on longer, figured my thread was a way for me to put some of those ideas down if they could be considered a form of making an 'series outline' of some sort, even if fan made. Just consider it, my passionate way to explore multiple ideas on what could've followed up on the final episode; 'Destroyer'!

If you want to use mine as an example; what possible Justice League Unlimited season ideas do the JLU fans have of their own?!

Other ideas
.An episode with Booster Gold with The Big 7 returning to a ruined future may have been good.
.Expansion on the Fire-Flash relationship while fighting Captain Cold
.Diana and Bruce finally get together after an expierence with Joker and Ares
.Captain Marvel returning with a problem involving Dr. Sivana and Black Adam
.Gorilla Grodd mind controlling Earth and the League must fight hypnotized civillians and VILLAINs
.An older Cyborg from the Teen Tians joining the League with fellow Titans, Nightwing, Beast Boy, and Starfire
.Aquaman returning when Starro comes to Atlantis.
.Joker starts a club called Gotham Baddies with Two-Face, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Bane, Riddler, Catwoman, Mr. Freeze, and a Bizzro like version of Batman named Batzarro
.An episode with Superboy being made by Eiling
. Episode where Black Lightning, Firestorm, Blue Beetle, and Guy Gardner are presented as new heroes in the League and must defeat Sinestro.
.Finally Starro comes to Earth after getting Atlantis and the Big 7 with a few other Leaguers that weren't captured must save the world with help from The Doom Patrol, Teen Titans( Cyborg and Starfire, Beast Boy, and Nightwing are in this group), the real Justice Society, and a recently resurected Luthor with his group of baddies(Joker, Cheetah, Killer Frost, Giganta, and more)
.The season ends with Batman stating" WE ARE NOT THE HEROES, BUT WE ARE jUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED
.Then another season starts with villains such as Clock King, Deadshot, Mongul, Luthor, Deathstroke, Circe, Joker, Cheetah,Black Manta, and more.

Also I think in almost every episode all the 7 appear with 2 goin on a mission with 1 or 2 or 3 expanded League members

If it were me, here’s what I’d write for a Justice League Season 4:

[This is intended as a broad outline and not a complete story. It’s rough and I haven’t worked out all the details]

The season is set in the year 2009*. The original Ubu (The one who appears in the episodes “THE DEMON’S QUEST”, “AVATAR”, “SHOWDOWN” and “THE DEMON REBORN”) has been killed. We open on a trial by combat being held by the Society of Shadows. The winner of this tournament will inherit the title of “Ubu”.

*Or December of 2008, with a sequence set on New Year’s Eve following the introduction of Ra’s Al Ghul – perhaps a fight between Batman and the Joker that’s an homage to The Long Halloween. In any event, the season is established as being set in 2009.

The winner is anointed by Ra’s Al Ghul, the season’s primary antagonist**. Ra’s daughter Talia is also present. Other possible characters who might be there include a young (like pre-teen young) Curaré from “A TOUCH OF CURARÉ”, and a young Mutro Botha and Devon the Master Assassin from “FINAL CUT”. Kurima (a member of the Society of Assassins who was mentioned in “FINAL CUT” but never shown) might also be there.

**I realize that, going solely by the comics, the Society of Shadows might not seem like strong enough antagonists for the Justice League. But the episode “OFF BALANCE” featured the Flash villain Vertigo as a rogue member of the Society. This set a precedent of non-comics-members of the League of Assassins being established as members of the Society. So I figure they can just press gang whomever they need to in order to take on the League.

Ra’s Al Ghul believes that, after centuries of searching, he has found a source of ultimate power to rejuvenate the Earth. The season will cut back and forth between Ra’s efforts in the present and his efforts in the past – as well as his various encounters with other past heroes of the DC universe. Given that Ra’s Al Ghul will have been around for over six hundred years by 2009, there should be a lot of room to play.

The Mythology behind the season’s story is this: Sometime during the 13TH Century (by Earth’s chronology), a member of the Green Lantern Corps. named Yalan Gur was bonded with a mystical orb known as the Starheart. The energy of the orb was fused with the energy from his power ring and he became corrupted when the combined energies overwhelmed him. The Green Lantern Corp. ultimately managed to defeat him by separating him from the Starheart, but the mystical object was lost in the process. The Starheart went missing in Sector Two-Eight-One Four, and the Guardians of the Universe thought nothing of this at the time. This was because Sector Two-Eight-One-Four was the galactic equivalent of the Bermuda triangle. Things were constantly going into the sector, never to be heard from again. It didn’t seem possible that indigenous life-forms might actually be living down there.
But there was something down there. The Starheart fell to earth as a meteor passing over ancient China. It’s descent was observed by monks studying at the temple of Nanda Parbat. The monks perceived this meteor as a good omen because it had a green trail of fire trailing behind it. The monks sent a young trainee to recover the meteor. The Starheart lands in a Himalayan river and a green flame erupts from the water. A voice from within the flame foretells a prophecy: It will flame three times, once to bring Death, once to bring Life, and once to bring Power. Unfortunately, no one is around to hear this prophecy.

ONCE TO BRING DEATH: Chang, the student in training with recovering the “meteor” is drawn by the light source of the green flame. Chang arrives just as the fire is dying, and when it goes out, he collects the meteor. His teachers task him with fashioning the meteor into a lamp. He is killed when the lamp is first lit and as a result, the monks regard the lantern as a dangerous weapon of power.
ONCE TO BRING LIFE: When the Starheart landed in Himalayan mountains it contaminated the water supply of the local river. The river empties out into a subterranean lake located dead within one of the mountains. The Lake is turned into the Lazerus Pit as a result of contact with the meteor. The Society of Shadows discovers the Lazarus Pit sometime in the 14TH century. There elderly leader, whom they call Ra’s Al Ghul, is submerged in the pit. The lamp located at the temple of Nada Parbat lights up, and Ra’s Al Ghul is rejuvenated. But this rejuvenation causes a fever dream, and he plagued by images of the Starheart lamp. This fever dream drives him temporarily insane. Once Ra’s recovers from the fever dream he begins searching the globe for the lamp.
ONCE TO BRING POWER: Ra’s Al Ghul tracks the lamp to Nanada Parbat sometime during the early 20TH century. The Society of Shadows attacks the temple, and the temple monks determine that the lamp is no longer safe there. They resolve to re-locate it somewhere else. An Agent of the temple is tasked with relocating the lamp. This agent is traveling by train through Gotham City (on his way to another location) when there is a bridge collapse. Alan Scott, the young engineer conducting the train, finds the lamp and recovers it. Once he has returned home with the lamp the green flame erupts for a third time. The flame instructs him how to fashion the lamp into a ring. Scott becomes empowered by the Starheart and is turned into Earth’s first Green Lantern.

Yalan Gur escapes from the Green Lantern Corps. and tracks the missing starheart to Earth. He defeats Alan Scott and takes the ring for himself. He eats the ring, and it’s energy fuses with his own power-ring, turning him into an all powerful creature of chaos magic. This eruption of Chaos Magic attracts the attention of Kent Nelso who tries to defeat him. But Gur is too powerful for the Doctor Fate, and the hero is summarily defeated. The battle between Gur and Fate brings the planet Earth to the attention of Guardians of the Universe for the first time. They induct Alan Scott into the Green Lantern Corps. The Guardians inform Doctor Fate and Alan Scott that Gur cannot be destroyed, and instead must be contained. They tell him that Gur is powerless against wood. Fate brings together a team of Gotham based heroes to help him entrap Gur. These Heroes include Alan Scott (The Green Lantern) Black Canary (Dinah Drake), Wildcat (Ted Grant), The Flash (Jay Garrick) The Atom (Al Pratt) and The Sandman (Wesley Bernard Dodds). Also present a young boy named John Carr. Carr is the heir to the Carr Family, the owners of the railroad at which Alan Scott Works.
The seven heroes manage to entrap Gur but there is a price: Jay Garrick becomes one with the Speed Force during the battle and ceases to exist. The seven heroes burry Yalan Gur alive in a secret location and vow to guard the secret with their lives. Doctor Fate contacts one of the endless, Morpheus. Together the two of them remove knowledge of the near-apocalypse from humanity’s collective consciousness, and Morpheus keeps that memory hidden in the dreaming. Kent Nelson, Alan Scott, Dinah Drake-Lance, Ted Grant, Al Pratt and Wesley Dodds are the only ones who have knowledge of the event that nearly destroyed the world. Over the years these seven heroes have brought in others to help guard this secret. This secret society becomes known as the Justice Society of America, though it’s ways and means are largely rumor.
The members of the Justice Society go on to lead regular lives. The Sandman goes on to adopt a young partner named Sanderson Hawkins, and Alan Scott has a son named Todd (These two children grow up to become Sand and Obsidian respectfully – both of whom are part of a crowd shot in “INITIATION”). Dinah Darke-Lance and her husband Larry go on to have a daughter, Dinah Laurel Lance. John Carr gets married and ends up having a son whom he nicknames “Snapper”. The mantle of the Flash is taken up by a friend of Garrick’s widow, Barry Allen. Barry marries his girlfriend, a woman named Iris West. It is through Garrick’s widow, Joan Williams, that Barry Allen comes into contact with the other members of the Justice Society.
The memory of the event is kept safe within the dreaming, but over the years, certain details bleed into the imagination. For example DC comics publishes “THE JUSTICE GUILD OF AMERICA” in 1961. But the creators aren’t able to explain where the idea came from. It features Scott Mason as The Green Guardsman, Donna Nance as Black Siren, T. Blake as Cat Man, The Streak, Tom Turbine, and the official Justice Guild Junior Justice Guild’s Men, Ray Thompson.
Issues of the “The Justice Guild” comic end up being collected by a man named James. James nephew, John Stewart, discovers the books one day after school. They quickly become his favorite characters. Stewart ultimately believes that he learned right from wrong reading those comic books.
The Movie Studio Spectre produces 21 episodes of a television series entitled The Gray Ghost, inspired by The Sandman Dr. Thomas Wayne watches this show with his son, eight-year-old son, Bruce. Once his parents are killed, Bruce goes onto to turn the Batcave into an exact replica of the Gray Ghost’s lair. Ra’s Al Ghul is kept aware of the Starheart’s presence by his continued immersion in the pit.
Dinah and Larry Lance soon discover that their young daughter, Dinah Laurel Lance, is a meta-human. She is gifted with a super Sonic Bird Call. Dinah Sr. has Dinah Jr. begin training with family friend Ted Grant. Meanwhile, Iris West’s young nephew, Wally, discovers his uncle’s identity as The Flash. He is introduced to the other members of the Justice Society, whom he refers to as “Uncle Barry’s super friends”. And Joan Williams becomes known as “Grammy Flash”. Wally West ultimately becomes the Flash when he is hit by Jay Garrick’s speed force lightening bolt. Meanwhile, Professor Ray Palmer inherits the name “The Atom” from Al Pratt.

In the present day, Ra’s and the Society manages to extract the secret location of Gur’s coffin from Morpheus and travels to Gotham City. For reasons unknown, Talia has a change of heart and ends up betraying her father to Batman and the League. This results in final battle that brings about a near Apocalypse. Ra’s is ultimately defeated but the cost is dear. Gotham City is leveled in the process and not all members of the Justice League make it out of the battle with their lives***.
Ra’s Al Ghul is presumed dead, and his Ubu attempts to rally the members of the Society of Shadows. But he is stabbed in the back by a member whose identity will be determined later. This character kills Ubu and takes charge of the Society. He says that the Society was so named because they were “Shadows cast by the Demon’s head”. With the Demon dead, it’s members are no longer shadows, but merely assassins. He re-christens the group the Society of Assassins and they become mercenaries for hire.

***The only “Good Guy” characters who are 100% confirmed to have made it into the “Beyond” era are Bruce Wayne (Batman), Barbra Gordon (Batgirl), Timothy Drake (Robin), Clark Kent (Superman), Big Barda, Kairi Tanga and *maybe* Richard “Dick” Grayson [The character is never shown, but Barbra talks about him as if he were alive]. Static, Gear, Wonder Woman, and The Martian Manhunter *might* have made it. But their presence in the “Beyond” universe was established in time-travel episodes, so you could possibly write that off as an alternate time-line. As for Hawkgirl, the only thing we know for sure is that she gave birth to Rex Stewart, we don’t know how long she lived after that happened.
In fact, one possible twist that could be introduced is to say that John Stewart is not Rex’s biological father, but that he was the product of Shayera’s relationship with either another member of the Justice League – or a civilian – and that both mother and father were killed in the Near Apocalypse of ’09. An honor-bound John would subsequently retire from the Green Lantern Corps. and raise the child as his own. If you go back and look at the conversation in The Once and Future Thing: Time Warped, this scenario is plausible. Anyway that’s where the show’s suspense would come from, not in weather Ra’s is successful or not (we know he won’t be), but in who makes it out of the battle alive.

To end the season on a moment of hope, we close with a scene set a year or two after the near-apocalypse. Much of the city is still rebuilding, but Gotham Park and the surrounding area has been newly refurbished. Bruce Wayne holds a press conference before the newly built Gotham Park Towers. The building looms in the background. On stage with him is members of the Justice League, the Justice Society, the Green Lantern Corps. and the Guardians of the Universe. Wayne acknowledges that much of the city is still in recovery, but that this should stand as the beginning of “New Gotham City”. He cuts the ribbon and we close out.

Sorry for the spelling mistakes there Count_Sarge 7, and thank you for the nice comments there, yeah i think Vandal Savage is one of DC's greatest villains. either; hereafter could have been the conclusion to the regualr universe character. but they could could have easily done a parallel universe version of Vandal Savage where he didn't reform as such and been a further nuisance to the league. And i imagine there might have been room to explore the one-shot character moreso like the Ultimen or Taskforce X etc.

Excellent theories there yourself cosmic_quest. 

Given time, i reckon anybody could flesh out their own JLU 'what if...seasons' and brainstorm mutiple ideas on where the series could've done had Bruce Timm and co churned out a few more seasons yet still. With the Warners animated single DVD/Blu-Ray movies coming out yet still with varying degrees of success, i think JLU is sorely missed out of all the actions the WB taken so far. Young Justice looks to be good, but its early days yet and JLU as at least big enough and grant enough to make it stand out ahead of the pack, of WB's other animated shows or at the very least encompass their continued successes alround.

Yeah i say the fans would've easily liked to have seen the series continue, and i'm sure like myself have envisioned just how it could've done so.

Oh, okay. This may be a bit complicated but I would have liked a episode that was a combination of three previous episodes: the ones where Huntress is kicked out of the league, the episode where Capt. Marvel is reprimanded for virtually endorsing Lex Luthor, and the episode where Capt. Atom has to fight Superman because of military obligation. Basically I would like to have seen the founding members go to the lengths of formally judging some member as having gone bad...maybe violating what they stand for in some way...and then physically subduing that member (the action part ). It would be a tough but powerful episode...especially if that rogue member was otherwise likeable and maybe just marginally over-the-line (like Huntress and Cap Marv) but also had power and strong associates outside of the Justice League...Like Captain Atom.


Your daughter ate my Toblerone!!!

BUMP! Just because it's ashamed to see a thread like this forgotten.

I would have liked to have seen some variation on the Hal Jordan/Parallax storyline.

Has Plastic Man ever been done in animation?

Lex Luthor stealing 40 cakes.
