    Would it feature a more impressive Doom Patrol than appeared in the 5th Season of Teen Titans?

    Because seriously, they were weak as fuck. So was the Brotherhood of Evil. You could almost hear Slade cackling at their villainous impotence.

    Seriously. Of course, what do you expect when they don't have Niles Caulder's head in an ice bucket leading them?

    And "Slade" was more hardcore in the comics, too. Deathstroke the fuckin' Terminator. If I could only see one battle between cross-universe. insane, immortal mercenaries whose names rhyme with "Aid Wilson," I'd want to see Deathstroke fight Deadpool.

    I'm sorry, I seem to be leaking nerd all over the floor.

    And they wouldn't have to do an origin for every guest star. I mean we didn't see origins for most of the people that showed up on Justice League, but I do think it's important to cover the origins of the main characters a little bit. Jumping right into stories is cool and all, but...it sorta makes things happen out of context, so to speak.

    Oh, and are Sue and Reed married in the show? They are all kinds of married in the comics, but I swear everytime there's a different adaptation, they just dance around the issue.
    I don't even think they're a couple in this version of the cartoon.

    Doom Patrol would be cool, also a Young Justice cartoon would be awesome. Hell, a Green Lantern Corps cartoon, a New X-Men cartoon, an Avengers one, a good Spider-Man one (not like the horrific crap that was on MTV for three episodes), anything... fucking anything!! Just animate it well and have a writer who knows the characters... how hard could it possibly be?

    They also weren't allowed to refer to Batman at all, because of the craptacular Fox cartoon. Kind of hard, when the team's leader is ROBIN. Also, Starfire should have had a much larger rack. But then, I'm a purist.

    I'd like to see the Ultimate Avengers cut out this straight-to-DVD crap and become a more mature, Diniversish series. They don't quite capture the darkness or craziness of Millar's Ultimates, but they still had a really good feel. You can tell it was an amalgam of Ultimates and Avengers... though the Black Panther thing was just freaking weird.

    Why would an origin episode be necessary? I don't recall them ever doing one for BTAS or 90s Spidey, and those shows rocked.

    Mask of the Phantasm was not the origin story for B:TAS. Though in the series they did go over Batman's origin a few times. The episodes having to do with Crime Alley were poignant.

    Uh, it has him going out to fight crime for the first time, and the first time he puts on the batsuit. Sounds pretty damn close to origins to me.

    Those were flashbacks. The movie itself took place in TAS-time, when Batman was established (and thus known enough to be accused for killing mobsters)

    Yes yes, and Raven should have turned evil rather than simply being a gateway, and Cyborg shouldn't look high-tech and awesome but more like he's a black dude in armor.

    Although they hinted at Batman a lot. Especially in "Go!" which was the origin episode.
    "Aren't you supposed to be in Gotham with-"
    "I work alone!"
    *Bats fly out*

    Also the constant Wayne Corp(or whatever his companys called) buildings, references to Gotham and Metropolis.
    For a show that was given pretty strict guidelines of who they could and could not mention, they did a good job of making fan nods.

    So, episodes are broken down by series, and then by seasons. Each episode file has the title, the episode numbers, which characters appeared, a brief summary, and a more detailed summary. The brief one is like..the blurb CN puts out for the episode, ya know? It'll also list appearances of the Bystander League, even though no one else really gets what that is. It'll say what other episodes may be referenced in it, and how it links to other parts of the universe. Any interesting episode tidbits will also be included.

    Characters are just all lumped together because they seriously cross over so much, it'd be kinda dumb to try to lump them by show. Each character has information like real name, origins, powers, who voiced them, etc. It'll have the episodes they appeared in (speaking and non-speaking roles) and which episodes/stories were really important to the character. It'll have different examples of their costume, alternate universe examples of the character, all that stuff. And again, any interesting facts around the character.

    Vehicles and locations will follow this same sort of idea, but probably won't have nearly as much information as other things.

    I'm also going to work on a section about the voice actors, musicians, writers, directors, etc. This is a huge work progress and I'm honestly not even sure why I'm doing it.
