You're Wrong: This Justice League Episode Never Happened

New shirts! ➡ teespring.com/stores/dcauwatchtower P.S. Look, I don't even know who MJF is, y'all. The track came from the same YouTube stock music library I always use. I've used it in like 3 other videos before this. It doesn't have any significant meaning, I promise. 😆

I actually like DC's logic that the kids' first introduction to the JSA shouldn't be them seeing the Team be dead.

The creepiness of John finding the fake books and destroyed subway was what made me remember the episode long after it aired.

That Batman scream at 24:57 was just so accurate towards the situation.

Just the fact the Seven Soldiers of Victory and members of the JSA appeared in JLU makes me happy. Instead of making all new original characters, creatives of the JLU showcased actual existing DC comics characters. Even if most of them were in the background, they were there. And that made me happy.

That plot twist had me rolling😂 I started laughing as soon as I saw “that was from the original commercial”

Emotional episode. "We died once saving this earth and we can do it again."

I really enjoyed Black Canary and Wildcat's appearances in Unlimited, so I'm glad they went with new characters for the Guild. Besides, Tom Turbine has a sick design.

I actually prefer the Guild being as they are now, a solid JSA tribute act with their own incredible story and valuable moral lesson. However, I would love to see an alternate ending where the "real" JSA have just finished watching the same episode we just witnessed. They discuss the events among their membership, noting the similarities and differences to their own world. From offscreen, the voice of Tim Daly (Unrealistic at the time, I know, but I wanna do a mythos gag, darn it!) says to the assembled gathering of Golden Age greats, "That was a hum-dinger of a tale, but of course, they could never do justice to the time WE met up with those guys, eh?" The speaker steps into the room. It's the Golden Age Superman, exactly as Shuster used to draw him, costume, spit curl and all. He turns to the "camera," winks at us, cut to black. And the "real story" could've been a DC Universe Original Movie DTV a decade later! By the way, I noticed on the revived Toonzone forum post you showed, Lucho's signature reads, "Ja think I'm a cowboy?" That's remarkably similar to the very first line Popeye ever spoke in the comics. Not sure if that'd help in any future search, but I thought it worth noting anyway. Thanks, Hats Off Entertainment, for posting a video on the 1980 Popeye film, and for including the very panel in question early in the runtime!

I've gone back and forth on the Justice Guild for a long time, but I think I'm okay with them being in the episode instead of the JSA. I do feel like a couple of their costume designs could've used a second pass though

It's interesting to note that Catman is a character in the public domain. Originally spelled as Cat-Man, he was a hero, but later on, even the villain from DC Comics wore a similar costume. Over the years, many people have created their own versions of Catman.

Keith David by the way is such a cool actor with a great deep voice. Goliath from Gargoyles was one of his best roles. He still sounded cool as him even in the non-canonical "The Goliath Chronicles". As for the video, it's interesting and entertaining as usual.

The version of the episode they went with worked beautifully. That John Stewart quote about learning to be a hero from the comics is even more poetic as viewers can relate to that. Great vid dudes.

Considering how it ended, I’m glad it wasn’t the real JSA. I love the episodes, some of my favourite from the whole DCAU, but had they introduced the JSA only to have them be dead the whole time wouldn’t have sat well with me. A brilliant love letter to the Golden Age, which doesn’t need the real characters to pay respects to it.

I think having the Guild being "JSA in all but name only/serial numbers filed off" works better in the episode than what was originally planned simply because it adds a bit of mythos to the DCAU. John was inspired to become a hero because of the comics, it's a natural and human detail that helps flesh out the DCAU on a bit more of a personal level a lot like the Grey Ghost in BTAS. As a bonus for lore nerds, it not only helps keep the possibility of the JSA being in the main universe, but could potentially help reinforce it since the JGA might've been an unlicensed, fictionalized version of them thought up by comic book creators residing in the DCAU to build upon/ride the wave of the living mythos of the JSA. It's happened enough in real life with public figures that gained legendary status.

This was a legit gripping mystery!, Im so glad that I found this channel not only as a fan of the DCAU but because you guys put together great scripts and presentations about how these shows were made, the fanbases that they inspired, you all just go above and beyond. I was born in 2001 and so my memories of the 00s are really scattered but I still get such an awesome sense of nostalgia with the music, the technology that was popular and accesible, the TV promos, and the online message boards - thank you WTDB this was really cool to see. I'm totally cool with the Guild, we still got to see JSA members appear later on in JLU, I love how they handled Wildcat, and comics are up to the brim with pastiches, homages, and reinterpretations of classic characters - thats how we got Watchmen! And the show never came across as making fun of the JSA at least imo.

Your dedication yo this universe is UNMATCHED. You guys are incredible

I think that it doesn’t matter that it wasn’t the jsa because the point of the episode was more about what the characters mean rather than the physical characters. It also added to the uneasiness of the episode because the characters weren’t 100% what we knew

I won’t be surprised if someone thought this was Mandela Effect thing

I didn't expect the search for the original animator to be so entertaining! I hope they find out about this video, and you finally get a chance to interview them.
