These include characters like Deadman, Warlord, and an unnamed modern equivalent of The Seven Soldiers of Victory. To compensate for this, the producers used previously overlooked DC Comics characters to focus on in the stories.

No characters from the Teen Titans animated series appeared in JLU, nor vice versa, though Speedy appeared in an episode referencing the Seven Soldiers of Victory after Teen Titans was canceled. Characters from DC's "mature readers" Vertigo imprint were also not allowed. Aquaman and related characters were unavailable due to the development of a pilot for a live-action series featuring the character as a young man (similar to Smallville), which was not picked up. However, in the episode "Grudge Match", a silhouette of Nightwing can be seen in one shot crouching amongst the stone gargoyles. Characters associated with Batman and those who appeared in Batman: The Animated Series (aside from Batman himself) were restricted due to the unrelated animated series The Batman to avoid continuity confusion. Towards the end of the series, certain characters became off-limits to the show. The third and final season story arc focuses on the new Secret Society (which is based on the Legion of Doom) as the main villains, a loose-knit organization formed to combat the increased superhero coordination of the first season. It was resolved in a four-part story at the end of the second season of Justice League Unlimited.
This plot line builds upon events that occurred during the second season of Justice League (which in turn built upon events in Batman: The Animated Series, Superman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Static Shock, and The Zeta Project), and has affected the plotlines of most of its episodes. Most episodes tell a self-contained story, but the series also features extended story arcs, the first involving the building conflict between the League and a secret government agency known as Project Cadmus. The general format of each episode is to have a small team assemble to deal with a particular situation, with a focus on both action and character interaction. A number of these were heroes who had made guest appearances in Justice League, but many heroes and other characters made their first animated appearances in this series. Waller had no personal stake, she just needed a soldier and was always a villain, whereas Bruce loses his sense of virtue, knowingly destroying Terry's future with his ruthless time-scheme.Taking up soon after Justice League ended, it features a greatly expanded League, in which the characters from the original series-now referred to as "founding members"-are joined by many other superheroes from the DC Universe in the first episode, well over 50 characters appear. Waller was of the same mindset but was not as cold as Bruce in the ultimate execution of her plan. Bruce, however, isn't repentant at all, explaining that the world will always need a Batman. This closed the loop off so Bruce basically used Terry to inspire Warren, thus creating the domino effect because it's this heart and sense of altruism he saw in Terry that would cause Warren to do the right thing, turn on his boss, and be killed.īooster admits to Bruce he's giving Warren a death sentence and pushing Terry towards a life of hurt and duty. Bruce knew a time anomaly existed so he worked with Booster Gold and Matt, Terry's brother, to trick him into going to the past to save Warren. It turns out that Bruce is responsible for much of the pain in Terry's young life as Bruce found Warren's diary and realized Terry met his dad as a kid when Terry was suited up and made a trip to the past. That affectionate factor is thrown out the window in Issue #49 when we see how ruthless and calculating Bruce Wayne can be.
