December 19, 2001: Bruce Timm talks about coming up with Justice League's "Legends" but Paul Levitz at DC deemed it an inappropriate use of the characters that contrasted the publisher's recent revitialization efforts for the Justice Society. He saw they wanted the story to be a love letter to the original JSA and a bittersweet nod to simpler times. He quickly agreed to a compromise of changing the names and designs just enough to make them Earth 2.5 instead. They went back and forth on names like Justice Battalion and Justice Squadron but settled on Justice Guild. Things went down at the eleventh hour awaiting clearances on Justice Guild character names from the legal department. They were even recording not knowing some characters' names.

January 10, 2002: Rich Fogel wanted to do a story revolving around magic after the huge sci-fi epics of "Secret Origins" and "In Blackest Night" so Felix Faust seemed like a natural choice of villain. He reread some comics and found him pretty goofy but there was something that intrigued him so the tweaking began. Joe Kuhr had some great lines and really helped soldify the story.

It was the 11th of 13 episodes. They changed the color palette to reflect the "influence" of Batman and Chlystek encouraged the board team to treat it like we are all meeting Batman for the first time so there will be some iconic silhouetted shots.

He got the role of Flash simply from working on Batman Beyond and The Zeta Project before Justice League and was asked if he would like to read for the Flash. He trusted his instincts and gave his own take. He recalls having fun with Flash defending Green Lantern in court or times when Bruce Timm would ask him to do a take on an actor when voicing a role like a really creepy Christopher Walken for Ghoul in Return of the Joker or a Kevin Spacey for Deadshot in Justice League. Comics Continuum Article
January 31, 2002: Bruce Timm comments on digital coloring. It gives a much broader range of FX, everything from self-color lines (like the invaders from "Secret Origins"), greater control over elaborate camera moves, and completely digital FX programs for smoke, fire, water, force fields, and texture-mapping. He hopes technology will improve someday to match the old, shot-on-film look. It also gives greater control in the editing room and saves them a lot in retakes but it also takes twice as long to edit a show. He and editor Joe Gall often change the timing of a scene, adding dramatic pauses or speeding up/slowing down an action, or manipulating the image digitally. Last week, they were agonizing over a dialogue scene between two characters in "Fury" Part 1 that wasn't working dramatically because the lines were all butted up against each other. It needed dramatic pauses but there were flickering candles in the background. They ended up using every trick to make the scene work and even invented some new tricks like playing part of the scene backwards. Timm admits he misses cels. Anime Superhero Article

"Lines and resolution have been enhanced, and dust and dirt have been removed - however, cell dirt remains to not disturb the original picture. Included in the remastering was the removal of grain, resulting in enhanced colors. The remastering process does cause a slight aspect ratio change (approximately 3% loss of screen image). Due to time-worn irreparable damage, the remaining 11 episodes were "Smart Rezzed" from standard definition Digibeta video. The process provides for significant enhanced resolution and improvement of the original source material in converting from standard to high definition, though it does sacrifice horizontal lines for clearer image and color representation. While still a marked improvement over the original video, viewers will notice a slight difference between the Remastered and the Up-Rezzed final footage." The 11 affected episodes are: "Eyewitness," "Final Cut," "The Last Resort," "Armory," "Sneak Peek," "The Eggbaby," "Zeta," "Plague," "April Moon," "Sentries of the Lost Cosmos" and "Speak No Evil."

June 7, 2021: J.M. DeMatteis teases in the Justice League Unlimited episode "The Return" feeds directly into Justice League Infinity, the main seven appear, other characters you don't expect to see will appear, there's new characters, series is very packed with characters, they are continuing threads such as certain relationships carrying on, and it is set "maybe a couple years later".

June 30, 2021: James Tucker was first approached for Justice League Infinity well into the home quarantine era of the pandemic, he wasn't sure about doing it at first just because if it was right to do it without Dwayne McDuffie and Bruce Timm, he approached it as what would the show have done had it continued, he recommended bringing in J.M. DeMatteis, DeMatteis does the lion's share of the writing, Tucker describes his duties more like what he did as a producer on JLU - a consultant suggesting ideas, talking about the threads left hanging, this is how this can tie in, tweaking a line - rather than as a co-writer, watching Justice League vs. Fatal Five helped convince him to agree to do the comic, and a bit of the paranoia from the pandemic translated into the comic.

July 6, 2021: Interview with James Tucker and J.M. DeMatteis about Justice League Infinity. Andrew Marino pitched a premise to Tucker that intrigued him and he came on board. When Marino talked about the multiverse idea, Tucker remember one of the thoughts the Justice League Unlimited crew had an idea to send the League into space on a quest in case they were renewed again. Tucker saw kernels of that idea in Marino's pitch and DeMatteis fleshed it out. The theme of identity runs parallel with Amazo and J'onn in this series. Series will touch on Batman and Wonder Woman and John Stewart, Shayera Hol, and Vixen. Series is more focused on the core 7 than the whole League. There is an upcoming issue that Ethen Beavers just turned in that gets very Kirby-esque and is centered on Wonder Woman. CBR Article
July 6, 2021: Interview with J.M. DeMatteis about Justice League Infinity. DeMatteis re-watched Justice League on HBO Max to refresh himself on the series. There's an alternate universe version of the Justice League, that he never even knew about and not been used very much. He and Tucker "took those characters and pumped them up and expanded them and they’ve become very, very important, especially a few central characters on that other team, become very, very important to the story." There's another AU Justice League that he had so much fun with, he'd love to spin them off into their own series. Darkseid appears but may be an AU version. AIPT Article

Death In The Family will be a long-form animated short anchoring a compilation set releasing in late 2020. Each short opens with a new, live-action branding sequence with easter eggs. Sgt. Rock is executive produced and directed by Bruce Timm and a script by Louise Simonson & Walter Simonson and Tim Sheridan. Battle-weary Sgt. Rock thought he saw everything that World War II can dish out. But he is in for the surprise of his life when he is assigned to lead a company consisting of legendary monsters into battle against an unstoppable platoon of Nazi zombies. Voice cast is Karl Urban as Sgt. Rock, Keith Ferguson, William Salyers and Audrey Wasilewski. Adam Strange is produced and directed by Butch Lukic, story by Lukic, and written by J.M. DeMatteis. On a rugged asteroid mining colony, few of the toiling workers are aware that their town drunk was ever anything but an interplanetary derelict. But when the miners open a fissure into the home of a horde of deadly alien insects, his true identity is exposed. He is space adventurer Adam Strange, whose heroic backstory is played out in flashbacks as he struggles to save the very people who have scorned him for so long. Voice cast is Charlie Weber as Adam Strange, Roger R. Cross, Kimberly Brooks, Ray Chase and Fred Tatasciore. Inspired by Neil Gaiman's "The Sandman," Death is produced and directed by Sam Liu and written by J.M. DeMatteis . Vincent, an artist with unresolved inner demons, meets a mysterious girl who helps him come to terms with his creative legacy... and eventual death. Voice cast includes Leonardo Nam as Vincent, Jamie Chung as Death, Darin De Paul, Keith Szarabajka and Kari Wahlgren. The Phantom Stranger is executive produced and directed by Bruce Timm and is written by Ernie Altbacker. Set in the 1970s, the short follows young adult Jess as she joins her friends at a party in a dilapidated mansion hosted by the mysterious Seth. When odd things begin to happen to Jess and her friends, the Phantom Stranger intervenes to save her from a dreary fate. Voice cast is Peter Serafinowicz as The Phantom Stranger, Michael Rosenbaum as Seth, Natalie Lander, Grey Griffin and Roger Craig Smith. All five new DC Showcase shorts include Jim Krieg as co-producer, Amy McKenna as producer, and Sam Register as executive producer. WF Article

March 26, 2020: Bruce Timm wanted to evoke a "Late 60s" vibe and aimed for 1969 for the setting of the short. In preparation for breaking the story with Ernie Altbacker and Jim Krieg, he re-read Phantom Stranger comics and happened to notice the first issue of the second series was published in 1969. Everything clicked after that. Woodstock, The Manson Family, the Generation Gap, the first Led Zeppelin album, the first Alice Cooper album, Flower Power, the first issue of Vampirella, "Turn on, tune in, drop out" Psychedelics phrase, the first season of Scooby Doo, and the first season of The Brady Bunch got mashed up. At his first record, Peter Serafinowicz said, "So I'm gonna do this with my own accent, right?" and the British accent worked with Phantom Stranger. Michael Rosenbaum asked Timm want he wanted for the Seth character. Timm described Seth as a cross between Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and Jim Morrison of The Doors with David Cassidy's hair. Rosenbaum recalled Morrison's "I am the Lizard King - I can do anything..." Animesuperhero Bruce Timm post
