  • July 24, 2001: Bruce Timm reveals John Stewart being chosen for Justice League was out of a need for diversity and having a member who isn't just white bread is a good thing. Another reason was everyone on the crew liked John Stewart from the comics, especially the Denny O'Neil/Neal Adams version. They wanted to keep the edged attitude with him. They thought about the original idea of Green Lantern Corps as space cops or space marines and since Stewart is ex-military, they took inspiration from Lou Gossett Jr. in An Officer and a Gentlemen and Samuel L.

  • 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. Fogel summarizes Faust as a sorcerer who is in pursuit of ultimate knowledge and will stop at nothing to get it.

  • January 31, 2002: Michael Rosenbaum wrapped work on Justice League season 1 last fall. Some times he had to record by himself due to flying to LA from Vancouver where Smallville is filmed. 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.

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 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

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

Rock is executive produced and directed by Bruce Timm and a script by Louise Simonson & Walter Simonson and Tim Sheridan. Battle-weary Sgt.

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.

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

The Blue Beetle was meant to feel like a 1967 pilot that's been lying on a shelf somewhere. The purposeful mistakes had to be planned like the hook up shots and in the first meeting between Rick Morales and the animation studio, they were concerned about the animatic and asked if they were going to get a lot of notes.
