"Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something."
Henry David Thoreau
Arr, awesome quote provided by my most beloved
The Free Dictionary. I love it! It's the bestest dictionary ever.
Have a jolly Talk Like a Pirate Day, mates! Be yer days filled with rum, sweet wenches, good mates and great booty.
Behind the cut be the continuity notes I've been making for the Superman Returns Redux Challenge. The story is in need of a shorter name, yarr! I'll take suggestions (for both a name for the series and the continuity notes...)
The first Justice League forms. The line up is JLA Year One. Black Canary, Martian Man Hunter, Hal Jordan, Barry Allen, Aquaman. Green Arrow and Ted Kord make apparitions. Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are working solo.
Second Justice League forms, the Satellite era. Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman join it. Martian Man Hunter, Barry Allen, Hal Jordan, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Atom, Hawkman, Black Canary, Phantom Stranger, Elongated Man and Red Tornado. Hawkwoman, Zatanna and Firestorm. This is the first and only Justice League Superman was in. Some of the Satellite Era canon gets rewritten by Justice League Unlimited Canon.
Third Justice League funded, the Detroit era. Aquaman on the lead, Zatanna, the Martian Manhunter, and the Elongated Man, newly recruited Vixen, Gypsy, Steel, and Vibe. Batman rejoins later on.
After a while, Justice League reforms, Superman refuses to join. Batman leads it until it becomes International, when J'onn steps over, coinciding with Jason's death. Blue Beetle, Captain Marvel, Doctor Light, Mister Miracle, Guy Gardner, and Booster Gold are in this League.
Clark leaves the Earth, before Justice League becomes International, in a journey to find the remains of his planet after taking Lois's memory of their night together, leaving her pregnant. He spends 5 years off in space, alone, though he might have run into the GL corps.
Shortly after Clark's leave, Bruce buys the Daily Planet and Lois moves to the Gotham branch of the Planet, settling in the Manor. 3 months later, Jason dies. 4 months after that, JJ is born. Lois dies at birth, leaving Bruce to raise the child.
Within a year, Tim becomes the new Robin. Batman continuity includes Knightfall. The Clench. Cataclysm. No Man's Land. Part of War Games, but Steph is alive.
JLI disbands and Batman joins with Diana, J'onn, Kyle, Wally, Eel and Arthur the JLA of Morrison. Maybe Power Girl. Bruce and J'onn serve as chairmen. This is the current Justice League, though there's plenty of reservists.
JSA is Jay Garrick, Sentinel, Mr. Terrific (Michael Holt, who Superman never met), Wildcat, Jakeem Thunder, Stargirl, Sandman.
Bird of Prey is Oracle, Clack Canary, Huntress, Batgirl and Spoiler.
There is no Teen Titans yet.
The original Titans continuity remains. Nightwing was named by Superman, thought he left before Speedy became Arsenal.
Roy and Dick are leading the Outsiders.
Ollie died and came back to life while Superman was away. Current Green Lantern is Kyle Rayner. Hal Jordan remains the Spectre.
