Whoa! I received a belated surprise birthday gift which really left me dumbstruck, in the happiest of ways. This incredible "movie poster" fan art was done by the amazingly sweet
ArtCrawl on deviantART, who is one of my favorite artists; I aspire to her level! Please be sure to click on the image to check it out-in all its epic glory-at her Gallery.
Thank you, ArtCrawl! I love it!!
Now, as for the simplistic title of this Journal entry, it's actually a throwback to dialogue in the 2013 DC animated film
Justice League: Flashpoint Paradox. Another epic in terms of artwork, storytelling, and soundtrack, it is my favorite of the DCAU feature-lengths. I happened to re-watch it again the other night, and was surprised to suddenly spot Dr. David Wilcox (Young Justice: Invasion) making a cameo in the background:
I offered YJ screen captures of the S.T.A.R. scientist
here, for reference, and I write him often in fanfics. His appearance isn't surprising though, given Phil Bourassa was the lead character designer on both shows, and the Warner Bros. studios have already proven they enjoy nods back-and-forth with
cameos. Everyone at the time was already well aware other YJ cast members were featured, notably the updated, matured designs of Kaldur (Aqualad), Tula (Aquagirl), and Garth (Tempest).
Awhile back I read an interview with the minds behind Young Justice, explaining the Atlanteans appearing in Flashpoint. If memory serves, at the time Aqualad had not yet made his appearance in DC Comics New 52 reboot, so they sorta had free-reign on designing and using Kaldur'ahm, who later became Jackson Hyde in comics. However, after I saw Dr. Wilcox, I hawk-eyed on the rest of the movie. Unfortunately, no Eduardo or Asami still, but I did catch an obvious walk-on by B'arzz O'oomm (Green Beetle) in his human guise, as well as characters who resembled Lucas Carr and Dr. Serling Roquette.
