The Batman Season 5 news

As many of you know Season 5 of the Batman will be the start of the JLA which features the following members:

Batman
Superman
Green Arrow
Martian Manhunter
Flash (Barry Allen)
Green Lantern (Hal Jordon)
Hawkman
Aquaman

Well there's some news: Seems that they got some JLU voices!

Season 5 begins with a 2 parter about Superman (voiced by George Newbern). Dana Delany will be reprising her role as Lois Lane and Clancy Brown returns as not as Mr. Freeze but as his TRUE role of Lex Luthor! Yay!!! I never did like that Clancy was voicing Freeze.

Wonder Woman will not be in the series period because her contract says that she has to be either Team Leader (like she was in JLU) or the star. Talk about an ego trip.

Cool. But if they wanted to do this, why not just continue JLU anyway...?

I just keep losing respect for CN/Kids' WB.

I will say, I dislike JLU, because the only DC hero I really like is Batman himself. (I liked the cartoon Teen Titans also, but that doesn't fully count). It will be interresting to see them drawn into this style, but that's just it. If you wanna make a new JLU show, make one. Just let Batman finish his new show alone first.

I mean, they made dramatic improvements in season 4 that made the show watchable. Now I think they've built themselves up too high, and are gonna come crashing down.

I personally think the DCAU team (Burnett is the producer) bullied their way into taking over the show and there getting back at WB for axing JLU by turning the replacement show into a carbon copy of their previous series.

With Matsuda gone, it really is'nt The Batman anymore anyway, Jeff knew what the show should be and what the style represented, not only that, but Duane Capizzi, the show's head writer, is too busy writing direct to DVD movies, it's perfectly easy for the guy in power to decide what he wants to do with the show. Yes, JLU should'nt have been axed, but don't turn someone else's idea and vision into what you lost.
