#I don’t actually hate hawkgirl that much but the JLAS version of her did some questionable things….

does anyone have a character they REALLY want to hate but their character design is too badass so u can’t hate them

Do you have any more detailed thoughts about your hypothetical Vibe tv show? Like with other characters you'd bring in or actors or animation style or anything? It just sounds really interesting and your thoughts on JLAs Vibe are just fun to hear all around

i know the names of 0 actors so animation time :) also this is long because you activated my trap card so i put it under a cut.

i hate the current dc artstyle we’re stuck with and i’m glad we’re branching out to new ones for shows (like the new dc superhero girls style and justice league action). i’d like it to be...about as kid-friendly as young justice or justice league/justice league unlimited, where it can tackle serious topics and not speak down to its audience but still technically be a family thing. JL(U) specifically was very formative for me, clunky style and all.

i would be altering a lot of the league-specific stuff. the justice league already exists, they formed to combat darkseid’s invasion five years prior to the main story (opening scene/etc, adapted pretty much directly from the comic), but the stuff with waller is very different. instead of directly forming a team to take down the justice league, she just starts contacting people who she wants to control that she could hypothetically use to take down the league without connecting them to each other (similar lineup as in the comics, probably). importantly, they never interact--cisco should feel as isolated as possible from the rest of the superhero community.

the bart stuff is changed because i don’t wanna deal with bar torr. now waller pits cisco against daniel, who is part of the suicide squad and therefore also already in her pocket, but who she deems to be expendable. cisco wins but offers to help him with whatever waller sent him after, then when daniel is recaught by argus cisco is like hey don’t do that :( and the suicide squad sees that hey this kid’s not bad.

two other very important plotlines are dante investigating argus because he Doesn’t Trust Like That and cindy... who i have changed A Bit to mesh her canons together even though she’s still based on her n52 version. basically now the earth she’s from is specifically one of the dead earths in our current multiverse map (and she’s roma like she is in the main dc canon, of course). her dad smuggled her to earth-1/prime/whatever we’re using now when she was little, but the family he placed her with was killed by argus agents trying to capture her because she’s leaking some serious multiversal energy. when they fail, they send in cisco, who is like hey what the fack :( don’t do that (x2) and they start going on the run together.

i think there will honestly be a good episode or so about them just...being on the run from argus agents along with dante, that ends in the suicide squad being forced to capture cisco and cindy, but they let dante go because cisco was nice to daniel and honestly...was probably nice to them too whenever he had interactions with them. so fair is fair.

then we get a pretty straightforward adaptation of issue six with dante convincing dale (he and casey have A Big Presence in the show) to help him rescue cisco and cindy by extension. big armando reveal, because of course. that’s at the end of an episode, and the next episode opens with what happened when armando crashed on piradell and was found...by cindy, not by her mother, who tried to help this stranger and ended up watching them get turned into a weapon by mordeth anyway.

stuff keeps going, i’m trying not to do an episode by episode breakdown, but there are some changes made to the piradell stuff where quell’s lil team is alternate earth versions of the people waller was planning on using as failsafes for the JL!! no cisco, but we get an alt-earth hawkgirl (i will not be using hawkman), an alt-earth green lantern, an alt-earth katana, an alt-earth stargirl, etc. i think that’s more fun than it just being strangers. quell also specifically got all his Everything fucked up while he was smuggling cindy to safety across dimensions, and had to sacrifice his physical form to save her life, so he’s obviously pretty pissed that mordeth has her (step) daughter back again.

adaptation goes pretty normally from there, but cindy gets some more agency in her kidnapping where she’s able to escape using something she probably learned from dante or from the family who took her in (or both!). cisco rescues armando, etc etc etc--

end teaser is the same, but before that once cisco is back on earth we see him contacting everyone else waller was going to use as a failsafe and being like “hey these were her true intentions. kinda fucked up actually! anyway peace out.” 

season two would be about The JL Detroit Lite forming to rescue armando :) the lineup would specifically be cisco, cindy, jason & ronnie as firestorm, hank, mari who is here because she went holy FUCK you are ALL TEENS?? after she bonded with cindy (they’re SISTERS!!!), and j’onn, who came from the justice league to find out exactly what in the fucking hell is going on in detroit. 

(there’ll be a scene where they’re trying to decide on a team name and can’t. like

“teen titans? no, wait, that’s still taken. does lex luthor still own the copyright for infinity inc?” “i dunno, probably. what about the challengers of the unknown? we definitely challenged the unknown to rescue armando.” “did you read that off a cereal box? i like ‘the outsiders.’” “that one’s taken too, i think.”

etc, etc, etc. just because i think it’d be cute.)

anyway! i’ll stop writing now because my hand hurts very badly but..... i would like to make it.
