WWWWOW UNFAVE DARK, I SEE

To my layperson knowledge, that numbering system was only made up for the DC animated universe system. The teleportation tubes were created in the late 70's I think when the JLA first created their satellite station (in pre-Crisis-on-Infinite-Earths continuity.)

Because DC seems to always reboot continuity constantly (Crisis on Infinite Earths, Zero-Hour, Flash Point/New-52) and because the TV and movie versions are based loosely on whichever continuity is current at the time, the actual rosters of the JLA teams vary as well.

The DCAU titles "JLA" and "JLA Unlimited" (and off-shoots like "Static Shock") were a separate continuity from "Young Justice", which came out prior to the latest continuity remake (New 52.) So honestly even the newest comics won't match what you will see on the TV shows.

In terms of the recent animated movies, Flashpoint Paradox onward all feature New 52 storylines and character designs. All the ones prior to that were based on older stories.

Sorry for such a long convoluted explanation, but DC has a bad habit of having a long convoluted history of reboots. It's confusing, but maybe easier in some ways than Marvel's system of simply writing stories forever and having every single story considered 'canon' without ever rebooting/restarting (and having characters from the 1940's still as young adults today.) :p

DC basically reboots every 10 years or so, mainly to clean character backgrounds, kill, or bring back from the death.

I honestly feel the JL/JLU series is crap. good for kids, but with watered down stories. (I feel this way because it seems ALL heroes join the JL and seem to mostly get along ok with high school drama)

that said, Most of the DCU "OVA" are pretty good, since they are good adaptations to the story they are based on.

I recommend checking out
JL WAR
JL Flashpoint
JL Doom

edit: as to my understanding, Boom tube tech is exclusive to Apokolips and New Genesis, while the Watchtower uses a more basic teleportation system. tho It is not to say, that the JLA might have used this sort of tech and adapted it, but that would mean obtaining a Mother Box/Father Box

edit 2:

I really know nothing about touhou, other than liking the character designs. But sakuya is definitely best girl.

Well for sure, compared to the source materials and to other newer properties like Marvel's Ultimate line (and movie offshoots) they seem like the Get Along Gang. :p But my personal frame of reference is the 70's Superfriends programmes, so compared to that, the JLU versions always seem to be in constant back-biting conflict with one another. ^_-

But yes, I did adore the "OVA" story adaptations so much. I really loved "Red Hood" and "Crisis on Two Earths". :)

"Captain faker, that's me" /gets *** kicked.

Which is why I don't read comics. No one ever truly dies forever since they bring people back all the time with lazarus pits and ***and reboot characters etc.

Yah, it is really confusing to keep it straight if you are a long-time fan, as they ultimately do it for new-readers/audiences (so they don't have to know tonnes of backstory to get 'into' a storyline.)

It does remind me of the number of reboots to things like "Tenchi Muyo" back in the 90's. I tried once to have my friends explain to me how all of the different Tenchi Muyo stories (and offshoot story lines) all fit together, and they just couldn't do it. :p I know it's the same thing for me when I try to explain the comic/ame-komi side of things. :p

I don't believe the Tenchi storylines are supposed to add up...

On another note: I've been watching Batman TAS for a few days, watching it right now in fact, haven't gotten to the pit part yet though, it's coming.

I actually stopped reading/buying a few years ago, after the "death" of batman, and shortly before the latest DCU Reboot.

I need to rewatch Batman Gotham Knight. that's pretty awesome

Ah it looks like they stopped trying to use the Memory Stick line for the PSvita and went straight from their own standard to a full proprietary card for it...

That's a shame.

Some of the Tenchi Stories do add up, but then you notice inconsistencies in them by changing the dynamics of certain characters and plot points in the story.

The whole Tenchi Universe (including the offshoots and such made by other artists) is pretty confusing. Especially the latest installment that's come out.
