This may have been brought up earlier, but what is happening with the DCAU ( I remembered Stargirl was in Justice League: Unlimited, that's why I brought it up.)
 
@Pyro

The use of the word "talisman" to describe the Scarab seems to imply that it keeps its original mystical backstory rather than being retconned as an alien weapon. Is that true?

If so, it'd come before the PoD; Len Wein made that change when he was writing Ted's mid-80s solo series (of which I have a complete set).

I like the idea of Ted being a mentor to "Jamie". "Jamie" should still be Latino, since good minority superheroes are comparatively scarce.

I second that notion.
 
Hows south park and the marvel comics.

Marvel is doing okay at the moment, its X-Men and Spider-Man titles are their perennial best sellers, but their market share is slowly eroding. DC has used the success of the their films to raise the profile of their books. Justice League often fights Uncanny and/or Adjectiveless X-Men for the top spot every month. Meanwhile, the meteoric rise of Green Lantern and Wonder Woman push titles like Daredevil and Avengers down the list.

On the movie from, the Spider-Man and X-Men film franchises are the backbone of Marvel/Fox's strategy. The patriotic fervour Captain America rode on was a huge boon to the character and appearance of the Fantastic Four in Spider-Man resulted in Fox green lighting a FF sequel. They are nervously watching the hype Justice League is building and may rush out an Avengers film to say competitive.

As this point, the scarab's origins will remain a mystery, but I have this idea where Blue Beetle teams up with Hawkman (the Katar Hol version as the Golden Age version died in Zero Hour) and Doctor Fate to uncover the mystery behind it.

I like the idea of Ted being a mentor to "Jamie". "Jamie" should still be Latino, since good minority superheroes are comparatively scarce.

I put Jamie in quotations because his name might be different TTL, but he was always going to be Hispanic in my mind. The relocation to Albuquerque was merely a flap of the butterfly's wings.

Any changes to the Harry Potter franchise? By late 2003/early 2004 the fifth book had been published and the third movie was out. Did you know that actually wanted Guillorme del Toro to direct that one? There were also talks of splitting the fourth movie in half (the fourth book was the second longest in the series) which in my humble opinion would have been for the better

Something to consider and to notice, maybe during the summer update(or fall when HP movies premiere) as the butterflies will be caugthing the series by now(i knew HP is pretty close to the POD but i give JK the doubt she already have the prototype of the first book at the time)
 
So it seems that Player Two Start's Steve Jobs has reached across space-time to whisper in OTL Sega's ear given that Sega Forever just launched today on iOS and Android (potentially other platforms as well in the future). Seriously: it's almost identical to what's been proposed here so far except for the fact that it's free!
 
First, I thought I should clarify my comments on Jack Knight. He is NOT a creator-owned character, but he was James Robinson's baby for all intents and when Robinson left the series TTL, DC let him retire character and pass his staff on to Courtney Whitmore. Sometimes it is better to let someone have their happy ending.

While true, at the same time, he set up such a wonderful set of characters, a lively setting and a great hero, that I would love to see more of - especially since Starman is one of the few newer heroes under DC's banner who can stand next to the ones that have existed for decades.

Getting the ending just right is nice - lord knows I would throw a fit if DC ever tried to bring Hitman back - but I would love to see Starman back in some form, even if Jack just hands the staff off to some new protegee.
 
I think I've found a very slight slip-up...

You've listed Ursaring as a playable character in Pokemon Gem Hunters, but back in Post #41, you said that Ursaring didn't exist.
 
Has anything happened to change Star Trek? Was Enterprise butterflied? If so, then what replaced it? If not then how was it changed? Hopefully, it at least was written better if it still exists ITTL.

I wouldn't mind at all if it was butterflied away entirely, and replaced with a series based on Peter David's Star Trek: New Frontier novels. ;)

I wouldn't mind it butterflied away either. It was the culmination of everything that made Voyager shit taken to it's logical extreme. I still want Scott Bakula to have a role. Mostly because I'm a diehard Quantum Leap fan. I was into Quantum Leap long before I watched TNG.

Scott Bakula is awesome but Enterprise cast him in exactly the wrong sort of role for his acting style.
 
It's not like a prequel series couldn't work. It'd be interesting to see how modern space tech transitions into TOS's retro 60's future tech.
Indeed. Heck, go even earlier to, like, the 2130s or so. Also, get rid of the "Temporal Cold War" because it was a stupid and overly-complicated idea.

Justice League Unlimited is still going on, and there's another DC series doing even better that we'll discuss in the kids' TV update.

Well, we won't be splitting the Goblet Of Fire movie, we'll probably do some kind of Harry Potter update next year.

Yeah, Sega Forever seems like a cool service! Hopefully it comes to consoles and we get Panzer Dragoon Saga.

Mmmm....we've been discussing Star Trek possibilities with someone, but for the moment we don't have anything set in stone. Maybe in time for the main TV update we will.

If saga does end up on that servixe, I'm just assuming they picked up a iso of the game.
