When Aquagirl said Starro "saw Superman’s might and power over the years" she's probably referring to when Superman escaped the preserver's ship and Starro likely witnessed Superman clobbering the fxck outta Mongul in the Fortress of Solitude

Watching James lose time is outstanding

Starro has such a simple design but ends up being such a threatening villain with the most horrifying super power

Love this topic and/or Starro the character, apparently a lot more than Bruce Timm who's responsible for making me love the character, but I digress. Anyways, really top -notch stuff, James (if it's you currently in control, lol), especially with the effects! Also, is it weird that I sort of want one of those face/chest-latching suckers, too? They looked spot-on!

Starro the conqueror is such a great villain

The starro movements are very well done

Huh, I guess I missed that JL Adventures issue when you (James) were going through them. It's odd that it seems so for sure not-canon (given Starro's design, setting, etc.) and, yet, there's that line at the end by Superman hinting at Starro's "reappearance" in "The Call." It's especially so when you consider Supes, at that point, was already holding the one in his zoo from that S:TAS episode. Unless, because they're a different color, Superman doesn't recognize his Starro as one of them, but it's a stretch. (🤷‍♂️)

14:58 I had the same book when I was little. How you guys used staro as a horror character was amazing. The staro stickers, they still good?

Oh yeah!

I have vivid memories of that coloring book. But the only thing I remembered from it was the starro story so just these black and white pictures are bringing back some major nostalgia

Starro is very dangerous extra terrestrial.

I will say imma very excited to buy me merch! Are you a yoppie dude i know I am!

When in doubt, a DCAU newcomer, if not binging afficionado, better end Batman Beyond with "The Call" and Return of the Joker, NOT the airdate order finale "Unmasked" or the ever skippable The Zeta Project crossover"Countdown". After that, they should continue on with Justice League+Unlimited and Static Shock (with the non-DCAU Teen Titans on the side, later to be succeeded with The Batman 2004 after JL Unlimited is done). Besides, seeing the Beyond-era Justice League Unlimited team before seeing their founders' origins somehow feels right. Oh, and we sorely need a Starro with mind control powers akin to the Black Mercy. That would be a perfect amalgamation. (Addendum: Shocking how the DCAU thrived on via winging it in spite of the lack of a planned out storytelling course akin to Babylon 5 and Avatar: The Last Airbender. Still, gotta respect their grudging need to not put Starro in JL because continuity purism.) (2nd addendum: If Bruce Timm doesn't like Starro that much, then I don't like Joker bullet-paralyzed, wheelchair-bound Oracle.) (3rd addendum, please forgive: Just how many years was Superman Starro-possessed in the DCAU, and even then, how were the likes of Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, and, if still alive, Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen left unaware of it?)
