Supermans wife in the dream is a combination of his two romantic interests throughout the years. She looks like Lana Lang his hometown sweetheart from smallville but she has the voice of lois.
@@RealFatherJohn There's actually more to it than that. You see, there's a Superman comic from the mid-sixties where he goes back in time and ends up on Krypton. Unable to return without his powers, he decides to settle there (even befriending his future parents, Jor-El and Lara). He falls in love with a Kryptonian movie star named Lyla but sadly, before they can get married, he's accidentally sent back to present-day Earth, leaving him heartbroken (because, of course, Lyla died when Krypton exploded). So in the comic this episode is based on, he was dreaming about being married to her. But because that story was never adapted for Superman The Animated Series, most viewers wouldn't have known who Lyla was, so the episode created Lona to fill that role.
This is one of my favorite episodes. Everything with Superman is very sad and touching. I feel sorry for Batman having to relive his parents' deaths as well. Wonder Woman not giving up the fight was really great too.
If Wonder Woman had the black mercy on her, I think this might be her heart's desire: Diana and Steve Trevor *(The man she saved when he crash landed on the islands of Themyscara)* become the new rulers of Themyscara, they have a few children together, and Diana's mother approves men now to all Amazonians. I feel sad to both Batman and Superman. Each of them are experiencing what their lives were like if the bad part never happened as their heart's desire. But it happened. 😢
This is episode based on superman annual #11’s “for the man who has everything” written by Alan Moore. As far as I’m aware it is the only adaptation of one of his works he approves of and thus it’s the only adaptation he allowed to include his name in the credits. The episode changes a fair amount from the comic. For example Jason Todd’s robin is in the comic version and if I recall it’s him who gets the black mercy onto mongal. Likewise in the comic it’s batman who gives superman the flower. The biggest difference is that they remove a political storyline from superman’s dream world, in which krypton is divided into two apposing political factions that eventually riot against each other.
@@RealFatherJohn Jason Tood doesn't exist in the DCAU. Alot of Jason's attributes were given to Tim Drake, the reason being that Jason was dead in the comics at the time and this was years before he came back as Red Hood, so didn't adapt Todd to streamline the franchise. They did a similar thing with Green Lantern Kyle Rainar where they him some of Hal Jordan's stories and characteristics such as his personality and his archenemies Sinestro. They also did the same thing for The Flash Wall West where they gave him Barry's origin for how he got his powers and some of his villains.
7:22 Now that was a subtle detail I didn’t notice the first time watching this. Because superman subconscious recognizes this version of Jorel as his father it has the voice of Jorell one minute but then it swaps to superman‘s birth father Jonathan Kent. Subtly hinting at the fact that superman is beginning to remember his real life on earth
Fun fact Superman's dream wife Loana( Is a combination of Lois and Lana his current love and first love) which is indicated by how she had red hair(Lana Lang has red hair in the show) and purple eyes(Lois Lane has purple eyes in the show)
That plant is devious, showing the heart's desire when in reality it's false😭. This villain got hands though, running the 1v1 and handling our Big 3💀. Wonder Woman was giving him a run for his money with those wrestling moves, never backing down💪😤
It's kinda sad to think that Superman's dream had several years of life with his wife and son, but Batman's stayed with his dad beating the mugger. Even in his greatest dreams, Bruce never could move past that night.
Admittedly, it's a bit a flawed when another episode in the same universe has something similar. So either a consequence of following the source material or he's unfortunately become more cynical over time
Omg this is like the episode. Even Alan moore said this adaptation was good and he doesn't like any adaptation of his stuff. I think about this ep a lot
If you looked at SEASON 2 of the original Justice League, the villain was MONGAL, from the episode "WAR WORLD". (forgive me if I spelled the name wrong).
4:05 it’s just like the Kill Bill speech about Superman, but it shows that he is very emotional even after Mongul gave him a life he always wanted just as the Mad Hatter did for Batman but if you saw Superman 2 his parents told him that he has to live as a normal man just to be with Lois and look how that turned out.
Also, this guy is that strong because he spend years training to be stronger than superman after he lost to him, this is why WonderWoman couldn't beat him.
Whatever that thing gives me, I'll never truly be happy because happiness is something that you can't never really gain like most things. Sure things that can bring you happiness, but they can't literally give you happiness itself.
First bit of the first season of this show the episodes are gonna be more solo and some are gonna be goofy, then in season 2 there will be a story going on through the whole series and that season does references to superman tas and a little bit to batman tas.
His dream wife is a combination of the two women in his life who had really had an attraction to: Lana Lang and Lois Lane. The dream life that he wants is to be a farmer, like his Earth father. He likes the simple life. Mongul is actually one of the strongest villains in the DC universe. While Wonder Woman is strong and powerful, all she could do is try and delay Mongul since he is close to Superman's power. The reason why Mongul is probably talking so much is because when he ruled Warworld, he hosted the gladiatorial games, so he had to be a bit of a showman. It's sort of similar to how wrestlers are when they are about to enter the ring. However, Mongul is also doing this as a psychological plays as well. Taunting and getting an opponent riled up can result in them making a mistake that you can exploit. With Wonder Woman, he's just playing with her since he knows that he's far stronger than her. You saying Wonder Woman was nerfed is not really true. She is a powerful heroine, but just because she is possibly the second most powerful person on Earth, doesn't mean that she can go toe to toe with beings from other planets.
That’s not entirely accurate. WW has beaten beings from other planets plenty of times, including Zod and Faora. Her power levels are inconsistent in the comics because it all boils down to how powerful the writer wants to make the character in that particular issue. On average though, she was a lot weaker in the in JLU than she is in the comics. And FYI, WW has beaten Mongul recently. See Superman/WW #11. I’m pretty sure she beat him in the last couple years too, but I’m too lazy to look that up.
A very sad episode here. For Superman could had it all back home if it was still around, same with Batman a bit on what we seen. That Mongul is such a big jerk!
There is another loose adaptation of this story -- where it's Supergirl who falls victim to the Black Mercy planet instead of her cousin. ("Supergirl" -- Season 1, Episode 13, entitled "For the Girl Who Has Everything")
Loana. She is a combination of Lois Lane and Lana Lang. She has Lois's purple eyes and voice. She also has the same body appearance as Lana, Kal's friend they went to high school together and met since they were three.
You think that Mongul should have been the villain of Superman Returns instead of Lex and his stupid obsession with Real estate scam and I believe that Mongul is voiced by Eric Roberts (Julia Roberts brother)

Okay, that makes sense now. I was wondering why he was with a random girl.
All she needs is a fish tail and she's complete.
@@RealFatherJohnalso he is on krypton, so no super powers, normy basically with a normal life.

Loana - mostly Lois Lane but with Lana Lang's red hair. And he's a farmer growing vast fields of Kansas wheat on Krypton.

They took Jason Todd out of it 😭. That would have been one for the books if he was in it.

@@Alice-me2qk Robin (whether Dick, Jason or Tim) was off-limits to Justice League Unlimited anyway because of the infamous "Bat-embargo".
I love how it’s implied Diana’s will is so strong the plant couldn’t do anything to her
She loves her life as-is, I don't think it had anything to brainwash her with😅
7:22 Now that was a subtle detail I didn’t notice the first time watching this.

Jor-El is his real birth dad. Jonathan Kent is Superman's adopted dad.
@@lisettegarcia7013Johnathan is Superman’s real dad.

That plant should be outlawed. That's too much of a dirty move. I know he was 1v3ing, but get me some Taco Bell. I think I can take him.
The Mad Hatter would envy that parasite
It's kinda sad to think that Superman's dream had several years of life with his wife and son, but Batman's stayed with his dad beating the mugger. Even in his greatest dreams, Bruce never could move past that night.
The reason it took Bruce to the mugging is because Bruce can’t imagine a happy life past that point

The unseen Westchester incident from Logan
One of the few adaptations Alan Moore, the guy who originally wrote the story this episode is based on, likes.
Omg this is like the episode. Even Alan moore said this adaptation was good and he doesn't like any adaptation of his stuff. I think about this ep a lot
It's a really good episode even with the thing they changed.
If you looked at SEASON 2 of the original Justice League, the villain was MONGAL, from the episode "WAR WORLD". (forgive me if I spelled the name wrong).
Yea, I remember him. He must still be man. We took his planet from him
This is nearly a year old, but I believe Warworld was from Season 1.
4:05 it’s just like the Kill Bill speech about Superman, but it shows that he is very emotional even after Mongul gave him a life he always wanted just as the Mad Hatter did for Batman but if you saw Superman 2 his parents told him that he has to live as a normal man just to be with Lois and look how that turned out.
Sometimes, what you want is not what you need. It is sad to see, but Clark may need to be Superman more than he wants to have a normal life.
I don't know if it's just me, but I always love to see Brainiac, in any form lol
Agreed
I wish Brainiac would be the main villain in a live-action Superman movie. I can see him being a creepy Hal-9000-esque villain.
Also, this guy is that strong because he spend years training to be stronger than superman after he lost to him, this is why WonderWoman couldn't beat him.
After watching his parents die a second time, Batman wishing he just mailed his card to the fortress 😔
Man, I love this episode so much. It’s so dam sad, plus pissed off superman is fun too see.
Mad Superman is always nice to see. Man does not play.
Notice how much more impactful it is when he's not a brooding cynical asshole ALL THE TIME.
Whatever that thing gives me, I'll never truly be happy because happiness is something that you can't never really gain like most things. Sure things that can bring you happiness, but they can't literally give you happiness itself.
It's like wanting something then when you get it. You like it for like the first week, then you forget about it.

The girl in Superman's dream is meant to look like a combination of Lois Lane and Lana Lang.
What happened to Justice League Unlimited Episode 1?
He did it ages ago. Before he watched justice league
@@thewerewolff7248 Okay.
The comic book story is actually much better. Especially what Superman does to Mongrel.
A very sad episode here. For Superman could had it all back home if it was still around, same with Batman a bit on what we seen. That Mongul is such a big jerk!
3:41 thats very vile😳
8:03-8:16 I got very emotional 😭 when, it’s nothing real to Superman.
A true villain for having Superman go through that.
@@RealFatherJohn indeed. Also, Mongul deserves his punishment for using the 🐙 mind control.
There is another loose adaptation of this story -- where it's Supergirl who falls victim to the Black Mercy planet instead of her cousin. ("Supergirl" -- Season 1, Episode 13, entitled "For the Girl Who Has Everything")
I've seen super girl, but I don't remember what happened in it.
Wonder Woman is strong but she is not on same strength level as Superman. Great reaction. Mongul is 2nd to Darkseid in terms of strength
The woman is a mix of Lois and Lana
Fatherjohn incorrect episode 1 from justice league unlimited want Mr fatherjohn
You have to go back and see it cause I made it a while ago or look at the playlist.
I'm sorry
I assumed that WAS Louis is his dream. Who was it if not her?
Loana. She is a combination of Lois Lane and Lana Lang. She has Lois's purple eyes and voice. She also has the same body appearance as Lana, Kal's friend they went to high school together and met since they were three.
@@lisettegarcia7013 Ok. Thank you. That hadn't occurred to me. I'm a big Allen Moore fan, but only just so much a Superman fan.
where do you watch thisssss
Hbomax
I love this episode ❤
It's a good one
You think that Mongul should have been the villain of Superman Returns instead of Lex and his stupid obsession with Real estate scam and I believe that Mongul is voiced by Eric Roberts (Julia Roberts brother)
I assume they put Mongul because people forgot about him. So when they reshowed it would bring that shock factor.
That blew my mind when I saw that was his sister, all that time I thought he just happened to have Roberts unrelated.
There’s a reason Batman was trying so hard to get Superman free💀Batman is not throwing dukes with mongul on 99.9% of occasions
