- Many actors played several characters. Unless it can be quantified, it is not relevant to stand out Michael Rosenbaum. ― Thailog 20:43, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

- I like it if it's rephrased to specify the characters or the number. ― Thailog 21:07, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
- Seeing the many uncrediteds he did and the ones we haven't identified yet, the exact number could be tricky. -- Tupka217 20:23, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
- It should be mentioned that on the Justice League episode "Tabula Rasa", when Amazo was looking for Lex Luthor, he found Michael Rosenbaum on the phone.--DCAUBatman 18:03, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
- Maybe, but not here. Perhaps in the episode's section. ― Thailog 10:16, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] George Newbern vs. Tim Daly (S/O)
… that George Newbern voiced Superman in more episodes (59) than Tim Daly (52)?
Support
- Tim Daly was the original and generally is the fan favorite voice for Superman, but few people know he played him in less episodes than his successor. ― Thailog 17:49, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

- I counted 60 for George Newbern. Was Static Shock episode "Toys In The Hood" included?--DCAUBatman 21:12, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
- I still count 59 with Static Shock included. ― Thailog 21:31, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
- That's if you only count as Superman - George Newbern voiced Bizarro on 2 episodes without Superman - "The Great Brain Robbery" and "Alive!" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DCAUBatman (talk • contribs) 05:22, October 16, 2009 (UTC).

… that "Double Date" was meant to have an injured Batgirl as Oracle and call in Huntress and Black Canary to take down Kirk Langstrom and an army of Man-Bats, but was changed due to the Bat-Embargo?

- Right now we have three DYKs about the Bat-Embargo. The Embargo imposed all sorts of restrictions. Are we going to start listing them all? ― Thailog 20:49, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
- No, but I think this one shows how taking away Batman characters ruins other groups - like Birds Of Prey.--DCAUBatman 08:25, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
- Besides, the others are about characters being removed or replaced. This one's about a whole episode being changed.--DCAUBatman 04:10, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Aquaman / Black Manta (S/O)
… that Aquaman and Black Manta (replaced by Devilray) were removed from Justice League Unlimited episode "To Another Shore" because of a live-action Aquaman series (which didn't work out) being made?
