Speedy Appears on Upcoming JLU
Speedy makes an animated appearance in the upcoming JLU episode, Patriot Act, as one of the Seven Soldiers of Victory! Comic book fans will recall that Speedy was a member of that Golden Age team of superheroes.
Here's how Cartoon Network describes the episode: When an out of control super soldier threatens Metropolis, Green Arrow leads seven non-powered Justice Leaguers, including Crimson Avenger and Shining Knight, in a battle they can’t hope to win.
Speedy's animated look on JLU is essentially a more grown-up version of his Teen Titans design. For images, check out Toon Zone's Speedy Bio for JLU. The episode has only aired in the UK, and is not yet scheduled to air in the United States. An interesting note: The JLU Speedy is voiced by Mike Erwin, who provided Speedy's voice on Teen Titans. This adds to the Teen Titans/JLU synergy established by Michael Rosenbaum voicing Flash on JLU and Kid Flash on Teen Titans.
Could Teen Titans and JLU actually exist in the same continuity? The way I figure it, TEEN TITANS is actually a prequel to BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES. It takes place during Dick Grayson's high school years. And oh, it's told from Beast Boy's point-of-view, which accounts for the slightly skewed wackiness of the series. What do you guys think?

how can tt be before btas? in "go" the criminal was like "this isn't your town, aren't you with--"
robin, "just moved here." and throughout the whole episode he's like "i just don't went solo"
but speedy being in jlu is awesome, and i definitely want nightwing (stupid bat-embargo). i wish it would air in the us already!

To mel:
that's beacuse in BTAS, Dick Grayson was in college (that's why he didn't showed up in all the episodes) after years of being Batman's partner. In the BTAS episodes "Robin's Reckoning" and "Old wounds" it's kinda clear that they had differences in the past, and maybe he left for a time.
Nightwing is in the Bat-embargo? Because i don't see him near to appear in "the batman" series.

no that wouldn't work but of the inconsistency of which robin leads the titans.people assume its dick grayson and it should be but if u pay attention theres too many loop holes.
